ALBUM REVIEW: 'Future Friends' By Superfruit
Idolator

You've heard of Pentatonix, now get ready for Superfruit! Superfruit is the dynamic duo of Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi, originally a YouTube channel, but now expanded into a full out music group. The YouTube channel has been home to several mashups and covers alike (how can we forget "Hip Hop Goes Broadway"?), but fans first got a taste of the pair's original music from the animated video for "Bad 4 Us".

Now, we've officially got a full-fledged Superfruit album, and it's like Christmas came early. "Future Friends" started out as two EPs come together for one giant album. It boasts 16 songs, one of which is a remix of the title track, and not your typical remix either as it is comprised solely of piano and a chorus of beautiful voices. Think of "Future Friends" as your feel good Friday night music. It's hard to pick a favorite because every song is as energetic and lyrical as the next.

It's a different vibe of music, especially coming from these two, who we are used to hearing in Pentatonix. Different in this case doesn't mean that it's bad, though. Each song transports us back to the 90s because it gives off that new age electronic pop music. In the case of "Heartthrob", though, we're stuck in the 90s with no intention of going back. There are a few ballad-esque songs--see: "Deny U" and "Goodbye From Lonely", but the real show-stopper, at least in my opinion, has to be "GUY.exe". The song is about being able to supersize the perfect guy despite everyone saying that finding someone that perfect is impossible.

If you love Pentatonix and are constantly cycling through their albums and EPs, give "Future Friends" a try. Even if you aren't cycling through PTX's music, give "Future Friends" a try. It's a good time in 16 songs.

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.
