4 Artists You Want To Add To Your Playlist
FAVIM.COM

Tired of hearing the same old music on the radio? Is your playlist outdated from 2009? I love discovering new artists and bands that I feel need more recognition from the public. Most of these bands and artists have a special group of listeners, but they are not only for that group. The music they release can appeal to anyone.

1. LANY

LANY is a band from California, with lead singer Paul Klein, drummer Jake Goss, and guitarist Les Priest. The members of LANY aren't just limited to what I listed. They play many roles during their shows creating a unique modern sound. Recently, they had a Snapchat filter with a segment of their new song, you might have played with it and not even known it. Their fanbase is mostly female and the band doesn't view it as a burden or embarrassing, they embrace the women that support their band.

Recommended songs: "ILYSB", "quit", "Made in Hollywood"

2. Kevin Abstract

Kevin Abstract's debut album mtv1897 launched his career from local artist to nationwide tour. In 2016 he opened for The Neighbourhood, then later released his sophomore album American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story. The album touches on topics such as high school, homosexuality and racism.

Recommended songs: "Empty", "Echo", "Papercut"

3. Christian Akridge


Starting on Vine as a way to make people laugh, he was soon picked up by PressPlay. He preformed while on tour meeting fans, recently he left PressPlay to focus on his music career. His covers of "Riptide" by Vance Joy and "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon were the first pieces to be released by him. In 2016 his EP Hope was released giving a taste of his style as an artist. He was also interviewed by Rolling Stone about being a young entertainer.

Following Christian Leave: The Strange Life of a Teen Social Media Celebrity

Recommended songs: "Please Notice", "Hope", "Shadows"

4. Young Rising Sons

Young Rising Sons is a band from New Jersey, as my tie-dye tour shirt says. The band has an acoustic sound with a hint of rock n' roll. Their songs have an overall happy message to them. They have toured with artists such as The 1975 and Halsey sweeping up dedicated fans along the way. The band originally had four members, when in early 2016 Dylan Scott, left the band. This was not a bitter separation, the fans supported him just as much as his fellow band members. The relaunch of Young Rising Sons came late 2016 with "Undefeatable".

Recommended songs: "High", "Carry On", "Turnin'"

These artists and bands have such unique messages to share through their music. There is something in these four for everyone. I hope that they get added into your favorite playlist. They are worth taking the time out of your day and taking a listen to.

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.
