Chris Brown & Band Baaja Baraat and Gunday

Today I have music for you that is a really nice cross of genres. Bollywood music is known to be very energetic and very good for dancing. This song is really sick because it mixes the beats of Bollywood with the crunk of Western hip hop. I have to say, this remix is one of the best things I have heard. It mixes a very popular Bollywood song with one of the most popular hip hop songs from the past five years. What I love about this song is that there is an equal presence of the hip hop and Bollywood songs. A lot of time with remixes, we have to deal with one song overshadowing another. But with this song, we get a really awesome combination of the two. What the DJ does in this song is use the instrumental parts of the Bollywood song to serve as background music for the rap verses. The rap is sped up to match the beat, but it honestly does not sound bad at all! This is a song that you can definitely get really crunk to! It just has that really fun and dance vibe to it. Today's instrumental song is from a Bollywood movie called Gunday. While I have not seen the movie, the song is really fun and energetic. This is another song that is good for dancing. This song has gotten popular in the world of Indian dance crews and there has been some sick choreography to go along with this song. 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....
