Janelle Monáe Explores Sexual Liberation in "Screwed"
According to Janelle Monáe we're all screwed so why not just accept it and have a damn good time? Monáe's funk-inspired song "Screwed" featuring Zoë Kravitz is the millennial's pop anthem and response to Post-Election America. Monáe's third album Dirty Computer,which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 Chart, is filled with funk, pop, and hip-hop tracks that differ but collectively represent liberation, breaking societal norms, femininity, sex, and power.

Ariana Grande Finds Her Inner Goddess in "God is a Woman"
Don't be fooled by the title of the song. If you were expecting a song that was pious, then you must not know Ariana Grande. "God is a Woman" is anything but pious but gives Arianators the perfect song to vibe to on a night in with a lover, or a night out with the girls. "God is a Woman" is a song packed with sensual and provocative lyrics that not only shocked fans but made those who worship her, worship her even more. "God is a Woman" is Grande's third single from Grande's fourth album Sweetener, and despite its religious title, the song goes into depth about Grande's temptations and desire for her lover being so strong that after a sexual encounter the lover will believe that God is actually a woman. Grande sets the scene with lyrics like, "My one, it lingers when it's done, you'll believe God is a woman."

Lowkey Country Bangers
Sometimes you're driving along, and you're feeling super happy. You want to get hyped by the music that's blasting from the aux cord. Other times, you're in the mood to be slow and sad. Whether it's the car, the porch, or at work, we can't always be listening to pop or depressing songs.

The Sexiest Songs of All Time You Need to Hear. Top Story - June 2018.
Songs can have a variety of emotions that they impart on a listener. Rage, joy, hope, sadness, and even that eerily unsettling calm that can only be gotten once in a blue moon can be found in the right track.

Between the Lines - Part 1
I happened upon this song by accident one day when "YouTube surfing" and I was instantly drawn in by the words and beat that was beautifully intertwined. At times that I have listened to it over and over again, I was stuck between two possibilities. Could this be about a rough breakup, or losing a loved one to the cold clutches of death? However, the more I have thought into it, it could easily be both.

Song Analysis
There are songs that get a person into their feelings. Feelings of sadness, hopefulness, happiness, and the feeling to be loved. HONNE’s “Warm On A Cold Night” is a song that displays the affection between a man and a woman. The lyrics as well as the music production shows love in a different light.

Last Week in K-Music
This is a little late this week, but it's here nonetheless! Here are some gems from last week in Korean music! Remember a few weeks ago when Teen Top had a comeback and I was over the moon excited? That's how I was when I received a YouTube notification of this gem. C.A.P is a slower rapper than a lot of rappers in the industry, but it really works for him. I always found it charming. This track allows his voice and talent to shine. The track is almost cosmic, soothing like looking at the night sky without light pollution. As a long-time fan, I'm definitely proud of how wonderful this song is.
