13 New Country Artists You Need To Hear

I am unashamed to admit I love country music with a passion. I grew up with Brooks and Dunn and Alan Jackson instead of The Backstreet Boys, and I'm happy about that. Country music has a way of tugging your heart strings in ways other genres of music just can't. For everything that's happened to me in my life, there's a country song that applies directly to it. These 13 artists are the perfect new additions to the world of country music, and I hope you love them as much as I do.

1. Luke Combs

I listen to him on repeat constantly, you will be too

"Then you rolled in with your hair in the wind baby without warning"

2. Brett Young

Cue the tears... I highly suggest listening to his hit single "In Case You Didn't Know" as well

"Mercy, why you gotta show up lookin so good just to hurt me"

3. Maren Morris

Maren is a prime example of why 90's babies are the bomb

"I could use a love song"


4. Logan Mize

Find you a man who talks about you the way Logan does

"Life goes on, it ain't always pretty, but you are"

5. Chris Lane

He sang this on the most recent season of The Bachelor, no biggie right? Check out his album Girl Problems, it will not disappoint

"She's head to toe, body and soul, so beautiful, she don't even know"


6. Brooke Eden

Country singer. Whiskey drinker. Overthinker. Brooke's Instagram bio slays just like her voice

"But if you ever loved me, and you still do, I need you to act like you don't"


7. Russell Dickerson

Russell has given us the perfect song for cruising down back roads with your bae on those golden summer nights

"If heaven's anywhere it's right here"

8. Kane Brown & Lauren Alaina

What if I told you this song will make you fall in love with these two the way I did? Check them both out individually as well, you'll be hooked

"What if I was made for you and you were made for me?"

9. Morgan Wallen

He's touring with Florida Georgia Line... so yeah he's kind of a big deal. I can see why because this song is catchy af

"I don't fight it, I just roll with it"

10. Kelsea Ballerini

If you haven't dedicated "Dibs" to that certain someone it's about time you do. "Legends" is Kelsea's most recent gift to fans, and I'm already obsessed

"We were crazy, tragic and epic and so amazing"


11. Jackie Lee

Um, what girl in their right mind would break up with you? If you're going through or went through a breakup listen to this asap

"You're moving on and I can barely move"

12. RaeLyn

This "The Voice" alum walked the streets of Nashville in a unicorn onesie when she reached 100,000 followers on Instagram...I ship it

PS be sure to check out Dan + Shay as well, they're amazing

"You don't have to say that you want me with anything but your eyes"

13. Carly Pearce

After dropping out of high school at 16 to pursue music, Carly finally got her big break with the release of this song and now she's unstoppable

"I remember every little thing"

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. 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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

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.
