A blog about whatever music happens to be stuck in my head. Updates weekdays.
Song: “Cuckoo”
Artist: Adam Lambert
Link: http://youtu.be/yII4mZbwWAU
Comments: Hey, guys. I’m sorry to say I don’t have anything to say today. I’ve been a bit of a recluse musically the last few days because life is being…well, life. This song, however, has still managed to keep itself stuck in my head. It’s more of one I would want to provide on a Friday to get you pumped for the weekend, but that’s not crucial. Here it is and happy listening.
90’s Week, Part 5 || Song: “Macarena” || Artist: Los del Rio || http://youtu.be/XiBYM6g8Tck ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/XiBYM6g8Tck]Comments: Aaaaah, I’m late again! I’m sorry! In return, have something incredibly catchy and smile-provoking! Honestly, I had no idea that the Macarena was from the 90s. In all fairness, I never really thought about it, so I don’t know when I thought it was from, but I hadn’t anticipated finding it on the 90s list. So, as I remember the awesome hair styles and fashions of the 90s, enjoy the song!
Song: “Scream and Shout” || Artist: will.i.am feat. Britney Spears || http://youtu.be/kYtGl1dX5qI ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/kYtGl1dX5qI]Comments: Happy Monday, folks! Let me preface this commentary by saying watch this video. Some of my comments might sound a tad negative, but watch the video. That being said, this song confused me. I feel as though will.i.am is still exploring his style as a solo artist, and this video feels like he was trying to go more hiphop than electro or pop. The iconography in the video seems to reinforce this. But I can’t really look at this song and say “Oh, will.i.am just wanted to go hiphop,” because he didn’t. There are so many styles in here, that I really can’t figure out what he was trying to do. But the glory of will.i.am is that he still managed to make the song sound good. And say what you will about his music, but he knows how to make a visually striking music video. As for Britney… why does she sound British? And is it just me, or is she channeling Dev?
Enjoy the song!
Song: “I Cry”
Artist: Flo Rida
Link: http://youtu.be/OLuWHr6-0YQ
Comments: Hey there! Happy Christmas Eve. Please don’t be deceived by the title of this song. It is actually quite upbeat. The one thing that I will say is that the beginning is a bit sad when Flo Rida talks about growing up in the projects and throughout the video as well. There are a lot of pictures of…you know what, I don’t want to spoil it. Please take the time to watch and appreciate the video. I hope that at least watching the beginning makes y’all feel thankful for what you have. #rantover Anyway, this techno beat has been getting stuck in my head off and on quite a few times. Even though the beat and the video are decent, I have to say that I’m not the biggest fan of the lyrics. I feel that he could have done a lot more with them. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy your holiday. Happy listening!
Song: “C’Mon”
Artist: Ke$ha
Link: http://youtu.be/rElZ85IofT4
Comments: Hey y’all. Here’s the latest from Ke$ha from her album Warrior that was released back in November. Unfortunately, the only video that is out for this single is the lyric video, but on the plus side it’s kind of trippy. I have to say that I like this new single of hers however, I’m just not used to this speed. The language and the meaning of the song isn’t any different than that of many of her other singles, but it doesn’t have that high energy and excitement that I was anticipating. Not to say that it’s a slow song by any means, but it is not “Die Young”. Like I said this video is a bit weird, but the drummer kittens are kind of cute. Happy listening!
Song: “Electric Shock”
Artist: 에프엑스_ (f(x))
Link: http://youtu.be/n8I8QGFA1oM
Comments: Happy Monday everyone. I came across this song today (some K-pop that isn’t from Psy) and I can’t help, but show it to you all. I am amused by the video and I haven’t heard of this group before this song. I think it’s amusing and I listened to a couple of other songs and the group is good. The group’s English name is f(x), it is comprised of all girls, and they are from South Korea. The group is relatively new being started back in 2009, but it would seem that hasn’t stopped them from being incredibly successful. This song was released back in June and has done well. I was going to translate things for you myself, but considering the only language I am confident in translating is Spanish here is a website that I’m hoping is accurate with the translation. I hope that the up beat tempo will brighten your morning. Happy listening!
