Music is such an important aspect of my life. I'm constantly walking around with my earbuds in and looking for new music to listen to and share with other people (Hence the number of playlists on my phone). I love discovering new artists so, I decided to compile a list of five of my favorite songs to date and why. Be sure to check these artists and their songs out!

1. NAO - "We Don't Give A"

This song literally gets me dancing anywhere and everywhere. It doesn't matter where I am. I am most likely going to start dancing because this song is everything. NAO's voice is so smooth and the way that her vocals and the beat of the song mesh is incredible.

2. Chloe x Halle - "Happy Without Me" (feat. Joey Bada$$)

Chloe and Halle's voices are so angelic. I believe if I could describe what angels sounded like, they would be Chloe and Halle's voices. This song is so relatable and is uplifting despite the message of the song. Overall, this song is one of my favorites from their new album that just released last month titled: "The Kids Are Alright".

3. Hayley Kiyoko - "What I need" (feat. Kehlani)

This song is incredibly infectious. The beat along with Hayley and Kehlani's vocals is everything. This song is from Hayley's newly released album titled: "Expectations" that speaks to many of her fans who feel underrepresented as far as relationships between women.

4. Jhenè Aiko - "Ascension" (feat. Brandy)

This song is so calming. I like to listen to this song whenever I'm riding in the car on a long road trip or just before bed. In the song, she asks a lot of questions such as: "What do you do it for? What are you running toward? Who do you do it for?" This song, in many ways, has helped me to remember that things will get better if I'm going through a tough time.

5. Chloe x Halle - "Everywhere"

Is it possible to mention two Chloe x Halle songs? Their album is just that good. The best way that I can describe this song is that it's exhilarating and the beat immediately gets me hype. The song itself is about attracting wealth and manifesting that it will happen. Personally, I love this song and the message is so relatable.

AI music threatens 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

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.
