Need a new jam this fall? Look no further than Carlie Hanson's new single, "Toxins." It is a total bop that I guarantee you will leave on repeat for days. I was lucky enough to hear the track played live, prior to its release, this past Wednesday night in Minneapolis, as Carlie is currently an opener for Troye Sivan's "Bloom" tour.

From the moment the song started playing, everybody in the crowd was pulled into her powerful vocals, relatable lyrics and amazing stage presence.

While watching Carlie perform, and just hearing her music in general, it's crazy to think that not even two years ago she was working at a McDonalds in a small town in Wisconsin. Not only is she absolutely killing it every night while opening on Troye's tour, but she has been racking up the music streams before even releasing a full debut album.

"Toxins" hadn't even been released for 24 hours, and it already had 100,000+ streams. She also has had her music featured on Spotify's biggest playlist Today's Top Hits, Apple Music's A-List Pop Playlist and an Apple Playlist made up by Taylor Swift. Basically, she's killing the game.

Although Carlie only sang five songs while opening for Troye Sivan, she made each moment so special. She opened with "Why Did You Lie?" which gave the crowd a glimpse of what she's about. "Toxins" followed, which really got the crowd going and is when her strong stage presence really started to shine. It was clear during this song that she loves being able to perform and share her music with the world.

"Hazel" and "Only One" followed. "Only One" is her breakout song, as it has over 45 million streams on Spotify alone. Before performing it she said, "If anyone knows the lyrics to this next one please sing along," and the crowd sure did. Just about everyone sang and danced along to the catchy beat.

The last song of the set was "Us," and I can't think of a better one to close with. It is a total banger, had the crowd putting their middle fingers into the air, and is full of powerful and relatable lyrics.

Overall, Carlie Hanson sure knows how to get a crowd pumped up for a show, and I guarantee it won't be long before she's headlining a tour of her own. Don't miss out on this talented artist. Go give her music a listen on Spotify or Apple Music. You won't be disappointed.

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.
