5 Amazing Albums From 2017's Top Female Artists You NEED To Listen To

Every year it seems that music gets better and better. Artists are always switching up their styles, and evolving in a really cool way. From amazing collaborations to some straight up bops, 2017 was definitely a notable year for music. Of course, we have to applaud the amazing, talented, and hardworking females in this industry. Let's be real- for the most part, they're all pretty dope. Here are 5 of my favorite female albums from 2017:

1. "ANTI" - Rihanna

From Work to Desperado, all the way to Love On The Brain-this album had us feeling every type of emotion. It seems that every album Rihanna releases is better than her last. And since she's been around for so long, we really get to see how she grows as an artist.

2. "Melodrama" - Lorde

It always confused me as to why so many people disliked Lorde when she first came into the music scene. Just because she was a bit more theatrical with her performances and acted "weird" doesn't change the fact that she's an amazing artist. And with her new album Melodrama, Lorde really showed off her songwriting skills, as well as some beautiful ballads.

3. "hopeless fountain kingdom" - Halsey

Halsey is easily one of my favorite artists out there, so I was super excited about her new album. She has some pretty cool collaborations on here, with artists like Quavo and Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony. Halsey recently just finished the first installment of her world tour for this album. Do ya thang girl.

4. "Ctrl" - SZA

alk about a debut album! SZA came from nothing and made her name well-known. If you love R&B, Ctrl is an album you have to listen to. Her lyrics are relatable and you just want to sing along to every song. SZA just received five Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. Seriously, don't sleep on her.

5. "Lust For Life" - Lana Del Rey

To be honest, I have to be in a certain mood to listen to Lana. Her music has that sort of dreamy vibe to it, and sometimes it's too slow for me. But her new album Lust For Life has some good beats and I've listened to it one too many times. Summer Bummer is a personal favorite of mine on this album, but all of the songs are worth listening to.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
