We are excited to share that our team is growing once again with the very welcome addition of Tara Maggiulli. Tara brings a fresh perspective and unbridled passion for music to the Albumism team, and we could not be more thrilled to introduce her to our community of music lovers. “I love writing and I love music, so contributing content to Albumism is the best of both worlds for me,” Tara explains. “I love learning about the history behind the music I’m listening to, whether it’s from decades before I was born or freshly-released material, and the deeper understanding I get from that allows me to appreciate that song or that album so much more than I had before.”

We encourage the Albumism community to stay tuned for much more from Tara, and in the meantime, check out her debut feature article in conjunction with the recent 10th anniversary of Radiohead’s In Rainbows, as well as her reviews of Kele Okereke’s Fatherland and Echosmith’s Inside a Dream EP.
