5 Low Key Artists To Listen To This Summer

Music junkies everywhere know what it's like to be in what I refer to as a "music rut" — essentially a drought of new music. You just keep listening to the same old stuff, and it gets exhausting. So, in case you're at that frustrating point in your life, look no further. Here are a few artists that are super under-appreciated and will get your summer vibes going in the right direction.

1. Coleman Hell

I heard Coleman Hell on the radio with his most famous song "2 Heads." I was instantly captured from the very first line of the song, prompting me to add it to every playlist I had. I was lucky enough to catch him at a music festival in South Florida, where I fell in love with the rest of his songs. My friends and I played his EP all the way back home. His music is a splice of indie, folk and electronica - which is definitely something unique. Coleman Hell's songs radiate positivity and you'll find yourself fighting not to groove to his music. Here's my favorite song of his — "Sitcom."


2. Bad Suns

These guys are perfect to listen to if you're laying out by the pool or going to the beach. The lead singer has such a distinctive voice, which makes the band sound different than anyone else you've heard. Their style is chill indie rock and almost all of their songs are upbeat. I love absolutely all of their songs, but the one I'll recommend is the one that got me hooked on Bad Suns — "Salt."

Too bad these guys only have one album, am I right?

3. William Beckett

You might recognize William Beckett from his previous band, The Academy Is... His solo project is a little less angsty, but still has an indie/alternative sound. It's a more mature direction for William Beckett to go in, and it pays off. While he has some slow, heartfelt ballads, songs like "Compromising Me," "Oh, Love!" and "Hanging On A Honeymoon" are catchy and uplifting. My personal favorite, however, is "Benny & Joon."


4. Bleachers

Bleachers has those kind of songs that you can get obsessed with easily. They have a pop feel to them while demonstrating some serious songwriting skills. The voice of lead singer Jack Antonoff is deep and mysterious - you kind of can't stop listening. It's hard picking my favorite from these guys, but my original favorite was "Rollercoaster." They also have a lot of great remixes on Spotify if that's your thing.


5. BØRNS

I'd like to thank Spotify for introducing me to this one from the Discover Weekly playlist. I heard a little song called "Dug My Heart" and was captivated by the lyrics. This is a constant in all of BØRNS' songs. His music is slower, but it has so much heart. Not to mention, this guy is extremely talented - his live versions of songs might sound even better than they do recorded. Here's my favorite one below, "The Emotion."

I hope that these amazing artists pull you right out of the music rut and get you in the summer mood.

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.

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.

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.
