Tia McGraff Impresses on “Sometimes Love’s Like That”
Tia McGraff is undisputedly a wonderful performer, a shining star within the Country, Folk and Americana music scenes. She specializes in making music featuring soft sentimentality, and she has a complete grasp over this strength. Her ability as a musical story-teller makes her stand out from her peers, and this comes across perfectly in her latest single, “Sometimes Love’s Like That.”
Like most of Tia’s output, “Sometimes Love’s Like That” is a sweet, sad sounding single. There’s a certain dreamlike atmosphere to this single that we feel really sets it apart from Tia’s usual work. It has all the hallmarks of her style, but there’s a warmth to it that evokes feelings of nostalgia. It’s like a perfect encapsulation of comfortable memories in the form of a song.
The songwriting matches this, as Tia writes about reliving old love and the sweet memories that come with it, even if there’s pain mixed in. We’ve got some fairly complicated feelings going on here, requiring a delicate and thoughtful approach to them. Taking these themes and butchering them can lead to the song sounding insincere or haphazardly put together, so how does Tia do?
We’re happy to report that “Sometimes Love’s Like That” succeeds in this department in spectacular fashion. Tia touches on these ideas and themes tastefully, greatly enhancing the song’s overall feel and vibe. We’d even go as far as to say the writing on the single is by and far one of its strongest suits, really capturing the feelings the song is going for.
There’s a fleeting sense of pain and sadness with the song too, which Tia expounds upon throughout the single. Love is a complicated topic, regardless of how simple and common it is, and Tia understands this. She explores the intricacies and pains of love, in a way that’s simply fascinating to listen to.
Production is fairly sparse, but it works better that way. The more simple production quality is essential to keeping the personal, intimate nature of the song. What’s most important however is that the song pushes the most important parts of the arrangement forward, enhancing the song’s atmosphere. There’s an almost grand sense of scale despite how personal the song is.
Overall, Tia McGraff once again impresses with “Sometimes Love’s Like That.” It’s an emotional tour de force of a single, standing out from the rest of the genre in its sheer quality of writing. Tia’s performance is also phenomenal, really conveying the complex emotions the song is trying to capture. We’re definitely looking forward to whatever she has in store for the future.

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.
The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”
But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
