20 Albums Worthy of Grammy Recognition
Thirteen

Every year, we receive insane amounts of records from the biggest artists in the game. Even so, underrated artists evolve into stars throughout the year. We see artists come and go, but the best come to stay. The Grammy's are here to highlight the year's best achievements in the industry. It focuses on the diverse talent and music coming from these artists. Growing as a musician in this industry only makes the artist more creative and open to new ideas. Obviously, its a fact that every album released at least deserves some recognition with a shiny Grammy. Unfortunately, not all get recognized. Here's a quick list of a few records that should at least get one nomination, if not more.

1. "Divide" - Ed Sheeran

Just a tad bit weaker than his past albums, but still one of this year's strongest records. It still made me cry. Even as an 18-year-old man, Ed Sheeran never fails to make me tear up. Looking forward to "Subtract", if he does continue to finish up the 4 mathematical signs.

2. "Melodrama" - Lorde

A beautiful artistic world that she lets us enter. From start to finish, you're an entirely different person.

3. "American Teen" - Khalid

This guy should be president, enough said. (No pun intended)

4. "Rainbow" - Kesha

Passionate, raw vocals and you feel exactly like she does, free.

5. "DAMN." - Kendrick Lamar

Lyrical genius since the beginning, speaking the truth about what is actually happening in the world.

6. "CTRL" - SZA

Who would've thought that a computer button would inspire a title for a record which makes a person feel like a badass?

7. "I See You" - The XX

Yeah, "sees me" dancing like a maniac at the club to this record.

8. "Flower Boy" - Tyler the Creator

Tyler created something magnificent out of the ordinary with this one.

9. "Humanz" - Gorillaz

Grammar police would be triggered with the 'Z' in the title but the music deserves all the recognition on the planet. ICONS!!

10. "Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1" - Calvin Harris

Nothing like his old stuff, but its funky and wavy. Gives off some 80's vibes that bounce off on the dance floor.


11. "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom" - Halsey

Halsey is a storytelling professional, and this album is no short of emotion, power, and stories.

12. "Wonderful, Wonderful"- The Killers

Killing the game one track at a time for sure.

13. "4:44" - Jay-Z

Beyonce must feel like a proud wife right now. A full, dark album, he unleashed.

14. "Everybody" - Logic

Logic speaks for those who don't want to speak about real issues.

15. "Memories... Do Not Open" - The Chainsmokers

Well, it was worth the opening

16. "Harry Styles" - Harry Styles (Self-Titled)

Leaving One Direction was the best thing for Styles. Now, he can explore his own style.

17. "dont smile at me" - Billie Ellish

Shes only 15 and doesn't care about what anybody says, her lyrics are really honest.

18. "Digital Druglord" - blackbear

'do re mi' is the song that you wish you used to shade your ex in all the best ways.

19. "Dua Lipa" - Dua Lipa (Self-Titled)

This album is heartwarming and adorable.

20. "LANY" - LANY (Self-Titled)

Hands down, this is the perfect breakup album, if there ever was such a thing.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
