5 Must-Have Country Albums Coming In 2018

For everyone desperately in need of some new country music, 2018 has a lot to look forward to. While there is reason to believe that some big artists like Carrie Underwood (last album released in 2015), Keith Urban (last album released in 2016), Florida Georgia Line (last album released in 2016), and Sam Hunt (last album released in 2014) will be releasing new music this year, nothing is guaranteed yet. However, there are quite a few great albums to look forward to this year, including one from Dierks Bentley. Here are five albums coming out in 2018.

1. "Hallelujah Nights" by LANCO

Best known for their recent hit, "Greatest Love Story," this will be LANCO's debut album in the country world. After the success of their EP, however, there's no doubt this album will be a hit.

2. "The Mountain" by Dierks Bentley

Dierks Bentley is a country legend, with hit songs on the charts for over 10 years. His most recent release, "Woman, Amen," is already climbing the country charts and is getting fans super excited for this upcoming album. Bentley even preformed last year at Michigan's major country festival, Faster Horses.

3. "Here's to You" by Montgomery Gentry

The Montgomery Gentry suffered a major loss last year when Troy Gentry, half of the duo, was killed unexpectedly in a helicopter crash. The duo was most known for songs such as "Something to be Proud Of" and "My Town." Eddie Montgomery chose to keep the duos name in honor of Troy, and this is the first album he has released since Troy's death. "Here's To You" is in honor of Eddie's singing partner and friend, as he recovers from the loss.

4. "Seasons Change" by Scotty McCreey

Scotty McCreery was discovered after winning the tenth season of "American Idol." He has released three albums before his upcoming album, with major hits on the charts such as "The Trouble With Girls" and "I Love You Big." McCreery's new album is very anticipated after the successful release of the song "Five More Minutes" just last year.

5. "Golden Hour" by Kacey Musgraves

Kacey Musgraves started out by releasing three of her own, self-produced albums. Since then, Musgraves signed with a label and has released two popular albums with them: "Same Trailer Different Park" and "Pageant Material." One of Musgraves' songs, "Follow Your Arrow," really helped put her on the map, along with "Merry Go Round." Musgraves' last album was released in 2015, with a Christmas album released in 2016.

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

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.
