5 Upcoming Albums To Give A Listen
The Music Universe

With the halfway point of the year upon us, we have seen a fair share of projects by big name artists. These include albums by Drake, Kanye West, Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande.

The second half of the year may not bring the same level of names, but that does not make these albums any less exciting.

(Note: These are not in any ranking, they are just five albums.)

5. Blink-182- "California" (July 1)

This wildly popular band is back and many people are excited. On the opposite side, there are the fans of the band that are upset that Tom DeLonge is no longer a part of the band. Whether the fans like it or not, there are going to be decent sales drummed up by this album.

4. MAGIC!- "Primary Colours" (July 1)

The band that brought you hits like "Rude" and "No Way No" are back with their sophomore release. They still pack that reggae/island feel that they are known for and even have a feature with Sean Paul on the upcoming album. This album will be a wonderful addition to any beach parties or chill times you are looking to have.

3. Good Charlotte- "Youth Authority" (July 15)

Another blast from the past band is back. They have brought a little bit more of a pop feel, but have not forgotten to bring that punk attitude. They have currently released four songs from the upcoming project, and are receiving four and a half star reviews on those so far. Take that for what it is worth!

2. Relient K- "Air For Free" (July 22)

This band picked up a decent following when they released the album "MMHMM" in 2004, since then, they kind of faded away. This may not end up being all that big of an album, but it will be worth a listen. It is unclear where exactly this album will go. It could either be a contemporary piece like their recent albums, or could go to a light side like their older works. Song titles include, "Mrs. Hippopotamuses," "Cat," "Man" and "Elephant Parade."

1. Skillet- "Unleashed" (August 5)

Skillet is finally coming out with an album! It is their first one since "Rise" in 2013. "Rise" ended up having a little softer feel than prior Skillet albums, but the song "Feel Invincible" from the new album is back to the hard rock style they were known for. Some of the other song titles seem to hint that a heavy sounding album is in store. Panheads unite!


Remember, this list is not in any ranking! It is just a list by release time.

(Side Note- For those of you with more of a taste for country music, Florida Georgia Line also is supposed to be releasing an album, but no date is yet set.)

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

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
