UGA MBUS Student Ritika Sharma Forges Her Own Pathway
At ten years old, Ritika Sharma learned how to play the guitar—but upside down. Her father, who was left-handed, refused to buy her the instrument because she often struggled with sustaining a hobby.
“After a week, I’d be like, ‘I’m bored.’ He didn’t believe that I would stick with it. So, I learned the guitar upside down,” Sharma said.
Now, Sharma carries a dedicated spirit, with her seventh song “Love You Have Left” being released in late March. Even though she started writing songs at ten years old, she has wanted to pursue a career in music since she was 14—not giving up on her musical journey.
Sharma describes her music as “textured.” She doesn’t like to label or confine it to a particular genre, having learned rock from her father, talking heavy metal with a former boss, and being classically trained all the while.
Instead, she often asks herself what mood she wants to create, letting the lyrics stand for themselves in the absence of production, and vice versa.
“If you took the lyrics away, the production would shine, it would tell a story. And, if we took the production away, the lyrics still tell a story—that’s a test I do with all my songs,” Sharma said.
As a student in the University of Georgia Music Business program, Sharma says she’s learned that she can forge her own pathway, with each musician’s route to success being different. She currently has a mix of singles and an EP released. Vinyl Magazine met with her to discuss some of the lore behind each.
For The Fish
I think [with] the oceanic-like ambiance, I wanted it to feel like two fish were singing to each other. I think I kind of accomplished that. It was my first fully produced song. So, it’s definitely a learning process. I don’t think it’s a perfect song, but it’s really cool to see my progress.
Arabella
I wrote this about a friend I had in high school who was going through a rough time. She would always be like, ‘Oh I’m trauma dumping.’ And, I’ll just be like ‘Girl, you’re my friend, I want to hear about everything that’s going on in your life.’ … I don’t talk to that person anymore. But it’s weird because people are in and out of your life, but songs can just stay with you. And I think about that person a lot. So, I think that song just means a lot to me because it was about a special person.
Water Fights
That one’s about a relationship that just changed and shifted, it wasn’t the same as when it first started. I think that was just about youth and friendships. I think we have a lot of these friendships early on that just changed. It’s folk-inspired, and I just really liked the guitar melody.
14
That song was about middle school. I think growing up, I was in a very racist county. I’d get angry, my natural expression initially was anger. … But, my dad had a very kind expression, he thinks they don’t mean it like that—we have a different outlook on what people mean and why they do things. … That song was about [how] we’ll never be on the same page about how we want to react to things, how we want to treat other people… you can love people and them not think the way you do.
The Bear
The Bear was the first song I technically posted on TikTok and got me thinking about putting songs out publicly. … I wrote that about [how] it’s like the grass is greener on the other side—you have this bear that’s outside of a cave and a man who’s in a cave, and one wants to leave and one wants to be in the cave. There [are] positives and negatives to both sides. … I think it’s some of my best lyrics.
Sweet Bitter
It was the first time I was genuinely amazed by [the] stuff I created. … Usually, I would write, and then what my rough draft was was also my final draft. But, this was the first time I was like, ‘How can we edit this? How can we make it better?’ … So it started folk, turned R&B at one point. We meshed them, so the third section has R&B melodies if you really listen to it. It’s like four completely different sections that kind of signify the healing process. I think it perfectly takes you through you going insane and feeling not healed to being healed by a person who may have affected you. And it’s that sweet bitter feeling—you love them, but it’s time to move on. And, you also hate them.
Love You Have Left
I did it for an MBUS class. I had to do it so quickly… I had like multiple people, my friends who were trusted sources, who said ‘This one had some sauce to it, put this out.’ It was more [of a] pop sound. I didn’t want to go back to folk, I was like ‘Let me keep it pop.’ The hardest part was the ending, and I think I achieved a good ending. And again, texture [and] ambiance was really big to me. I think it’s some of my best lyrics, the melody is really catchy.
Staff Picks to Satisfy Your Inner Choir and Band Nerd
Whether to help you study or because you’re actually a choir/band nerd, orchestral and choral music are a staple. Personally, I’ve been singing in choirs since middle school, discovering many fantastic pieces throughout my years.
