Dada Life and The Dada Philharmonic Orchestra

Today I have music for you by Dada Life. I am super excited because this duo is going on tour and they are finally coming to my area! Dada Life is an act that I want to see so damn bad because they know how to put on a show. Some people think they know raves, some people go to raves, and then some people go to Dada Life concerts. Dada Life is a crazy act with fruit and champagne and hardcore dancing. This song is one of the more pumped up and playful Dada Life songs. This song is just so much fun to listen to because it makes you want to get up and dance. If this song got played in a club I would actually get so happy and so excited because it is just so much fun!  Now what is so cool about Dada Life is that they are totally and completely willing to experiment with their music. This song is definitely more on the house side of things, but this second instrumental song is their orchestral version of the first song. That is correct. Dada Life arranged and orchestral composition of their song and it is absolutely astonishing. This song sounds so beautiful and so spectacular as an orchestral arrangement and is a completely perfect rendition of the song. The string instruments turn this energetic and synth song into a smooth and relaxing and astounding performance. Even the vocals were done by the duo. The fact that these two crazy guys joined the orchestra and sang their part is incredible. This video is actually so awe striking because of how completely different it is from anything else we have seen or heard in a long while. I honestly can't tell you which one is better because I love both! 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!

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...

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....
