Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! As the month of November comes, we are all suddenly surrounded by stores with holiday decorations, Christmas music on the radio, and all that good holiday jazz.

An all-time favorite Christmas album is Michael Buble's "Christmas." Who doesn't love a Canadian singer with a voice of an angel singing Christmas classics? We've had many artists make Christmas albums to put us into that holiday spirit. For example, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and many more. On October 26 we got the Christmas album no one expected, from none other than John Legend.

A Legendary Christmas, not only gives us some of our favorite Christmas songs, but also some of his own new songs with legendary artists, like Stevie Wonder. The first song on the album, "What Christmas Means to Me," starts with a Christmassy vibe to it. Showing Legend's merry side with a mix of holiday spirit, which we rarely see. John Legend is known for his romantic songs that make us feel head over heels for someone, or can make us emotional (I cried for like two days straight after I heard "All of Me"). Here is a list of the rest of the songs and descriptions:

  • "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" starts softly with Legend's melodious voice soothing us. I definitely recommend that song for when you need to relax or you have a romantic date.
  • "Bring Me Love" has a happy melody about that one special person that we all want this Christmas. One person who brings us all the happiness in the world and we all we really want for Christmas is to spend it with them.
  • "By Christmas Eve" is a soothing romantic song promising your significant other that you'll be there for the celebration. He sings about doing whatever he can to make it to his lover.
  • "The Christmas Song" is by far my favorite. It combines all our favorite Christmas elements and the original song adopting a new vibe. A song to put on while decorating the tree and hanging up some lights. Great song while baking some Christmas treats.
  • "Christmas Time Is Here", the name the correct way to describe the song. A nice tune to put in the car with the windows down and the chilly air surrounding us. A reminder that
  • "Please Come Home For Christmas" will make you so happy. It has a kind of jazz tone and you definitely can feel the romance Christmas brings. Love in the air is present and people are ready to find their Christmas love.
  • "Silver Bells" might be an old song but he definitely mixes it up. Some modern beats put into a classic carol.

Those are my favorite songs of this wonderful album. John Legend has definitely surpassed and went above and beyond this Christmas. I can assure you that putting these songs on will make everyone get in that amazing Christmas spirit. After November 22nd get your Christmas playlists ready and put some Christmas tunes on!

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.

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.
