The Best Songs of 2014

2014 was another great year in music, and brought us an ample amount of hit songs. Here's a selection of my favorites from this year:

Drake: 0 to 100 / The Catch Up

Drake's first single from his upcoming album is fire and it's hard to not bump along to the beat.

Drake: Trophies

Another sick song from Drake.

Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars: Uptown Funk!

This song features a smart style reminiscent of 70s/80s disco, you can't help but sing and dance along to the beat.

Taylor Swift: Blank Space

Taylor Swift has quickly become every guy's guilty pleasure. As much as you hate to admit it, she came out with a great album that includes catchy songs like this.

Clean Bandit (feat. Jess Glynne): Rather Be

One of the years best songs in Dance.

Calvin Harris: Summer

Another great EDM song, perfect for the summer time (as the title suggests).

Porter Robinson: Years of War

If you haven't listened to Porter Robinson's lasted album Worlds, I highly reccomend you do. His sounds is beautiful and unique and the album includes awesome songs like this, probably my favorite from the album.

Disclosure (feat. Sam Smith): Latch

This song gained popularity this year, though it was released in 2013. It is an amazing song and with great lyrics.

Disclosure: You & Me (Flume Remix)

This is probably the best remix of the year, such an incredible beat.

Sia: Chandelier 

A vocal powerhouse of a song with meaningful lyrics and a really cool music video.

Ed Sheeran: Don't

I really like how he mixes a little bit of hip hop with his signature sound. I also like how he's just says "Don't fuc* with my love."

I Love Makonnen (feat. Drake): Tuesday 

A great anthem for a Tuesday night of drinking.

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.
