A Review Of The xx's New Album
Red Bull

The xx released their third album I See You on Jan. 13 and it is worth listening to. I've been playing this album on repeat and you should be too.

It has been five years since the release of their second album, but the band's tone is still recognizable. Throughout the new album, you can hear the dreamy duets, hushed vocals, and signature guitar patterns that we know and love.

This album sounds different due to the band's now famous DJ genius, Jamie xx. During the gap between the band's album releases, Jamie Smith released his solo album In Colour. He was nominated for the Grammy Award Best Dance/Electronica Album in 2016 and Best Music Video for Gosh in 2017.

In case you haven't seen it, here is Loud Places by Jamie xx. This guy is talented and his style has influenced songs like Dangerous and Lips in I See You.


At the end of Nov. 2016, the xx gave us a taste of their new album by releasing the music video for On Hold. It's the only new music video we have so far, but I trust that the band has more on the way. My favorite songs are A Violent Noise, Say Something Loving, and Dangerous so I would love to see what they could come up with for those music videos.

Along with releasing an album, the band announced tour dates across the US, Canada, South America, and Europe. I've already bought my tickets because I'm sure they are fantastic live.

If you want proof, here is a video of the band doing karaoke to their song Say Something Loving in Tokyo. They aren't even on stage and they sound amazing.

The band also covered Drake and Rhianna's Too Good in BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge on the date they released their new album.


Check out the album and you won't regret it. As contradicting as it sounds, it is an album you can dance or fall asleep to. That's why I love the xx.

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.