Even though it’s not your typical pop music, orchestral and choral music still has the ability to reach souls and spark memories. I’ve often found myself in my deepest reflection when I’m listening to pieces like these.
So, three Vinyl Mag staff have each chosen songs to add to your orchestral and choral playlists, hoping they satisfy that inner band and choir nerd we know lives in each and every one of you. Check it out below.
Staff Picks for Your Perfect Granola Playlist
With the weather warming and summer swiftly on the way, it’s about time to break out your favorite “Life is Good” T-shirt again. The chacos make a reappearance, and driving with the windows down is back “in.” The only thing missing — the perfect granola playlist to transport you away from Athens, Georgia, and into the Colorado mountains instead.
The “granola girl aesthetic” has been something I’ve long aspired to have. The carefree and folky vibes that radiate off every granola person ease my type-A persona. I like to imagine myself in the woods with the sun on my face and growing my chaco tan line.
With that spirit in mind, three of our Vinyl Mag staff have each chosen songs for your perfect granola playlist this spring and summer. Some are perfect for driving and others would be ideal for a night campfire. Check it out below.
‘It’s Only Life After All’: The Legacy of the Queer Folk Women Duo, Indigo Girls
With four decades behind them, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, the women behind the Indigo Girls, are in the midst of a victory lap. Despite a loyal fanbase, evocative songwriting, and artistic consistency, mainstream success and popularity evaded the Girls. As openly queer musicians since the 90s, the duo was stunted by misogyny and homophobia for most of their careers but widely embraced by the LGBT+ community since their early days. Now, with a resurgence in interest for their folk-rock songs following a prominent feature in the Barbie movie, and a documentary directed by Alexandria Bombach, the Indigo Girls are being recognized as the trailblazers and community beacons they were.
Their documentary, It’s Only Life After All, premiered at the Sundance and the Tribeca Film Festivals in 2023. This month, it’s finally hitting movie theaters at select locations on April 10, with early screenings in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
Its first two theatrical showings took place on March 29 at the Tara Theatre to a crowd of eager fans who’ve supported the Girls for decades, the young adults and teens those fans raised, and Salier’s and Ray’s family and friends. After the showings, the duo and the director were present to answer questions from the crowd, followed by acoustic performances of “Shame on You” and “Closer to Fine” (AKA “the Barbie song” as Ray called it)
Bombach, who met the duo through a mutual friend in 2017, became interested in making the Indigo Girls documentary after a quick Google search revealed there currently wasn’t any. During the Q&A, Saliers and Ray gushed about already being big fans of her work, which made it easy for them to get on board with the project. The result was a film that left moviegoers laughing and sniffling interchangeably for two hours.
Except for brief clips featuring fans and family members, Bombach largely allows the Indigo Girls to speak for themselves through the two-hour documentary. The movie is interspersed with old interview footage and decades of private cassettes that Ray recorded. With the addition of the newly recorded footage, Bombach shared that she combed through a whopping 1,000 hours to make the film.
With the help of Bombach’s directorial hand, Saliers and Ray radiate an authenticity uncommon in most rockumentaries.
With the wisdom that hindsight brings, Saliers and Ray speak candidly about their early experiences, able to understand their younger selves with a loving, delicate, and brutally honest perspective, while gracefully exploring their shortcomings.
As in everything else they do, the documentary centers the women’s activism and political involvement. Saliers and Ray were always more interested in the palpable community their music formed than celebrity status. At one point in the film, Saliers says, “It was always about community—the feeling you get in a room with people you are singing to.”
In the documentary, we watch them contend with the naivety of their earlier social activism. They mature from slogans like “save the earth” and “recycle” to more nuanced ecological perspectives embodied by Native Americans. Their dedication grows but they take up space only to support the voices of others. A little later in the film, when the Indigo Girls are at a rally for Black Lives Matter, the speaker introduces them saying “They weren’t even here to sing. They only wanted to support and since we know who they are we want them to sing.”
