Music Mondaze: Album Of The Week
Melody's Echo Chamber

In 2012, Melody Prochet, French psychedelic rock musician, released her first solo LP, "Melody's Echo Chamber."The self-titled debut album, released by Fat Possum Records, features psychedelic sounds with the perfect utilization of synth.

It was produced by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, and the pair worked primarily in Parker's Perth studio in Australia. It's easy to tell the clear influence Parker had on Prochet, as a majority of the album emulates that of Tame Impala-esque sound. While Tame Impala features more rough-sounding synths, Prochet truly and successfully achieves a natural, dream-pop sound.

Prochet uses a mixture of English and French lyrics that are equally captivating. Prochet's voice perfectly intertwines with the dreamy instrumentals, the two aspects meshing well to form a warm and lo-fi-sounding range.

"Quand Vas Tu Rentrer," or, in English, "When Will You Come Back," is a favorite among fans, enamoring listeners with a whimsical and playful approach in its noticeable synchronization with drums and synth. Prochet exercises her use of a vocoder exceptionally, accenting the track especially well.

"I Follow You," possibly the most Tame Impala-sounding song on the album, features Parker on drums and bass guitar, along with a solo guitar riff from the legend himself. The song is the perfect balance of softness in lyrics and dreamy, inspired vocals. While Prochet shows a lot of influence from Tame Impala, she is an artist in her own right, completely herself throughout the album. It is her masterpiece and her own distinctive sound that is successfully shown through this debut album.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
