Aysha Dixon Opinion Editor R&B artist Summer Walker released her second studio album titled Over It on Oct. 3. The album, which includes the breakout hit Girls Need Love (Remix, includes a plethora of caption-worthy lyrics and legendary features. The Atlanta-born artist has a large following on social media, and used her platform to publicize the album from months prior to the release date. Walker released one single, Playing Games, in August but included an extended version featuring a verse from Bryson Tiller. The album's first song, also titled, Over It, begin with the line “Am I really that much to handle?”, as Walker reflects on relationships issues and insecurities. This song sets the tone of the entire album as a reflection of Walker’s need to weigh her options regarding love. Track five, Come Thru, samples the beat from Usher’s 1997 single You Make Me Wanna and a feature from the legend himself. Walker’s use of features throughout the album showcase her connections at Interscope Records, which she was signed to prior to her debut album titled Last Days of Summer. Walker shows off her ability to perfect short-lengthed songs with Fun Girl. In the one-minute and fifty-second son, Walker questions if her promiscuity is the cause of failed relationships. In the next song Tonight, Walker recants her questions by singing about the want to have consequence-free fun. Walker stays consistent with collaborative features from R&B artists 6lack and PARTYNEXTDOOR on Like it and Just Might. Her smooth, Southern accent is complemented by the slow, bass-heavy beats that she rap-sings over. Walker was apart of 6lack’s 2018 tour, From East Atlanta With Love. Both features make the songs conversational- like a phone call between a couple. Fans anticipated the 15th song, I’ll Kill You (featuring Jhene Aiko), being that Aiko is notorious for having scandalous song lyrics. Lyrics like “I'll go to Hell or jail 'bout you, boy” and “Please forgive me, I know that I'm stingy” emphasize Walker and Aiko’s chorus of waiting a long time “for a love like this”. I have not finished listening to the entire album, and will add more. .

ENG1121 Word Count: 1227 How Has R&B Music Transformed
Akinfeleye 1 Temi Akinfeleye ENG1121 4/5/2020 Professor Penner Word Count: 1227 How has R&B music transformed throughout time. Has R&B music changed over time? What happened to old school R&B? What is R&B music? R & B stands for “Rhythm and Blues” it was created in the U.S by black musicians. R&B music is also mixed with hip-hop,jazz and soul. Nowadays R&B music is the most played out music. Different discourse communities and societies play R&B music almost every single day. Although R&B music is played out, more artists keep on creating the same genre with R&B music. More consumers and audiences want more old school R&B music instead of new school. New upcoming artists are changing the definition of R & B music. They are changing the genre of R&B. For instance, artists think that R&B music is a fast beat or rap music. What they don't know is that R&B should be at a slow pace and should be a heartfelt song. Most R&B music is about love,relationships, and sometimes about life. Present artists today stick with the old school R&B music such as PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jhene aiko, Chris Brown, Usher, John Legend, Rihanna and Summer Walker.The most inspired old school R&B artists are TLC, Destiny's Akinfeleye 2 child, Ne-yo and most importantly Aaliyah. Aaliyah is called the princess of R&B, because all her songs were real R&B music. Although there are artists that have created their own type of R&B music, there isn't a specific author that created the genre “R&B”.

Gaming Scenarios: Making Sense of Diverging Developments
DOI:10.6531/JFS.2017.22(2).A15 ARTICLE .15 Gaming Scenarios: Making Sense of Diverging Developments Sascha Dannenberg Freie Universität Berlin Germany Nele Fischer Freie Universität Berlin Germany Abstract This article introduces Huizinga’s notion of the Homo Ludens as theoretical framework to gaming approaches in Futures Studies. This understanding of games as social functions, simultaneously representing reality and creating social structures, is then discussed in relation to scenario techniques. Finally, a scenario project from Berlin, Germa- ny is presented as case study, showing how gaming scenarios can engage participants in playfully thinking about and experimenting with futures. Keywords: Experiential foresight, Card game, Homo Ludens, Gaming, Scenario. Introduction Experiential Turn in Futures Studies What Futures Studies is (or should be) has been discussed along a divide between analytical and creative approaches right from the beginning (see e.g. Masini, 1993; Marien, 2002; Bell, 2003). Futures Studies would be understood either as science or as art, while many considered both approaches as being incompatible (see e.g. de Jouvenel, 1967; Bell 2003). However, in recent years the so-called experiential turn1 became prominent within Futures Studies. Experiential foresight combines analytical, creative and experimental approaches. It is based mostly on methods and techniques of interactive play (theatre, board games), experimental research (modeling, design), and different forms of immersive visualization (interactive videos, virtual reality) (Daheim, 2015). The development of experiential foresight can be seen within a context of changing demands on research in general and on Futures Studies in particular: For example, there is a rising emphasis on tangible outcomes as well as a stronger focus on motivation and realization of shared images of the future through stakeholder Journal of Futures Studies, December 2017, 22(2): 15–26 Journal of Futures Studies engagement (Daheim, 2015).
