The Music Box, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a subscription service that sends music and fun gifts to your front door for only $10 a box. They hand pick emerging artists (keeping in mind your favorite genres) and send you new music every month. Additional items that may be included in your Music Box are CD’s, posters, stickers, wristbands, t-shirts, and much more!
The Music Box ships via USPS and ships at the beginning of the month.
I have my profile set to B’s taste in music, but I usually end up liking the stuff we get too. Some of it I wouldn’t go out and see in person or anything, but I like it.
The November 2014 The Music Box contained the following items:
~Ocean & Sky by Jane Marczewski: Hmm. I had high hopes for this at the beginning, but I decided it just wasn’t for me. I thought it was more folk’ish than Indie, but I also listen to Taylor Swift and One Direction, so I am likely not the right person to categorize music.
~Planes on Paper Download: This one was a little slower than I usually go for, but not a bad song. It made me a little sad, but that’s okay.
~Break Out Day Wristband: L always takes the wristbands we get in subscription boxes. Not sure what he does with them, but he likes them.
~Old Fashioned Love by Dan Wolf CD: Not my favorite CD ever to come in a Music Box, but I don’t dislike it! I like to sing along to songs (while pretending I actually know all of the words) and this month’s batch of cd’s didn’t seem sing-a-long able. But I know not everyone wants to do that (B certainly doesn’t), so I get it.
~Do & Hope The Lauren Anderson Project: She for sure (for sure) has a great voice, but the music itself wasn’t my thing.
~The Lively by LVNA: This CD was my favorite of the bunch! It was a little moody (that’s how they describe their music too), but I liked it. It seemed louder and more catchy than the others.
~Bonus Items: Every box also comes with an assortment of bonus items. Stickers, candy, magnets, buttons, etc. You never know what you’ll get and it’s just a fun little treat!
I never do a cost breakdown on this box, but for $10/month I think it’s an awesome way to find some new music you may never have known about before. Some of it you’ll love and some of it you may not, but it’s always fun to hear new stuff!
