Charice and Meet The Robinsons

Today's song of the day is by a Youtube sensation who was discovered by Oprah.Charice Pempengco is a girl who grew up in the Philippines and was brought on Oprah for her outstanding voice and vocal range. She has performed all over the world with people such as Celine Dion and David Foster. Her voice is so incredible and even if you don't like the song, you can't deny how beautiful her voice is. And considering the way she was discovered and her repertoire, it is safe to say that this is one talented chick. Charice has incredible control of her voice when she switches ranges and her vocal trills are positively amazing. Charice also has one of the most powerful female vocals of her age. Seriously, this girl knows how to belt and sing loudly and proudly. Her voice is so strong even with the higher ranged notes and it is crazy to hear her do that! Now this song features a sort of one hit wonder artist. Iyaz did have one song that really made radio airplay for a while. But believe it or not, that song is terrible compared to this one. His duet performance in this song shines way above his radio hit. In this song we get to see a little bit of a more playful and fun side of Iyaz, rather than the typical pimp sound that sometimes arises with rappers. These two harmonize really well and I was very impressed with Iyaz as well as Charice. This is actually my favorite song by her to date, and hopefully it will be clear as to why. Even though people don't know her name, Charice is an incredible talented singer and a successful performer. Today's instrumental song of the day is something a little bit fun and upbeat and definitely quirky. This song is from the movie Meet The Robinsons. I am telling you, this is one of the best non-Disney animated movies ever. This movie is spunky and hilarious and meaningful and inspirational and downright fun. Everything from the character development to the writing to the music makes this movie such a phenomenal one. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Kongos and Beastie Boys

Today's song is a really cool one out of South Africa by the band Kongos. There are so many awesome things happening in this song. For example the first sounds you hear is this really sick accordion work, and yes, these guys made the accordion look even cooler than any other musician out there has. I love the way they use the accordion and the tone of it. And then you hit the chorus which has these really strong vocals and you get the feel from the multiple voices with these sweet guitar licks and such a loud presence with the electric guitar. This song just kicks some major ass! Today's song is by the Beastie Boys, and is one of my favorite songs by them. For those of you who don't really know the Beastie Boys, you may recognize this song from Star Trek. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Ima Robot and Tame Impala

Today I have a song for you by the band known as Ima Robot. Many of you will recognize this song because it is used in the show Suits. Disclaimer, Suits is a wonderfully fantastic show and I highly recommend you go watch it. Anyway, this song has a really cool and suave feel to it. It has that artsy urban grunge to it which I really like. It is a different way of performing rock music and takes you back to the 90's style of music. This song has a really cool charm to it because a lot of the song falls on the support of the bass guitar over the drums. The bass guitar serves as a secondary percussion to the rest of the instrumentals. It is actually kind of awesome how simple the instruments are in this song because when you bring the together you hear a really sick song. The main instruments are of course the bass guitar, tambourine, drums, and keyboard. Nothing else makes an appearance and I like it that way. The music in this song is so structured but so laid back at the same time.

Zayn Malik and Interstellar

Today I wanted to give a shout out to an artist who is both very famous and very underground. Most people know him as Zayn Malik, that guy who was in One Direction but left the band. So a little background, Zayn Malik was one of the five members of the famous boy band, One Direction. His departure from the band was all over the news last year, and I wont' lie, I felt bad for him. Not because he left the band, but because of what that meant for him in the public eye. It marked him as a huge target for papparzi and press, and I just feel so bad for him because he had to live in that public eye for so long. Which is one of the reasons why he wanted to leave. To live his life more quietly. So that of course, is a consequence of his level of fame. But on the other hand, we have his more quiet and surprising side. Zayn Malik is due to release his debut solo album this year, and I have to say, I am very excited! His voice is one that is meant for R&B and soul, for hitting those more e
