Ed Sheeran Is Overrated. There, We Said It.

We've got to talk about Ed Sheeran.

After receiving a PR email this morning with a subject line that read, "2017 IS THE YEAR OF ED SHEERAN," we had to stop ourselves from frankly, going off on Twitter.

Hailee Steinfeld Is Pop's Most Underrated Artist & Here's Why

Aside from our current favorite, Dua Lipa, we can confidently say that Hailee Steinfeld is one of the most underrated pop artists out today. There's no good reason Hailee shouldn't already be a household name, and here's why.

KATY PERRY - "BON APPETIT" - Will Katy Prove Us Wrong?

I'm conflicted. I love Katy Perry and what she's done in the world of pop music. After all, no one can deny that her Teenage Dream album is one of the best pop albums of (at least) the past decade. She has hits for days.

"Bon Appetit" is the complete opposite of the "purposeful pop" Katy had promised, and to be honest, I'm disappointed. Maybe it's because I know she can do better than this throwaway single and I think her fans deserve better. I want to see/hear Katy evolve. Now's the time and I would hope her supporters would agree.

I Caved & Finally Gave In To The Weeknd.

Since he debuted on the music scene, I've blatantly denied The Weeknd. I've refused to listen to him and discredited his success. He just wasn't it for me.

It made me angry that he seemingly tried to emulate Michael Jackson in a way which I felt wasn't good enough. As any MJ fan, I still feel very much affected by his untimely passing and I had this sense of bitterness that I couldn't quite shake -- especially when it came to someone trying to imitate him in such an obvious way.

For The Sake Of Self-Care

We put so much emphasis on promoting self-care, it’s starting to sound like just another buzzword or seasonal trend. Sure, it’s easy to throw up a quote on your Insta stories, but how many of us actually implement it? When it comes down to it, most of us aren’t taking time for ourselves, and we allow the excuses to pile up.

Do Yourself A Favor & Veer From Your Vision

From the moment we're little, to when post-high school adulthood strikes, we're inundated with the notion that we need to have it all figured out.

Think about your childhood: how many times were you asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Then, fast-forward to senior year of high school, and all of a sudden, you're expected to know exactly how to craft your future.

When I graduated high school, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew I was passionate about entertainment and music. When I got to college and chose Broadcasting and Mass Media as my major, I figured I'd end up…

The Cold, Hard Truth About Haters

Don't fall victim to the hater ideology. Sure, actual haters can exist within your life (or, as many people refer to them as: "fans"), but I'm not talking about those kind.

I'm talking about one type of hater in particular. One you might not even know is super close to you. One that's probably been with you your whole life, knows everything about you and creeps up at all the wrong times.

Comfort Zones Are Pointless & You Need To Get Rid Of Them... For Good.

Like almost everyone at the end of the year, I like to look back and reflect, before ringing in the next one. It seems like the thing to do, right? Growth -- no matter how big or small -- is impossible, unless you step outside of what you're used to.
