Some recent finds that I've really enjoyed are:
Songs from Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Roman Holiday- This song, causing quite a bit of stir during her Grammy's performance, actually strikes me as being very odd but just catchy enough to purchase. I really like the way that she raps towards the beginning of the song and I LOVE the beat of the song. I feel that I might owe my steering wheel an apology for slamming my hands to the beat of this song when I play it!
Pound the Alarm- This song is very similar to other songs of Nicki's including "Starships" but I really like pauses in songs and think this song is very catchy! I always find myself doing the inception "BURRRRRR" right before the robotic "Pound the Alarm" starts and then randomly dance during the crazy dubstep-esque chorus music plays.
Whip It- This is a piece of pop gold on the album. I, just yesterday, stated that I am usually in love with any song that involves a whip sound and this song fulfills that need! It is a very fun song and it's a good mix of Nicki's crazy rapping with her girly-pop self.
Automatic- This song sounds like a very close relative to "Turn Me On" or at least an attempt to recreate David Guetta's style. Although it does seem much like a clone, it too is very catchy. As I have noticed, I really like Nicki when she does the mainstream pop but I do also enjoy some of her more hip hop/rap style.
I also recently downloaded Madonna's MDNA and have to say that overall the album is not amazing... But, some of the songs are very catchy and a bit different from what's been on the radio (but some sound like copies of current radio).
My favorites would be:
"I Don't Give A..." feat. Nicki Minaj - Here's Nicki again! She saves the day in this song, I love the beat of the song and I think it would be okay without her, but I find myself anticipating her joining in on the song and feel like a superstar when I sing "See I really can't relate to your Volvo and you can't get the shoes down at Aldo"! I don't know how I find her so intriguing and fun but I do! The song itself seems like an attempt to recreate a "Walk This Way" vibe and, for me, it does!
Gang Bang -To say that this song is odd is the complete truth. It is kind of boring and a bit disturbing when first listening to it, but then I found myself mesmerized by the monotone mumblings of Madonna and had a day at work where I couldn't get the song out of my head!
I'm also a fan of Lovespend and REALLY love Girl Gone Wild except for the very stocatto singing technique that Madonna uses, showing her age as she tries to recreate her amazing Confessions On A Dancefloor album.
Other music to check out:
"Gold Forever" by The Wanted
"Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber (I don't have Bieber-fever but this song does have a Justin Timberlake-esque vibe to it that the world has been missing since he decided to do movies instead of music)
"Breathe" by Dev - This song is epic and I really enjoy Dev, although I'm not sure she does much but sort of talk/whisper.
"Think Like A Man" - Jennifer Hudson feat Neyo and Rick Ross - I was not a gargantuan J.Hud fan before this song. It really made me go back and try to find other songs I enjoyed which I did. I enjoy her!
"Better Than I Know Myself" - Adam Lambert - Not a huge Adam Lambert fan either, but this song is pretty amazing! I just heard some remixes of it on youtube last night and think that this song is pretty legit and want to get my hands on some of those!
Rihanna - Talk That Talk (Entire Album) - Enough said
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (Entire Album) - Enough said
That's a lot for one update and I will try to get the layout changed and to make the posts more fun, but it's Easter and I have to get dressed! Have a great one! Let me know if you hear anything great that I should hear! Much Love!
