This past weekend Atlanta hosted their annual music festival in Piedmont Park, Music Midtown. I attended this festival for the first time and was thoroughly impressed with the lineup and location.

I knew I had to attend Music Midtown when I saw the lineup a few months back. The headliners were The Killers and Twenty-One Pilots along with DNCE, The Luimneers, Kesha, G-Eazy and many more amazing artists.

Saturday started the weekend. I saw City & Colour, CHVRCHES, DNCE, G-Eazy, Lil Wayne with 2 Chainz, and Twenty-One Pilots. All these artists impressed me and the festival was set up perfectly so that is was easy to move from stage to stage.

DNCE, with lead singer Joe Jonas, was so much fun to watch and did several covers of popular sings that were really enjoyable. They put on a great show, but no band, in my opinion, can top a Twenty-One Pilots show. This was my fourth time seeing the duo of Tyler Joseph and Joshua Dunn and I still had tears from their performance. They never fail to put together a true experience for their audience. I highly suggest seeing them if you ever have the opportunity to.

Sunday was the true festival experience with lots of rain, a weather delay and mud past your ankles. But, it was so worth staying. Melanie Martinez was the first artist’s show I attended and she was as cool and quirky as I had hoped. After a hour and a half delay I saw who I had been possibly most excited for all weekend, Kesha.

Kesha has not been touring much these past few years and her legal battles do not make it very easy, but she got up on that stage and blew me away. Not only was her attitude and stage presence mesmerizing, but her vocals were some of the best I have hard. Her cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolie” was truly beautiful and her rock ‘n roll renditions of her pop hits are the definition of cool. I am so happy I finally got to see this queen live.

To end the weekend, The Killers performed. Front man, (NAME), has vocals that sound exactly like their albums and they performed all of their beloved hits. They even did a cover of Elvis that was really well done. I am also so ecstatic that I saw such an iconic band live.

Overall, Music Midtown was a festival experience I will never forget and I urge everyone to attend in the future.

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.
