8 Artists That Are Perfect For Summer
Allison Pericles

For me, music is a big part of my summer. I tend to associate memories from summer with songs that I listen to; music is a big part of those ~summer vibes~. Here are some of my favorite artists to listen to this summer:

1. BORNS

BORNS has a very unique sound that you don't hear too often. I would describe his music as very carefree and breezy.

My Favorites: Electric Love, Seeing Stars, The Emotion

2. Empire of the Sun

My little sister actually introduced me to Empire of the Sun. The duo has a very millennial, electronic sound, and it's perfect to listen to in the car or on a rainy day. It's definitely whimsical, and I find it easy to zone out and disappear into your own little world while listening to their music.

My Favorites: Walking on a Dream, Way To Go, High And Low, Standing On The Shore

3. Catfish and the Bottlemen

I feel as if Catfish and the Bottlemen perfectly embodies rock & roll. Their music is very high-energy and sunshine-y.

My Favorites: Kathleen, Homesick

4. Phoenix

Phoenix's music is extremely upbeat and I guarantee you that it will always put you in a good mood.

My Favorites: 1901, Lasso

Flume

Flume's music is on the more electronic side of things. I discovered Flume last summer en route to one of my many family lake trips, and his energetic sound perfectly captured the mood.

My Favorites: Holdin On, Sleepless feat. Jezzabell Doran, Tiny Cities (feat. Beck)

ODESZA

ODESZA is also a little more electronic, but I'd say it's more dreamy and twinkly. This was another artist who I found on one of my lake excursions, and it was one of my favorites during spring as well.

My Favorites: Bloom, White Lies (feat. Jenni Potts)

CRUISR

CRUISR is very relaxed and comes off to me as one of those bands to listen to while sitting on a beach drinking a smoothie. Perfect for sunny, adventure-filled days.

My Favorites: All Over, Kidnap Me

Circa Waves

To me, Circa Waves has a slightly vintage, sipping-coke-and-wearing-sunglasses-in-a-convertible sort of feel. Their sound is very fun and chill, and they're a part of the Music Midtown lineup.

My Favorites: T-Shirt Weather, Lost It

AI music threatens creativity

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

StableDiffusion

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.
