I'm surprised at myself for not making this list sooner, but I keep finding so many new songs that I figured it would be worth the wait. Some of these songs will be iconic classics while others may have you finding a new tune to fill your eardrums.

1. Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monae feat. Erykah Badu

2. I'm Not Your Toy by La Roux

3. 6 Inch by Beyoncé

I really tried to limit myself to only one Beyoncé song for this list, but that is so hard because she is the undisputed queen of female empowerment. Everybody knows If I Were a Boy and Who Run the World (girls), and Flawless so I decided to include an underrated song from Lemonade.

4. Doubt by Mary J. Bilge

5. New Rules by Dua Lipa


6. All Men Are Pigs by Studio Killers


7. Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child


8. Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

9. U.N.I.T.Y. by Queen Latifah


10. Free Your Mind by En Vogue


11. Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams by Camp Cope


12. Woman by Kesha


13. Hot Topic by Le Tigre


14. Excuse Me by BESTie


15. Proud by Tegan and Sara


16. Fxxk Boyz Get Money by FEMM


17. Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj


18. Salute by Little Mix


19. Slut Like You by P!nk


20. Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson


21. No Scrubs by TLC


I mean, come on. How could I not have added this?

22. How Far I'll Go by Auli'i Cravalho


23. Born This Way by Lady Gaga


24. Hush Hush by the Pussycat Dolls


25. Kill the Sexist by Pussy Riot


26. GREEN TEA by Awkwafina feat. Margaret Cho


27. Acapella by Karmin

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.

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.
