Originally, the youngest member of dispersed music group “The Wanted,” Nathan Sykes, now 23, is slowly beginning to build a new name for himself in the world of music. Releasing his first single earlier this summer, Sykes returned to the music scene with a bang. “Kiss Me Quick,” followed by “Over and Over Again,” a soulful piano ballad that will melt your heart, proves that Nathan has so much potential as a solo artist. Also, his song "More Than You'll Ever Know" comes with a music video that emphasizes his incredibles vocals and unique style.

Born in Gloucester, England, Sykes was influenced by music early on in his life from his mother, a piano teacher. Growing up, his love for music blossomed into a successful career as ¼ of The Wanted, best known for their hits “Glad You Came” and “Chasing the Sun”.

As of September 30, Sykes released his song “Famous,” an amazing piece of music with a 1960s soul sound, similar to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. With an album set to release in early November of this year, Nathan Sykes has only just begun his rise to the top of the music world as a singer, songwriter and musician.

Through his social media platforms, he promotes all his upcoming music as well as continues to show his genuine love for his fans through contests, interactions and regular updates on his life. Even though Nathan Sykes has developed much, in terms of sound, since his days in “The Wanted,” he’s still the quirky, charming and pleasant kid from Gloucester that “The Wanted” fans fell in love with in the beginning.

On his own, Nathan can now express his unique sound of R&B mixed with pop and a little soul. “Give It Up” featuring G-Eazy shows how well Sykes can adapt his sound from soulful and sweet to fun and danceable. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for something new in the music world to check out Nathan Sykes.

You can check out his music video for “Give It Up” here and “Over and Over Again” here. Also, he can be found on Twitter, Snapchat (@sykesmusic), Facebook, and Instagram.

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.
