TOBi's New Album, "Elements Vol. 1"

As a 22-year-old guy in college, I am ALWAYS on the lookout for new music and artists. Plus I like experimenting with new genres. Music is such a cool way to connect with other people, distract yourself when you're down or boost yourself up when needed! I love being able to find new artists too because I feel it really broadens the "bubble" I'm in. TOBi is a perfect example of someone who can truly open your eyes to a new world.

TOBi is an artist I recently came across who is amazing! He's originally from Nigeria and lived there until he was eight years old. He now resides in Toronto, Canada. He's just released a brand new album entitled, Elements Vol. 1, that is flawless. Personally, I love the two songs "Made Me Everything" and "Matter." Sound-wise, they are polar opposites. "Made Me Everything" more uptempo, song where TOBi raps and gets you moving. On the other hand, "Matter" is a soulful, slow song that has a great message.

I had the amazing opportunity to talk with TOBi on November 9th about his new album and who he is as a person. We discussed a lot and he explained how he wrote many of these songs during quarantine and how they each mean something really special to him. He told some interesting stories about his collaborations during quarantine as well. He'd have to FaceTime the other artists while writing the music which I'm sure could be very challenging or at least have an extremely different feel to it compared to working together in the studio.

I asked him if he had a favorite track on his album. He said the seventh track, "Shine" was his favorite because he had a ton of fun writing it and it has a really important message behind it about how life can be difficult and yet finding a way to "shine" on is most important. He talks about how he loves seeing his friends and family make it out of the trenches. He said when he writes, he wants everything to make sense and that's his main priority. He wants the song to have the ability to be taken apart and dissected and come across clearly.

TOBi is extremely excited about this new release and the new projects he's working on. I hope you take a second to listen to his new album because I PROMISE you won't regret it. His new album is out now and you can stream it wherever and watch his latest music video HERE

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.
