This week’s album is a special one - Riley’s pick, and the record that sparked her own personal love of music. Relient K’s Forget and Not Slow Down blends heartfelt lyrics, clever wordplay, and driving melodies into an album that marked a turning point in her musical journey. You might even call it the original seed of Barber Cuts! We dive into the songs that hit hardest, the themes that linger, and why this 2009 release still feels so meaningful to her! Plus, our “Song of the Week” picks return to keep your playlists growing.
