Kindness Day is celebrated every year on November 13th. Why? Well, take a look around. See any? Exactly. Celebrating Kindness Day serves as a global initiative to promote a culture of understanding and generosity – and throw in some tolerance while you’re at it.
Kindness can take many shapes and forms: helping a neighbor, doing volunteer work, helping out a friend, or simply sharing a playlist filled with sweet songs and beautiful voices. You’re welcome.

“Just a Boy” by Alaina Castillo
Alaina Castillo is a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, and musician known for her work in the pop and R&B genres. She gained popularity through her covers – actually, check out her ASMR videos – on YouTube, and then signed with the record label AWAL in 2020.
She’s released several singles and EPs, showcasing her hypnotizing vocal style and modern sound with lyrics that try to find meaning in love, relationships, and -obviously – trust issues:
I know you said that you would never hurt me
But it’s not your fault
I still think the worst anyway, yeah, yeah
Let’s be clear, I know that I can trust you
When you’re under me, but tell me honestly
Unlike the sharpness of her lyrics, “just a boy” adds a single instrument with utmost subtleness. It’s her velvety yet crisp vocals that’ll absorb all your attention.
“Thank You” by Anthony Lazaro
Anthony Lazaro is from Genoa, Italy, where he showered in Italian influences from songwriters like Fabrizio De Andrè. This calmness that transcends his music is actually a result of his experimentation with genres and instruments.
He began a musical journey at a very young age, and there’s something about this track that resembles the gratitude we have when we’re little:
And I thank you for the
The little things
The kisses and the smiles
And I thank you for
Being the best part of my life
Embracing a boundless style, Lazaro experiments with ukulele pop, synth, drum machines, Latin grooves, and pop ballads. His music is a dynamic exploration that caters to listeners who appreciate life’s variety.
So, thank YOU!

There’s a love between us still
But something’s changed and I don’t know why
And all I wanna do is go home with you
But I know I’m out of my mind
In any case, it’s clear that this sweet and beautiful vocalist is something different and as her music is inspired by the ’80s and ’90s pop, you’ll always find an element of nostalgia in her songs.
