My Top 10 Songs of 2016

I love music...plain and simple. I honestly despise the radio because it replays the same songs over and again. By then, that "new hit" that keeps playing quickly becomes old and outplayed. That is why Spotify is life. Through Spotify, I have discovered several amazing artists that I never would've found by listening to the radio. I recently received an email from Spotify saying that a playlist was created for me based on the songs that I played countless times throughout the year. Based on this 101 songs playlist, I decided to pick my top 10 favorite songs.

1. "Distraction"- Kehlani

Kehlani is a Contemporary R&B singer from Oakland, California who continues to become more and more well-known in the music industry. After being on "America's Got Talent," she started her career with a mixtape called "Cloud 19," followed by another mixtape called "You Should Be Here." Her voice is unique and beautiful. Check out her music on Spotify!

2. "No Problem"- Chance The Rapper

"If one more label try to stop me..." Every time this song comes on, a bolt of energy just runs through my body. I never get tired of it. This is an amazing song, along with his amazing mixtape.

3. "Child's Play"- Drake

This song was from the "Views" album that was a major success. This is probably my favorite song from the album.

4. "On The Way"- TWENTY88

This artist is actually Big Sean and Jhene Aiko combined. They created a magical album together, and they're going to release another one together soon. They're dating, in case you were wondering.

5. "Be Alright"- Ariana Grande

Hands down, she's one of my favorite artists. I love her soulful voice, and it gives me chills.

6. "Pink + White"- Frank Ocean

This is a slow song, but it is so beautiful. It took him forever to release his second album "Blond," but was his album all that it was hyped up to be? You decide.

7. "Zaddy"- Ty Dolla $ign


Yes, the girl's voice in the intro is indeed Keke Palmer!

8. "Die For You"- The Weeknd

Even though his new album is pretty recent, the year isn't over just yet! This is one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard. I mean just look at the title of the song.

9. "That's What I Like"- Bruno Mars


Bruno Mars' new album is EVERYTHING. Listen and find out for yourself.

10. "You Love It"- Roy Woods

For those of you who do not know Roy Woods' music, you're missing out on greatness!!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
