Does Language Of Music Matter?
We may not be able to understand exactly what people are saying across different languages, humans have evolved to share and express the same basic emotions in similar ways. This allows us to understand each other's facial expressions even if we don't share the same spoken language. So one does not “necessarily have to speak the language to enjoy the music”. For example, KPOP to Americans is considered weird. At first, for me, it was a little bit weird, but then I tried listening to the music. Music is a language that no other language control.

Stevie's Song

I stopped looking at shapes in the clouds and never noticed the whisper in the winds. Life was just passing me by. I was living in the fast lane with no speed limits. I took my family and friends for granted because I was more concerned with success and money, so my time was given to strangers.

LostBoyClay Has Been Building A Solid Portfolio of Music During 2021
LostBoyClay is a 17 year old hip hop artist based from Biddeford, Maine. As a kid he remembers getting a guitar one Christmas which started his passion for music. Then on his next birthday he got an ipod with a bunch of Eminem songs on it. Him being in a school band has pushed his expectations of just listening from the outside in from being a voice his audience wants to hear on the mic. In his youth he grew up listening to Eminem and 50 Cent and now idolizes the Juice WRLD, Drake and Yung Pinch.

Essential Rock Stories: Journey's Search for a Name
As the iconic rock band Journey approaches its 50 year anniversary, it's inevitable that many fans and critics will turn their eyes (and ears) to the group's origins five decades ago. The group has seen many changes since its formation in 1973, most notably the departure of lead singer and powerhouse vocalist Steve Perry in 1998. Perry provided vocals during the group's peak of fame in the early to mid 80's, when hits such as the anthem "Don't Stop Believin,'" romantic ballad "Open Arms," and infectious "Any Way You Want It" were dominating the airways and popular culture.

Music Carrier Fighting
Music Carrier Fighting Successful people are not successful because they are smart or talented, but because they are successful because they do the right things. Tom was ready to be an artist, but he wasn't ready to do what he was doing. He did the things he needed to do to move forward, but it was not successful and did not create a profitable and stable career over time.

Tay-K: Running the Race
Didn’t Beat the Case, Do the Race Taymor McIntyre, a young rapper out of Texas, (unfortunately) lived the life that he raps about in his music. After a home invasion in 2016, young Tay-K went on the run — evading a capital murder charge. This is partially because of the courts intent on trying him as an adult. The way the justice system holds black children to a different standard is so obvious, but that’s a quarrel for a different time.
