3 New Artists You Need To Know
The End in Mind

While I love Taylor Swift and The Weeknd as much as anyone, there's something especially awesome about discovering new music and listening to the latest artists before they blow up and hit super stardom. All three of the following artists are just minutes away from making it big, so make it a point to get to know them soon. You can thank me later.


Troye Sivan

South African-born and Australian-raised, 20-year-old Troye Sivan has an insanely popular YouTube channel, two EPs, and a feature-length album coming in December. His 3.6 million YouTube subscribers and 3 million Twitter followers are more than ready to make him into the next big thing, and he definitely deserves it.

Favorite Song: Ease

Favorite Lyric: My youth is yours/ Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls


Alessia Cara

If you know of Alessia Cara already, it may be from her sleeper hit "Here," or from her guest spot on the final US show of Taylor Swift's 1989 world tour in Tampa. If you don't know about her yet, do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with her music now, so you have bragging rights when she starts winning Grammys and selling out arena tours.

Favorite Song: Seventeen

Favorite Lyric: Since my friends are here, I just came to kick it/
But really I would rather be at home all by myself


Halsey


Halsey got her start on YouTube, Tumblr and SoundCloud, posting under her real name, Ashley Frangipane. Her debut studio album, Badlands, is not only expertly written, but inspiring, heartbreaking, and catchy all at the same time.

Favorite Song: Colors

Favorite Lyric: You were red, and you liked me because I was blue/ But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky/ Then you decided purple just wasn't for you


Honorable Mention: MisterWives

While not particularly new, indie band MisterWives is beginning to hit it big across the US. The New York-based band performed at music festival SXSW and recently spent time opening up for Twenty One Pilots.

Favorite Song: Reflections

Favorite Lyric: Into my soul you stared/ And broke down every fear

I highly recommend giving these new artists a shot- if not for anything more than bragging rights when they're famous. The playlist below will give you a good taste of what they have to offer.

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.
