Need new artists to listen to? Here are 13 artists that I listen to that not a lot of people know about! This list consists of pop, pop-rap, contemporary R&B, R&B/soul, pop/rock, and alternative/indie - all in that same order. A couple of these artists are also YouTubers. So, if you like their music, I bet you'll like their YouTube videos, as well!

1. Lauv

Lauv is mostly known for his pop song "I Like Me Better," but "Chasing Fire" is probably my ultimate favorite song of his. I absolutely love to listen to this while walking on the beach!

2. Tyler Shaw

Tyler Shaw's style of pop in this particular song is the sweetest and most adorable thing ever. "Wanted" is also another song of his that I absolutely love!

3. Ruel

Ruel's style of pop music is more laid back with chill vibes and "Not Thinkin' Bout You" is just that!

4. AJ Mitchell

If you were to know AJ Mitchell, you would probably know him for his pop song "Slow Dance" with Ava Max. "Hate That I Love You" is my favorite song of his, though.

5. Ellise

No one I follow on Instagram also follows Ellise. Her pop songs "Keep It To Myself," "Love Made Me Do It," and "Pinky Promise" are my absolute favorites!

6. Alexander Stewart

I found Alexander on YouTube through one of his music cover videos. I remember I found him when he only had around 50,000 subscribers. Now he has 1.82 million! Despite his growth over the last couple of years, no one I follow on Instagram also follows him. His pop song "Best Damn Thing" is my favorite song he's released!

7. Jack and Jack

Jack and Jack is a pop-rap duo, and "Tension" is my favorite song they sing. They recently decided to make music as solo artists, and they're just as good as their duo songs!

8. Olivia O'Brien

Olivia O'Brien is mostly known for her pop song "Hate You, Love You" with G-Nash, but her most recent contemporary R&B song "NOW" is an absolute BOP!

9. HRVY

HRVY's latest pop song, "Good Vibes," is nothing like the previous music he's released, but it's such a great song to boost your mood if you're feeling a bit under the weather! The R&B version of his song "Younger" is also great one to listen to.

10. Franny

Franny Arrieta is a YouTuber who releases R&B/soul music, and I love both her videos and her music!

11. NEZZA

NEZZA is also a YouTuber who releases great R&B/soul music! Fun fact: she's actually best friends with Franny and does lots of collaboration videos with her!

12. The Vamps

The Vamps are mostly known for their pop songs "Somebody to You" with Demi Lovato and "All Night," but their first single for their upcoming album is definitely a big step up in their music! When they were starting off as a band, they first released pop/rock music but have switched over to pop in the recent years.

13. Memphis Wild

I somehow came across this guy's Instagram and absolutely loved his alternative/indie music!

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
