Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Emissary Beats

Today I have some foreign music for you, straight from the world of Bollywood. This song is really cool because it features sounds from bhangra and Western styles. This song is just so much to dance to and listen to. As someone who is an avid dancer, this song will be hard to sit still to. This definitely uses fast paced bhangra beats as the basis of the song. Honestly without those beats the song would not have much life to it. But of course the Western influences are very prominent. From the beginning, all you really hear is the electronic work going in but then when it gives way to the awesome bhangra, the song gets so wicked. This song is just so much damn fun! The beat is at the right speed to where you can dance in beats of 2 or dance immediately on the beat. Once the song really gets into swing, the electronic work doesn't even sound bad! It actually really compliments the song because it provides filler music to connect the bhangra beat to the melody of the song. But this song really does let the Bollywood and Indian sound take control. This song is also slightly amusing which is always a bonus. Yes this song does use quite a bit of English, but there is also enough Hindi in it so that the song flows. The actor who dances in this song is also a huge bonus for us ladies out there. But going back to the music, this song does have a really good flow to it. You can come up with some sick routines to this song and if you decide to, let me know! I would love to check it out. Anything from hip hop, Bollywood fusion, bhangra, or even raas, this song can accommodate. If you are looking for something lively and energetic and good to dance to, this is the song for you! Today's instrumental song is really cool because it is electronic bhangra. Not bhangra with some electronic lines but a remixed bhangra song. And it is pretty darn wicked! This song is definitely a cool one and has this suave feel to it. This is something you would hear at an Indian dance club, which for the record would be absolutely phenomenal. But this has a lot of dubstep influences which is not a problem for me at all! We get the dhol and the flute work which sounds pretty darn sweet. This is definitely something very different and unique compared to what I have heard in recent months. 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....
