Artists I'm Obsessing Over and You Should Be Too
Upset Magazine

I love how effortlessly easy it is to just start my car up and flip through my programed stations so that I can jam to music as I drive to my destination. However, I think that what overpowers my love for this is the exasperation I have that the same seven songs are played on repeat for weeks on end no matter what station I happen to be listening to. How is it that we have thousands of talented artists in the world, but I only get to enjoy about ten of them if i decide to listen to the radio because I'm too lazy to plug my phone in and choose myself.

With this in mind, I decided to take it upon myself to search high and low for artists that aren't quite getting the recognition they deserve. I bring you some of the artists i'm currently obsessing over and I believe that you should be too.

1. Melanie Martinez

This 21-year-old American singer and songwriter started her journey of fame on season three of The Voice. She made it to the top six but was eliminated, however she didn't let that stop her from achieving her dreams. Her album Cry Baby dropped in 2015 and I've been obsessing over it and her since.

Favorite songs: "Pity Party", "Milk and Cookies", and "Mad Hatter"

2. Pvris

Pvris is an American rock band that consists of three members; Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, Alex Babinski, and Brian MacDonald.They started their career by releasing a self-titled EP in early 2014 and by November 2014 the released their first album, White Noise. Their music has a dark and beat-heavy sound to it.

Favorite songs: "Holy", "Mind Over Matter", and "My House"

3. Kat Dahlia

This cuban artist was born in Miami, Florida and music has always been apart of her life. Kat has been a rapper, singer and songwriter since the age of eight and moved to New York City at the age of eighteen to really pursue her career; she currently has two albums and two singles

Favorite songs: "I Think I'm In Love", "Crazy", and "Saturday Sunday"

4. Daya

Surprise: her real name is Grace Tandon. She is an American singer and songwriter that started her career in 2015 with the release of her first album. Usually first albums are a hit or miss but Daya's album features the song Hide Away which made it on Billboard Hot 100.

Favorite songs: "Sit Still Look Pretty", "Back To Me", and "Hide Away"

5. Alexander Jean

This band consists of two members, BC Jean and Mark Ballas; they met at a showcase in Los Angeles. Since meeting they released a single Roses and Violets which landed on iTunes overall chart as well as an album in 2016. They pride themselves on the fact that they write and create all of their music between the two of them.

Favorite songs: "Roses and Violets", "Whiskey and Morphine", and "Head High"

AI music threatens creativity

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
