For Writers Who Dare & Stories That Matter
Welcome to Mood Ring Radio, where music isn’t just a mirror—it’s a guide through life’s most tangled emotions. Each month, Gen Z’s Reilly and Millennial Tricia join forces to curate playlists that explore the messy, often contradictory feelings we all experience—because emotions are never one-note. They shift, pulse, and glow like a mood ring.
2025 was a year of emotional whiplash. From protest rap to hyperpop and indie reflection, two writers share the songs that carried them through chaos, grief, release, and survival during a year that refused to slow down.
This month’s Mood Ring Radio leans into the cozy, cathartic, and quietly defiant tracks that help you survive seasonal depression with a little more softness and a little more fire. From Florence Welch’s scream therapy to MARINA’s glittery reclamation anthem, consider this your winter emotional support playlist.
This month’s playlist leans into that back-to-school energy—the excitement, the nerves, and the bittersweet feeling that nothing will ever be quite the same. Curated by Tricia Chérie and Reilly Marie, Class of Forever blends songs about change, nostalgia, and the friendships that shape us, pulling from every era to soundtrack the messy, magical process of growing up.
From Boyle Heights to the Bronx, “Mood Ring Radio: East L.A. x Nueva Yol” curates the protest anthems of our time. Blending Chicano pride, global diaspora stories, and razor-sharp commentary on ICE, borders, and belonging, these 10 tracks remind us that music doesn’t just reflect resistance—it is resistance.
