Echo-pella: Songs To Feel Yourself To

Because sometimes you just need to feel sexy and beautiful.

Welcome to another edition of Echo-pella, readers! It’s now the middle of the year, July 1st. As you reflect on what you’ve done for the past 6 months, how do you feel? Do you feel accomplished? Happy? Or maybe it’s disappointment that you haven’t been yourself as of late? Maybe tough exams or social life has made you feel a bit down. In any case, what you need is a confidence boost. Something that recharges your brain and makes it say “I’m going to succeed”. In other words, you need something that’ll make you feel confident and even sexy.

Describing something as “sexy” doesn’t always refer to sexual appeal, by the way. It can also refer to something very exciting or appealing. And if that’s something that you feel the need to embody at the moment, we’ve got a playlist of songs for you to feel yourself to, whether you need a boost to your self-confidence, and yes, a boost in sexual confidence as well. It’s time to love yourself, people!

The lab, belonging to the research company BioIntel, had previously been under suspicion of conducting unethical “tests” on humans. Their goals have since been exposed. While previously branding themselves as simply an organization interested in the study of the human ability, we can now say for certain that the labs’ true purpose was to produce “superhumans”. Each year, men, women and children were captured and subsequently held captive, forced to consume dangerous chemicals in order to induce the creation of superhuman abilities. Products of this research can be seen in recently seized bioweapons: Humans made to kill.
