11 Up And Coming Artists You Need To Listen To

1. George Ezra.

Though his deep and resonant tone of voice portrays him to be some type of old soul, George Ezra is a 22 year-old, handsome, British, alternative singer who most would compare to great artists such as Ray LaMontagne and Bob Dylan. George Ezra, "Budapest."

2. Milky Chance.

Possibly the only two German guys ever to be able to pull of this reggae, folk, electronic pop genre that was formed just three years ago. Whether you're listening to them in your car or at a house party, you’ll find it hard to resist the urge to dance along to each song. Milky Chance, "Flashed Junk Mind,"

3. MisterWives.

Also formed just three years ago, MisterWives is an upbeat, indie rock band (also amazing live). Some would compare them to bands such as Walk the Moon and Young the Giant. MisterWives, "Our Own House" (Live),

4. X Ambassadors.

From Brooklyn, these guys have more of an acoustic alt-rock sound. I highly suggest watching the full video below, just one of their amazing songs put together in a great video. X Ambassadors, "Renegades."

5. James Bay.

For all the ladies that like a man with a beautiful voice and nice hair, meet your next true love, James Bay. If you enjoy artists like Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard, you won’t be disappointed listening to his newest album. James Bay, "Let It Go."

6. Us the Duo.

This talented, young married couple from Southern California consistently match in beautiful, perfect harmony throughout every song which truly make them stand out amongst the rest. Check out their unique songs with awesome sounds as well as their creative covers! Us The Duo, "No Matter Where You Are. "

7. Houndmouth.

The awesome thing about this band is that all four members not only play an instrument, but are also all vocalists. From New Albany, Ind., a small town right next to Louisville, Ken. Houndmouth is an overall outstanding band with a cool vintage feel. Houndmouth, "Sedona."

8. Tobias Jesso Jr.

Singer/songwriter from Vancouver is a master of heartrending melodies. His new album is perfect to listen to while when you're needing to wind down and have a relaxed evening. Tobias Jesso Jr., "Without You."

9. Raury.

This singer, rapper, guitarist and songwriter has what it takes to pull of this folk, alternative, electronic rap music genre he has created. Most would compare this artist from Georgia to people such as Chance the Rapper and Lorde. Raury, "Cigarette Song."

10. Alabama Shakes.

This alternative quartet that has been compared to amazing bands such as The Black Keys and The Avett Brothers was formed in 2009, but their recent album released in 2015 has really set them off to a new level. Alabama Shakes, "Hold On."

11. The Districts.

Last, but certainly not least, The Districts are also a four person band formed in 2009. From a small town in Pennsylvania, this indie-rock band has a truly captivating sound that is hard to stop listening to. The Districts, "Funeral Beds."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
