30 Music Artists Who Deserve More Appreciation In 2018
Youtube

One of my resolutions every year is to discover new music. I'm constantly being introduced to new songs and artists, but in 2017 I started to feel like a lot of my old favorites were absolutely killing it and no one was paying attention, so I compiled a list of underappreciated artists who have improved my life a million times over that everyone needs to stop sleeping on, plus a bunch of reccomendations from my Odyssey friends that I'm going to be jamming to all year long.

All the artists I've included fall outside of Spotify's top artists, so they're definitely underappreciated.

1. Jacob Whitesides

2. Greyson Chance

3. Bea Miller

4. Jake Miller

5. 7 Minutes in Heaven

6. Billie Eilish

7. James TW

8. Dodie

9. City and Color

10. Alexander Jean

11. Two Door Cinema Club

12. Anthem Lights

13. Glass Animals

14. The Head and the Heart

15. Colony House

16. Odessa

17. Skylar Grey

18. Wrabel

19. MUNA

20. Ella Mai

21. EDEN

22. Nahko

23. Within Temptation

24. Meg Myers

25. Lacey Sturm

26. Grizfolk

27. Cimorelli


28. The Ready Set

29. Dylan Holland

30. Spencer Sutherland

All of these artists, some new to me, and some old, totally blew me away with the songs I have posted above. Almost all of them have plans for new music in 2018, so get ready and pay attention. You never know which one of these will be this year's break out artist (and a well-deserving one at that.)

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.
