Justin Bieber and Thomas Jack

Today I have some new music for you. I totally have been slacking on the posting, I know. Let me tell you, it has been quite the roller coaster ride these past few days. But hey, I got some new music for you, and hopefully you will all enjoy! This song is actually the newest release by a very well known artist. Justin Bieber has been quite the topic of discussion for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. I mean look at his past history, and you may understand why he has been the victim of many a criticism.However, I have to say that in terms of music, I have heard nothing but progression. Justin Bieber has evolved from a pubescent teenage pop-singer, into an artist who has started to define his musical style. I can easily characterize Justin Bieber as an R&B artist with the flair for touching the EDM world. Which we get to hear in this song. He takes on an alternate route with this song, opting for something more chilled out rather than the standard bass boosted kind of sound. In fact, Justin Bieber takes a really nice spin on tropical house music. He is able to mold it and craft it into something that is very much his sound, but also completely fresh and new. I think this is part of his mission to reinvent himself as both a person and artist. Which does not seem like such a bad thing to me, considering how good this song is. We get a little of our Kygo fix, while also allowing this to have some more R&B feel to it. Justin Bieber did recently work with Jack U, which gave him the chance to create his mark and put his foot in the door for opening up to the EDM world. And to be quite honest, if Justin Bieber is able to keep this up, I think it could be a great path of evolution for his music and sound. Today's instrumental song is by a lesser known tropical house artist by the name Thomas Jack. I really like his sound because he is able to give us that nice tropical sound without making it sound like every Kygo song out there. For a lot of artists, that specific style is how they validate their tropical house sound. But Thomas Jack does twist it and comes up with his own version of tropical house which I thoroughly enjoy. 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....