There’s an almost comical aspect to how different they are and yet, their differences complement each other well and the admiration they hold for one another is evident.
Saliers, raised on folk, is often featured wearing brighter colors. Ray, raised on punk and alt-rock, gravitates to darker tones and grungier outfits. More notably, they have striking differences in personality. Ray, trailing a year behind Saliers, looks up to Salier’s diplomacy. Ray says of herself, “I was always so angry. It wasn’t healthy.”
Saliers, the more reserved of the two, initially avoided coming out publicly as a lesbian. While Ray at one point in the film says, “I’ve never been in the closet.” Over the years, they’ve spoken candidly about the impact internalized homophobia has had on their self-esteem. They reflect on the jokes made at their expense and spaces they’ve been excluded from as Bombach shares with us pieces from the past.
The documentary is personal and intimate, but somehow the story feels so much bigger. With the help of Bombach’s directorial hand, Saliers and Ray radiate an authenticity uncommon in most rockumentaries. On the screen, fans give sincere odes to the band that quite literally saved their lives, and the theater audience whoops and cheers in recognition. Others shout back “They saved my life too.”
Bombach’s insightful touch, the sincerity and introspection of the Indigo Girls, and the community surrounding their music set this rockumentary apart from others. The Indigo Girls are a beacon. Rather than the cult of celebrity, the air surrounding them is decidedly different. The space feels uniquely democratic. This is a documentary you don’t want to miss the chance to see in theaters.
Score Soundtracks For Your Whimsical Fiction Movie Life
We all need a whimsical fictional world to escape to now and then. There’s How to Train Your Dragon to make you feel like you’re soaring, and Tangled to get you up off your feet. UP is a real tear-jerker, but Monsters Inc. is a real toe-tapper—all this to say that score soundtracks are a seamless way to transport us into those fictional worlds we crave.
As I’m reminiscing on my time spent in Copenhagen, Denmark, this past summer, I’ve listened to a lot of fairytale scores. Copenhagen was magical—the weather, the air, the scenery, the almond croissants, the parks, the people—I could go on. I was exploring the city on a bicycle when I stopped to take this quick photo shown above. That moment didn’t feel real.
Then again, nothing about travel feels quite real. As soon as I felt the plane take off, a supernatural buzz consumed me. Even though I’d only flown on a plane once before trekking to Denmark, I still knew I had to have a playlist ready for takeoff. The perfect song for being hurled hundreds of feet into the atmosphere: “Test Drive” from the How to Train Your Dragon score.
Here is a playlist of the best scores to be in your fiction movie moments—times like when I biked around Copenhagen and wondered upon the most perfect scenery.
Meet The Next Generation of Athens, GA Music Scene
Boasting R.E.M., the B-52’s, and the Drive-By Truckers, it’s no secret that the Athens, GA music scene has a rich history. The Music Business Program housed within the University of Georgia—just steps from downtown Athens—is continuing this tradition, now raising much of the next generation of this local scene.
“We try to take people from a standpoint from ‘Who am I?’ to ‘Who I am,'” said David Barbe, director of the program and successful musician in his own right. Much of this development culminates in the final project of the program, a music business microcosm in which each student assumes a role in music business such as artist manager or publicist.
Many students choose to take on the role of artist, and thus are required to release music—with cover art—and promote the release. This year’s projects paint a hopeful picture for the already well-established Athens scene, with 17 new releases from local bands and artists.
“So far, I would think that it’s arguably the best ones we’ve ever had. There are more of them, they are more varied in style, and the quality of the real standouts is really a level up. It’s been the most musically diverse,” said Barbe. “We expect rock bands and we expect rappers, but we’ve got Annie Leeth‘s tripped out electric violin project, we have Eric Dowler‘s album of World War I era songs, and there’s satirical rap… It’s been all over the map, which is great.”
