It's only been a few days into 2017 and Snakehips and have already dropped new music. The collaboration between the British electronic duo and Danish singer "Don't Leave" was just released on January 6th and accompanied by a lyric video featuring a moody MØ walking through a tunnel.

Snakehips first released their debut single "Days With You" with Sinead Harnett back in 2014 and gained prominence for their tracks which meshed future beats with R&B influences. Some remixes which showcase their signature sound include "Raury - Cigarette Song", "Banks - Warm Water", "Bondax - Gold" and Kehlani - Til The Morning.

In 2015, they began crossing over into mainstream pop with the release of "All My Friends" which featured Tinashe and Chance the Rapper and continued to gain popularity in 2016, when All My Friends EP and "Cruel" with Zayn was released.

Co-writer and vocalist for "Lean On," MØ has worked extensively with various electronic artists such as Diplo on "XXX 88" and "Kamikaze," Avicii on "Dear Boy," Elliphant on "'One More'"and Major Lazer on "Cold Water" and "Lost. Her second studio album is anticipated to be released later this year.

"Don't Leave" marks a tonal shift from MØ's upbeat, quirky, electropop releases from 2016 like "Drum," "Final Song" and "Kamikaze." Clad with R&B/Pop-infused beats, the song depicts a heartbreak that MØ's powerful vocals only deliver in a way that's too real. MØ shines as the star of "Don't Leave" and the entire track centers around her gut-wrenching vocals. On the other hand, Snakehips' sound and individuality are lost within a generic production. Whether they can transition to mainstream without compromising their style is still a question. However, "Don't Leave" deserves recognition for its toxic addictiveness and will undeniably hype listeners up for MØ's next move.

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.

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.
