Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright' Is Our Song of the Summer
A bright spot on an otherwise bleak album, Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” instantly feels necessary. Besides being the most celebratory jam on To Pimp a Butterfly, it’s a modern-day liberation anthem.

Here's Gwen Stefani's New 'Feminist' Track 'Spark the Fire'
Earlier this month at the Odd Future Carnival, Pharrell previewed a bit of this Gwen track and said it was "about feminism."