Some of these artists, just weeks after release, are already clocking over a thousand streams and seeing revenue from downloads—an impressive feat for what started as a class project. Check out the following up-and-coming artists from the Athens scene:
Conner Brooke Dryden has the vocal chops to fit in the current country music scene without having to succumb to the over-produced country pop plague that seems to be overtaking the genre. Her single “Something Beautiful” is straightforward in instrumentation and honestly doesn’t need much else—Dryden’s clean vocals are the star of the show, as they should be. Check out the single on all major streaming platforms.
Logan Brammer’s “November Night” is a nice, nostalgic track. It’s kind of calming and seems to have some Beatles influence thrown in there. I will say, this is the only track that totally got stuck in my head for like, hours after that first listen—the chorus is that catchy. Definitely didn’t mind. You can find “November Night” on bandcamp.
If you’re not the electronic-instrumental-meditation-music type, Annie Leeth’s new EP “Heard” might just convert you. It’s super ambient and vibe-y, but what really shines is that Leeth seems to seriously know what she’s doing with a violin—both technically skilled and able to get the instrument to make sounds that I’d guess many haven’t heard it make before. This isn’t run of the mill, classical studying music… it’s a whole new beast. You can find “Heard” on the major streaming platforms.
Property of Bolton have taken the classic rock band setup and done it well, with a darker sound that’s simultaneously groovy and gritty. The group’s EP, “Epicycles,” is so well done that it’s hard to believe this was done for a school project. The separate pieces of each track flow so cohesively that everything feels intentional—like the group has a solid grasp on what they’re going for and are not afraid to go for it. Check out “No Faith,” not just for the ripping lead guitar but also the line “I ain’t got no faith in the government” because, relatable. Check out the EP on bandcamp.
Josie Smith’s “June” is short and sweet. Her vocals are sweet, the premise is sweet—and it shines in this simplicity. The track is a good example of how music doesn’t have to be so heart-wrenching, so complicated to still be great. The release seems to be just a taste of what’s to come from Josie, and you can check it out on bandcamp.
Eric Dowler’s “When The Boys Come Home” is cool in that it’s hard to find anyone else, let alone a 20-something student, doing this right now. It’s clear that Dowler is dedicated to his craft as well as doing his historical subject justice. The album definitely gives an interesting insight into World War I, giving a musical perspective that one might not get from a casual education in the subject. You can find “When The Boys Come Home” on bandcamp.
Darsana’s latest indie-pop EP “Heartless,” is pretty chill, to put it simply. Definitely recommend checking out the opening track “Callouseer” and the title track “Heartless,” both of which seem like great easy-listening, on say, a lazy weekend afternoon or something along those lines. You can find “Heartless” on bandcamp.
Guest House’s latest release, “Sleep,” is intriguing. It’s not quite something to study to, because it definitely draws you in and makes you want to listen, but it would fit in well in a coffee shop setting. For some reason this felt super visual—like, listening to it actually triggered my brain to put together a full indie-movie montage. Some music just does that, I guess. Guest house makes you think, in a good way. Check it out on bandcamp.
There is a line between experimental in a cool, enjoyable-to-the-ear way and experimental just for the sake of being weird, and Sephine has found the balance. “Computerforest,” Sephine’s latest release, sounds like the kind of music your cool (but not snooty) indie acquaintance would casually throw on, spurring you to spend weeks trying to figure out how to ask who the band is without sounding lame and uncultured. The release is almost ethereal at times, until that funky sax kicks in or Anderson starts chanting. A personal favorite would be “Discothèque,” because the track is just kind of funky and definitely unexpected. You can find Sephine on bandcamp.
Rebekah Martin’s piano track “Tightrope” makes for great study music in that it has a nice melody that’s not too overpowering. There’s this near-constant buzzing, which seems intentional but regardless of if not, the juxtaposition between that and the piano totally works—the roughness of the buzzing keeps the piano from being too buttoned-up. Again, being just one single, this seems to be just a taste of what’s to come from Martin. You can find the track on her bandcamp.
Whether you’re a fan of “Xanax Culture” or seriously annoyed by it, you need Xanny P in your listening lineup. For satirical rap, it’s surprisingly well produced and the character that is “Xanny P” is hilarious (and cultured, apparently. Check out his ‘gram if you don’t believe me.) The guy is already packing out the Georgia Theatre rooftop and spreading like crazy via word of mouth. Plus, it’s #Dartyszn, ya’ll—never a better time to check him out on all major streaming platforms.
