But despite his distinctive voice, he barely makes any musical contribution to the song. Regardless of this circumstance, likely the fault of the producer, the song deserves praise for its poetic lyrics. “Y me despierto con el concierto de tu cabello en el mio, y un sin fin de un ‘te quiero’,” sings Furtado, which...

Despite our society’s emphatic assertion that an objective standard of beauty exists, the concept is actually grounded in female inadequacy. Regardless of how many hours, dollars, and brain cells women spend, there will always be an un-pluckable hair, an un-erasable wrinkle, and an un-toneable ounce of cellulite to eliminate. The pursuit of beauty is eminently frustrating (and eminently profitable) for the very reason that it can never...
