A Playlist For The Year-Round Hopeless Romantic

billboard.com

Love is a beautiful thing. And we don't need to wait for Valentine's Day to embrace the feeling. Here are some sentimental songs that will delight the hopeless romantic in you.

1. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

I'm convinced this is one of those songs that our generation will turn into a wedding song. But it's well deserved. Ed Sheeran's whole demeanor is just cute, man, and this is such a purely romantic song. I'm all for it.

2. "Exchange" by Bryson Tiller

Bryson Tiller's been getting a lot of attention over the past year or so from his groovy-R&B-crooner-over-hard-trap-beats type of music. It's very much trap soul, just like his album title. I've been vibing with it lately, and I'm anxiously awaiting the moment he makes his crossover to pop. I believe it's gonna happen.

3. "The Way" by Kehlani (feat. Chance the Rapper)

♫I ain't even made my bed up...♫ Now, I don't even be listening to Kehlani like that, but I'd recommend it over this one song alone. It's a dope slow jam that can fit a good amount of love-strung situations.

4. "Bed Peace" by Jhene Aiko (feat. Childish Gambino)

This song's about finding beauty in simplicity. Love doesn't have to be full of exaggerated, animated gestures to be beautiful. Gambino and Jhene capture this perfectly.

5. "Harveston Lake" by Johnny Rain

This is a lovely song. It's quite somber at some points, but I still quite enjoy it. Also, I think the song writing's stellar.

6. "Refill" by Elle Varner

I I remember that I used to be in high school, practicing the vocal runs in this song. Elle Varner's voice is just stellar. This has got to be one of my all time favorite love-ish songs.

7. "All I Need" by NoName Gypsy (feat. SPZRKT)

This is a new banger. It's super cute and I'll always love NoName's flow and word play. I only hope that she gets the success that she deserves.

8. "Thinkin' Bout You" by Frank Ocean

You may be sick of this song, but I'm sure not. To me, it's a timeless record that I'm sure to bring up to my husband in twenty years talking about the good old days of R&B.

I hope you enjoyed my alternatively romantic song playlist! Here's to a incredible love filled year.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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

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.
