A Review Of Nathan Sykes' "Unfinished Business"
Celeb Mix/Enya Savage

Nathan Sykes just released his album, Unfinished Business, on November 11th of 2016. From the beginning to the end, his talent and sound are made obvious. The first track, “Good Things Come To Those Who Wait” shows just how brilliant a vocalist Nathan is from the strong chorus to the ridiculously remarkable riffs at the end of the song. The flow of the album starts at high and smoothly progresses to more mellow and heartfelt end, but each song keeps your attention in a different way.

“Money” features upbeat trumpets and a great beat with a breakdown of heavy bass drops. Nathan has a great skill in story-telling, especially in “I Can’t Be Mad”, with his soulful voice and beautiful piano melody. The strength of his voice can really be heard throughout this song.

The ninth track, “Give It Up” features G-Eazy and is the type of song you’d hear at a party. The steady beat and G-Eazy’s verses make for a great song to play in the car or around a group of friends hanging out.

“Twist”, “Kiss Me Quick”, “Money” and “Give It Up” are Nathan’s more danceable songs. They’re fun and upbeat. These are the songs you play on a road trip or when you’re trying to have a good time.

“Tears In The Rain”, “Burn Me Down” and “I Can’t Be Mad” show Nathan’s more emotional side, with strings providing a gorgeous sound in “Burn Me Down” and the beautiful piano melody in “I Can’t Be Mad” that only adds to the song.

Overall, the album is an amazing starting point for Nathan Sykes’ solo career. His talent and sound are really defined throughout the album. I'm sure fans everywhere are excited about his album and, like myself, have trouble choosing a single favorite track. But overall, Nathan’s career is off to a fantastic start. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for Nathan and his career as a solo artist.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
