Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Provide a description of the artist and their history. Describe the meaning and mood of the album. Include emotive words and lyrical details. Write about what the band is doing next. End with a recap.

Answer: Use your outline and the facts you gathered during your research. This is a great place to mention their previous work, if any, and whether any events influenced the album. For example: “Originally formed in Denver, Colorado, The Pipe Cleaners feature William Uling on vocals, Sarah Uling on guitar, Matt Stein on bass, and Dirk Golding on drums. The Pipe Cleaners went through several drummers before settling on Golding and starting work on their first studio album. Before it was finished, legendary rock producer Brandon Wicks caught a live performance and signed the band to his label, Candle Wicks. He and Nick Paul share executive producer credits. During recording, William and Sarah Uling lost their mother, Patty Uling to cancer.” Look for emotional themes, such as empowerment, freedom, and loss. The mood can be discerned from the lyrics and melodies, and how they make you feel upon listening.  For example: “The frequent references to death, specifically in the songs “You’re Still Gone” and “When I Close My Eyes” set a dark, but hopeful mood on this ambitious debut album. In the piercing ballad, “I Could Have Been,” the major themes of the album all come together, which seem to be death, rebirth, and regret.” Try your best to describe the instruments, the melodies, and the lyrics by citing specific examples and referencing the actual lyrics in your review. For example: “The lyrics, “This is painful, it’s so shameful, how much I don’t want to care,” from the song, “Give it Up,” shed light on the struggle to deal with Patty’s death. The haunting guitar riffs on, “So This Means Nothing,” and the harmony between lead vocalist and backup vocalist Matt Stein on, “Say You Will,” were surprising and moving.” If the album you are reviewing is from a band or artist that is still active, talk about their future plans. If they’re going to go on tour, tell your readers when.  For example: “The Pipe Cleaners will be going on a U.S. tour with Melvin and the Marauders starting September 25th, 2017. Seattle, Portland, Austin, Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and Miami are included in the 23 stops. After the tour finishes on October 31st in Los Angeles, the band will be collaborating with Brandon Wicks and Shawn Snyder on their next album, which will have a decidedly different feel. According to Nick Golding, we can even expect some country flair.” Concisely summarize the more important points in your review. Touch on how the album made you feel, and whether it was worth listening to and why.  For example: “After everything they’ve been through over the last two years, The Pipe Cleaners let it all hang out on this raucous, up-tempo, and totally fresh LP. The ballads set a high note for vocals, the guitar riffs and solos were unplayable for the average musician and therefore incredible and complex, and the lyrics shine across every song. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them perform this fall on their tour and to hearing what they do with their next album.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply a light shadow. Line the top lash line. Dab the eyeliner with a pencil liner.

Answer:
Before you add any gloss, you can create a beautiful effect by first applying a soft, shimmery glow to your lids. Anything with soft sheen looks wonderful, such as a pearl-colored shadow or highlight. You can apply it softly with a shadow brush, or simply dab a bit on with your fingertips. While any kind of shadow works, a liquid, gel, or cream shadow will give your eyes a wetter, glossier look. A black liquid liner is perfect for this. By using liquid eyeliner, you can create a thin, precise line that will define your lashes. It’s important to keep this line thin and as close to your lashes as possible, so that you reduce potential smudging once you add the gloss. If you want, you can certainly add a wing. This is the only stark, precise line you’ll create. You want to line your eye simply to emphasize your lashes and make them look fuller and darker. You’ll be covering this line later, though, so it’s okay if it’s not perfect. It’s simply the foundation. Once you’ve created that original precise line, you can loosen up. Now, your makeup application will be a bit messier and more sultry. Using a kohl pencil, go back over the liquid eyeliner. You don’t need to create a perfect line – in fact, you don’t want to. The kohl pencil will be smudged and blended with the gloss, so just dab it along your lash line however you want. Once you add the gloss, you can always go back in and add more eyeliner as you see fit.
