10 Of The Best Postmodern Jukebox Songs

Summer 2018 is rapidly approaching, and with summer comes an intense desire for a good summer playlist. I've decided that (for me, at least) this summer is going to be one of vintage vibes without outdated ideals, which makes Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox the perfect source for my summer 2018 playlist. So, here are the best Postmodern Jukebox songs for summer 2k18, definitively ranked by me.

1. Such Great Heights

Honestly, this song is underappreciated in general, but Kiah Victoria's voice just makes it.

2. Worth It

This cover is an entire party if I'm being honest. It definitely isn't chill like I usually want my summer songs to be, but that's fine. It's fine. It's nearly perfect anyway.

3. It Wasn't Me

Again, not chill, but certainly a lot of fun.

4. Barbie Girl

Don't even look at me if you don't think Barbie Girl is one of the best songs of any generation. The Beach Boys vibes of this song makes me feel like I should be dancing on a beach in a retro-style high-waisted polka-dot bikini.

5. I Kissed A Girl

I am admittedly weak for the doo-wop style.

6. Stacy's Mom

Casey Abrams is perfection in anything he does. Don't @ me on this, or do! I don't care, I only care that this is amazing and high-energy and so fun.

7. Closer

We aren't pretending Closer isn't a total bop, right? Because it is. It always will be, and it fits the vintage vibes so well.

8. Are You Gonna Be My Girl

This is another total jam, and Addie Hamilton's voice is quite frankly perfect for it.

9. Love Yourself

I just have to give a quick shout-out to Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox for allowing me to enjoy this song without having to listen to Justin Bieber.

10. I Believe In A Thing Called Love

This song is the specific feeling of me driving home at 8:30 pm on a mid-June Sunday night, with my hair in a ponytail but still flying all over the place because the sun roof is open and the windows are down, and everything is okay.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
