The Higher Cover NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye”
The Higher have posted their cover of NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” on streaming platforms. My memory on this is fuzzy, but I’m pretty sure this was announced like a decade ago after being in their live set and then never released.

Um. So, that was quite a year.
We’ve been publishing some version of our favorite albums of the year since at least 2005, and the past twelve months have been unlike anything I’ve ever been through. It’s a year that will leave an indelible mark on all who experienced it, and I worry it will be years before we will be able to best understand and cope with the collective mass trauma. It was a year of uncertainty, a year of isolation, and a year of reshaping even the little routines that make up our lives. Tasks as simple as a trip to the grocery store are now measured risks, and going outside includes masks and a social construct with those around us to keep a safe distance. And I don’t know about you, but I found it very comforting to have music to turn to this year. It’s been such a constant in my life, and I often found myself reaching for it like a comfort blanket. As a way to regain a shred of normalcy, or as a way to connect with others across the internet as we shared a moment or discussion about a new song.
Before we reflect on the music that was released last year, I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone who read this website this year. We all went through this together, and I’m as appreciative as ever for having an outlet to write about things I’m passionate about and share with likeminded readers. Thank you.
Now let’s rank things.

Kelborne have released their new album, The Lovely Rot, on all streaming platforms. It’s full of emotionally-imbued pop-rock in the vein of Jimmy Eat World, but with some pop-punk and indie-rock influences. It was released last Friday and mixed by Matt McClellan (Being As An Ocean, Better Off) and mastered by Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance, The Story So Far, Meg & Dia).
