She is back and greater than ever! Although Adele has not released an album since February 22, 2011(it's been 4 years, 8 months, and 14 days (but who's counting right?)) she just released "25" and it's almost like she never left. To say it is an amazing, well-crafted album would be an understatement. If she managed to get us through our breakups and hard times back in 2011, we knew she wouldn't let us down this time around. Even when Adele told the world what the album was about, we all fell even more in love.

25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realizing. And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened. -Adele

When I first listened to the album, I expected a majority (all) of the songs to make me cry. Actually, the first time I listened to "When We Were Young" I did cry (tears of joy because Adele was finally back). The lyrics alone are amazing, heart breaking, and gratifying all in one. Every song evokes a different feeling, some of nostalgia, some of pain, some happiness even (surprising, I know). But, I decided to share a few of my favorite lyrics:

-If this is my last night with you hold me like I'm more than just a friend. Give me a memory I can use. Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do. It matters how this ends, cause what if I never love again?// All I Ask

-I feel my life is flashing by and all I can do is watch and cry. I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my mother, I miss it when life was a party to be thrown, but that was a million years ago// A Million Years Ago

-And if I'm not the one for you, you've gotta stop holding me like you do// Water Under the Bridge

-Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch, but I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough// River Lea

-But I want to live and not just survive// Love In The Dark

I could go on for days, but if you have not listened to this album on repeat since the day it was released, you are not utilizing your time properly! Go pick up a copy, buy it on iTunes, do whatever it takes to get your hands on this album!

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.

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.
