The day has come! Ed Sheeran is finally back and as wonderful as ever. His third album, "Divide" debuted Friday, March 3rd. His disappearance from the music scene was worth the wait. This album is so beautifully created and wonderful. As a huge Ed fan, I wanted to review his new album and share my thoughts on each song.

1. Eraser

HE IS RAPPING. ED IS RAPPING THANK GOODNESS. I interpreted this song as Ed's way of telling his fans how he stays true to himself through the fame. My favorite line in this song says "I find comfort in my pain." reminding us fans that hey, he is a real person and feels what we feel. Props to him.

2. Castle on the Hill

I envision this song being used for a John Green film. Quick John Green get a new movie out there and feature this song.

3. Dive

The passion in his voice makes me swoon. Heart eyes all the way.

4. Shape of You

If you haven't heard this song by now, you probably live under a rock. How could you not love this song? PS check out the acoustic version of this.

5. Perfect

Dibs on using this song for my wedding someday. Literally it's perfect, hence the title.

6. Galway Girl

THERE IS A FIDDLE. Yes Ed yes. I love how he is incorporating different sounds into his music. Mix of folk, with hip hop beats and it blends so nicely.

7. Happier

When I listened to this song I interpreted it as trying to find happiness for an ex friend or partner. It can be hard to see an ex happy without you, but in the end seeing them happy is all that matters. And finding happiness without them too.

8. New Man

The lyrics in this song are so sneaky and just great. I love how Ed talks about a girl changing for a guy. We can all relate somehow.

9. Hearts Don't Break Around Here

Another yet sweet love song by Ed. Ed sets the bar high for all the other men out there. Step up your game.

10. What Do I Know?

Ed is smart. Ed is also not the type of person who will try to prove how smart and intelligent he is. Be like Ed.

11. How Would You Feel (Paean)

ISO of man to sing this song to me. Or Ed you can sing it to me in person. HMU.

12. Supermarket Flowers

The range in his voice. Oh my goodness. This song is beautiful. I cried. Listen to it.

13. Barcelona

This song made me want to pack my bags, hit the beach, and dance all night. I predict this will be a bit hit this summer.

14. Bibia Be Ye Ye

I also think this song will be a hit this summer. Great for road trips to the beach.

15. Nancy Mulligan

MORE FIDDLE. Seriously I love how Ed is incorporating folk styles into his own style.

16. Save Myself

I relate so much to this song. I do so much for other people but never get anything in return. That is why I need to start putting myself first to well save myself. This song is a great reality check.

Well Ed you did it again. Thank you.

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.
