Music Blog: Midterm Medicine

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Hello, HerCampus readers! With midterms approaching and most of you buried under books or pouring that fifth cup of coffee, a brief music break is well warranted. Procrastinate with two videos I stumbled upon that shout awesome!

Animation Station: “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities

Meet buddies “Safe” and “Sound” in this quirky cool lyric video. The pals adventure in a musical world of psychedelic proportions. As I mentioned 2 blogs ago, Capital Cities, the Los Angeles electro-dance duo, are currently touring with Australian pop group, Gold Fields. Although Chicago does not claim a spot on their tour list, keep your fingers crossed they appear on the Lollapalooza lineup! Until then, enjoy their video for “Safe and Sound” below.

UK Cool: Ed Sheeran & Passenger Mashup

Two smooth Brits hit all the right harmonies in their acoustic and seamless mashup. The talented men are no strangers to jamming together, having shared a tour last year when Passenger (Mike Rosenberg) opened for Sheeran. Check out their soulful rendition of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” & Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop”! Now, back to studying!

Meaghan craves music almost as much as a good cup of coffee or a bagel smothered with cream cheese. Therefore, her most significant contribution to HerCampus arises once a week via her "Music Blog" section. Through this column, Meaghan hopes to inform and excite readers, introducing them to a variety of new music and music-related topics. Although difficult to decipher her crystal ball's contents, she would love to be working towards an outlet that combines design, writing, music, fashion, art and entertainment in the future. Obsessions also include the color pink and quoting her favorite films.
