Looking For The Perfect Summer Playlist?

This is a response to My Top 5 Summer Artists for 2023.

Each summer, I'm always trying to create the perfect set of tunes that will match the summer's vibe and be something that I continuously want to listen to. Sometimes, it's really hard! Here are some artists that I'd recommend giving a listen to so that maybe they can make it on your summer playlist:

Artist: Harbour

(My) Top Tracks: Float, I've Only Started Running, and Thoughts On Letting Go

This band is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and creates some amazing tunes. They have a few albums, all following a kind of indie-roadtrippy-adventure sound. They have some emotional tunes, as well as some light-hearted love tracks, and then some that make you want to travel the world with them as your soundtrack. It all fits with the summer vibe, and they're slowly on the rise to becoming a big name.

Artist: Prince of Eden

Top Tracks: Ini, Shadesandcolors, and Mammal Talk

Prince of Eden is a solo artist rising slowly with his eclectic, indie-rock sound. His music feels like it should be set to a coming-of-age movie where the main character is traveling and understanding more about themself. Some of the songs have deeper, beautiful lyrics, while others just sound mesmerizing and make you want to go on an adventure.

Artist: Eagles

Top Tracks: Take It Easy - 2013 Remaster, Peaceful Easy Feeling - 2013 Remaster

An oldie but a goodie! For those who love folk rock with a hint of country, or enjoy their hit "Hotel California," then I encourage you to give Eagles a more thorough listen. I'll admit, I only recently began listening to more of their stuff after a friend recommended them. I didn't realize how much I knew (and liked) already of their music! It feels easy-going and calm, the perfect background tunes when cooking in your kitchen, doing chores, or just hanging around outside this summer.

Other Random Songs & Artists: Love & War in Your Twenties (Jordan Searcy), Changes (Joy Oladokun), August (Acoustic, Flipturn), Dancer (Léon), and Backup (Ripe)

These are just some of my favorites that I've found so far. Hopefully there's something in here that fits your type of music or at least something that can be part of your summer playlist! For me, music can always bring me right back to a memory, especially summer songs. I know these tracks will remind me in the future of this time of my life and they'll bring back lots of good mems.

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.
