Music Video Review: Hailee Steinfeld FT. DNCE 'Rock Bottom'
Ultimate Music

Hailee Steinfeld released her music video for "Rock Bottom" from her EP "HAIZ" the morning of March 25, 2016. The original version of the song features only Steinfeld's vocals, but the alternative version, the one used in the video, features the vocals of DNCE's Joe Jonas. The entire band makes an appearance in the video as well.

The video follows the lyrical storyline, depicting a dysfunctional couple who are bad listeners, but are enamored with each other. They love each other one moment and hate each other the next. Steinfeld, 19, was nominated for an Oscar at age 13 and starred in Pitch Perfect 2, shows off her acting skills once again. She's seen running her hands through her hand in frustration one second and then happily feeding her onscreen love interest Sour Patch Kids the next. Of course these aren't the skills that qualified her for an Oscar nomination, but her emotions do feel genuine throughout the video.

What really shines are Steinfeld's vocal abilities. She shows off a bit of her range in the pre-chorus melting into the chorus. She also has some nice harmonies with Jonas. Jonas captivates Steinfeld and she shows her interest by joining him on stage. They're transfixed on each other, and Steinfeld's sweater even matches Jonas' hair. Meanwhile, her lover is left in the audience watching the chemistry between Steinfeld and Jonas unfold onstage.

There's a screaming match, neon lights, and a few fallen tears. Watch the video below to see how it ends.


Steinfeld is still new to the music scene, while Jonas is a long-time candidate but with a new band. Overall the two make a fun onscreen pair and put together what has the potential to be the next hot anthem.

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.
