Welcome to another week of OPOW, your personal Odyssey playlist that brings awesome songs! Some songs will be old. Some songs will be new. Overall, you’ll get five songs to listen to when you’re doing homework or laying in bed on a rainy day.

Here are your five songs to listen to this week!

Stellar “Sting”


Korean girl group, Stellar, made their return to the K-Pop scene with their new song “Sting.” The song is about questioning their lover if they still love or not. It’s pretty much trying to call their former partner out for acting like her still have feelings for them. This K-Pop track has a mix of 90s and house music, which makes it natural and catchy. If you like anything nostalgic 90s music and energizes you, Stellar will “Sting” you as your earworms (Worst. Pun. Ever.)

Zayn Malik “Pillow Talk”

And you thought he was gone for good. After departing from the group One Direction, Zayn Malik has made a solo debut with the song, “Pillowtalk”. This sensual R&B/dance track is about making love with your partner, feeling like both war zone and paradise. “Pillowtalk” brings such sexual awakening that you probably can’t dance along to it—with or without your significant other. If you’re looking for a song to play on Valentine’s Day, Zayn Malik got you covered.

Coldplay & Beyoncé “Hymn For the Weekend”


First collaboration of 2016! Off from their album A Head Full Of Dreams, alternative band Coldplay works together with the-one-and-only Beyoncé for their third song, “Hymn For the Weekend.” The song is about having a good time and spending time with your lover. “Hymn For the Weekend” contains basic pop sounds with great use of percussions and Beyoncé’s smooth vocals. Even though the song makes you want to sing a cover and post it on YouTube, their music video is facing Internet backlash for cultural appropriating Indian culture (this can be touched on for a different article) (http://www.buzzfeed.com/sahilrizwan/coldplay-and-b...). Although the music video is facing cultural appropriation backlash, take a listen to their new song and enjoy smoothness of it. Plus Beyoncé is in it. What could go wrong?

De La Soul “Me, Myself, and I”


Bringing the old school bask! Hip-Hop group De La Soul is known for their hit song, “Me. Myself, and I.” Sampling funk band Funkadelic’s “(Not Just) Knee Deep)” for the 1989 hit single, the song combines classic hip-hop with dry humor and social commentaries on their sound in a heavy mainstream hip-hop music. Member Trugoy sums up the meaning of the song as “being yourself, doing your own thing and not ever being afraid to do your own thing”(http://www.songfacts.com/facts-de_la_soul.php). So if you need motivation or a reminder to be yourself, De La Soul’s “Me, Myself, and I” will be the song for you.

Jennifer Hudson “Spotlight”


To finish this playlist off, let’s go to another throwback track with Jennifer Hudson’s debut single “Spotlight”. Her 2006 hit song is about being independent from a controlling partner. Her song spotlights, no pun intended, being strong and standing up to her lover who wanted to take her back. She mentions that if her treats her right, he wouldn’t have to worry about the break-up. If you want to feel independent this week, blast Jennifer Hudson’s “Spotlight” because that song is amazing. Just saying.

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.
