Top Artists To See At Lollapalooza On Thursday

If you were lucky enough to get tickets to Lollapalooza this year, you should be jumping for joy. In honor of Lollapalooza's 25th anniversary, Lolla will be four days long instead of the usual three. Each day is filled with a variety of amazing artists so that there'll be something for everyone to get hyped about. If you aren't sure about who to see on Thursday, here are five great artists and their top songs. These might become your next favorite artists!

Melanie Martinez

Melanie was a contestant on the third season of "The Voice." Her debut alternative pop album "Cry Baby" was highly anticipated and received great reviews. Her songs are extremely catchy but have darker, more serious meanings behind the pop sound. Check out her song "Dollhouse" about the illusion of perfection.

The Last Shadow Puppets

If you like the Arctic Monkeys, you're almost guaranteed to like the Last Shadow Puppets. Lead vocalist and guitarist Alex Turner joins other rockers to form this sexy, retro band. They have an electric presence onstage that will definitely prove to be a great time. Check out their song "Bad Habits," full of roaring vocals and arrogance.

Danny Brown

This rapper was recently described by MTV as "one of rap's most unique figures in recent history." He's known for his wild hair, wild outfits, wild dance moves, and wild lyrics. His animated spirit is sure to transfer to his stage presence and be an exhilarating performance. Check out his "Look at me now" anthem "Grown Up."

The 1975

The 1975 have fully embraced the dark side of pure pop. They've been reviewed as the "X-rated cousin of Taylor Swift's '1989.'" They have a fun '80s vibe that's slick and romantic and sure to make you want to jump around and dance at Lolla. Check out the clever, dark humor in their song "UGH!"

Bas

Buddies with fellow rappers J. Cole, Cozz, and Omen, Bas has started to gain more recognition for his passionate lyrics on drug abuse, death, and racial issues in America. His reflective style and deep raps are bound to relate and connect with his audience. Check out his hit with J. Cole, "Night Job."

Whoever you decide to see, Lollapalooza on Thursday is sure to be incredible.

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.

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.
