Jay Park and Stevie Wonder

Hey music family, it has been quite a long time since I have posted any music from around the world. So today I decided to go with a song that is not only really good, but extremely catchy. This is the kind of song that you won't be able to get out of your head and it is definitely the kind of song you don't want out of your head. Jay Park is honestly one of the biggest Korean heartthrobs. He can sing, dance, and rap, not to mention he is quite a spectacular looking man. Jay Park's music is absolutely amazing because each song has a certain kind of theme associated with it. This song has this Michael Jackson kind of vibe to it, something a little bit groovy while still being a good song to break out into some hip hop. What I also really like about this song is the flawless and seamless integration of Korean and English. A lot of times we get songs that are a mix of English and another language, but they don't always flow smoothly. But Jay Park knows how to work his way around making these two languages flow well. This is that kind of feel good song that you listen to when you are just doing your own thing and going with the flow of whatever is happening at the time. Because of the funk aspect that comes with this song, it doesn't become a simply bright dance track. Instead, we get a little bit more oomph that will really appeal to people who aren't really into dancing. Jay Park does a stellar job with this tribute-like song to Michael Jackson, and has to be one of my favorites off the album. While it is a more well known song by him, I think it is slightly safe to say that many people in general don't really know who this suave singer is. I definitely recommend checking out his work. It spans so many different styles and each one is executed pretty damn well. Today's instrumental song is a groovy track that doesn't quite fall into the category of Micheal Jackson styled music. However, this song is a very popular one and is honestly a classic. I for one am in love with this song, especially since it can change my mood from somber to extremely happy and bright. Stevie Wonder really is an incredible artist and continually seems to blow us away with his talent. 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
