Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope that you all have had a good week. I originally had a Spanish song planned for today, but my friend and I were having a discussion at dinner that somehow led to Christina Aguilera and now I can’t get this song out of my head. This is an old one from Ms. Aguilera, but all too catchy. It also does a fantastic job at showing off the strength in her voice. I have to say even if her lyrics aren’t always clean her voice is. She is one artist that I will always admire for her vocals. I will provide a change up of genre on Monday, folks. Until then, happy listening!
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.
Comments: Happy Monday, all. I am bringing a little bit of P!nk into the light today because as I have received a lot of music for Christmas and her CD, The Truth About Love, was one of them. This song is a single off her album that hasn’t hit radio yet, and still has less than 100k in the way of views on Youtube, so you’ll be ahead of the game on this one! Furthermore, I am sharing this because it does a couple of things that I really like; one is that it shows of Pink’s voice a little bit more than some other songs. Wiki points out that it is more of a conversation than just a single perspective. As for the video, the couple is absolutely adorable (which is beside the point) but, I do like that the video was put in the perspective of the male instead of a female. Granted, she has her fair share in the video as well, but we get to see his point of view and him crying instead of the stereotypical girl view. If you all get a chance to listen to her CD I highly recommend it. She has some great up beat songs as well as some of her usual heart felt songs like this one. And for those of you like Eminem, he makes an appearance in her duet “Here Comes the Weekend“. Happy listening!
Comments: I have to admit, I’m not really a huge fan of Taylor Swift. Frankly, I think she’s over-hyped and under-performs, and she wears the same ‘shocked’ face when people show up to her concerts today as she did years ago. With that being said, I cannot get this song out of my head. It’s so catchy, and I just can’t get rid of it. So, if any of you readers have recently had a breakup, here you go — this song will probably be on your mind longer than your ex. Enjoy!
Comments: Well, I’m breaking the ‘all new stuff’ streak. “Kids” is definitely not a new song, but boy is it a good one. It’s catchy as all heck, and somehow comes out sounding cheerful despite the odd-at-best content. Just as a heads up, the video to this song is just plain weird, and gets a tad creepy after awhile. I suppose it’s a great “this is your brain on drugs” PSA…
Comments: Hello, all! I’ve been listening to this song quite a bit lately — since I got the Halcyon album as a gift, I keep listening to it on repeat, and I’ve decided that this song is worth sharing. Actually, the entire album is worth sharing, but this is the one I ended up picking. It’s a little less electronic and a little more folk than I think much of Ellie Goulding’s work is, and definitely more so than the songs she releases as singles. It’s a nice tune, a deep message, and fairly catchy. Enjoy!
