The 1975

Just in case you do not follow myself on social media or you are not a fan of the band, The 1975 just had a unique and beautiful performance over the weekend.

They were invited to play with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in London on Friday, September 30th. This performance has been one that the band along with the orchestra, has been rehearsing for months on end to prepare for. They brought along their new unique sound from the new album they have been promoting this past year and will continue touring into 2017, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful, Yet So Unaware of It. The set was broadcasted worldwide from BBC's website.

This show contained stage visuals and new additions to the set list that fans might not have been able to see live yet. The pairing of the orchestra and the band was spectacular. Lead singer of the band, Matty Healy was emotional before and during the show telling BBC radio, "I was crying today, at times. It’s the first time I've wanted to do another run through of a soundcheck. It was incredible."

The 1975 also covered One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and Justin Bieber's "Sorry." These are both songs that Healy and Co. have covered live before, but this performance was 100 times more intense and emotional.

The band has received many phenomenal reviews and praise from the show, even from previous critics of theirs. It is much deserved especially after being nominated for the Mercury Prize Award for the best album of 2016 in their home of Great Britain.

2016 has been a great year for the group in means of numbers, success and transition. 2017, as Healy has just announced via twitter, will have new material and much more to follow.

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.
