Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa Unite for Elegant EDM Opus “Scared to Be Lonely”

Martin Garrix is at it again. This time he’s unleashed the dubsteppin’ “Scared To Be Lonely” track featuring rising Albanian vocalist Dua Lipa. Hot off the heals of chart-ruling hits like “In The Name Of Love” and “Now That I’ve Found You," Garrix uses his emerging tried-and-true formula of epic techno-infused soundscapes meshed with power pop vocals on his latest commercial single.

“Scared To Be Lonely” is a gorgeously haunting piece of electronica that puts Lipa’s yearning voice front and center, and unites it in harmony with the rugged trance-y breakbeats from Garrix. It's a sound that's come to dominate the FM airwaves these days with similar tactics being used by likes of radio-friendly EDM pioneers like The Chainsmokers. It’s also worth noting how “Scared to Be Lonely” does not go into familiar four-on-the-floor territory common to pop EDM. Instead, it chooses to reside in a more serene realm with great results, even daresay, going into a modern power ballad place.

Garrix and Lipa are yet the latest in the EDM dude and pop dudette pairings. Look at Kygo plus Selena Gomez on “It Ain’t Me," David Guetta plus Emeli Sandé on “What I Did for Love,” and Calvin Harris plus Rihanna on “We Found Love” just for starters. On “Scared To Be Lonely," the Dutch/Albanian duo bring out their own unique slant within this ubiquitous musical category and easily carve out a unique niche.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
