Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa Delight on House Anthem “One Kiss”

Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa

Calvin Harris has been on a roll with all of his A-list collaborations over the past several years including everyone from Rihanna and Frank Ocean, to Nicki Minaj and Gwen Stefani, as well as John Legend. His sound has been bouncing around from today's ubiquitous radio-ready EDM pop to slow-jamming R&B fare. On his latest release, Harris harks back to old school 90s house goodness in “One Kiss" - which unsurprisingly features a very of-the-moment pop princess...none other than English singer-songwriter/model Dua Lipa who is currently all over the FM airwaves with her “New Rules" hit.

“One Kiss" is definitely very reminiscent OG Calvin Harris. Think his earlier pace-setting staples like “I Created Disco" and “Disco Heat“ way before being Taylor's beau and becoming one of the richest DJs on the planet. The track brings back fond memories of that catchy classic house sound that swept Manhattan during the heyday of Crystal Waters' excellent 1991 “Gypsy Woman" house anthem. That's the direction where Harris takes “One Kiss"' along with his latest leading lady and EDM diva Lipa. And it's certainly working. Harris brings the bumping soulful grooves while Lipa belts out sassy diva vocal declaring that “one kiss is all it takes to" fall in love with her.

In today's music day and age of cookie-cutter commercial EDM sounds, it's nice to go back to basics and hear some quality deep house. And maybe going back to that is the future of dance music this time around.

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.

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.
