5 Songs To Add To Your Summer Playlist

Summer. -

when everything changes...

when memories - good and bad - are made...

when you spend the entire day blasting the greatest hits…

including these:

------

5. Shawn Mendes ft Khalid - Youth


Unlike many other Summer Songs, which are more light and upbeat, this one is more mellow, and touches upon, indirectly, a sensitive topic. Nonetheless, this is a Song of the Summer, as it is all about being, well, youthful, young and courageous, despite of all that is going on in this world. The only thing that we, as individuals, have and hold onto, is our youth, and no one can take that away from us. As the songs goes, “as long as I wake up today / you can’t take my youth away.”

4. Icona Pop ft Charli XCX - I Love It


This iconic song MAY have been released back in 2012, but there is no denying that it is still, very much so, a JAM. Whenever I hear this song on the radio (and yes, they still play it sometimes!) it makes me want to, given its upbeat and scream-worthy lyrics, start jamming. It makes me want to forget all my worries and just start living freely.

3. 5 Seconds of Summer - Youngblood


Perhaps what makes this song, yet another, Song of the Summer, is its incredible transition from a sweet and subtle sound during its Verses, to an incredible and sick beat-drop during its Chorus. 5 Seconds of Summer hasn’t released a song in what seems like F O R E V E R, and so, with this new release, and upcoming album (due to be released in June!), this song is definitely one to add to your 2018 Summer Playlist!

2. Bazzi - Beautiful


This Song is PERFECT for all those individuals who are lucky enough to be in a relationship, especially during this summer-warm weather. It’s about letting that a significant partner (or a best-friend, because why not?) know that they are beautiful, no matter what they look like. (brb, swooning).

1. Calvin Harris ft Dua Lipa - One Kiss


Calvin Harris seems to always be putting out absolutely jam-worthy songs, and this one is no different. Dua Lipa’s vocals on this song is simply the cherry-on-top. Nonetheless, although this is quite a lovely-dovey romantic kind-of-song, as it is about how all it takes is One Kiss to fall in love, it is still an amazing summer song. After all, whilst one kiss can change everything, as can one summer. Perhaps then, this is the perfect Summer Anthem.

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.
