20 Songs For The Summer
The Imaginative Conservative

I'm sharing 20 of the songs that I've had on repeat pretty much all summer. Some are more recent, but some are throw backs and will always be my favorites. If something peaks your interest, definitely go check it out (the songs are in no particular order).

1. "NO" by Meghan Trainor

I love this song simply because it's just so catchy and on top of that it pretty much explains what every girl feels like when a guy tries to chase her and she isn't feeling him at all.


2. "Dope" by Fifth Harmony

I just came across this song while watching YouTuber, Andrea Russett's, snap story. Once I heard the whole song, I've been obsessed ever since.


3. "Say It" (featuring Tove Lo) by Flume

I've recently become a fan of Flume, and this song is one of my favorites from their album, "Skin."


4. "Nothing Is Promised" by Rihanna


This song is great if you're looking for a song with a good beat. It is quite repetitive, but I still can't stop listening to the song.


5. "Hold Up" by Beyoncé

I have probably overplayed the "Lemonade" album, but this is my favorite song from the album so, naturally, I continue to listen to it over and over again.


6. "Touch It" by Ariana Grande

I'm in love with the album, "Dangerous Woman," this is probably my number one favorite song.


7. "One Dance" by Drake

Even though this is probably one of the most overplayed songs on the radio, I still can't help but dance when this song comes on.


8. "Bad Decisions" by Ariana Grande

Another one of my favorites from the "Dangerous Woman" album.


9. "Smoke Break" by Chance the Rapper

I usually don't care for Chance the Rapper, but this album certainly changed my mind, and I have a new appreciation for him. This is my favorite song from the album, "Coloring Book."

10. "Don't Hurt Yourself" by Beyoncé

I can't help myself, I seriously loved this album.

11. "Make Me" by Britney Spears

Britney Spears making a new song is probably the most exciting thing ever. The fact that someone I was obsessed with listening to when I was younger is still making music is amazing.

12. "Home" by Sebastian Kole

I love this man's voice. I don't think he is very well known, but I'm glad I was discovered Sebastian Kole.

13. "For Free" by DJ Khaled (featuring Drake)

This song is the new summer anthem. With a great beat, Drake, and of course the major key, DJ Khaled, this song is a hit.

14. "Needed Me" by Rihanna

This song is another one of those overplayed songs on the radio. I actually loved this song back when "ANTi" first came out, but I'm still not over it!

15. "Never Be Like You" (featuring Kai) by Flume

This song has become popular on the radio, and I found this song a while ago on SoundCloud, and feel in love.

16. "Nobody Love" by Tori Kelly

I love love love Tori Kelly. Her voice is amazingly powerful, and melodic, I just can't get enough. She is one of my favorite artists to sing along to, and I will always be obsessed with this song.

17. "Rise Up" by Andra Day

Andra Day is another artist that I love to sing along to. Her voice is powerful yet unique.

18. "This is What You Came For" (featuring Rihanna) by Calvin Harris

I've always been a fan of Calvin Harris, and now it's Rihanna and Calvin Harris combined?! I listen to this song almost everyday.

19. "Liquor" by Chris Brown

I definitely do miss the old Chris Brown, back to the times of "Run It" and "Forever," but I can honestly say I have loved this song for a long time.

20. "Sorry" by Beyoncé

And to top the list off, I have yet another Beyoncé song. There's just something about this song that gets me hyped up. It's just such a great song to dance to and not to mention it's fun to sing along to.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
