"When it comes to music, there is a special high I get from finding records that take me back in time. As a writer, I'm always yearning to find timeless songs that allow me to re-experience the best moments of my life...the feel of being seen and connecting with an artist over something you both have experienced is a beautiful thing. Although it's hard to find records like this in an oversaturated industry, there are still artists that take pride in creating singles that truly take you there. This week, I came across emerging singer-songwriter Keilani Mai...I haven't heard a record get stuck in my head like this in a long time. “PROM NIGHT" is infectious, and it makes me want to stay up all night and dance with my best friends. The record is wholesome and relatable to its core."
