7 Albums to Check Out Right Now

Bored with your typical music selection? Looking for something new to jam out to in the shower? Sick of listening to the same song on repeat because you just don't know what else is out there? This is the place for you. Here are some albums to check out right now:

1. "How to Be a Human Being," Glass Animals.

This album is great if you want to hear some really palpable beats. This is my favorite music to listen to on a Friday night with a candle lit lying on the floor with my eyes closed. Check out "Season 2, Episode 3," and "The Other Side of Paradise."

2. "Like I Used To," Lucy Rose.

I like to listen to this album when I'm studying or journaling. Lucy Rose has a beautiful, mesmerizing voice that is easy to listen to. She writes smart, relatable lyrics that will make you feel some type of way. This is a great album for breakups.

3. "Light Upon the Lake," Whitney.

Lead singer Julien Ehrlich has a winy voice that is hard to adjust to. But the lyrics are so good that I can't stop listening. One of my favorites from the song "No Woman," is "I've been going through a change/I might never be sure/I'm just walking in a haze/I'm not ready to turn."

4. "Back on Top," The Front Bottoms.

Angry? Listen to this album. Happy? Listen to this album. Need life advice? Listen to this album. The lyrics make you feel something real. Brian Sella's crooning voice make you sympathize with him and make you want to be his champion. Check out "Help," "Historic Cemetery," and "The Plan."

5. "Telluric," Matt Corby.

This album is funky and transcendental. The best way to listen to this album is laying down in your bed with your eyes closed in headphones in. It'll take you on a fun journey. My favorites include "Monday" and "Sooth Lady Wine."

6. "Act One," Marian Hill.

Lead singer Samantha Gongol's soft singing combined with the jazzy, bassy beats of production artist Jeremy Lloyd creates a unique sound. Great album to listen to while working out.

7. "The Altar," Banks.

While Banks musical talents are often questioned, the songs on this album pump me up. Whenever I feel like raging, I pop this album in and jam out to her beckoning calls.

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.

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.