Punk rock fans, PNK is for you. I’d say he falls in more of an early Green Day vein than say, Blink, in a rip-roaring, high speed—and never slowing down—kind of way. His latest single, “Sitting on the Bathroom Floor” is gritty, high-energy, loud and a fun listen from the first note. (Also a fun fact—PNK’s Tyler Peters played a part in the production of quite a few of these releases. Three cheers for having multiple skills!) You can find PNK on all major streaming platforms.
Elrod’s self-titled EP has definite outlaw themes throughout, with an interesting mix of generally acoustic instrumentation and her almost-bluesy vocals. It’s cool in an imperfect, rock ‘n’ roll kind of way. All of the separate pieces are great, but there are definite shining points in her harmonies and the lead guitar. For some reason, I immediately thought of Cheyanne Kimball’s solo album while listening to this, but haven’t quite figured out why yet. Anyway, check Elrod’s self-titled, currently out on Soundcloud.
Friday Highway’s latest release “I Told You/Rearview” gives major early 2000s singer-songwriter throwback vibes… but at the same time, it’s also the teeny-tiniest bit reminiscent of popular Red Hot Chili Peppers hits. Anyway, it’s interesting, and definitely in a good way. I’d recommend checking out “Rearview,” as it’s well done and the bridge takes an unexpected twist that keeps you on your toes. You can find Friday Highway on most major streaming platforms.
Kaitlin Kimsey, Jake Mappes and Jesse Inglima
This trio released a killer studio series covering Elton John and Guns N’ Roses. Each of the three musicians involved are seriously talented, so it makes sense that putting them together would yield a couple of great tracks. Kimsey’s rocker belt pairs perfectly with Mappes’ keys, making me wish the group had a couple of originals to check out. You can find the studio series on Kimsey’s Youtube and Soundcloud, or check out all three musicians in local Athens band Fake Mister.
Alright, so Garet Skipper’s latest release “Lies!” does not sound like it was made by some college student for a school project. This is well done. The track almost falls in a dream-pop vein, but not in an over-hazy bad way. It’s upbeat, fun, and so perfect for summer nights. For fans of, say, LANY, this is a definite recommend—actually, this sounds on par with some of the music the aforementioned group was putting out when it first started successfully touring the country, so there’s that. It’s so… marketable. Check him out on all major streaming platforms.
Lapetz’s latest single, “Time Lines,” is super simple and straightforward in composition, but it works. The narrative he’s rapping is interesting, it flows well and the refrain is catchy—Lapetz doesn’t really need a bunch of bells and whistles to make the track interesting. In a landscape where over-produced, dolled-up tracks seem to reign supreme, this release is refreshing. To listen to the single, or his EP “Early Works,” find Lapetz on bandcamp.
A Proper Goodbye: Breaking Bad series finale ‘Felina’
It’s over. Finished. No more Heisenberg. No more Jesse. No more science…bitch.
Before we start, just be warned that I’m going to be using the words “genius” and “perfect” a lot in this article.
Breaking Bad has earned its place at the very top of the list of my (and millions of others’) favorite shows of all time. So I was more than a little sorry to see it go (what am I going to do on Sunday nights now? Watch Low Winter Sun? Doubtful). However, I am so grateful to Vince Gilligan for playing it smart, not dragging it out for three seasons too long just to keep getting paid, and achieving something that so few of my favorite shows have pulled off (*cough* LOST *cough*) – a perfect ending. Really, the only word that I can think of is genius. Gilligan is an absolutely brilliant writer; he tied up every loose end so neatly…it was truly poetic.
Before we go on, let me just go ahead and warn you – SPOILER ALERT – although, if you haven’t already watched “Felina” or at least heard about it, I’m not sure if you know what the Internet is, so you’re probably not reading this article.
Here are the main parts of the finale that I want to talk about. I’m going to assume that you have seen all of the seasons and not overly explain the back story.
