The Amazingness of 9/21/2010

So, this week was a pretty great music week for anyone. There were 3 major releases for me this week and it's been a while since i've been excited about a full album being released! I will now share with you the magic of last weeks releases!

Maroon 5 - Hands All Over
An amazing new album from Maroon 5. Not only are
their first two singles amazing, but so are many other
songs on the album including "Stutter" and "Never
Gonna Leave This Bed"! I have been anticipating this
album for quite some time!

 Selena Gomez - A Year Without Rain
Although her first two singles from this album were deliciously dance-worthy and exciting, the album was a bit of a letdown. They released the correct singles to get her album sales up but they didn't impress much with the album. I do enjoy "Off The Chain", "Intuition", and "Spotlight"! If you listen carefully you can hear a lot of Ashley Tisdale-esque music on the album, and that's because her writers worked with Selena for this album. Interesting fact!



Shontelle - No Gravity
I wasn't really looking forward to this album as much as I was the other two, but this purchase is one of the greatest that I have made in a long time. I love almost every song on the album. My favorites are "Take Ova", "Helpless", and "Perfect Nightmare". She has grown a lot since her first album Shontelligence (which I did not purchase because it seemed to be all over the place). But I am happy that she got herself together and put out a great Dance album. Hopefully it will get the exposure it deserves!



There has to be more coming up! Check back! Until then.... Eat It Up!

VMAs

Soooo.... I don't know who watched the VMAs but they were pretty lame this year. But anyways, some music that i'm loving at the moment is

Shakira - Loca
I am really loving Shakira in spanish. I enjoy when she does what she does best and doesn't try to translate her lyrics from spanish to english. It's sexy, sassy, and has a great latin beat to it. I thoroughly enjoy!

Chris Brown - Dueces

I do not know how Chris always manages to make such amazing songs (and I always feel bad for enjoying them) but he always does so well! This song is addicting from the beginning and I cannot stop listening to it! His voice is amazing.

Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite
I am not just speaking about the song in this instance. This album is a legitimate statement that Kylie is not going anywhere anytime soon. I was not in the slightest a Kylie fan before this album, but I have now converted and am in love with where I have come to! The album is pure infectious pop and I think this album is wayyyyyyyyyyy under-promoted and has the potential to be a historic hit.



That's all I have for now peeps. Eat it up!

Back In Action!

It's been a bit since I last posted because I have gotten wrapped up in my summer job and with school starting up again but I have much music to share and a lot of stuff for you to Eat Up! Get ready...

UPDATE!

Songs of The Moment!

Rihanna - Only Girl In The World

An amazing step back to her more dance-friendly and happy sound. Although her Rated R stint was quite enjoyable it's nice to hear Rihanna not seeming so hardcore and letting her fun side flaunt freely!

(Rihanna's new album "LOUD" will be on shelves this November)

Selena Gomez & The Scene - A Year Without Rain

Selena Gomez has really shocked me with her extremely dance and radio friendly singles. I was very skeptical of her in the beginning but then blindly heard "Naturally" and fell in love. Then this summer I was exposed to "Round and Round" which somehow has only managed to peak on the Billboard Hot 100 at #24. That song is a hit! Now she is releasing the 2nd single from her new album (of the same name) which I feel has a lot of potential, but is unfortunately not as catchy as the songs that preceded. Still a definite play on my iPod!

Katy Perry - Peacock/Firework/Circle The Drain

Too be completely honest, I am overwhelmed at how amazingly Katy Perry's sophomore album has proved that she is not going anywhere anytime soon. I can listen to the whole album start to finish without a twinge of regret! The standout tracks (already counting the prior singles) are Peacock, Firework (3rd single from the album), and Circle The Drain. Peacock is ridiculously catchy fun that has an obvious innuendo that is a complete guilty pleasure. Firework shows off another very mainstream and skillful song selection for her 2nd album. It is a surefire hit single. Circle the Drain was released as a promo for the album and caught my attention immediately! I love how hardcore she sounds on the track and believe that it also has great potential to be a single. Overall I feel that I owe a nice little hand clap to Katy for a job well done on this amazing sophomore album.

This is all that I have time for at the moment but you bet I will have some fresh new goodies for you to taste soon! Until then... EAT IT UP!

Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

Miley Cyrus' 2nd artist release "Can't Be Tamed" is a jump into something a bit different for her. She is trying to sex things up and take herself to a more adult level. Unfortunately with Britney, Christina, and Lady Gaga whom she competes with, it's hard to see her as any sort of front runner. Some songs on the album which stand out for me are "Liberty Walk" "Who Owns My Heart" "Robot" "Stay" and of course the title track "Can't Be Tamed". While it is a fun listen, the album is at some parts  monotonous and i skip through the center of the album. I wouldn't tell you not to buy the album, I just think you need to know where you stand with Miley Cyrus before you purchase the album. Eat it Up!

Throwback Album!

Today's Throwback Album is Frou Frou's Details!

Every song on this album is a priceless piece of art which are good for rainy days, traveling, or mornings! Very calming and soothing! Gotta love some Imogen Heap! EAT IT UP!

Throwback Artist!

I've decided that Mariah Carey can be considered a Throwback Artist. Due to the fact that the old Mariah Carey and the new Mariah Carey probably don't even share the same DNA anymore. I am addicted to the old school Mariah who sang songs like "Honey" "Fantasy" "Always Be My Baby" "Dreamlover" ect! I do love a little new MC but oldschool is where it's at. So the album focus for this artist is the #1's Album. Pure genious (minus the shitty remix of "Fantasy". The original is a billion times better! That's All. EAT IT UP!

Not Myself Tonight

Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight" has finally premiered! I'm lovinnnnngg it! There are a few parts that seem a little bit off to me like the first few lines but I love the vocal intensity and the production! Polow da Don is pretty amazing. He also produced the very under-rated "Whatever U Like" by Nicole Scherzinger. Can't wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like! Ready for some new Christina. AND hopefully Christina will get smart and colaborate with Lady GAGA!

The song is not rumored to be released on iTunes until April 13th... so for now you must tune into http://www.christinaaguilera.com/ to listen!

Throwback Album!

Avril Lavigne's Let Go

Probably one of my favorite albums of all time, Let Go was Avril's first official release which spawned the hits "Complicated" and "Sk8r Boi". But, it is my firm belief that the songs that weren't released including "Things I'll Never Say" and "Anything But Ordinary" are some of the best songs on her album if not the best songs in her career. I never tire listening to this album and am impatiently anticipating her new album being released. It is said to be closer to her first album's style, which I have no problem with! Eat it up!

Leighton Meester - Your Love's A Drug

All I have to say is that I am in love with this song. It's short and sweet. Meester may not be the best vocalist or an amazing singer in general, but girl can put out some great music. Love it! Buy it on itunes!

Purchase "Your Love's A Drug" on iTunes!

Songs of the moment!

Ok peoples. I cannot think of much to do on here until I get my actual computer back so for now I will let you know what songs I am addicted to at the moment!

Train - "Hey Soul Sister"! Amazing song. It's one of those really catchy colbie caillat-ish songs that are always good time happy songs.

Selena Gomez - "Naturally (Dave Aude Remix)"! I refuse to purchase the original of this song because the remix is crafted so much better than the original, and although her voice isn't amazing, this song is quite addicting and is a good car jam!

Britney Spears - "Break The Ice (Manon Dave Mix)"! Not really sure why this remix was just now released on itunes considering the blackout album came out 2+years ago, but i'm addicted. The fact that it basically keeps most of the original song sounds intact makes it just an amped up version of the song which is a dancable snack!

Lady Gaga - "Telephone (Ming Extended Mix)"! Great Gaga Remix!!! I love the pumped up version of the second verse and how it doesn't linger and make you have to continuously anticipate the singing of the bridge or chorus. I also adore the way that it changes the music to a more hip hop beat when beyonce begins her verse. The seperating of the different parts of the song with the changes in tempo and beats always makes the song more delicious. Also the crossover parts of all the different chorus parts and interludes makes the end great.

Well Kids, that is all I can think of to dish about now, so until next time. Eat it UP!

Welcome!

Welcome to my newly created blog of amazingness! I was told by a friend that it might be interesting for me to start a blog giving my opinion on music and giving information on new and amazing songs. I, being obsessed with music, felt that this would be something interesting to look into. So here I leap into the blogosphere! I'm gonna need more time to get my crap together to start leaving the official posts but I felt that this would be a good time to share something amazing with you!
