A Pentatonix Christmas Album Review

Since Pentatonix first hit the musical scene on the show, The Sing Off, I have been a huge fan of their work. This acapella group has transformed not only just acapella music, but music in general. Their sound is so iconic and so unique to their group. The fact that they are able to create masterpieces of songs with only five voices astounds me every single time I listen to their music.

Previous to their newest album release, Pentatonix released their Christmas album, That's Christmas To Me, in 2014, and released a Deluxe Album with the same name in 2015. When fans, such as myself, heard that Pentatonix was releasing a new Christmas album in 2016, we were all wondering if their sound would be different, what songs they would produce and if this album would be better or worse than their first album.

Well, I am here to answer all of these questions for you! On October 21, 2016, Pentatonix released their newest Christmas Album, A Pentatonix Christmas. This album is so incredibly fantastic, it is hard to put into words. The groups sound as a whole is so much more united and together than it ever has been before. Their harmonies on songs and the arrangements of both classic and pop oriented Christmas songs are just exquisite.

In this album, as in every album or song Pentatonix produces, the group put their spin on classic Christmas and more uptempo pop Christmas selections. For example, for the song "White Christmas," the group starts the song off in the classical tone that the original is in. Then, they transform it into a jazzy, free-flowing selection! One of my favorite selections from this album is "Hallelujah", which is the single they also released a music video with. This song is so stripped down and I love how in this song and the album as a whole, all of the artists are featured in solo parts in an equal amount. Every single member of this group is so talented and their voices blend perfectly together.

So overall, would I recommend you buy or stream this album? ABSOLUTELY! This album will give you all the feels and get you into the Christmas spirit most importantly!

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.