1. Walt having Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz act as benefactors for Walter, Jr./Flynn/whatever he’s calling himself these days was absolutely perfect. In the very first season of Breaking Bad – episode 5 “Gray Matter” – Walt refuses the Schwartzes’ proposition to pay for his cancer treatment. Walt is completely offended by their offer, continuously bitter about their success from Gray Matter and too prideful to accept their charity. I mean, he would rather cook meth than receive anything from these people.
Throughout the seasons, this is a continuing theme. Walt’s never-ending resentment of the Schwartzes’ fortune becomes his pace car, and he continues to measure his own success by how close he is to building an empire that competes financially with theirs.
In addition to his inability to accept charity is his arrogant need to get credit for earning this money for his family, which makes money laundering pretty tough. He refuses Saul Goodman’s advice to just filter his money through Walt, Jr.’s donation website, SaveWalterWhite.com, unable to accept the credit for their income going to an “anonymous donor.”
In the end, however, the story comes full circle. Walt goes to Gretchen (who is wearing a fabulous jacket) and Elliott’s house and forces them to take what is left of his money (a mere nine million dollars…chump change) and donate it in the form of a trust to Walter, Jr. on his 18th birthday, knowing that any other way he tried to get it to his family would result in it being confiscated by the government.
So, basically, after all of the five seasons worth of corruption and destruction and death that Walt was willing to cause in order to keep his ego and pride in tact, Gretchen and Elliott still get credit for saving the White family out of charity. Which means that this was pretty much all for nothing. Well played, Gilligan…well played.
2. I was super pumped to get to see Badger and Skinny Pete one last time. I love those dudes. And I totally called the whole laser pointer thing…just saying.
3. Walt’s goodbye to Skyler made me tear up. When Walt came back to say “a proper goodbye” to Skyler and finally admit to her that all that he did was not, in fact, for his family as he had claimed for so long but was, in fact, for him…dude, that was so raw. Skyler finally hears the truth from him, and we see a glimpse of the old Walter White.
4. The way Walt died was brilliant. He had to die…he just had to. For a few seasons now, I have rooted for Jesse to be the one to kill Walt in the end. But when it finally came down to it, I’m glad he didn’t kill Walt in some final face-off where Walt was still fighting. This end was much more real and heartbreaking. It was perfect and fitting that Walt’s final act took him out. He got himself in that room as Heisenberg, and he took himself out along with all of the other scumbags in there. Everyone in that room deserved to die except for Jesse, and he got them all…including himself (except for Todd. Todd was a truly despicable character, and Jesse deserved the satisfaction of taking him out). Jesse is free, and he drives off…into the sunset? To go find and raise Brock? We don’t know, but we do know that he’s going to be okay.
5. Walt shooting Jack mid-sentence when he is trying to offer Walt his money back was, again, brilliant. Heisenberg is dead, and along with him, his greed. It’s not about that money anymore. Jack is just too stupid to realize it.
6. Lydia had to drink that ricin. I hated Lydia. From her shakiness to her ruthlessness to her stupid camomile and stevia habit. I hated her. That woman needed to go. I’m so happy that she’s the one who got the ricin and that it was in her tea -that was just elegant. Maybe that will teach you to use regular sugar like a normal person, Lydia. Oh wait, you can’t – you’re dead.
The finale of Breaking Bad was badass, yes. But it was also heartbreaking. The entire series is honestly heartbreaking. Witnessing the continuous corruption and destruction of a man who was at one point decent and then seeing him get what is coming to him takes a toll. It is less satisfying to see Walt reduced to nothing – having lost his family and everything he ever cared about – than expected, as you have been rooting for his comeuppance for so long. You are reminded that he is a flesh and blood human being, not just some raving monster that you love to hate. Bryan Cranston’s genius and pure talent really come through here, making the viewer surprisingly sympathetic to Walt, even with all that we know about him. But still, you know that Walt has to die.
All in all, “Felina” was a perfect ending to a brilliant show. Now excuse me while I go rewatch all of the seasons on Netflix.
