This Is Why You Should Give Rosalía A Listen

Rosalía Vila Tobella, or better known as just simply Rosalía, is the most recent Barcelona native who is putting a modern twist to flamenco music.

Rosalía's most recent album 'El mal querer' (The Bad Loving) is composed of eleven songs that are totally worth listening to. Each song is named, but are also in the form of chapters. For example, the first song in the album is Malamente (Cap.1 Augurio) and the rest of the songs are in the same format.

Each song tells a story and the following track is a continuation of that story. I think that's a pretty genius move, tbh.

Now you don't have to necessarily speak Spanish in order to enjoy Rosalía's songs, I think the beat of her songs does her justice. Better yet, Rosalía also features in a song by James Blake called "Barefoot in the Park." It is a beautiful song and I'll leave you to listen to it.

Rosalía recently released a song with J Balvin and El Guincho called "Con Altura." You better let this song flow and you'll be dancing any minute.

Given this, I think Rosalía is a dynamic artist because she is able to bring her own style into other artists' songs that are completely not-her-style. My favorite song out of her album is "Bagdad" which tells about a gypsy kind of girl who dances for Bagdad, which is a known striptease club in Barcelona. The melody is borrowed from Justin Timberlake's "Cry me a River."

Recently, Rosalía performed at Coachella along with J Balvin. She is currently doing an American tour and I wish I could see her, but the tickets sold out. Sigh.

Aside from Rosalía being a marvelous, unique singer, I think that she is a beautiful and humble artist who deserves more recognition. In a world where many artists attempt to be like the others, I think Rosalía is sparking up a revolution in the music industry.

That being said, it's time to update your Spotify and Pandora playlists and give Rosalía a listen!

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.
