iHeart Memphis and Rej3ctz

Today I have some newer music for you! Now it has come to my attention that there is a new dance out there, the successor of the whip/nae nae. Now this song has recently become a viral phenomenon. I mean there are videos all over YouTube of people making parodies, performing, and teaching this dance. So I guess we have moved onto bigger and better things, right? Now this song is by iHeart Memphis, and if you are like me, that name means nothing to you. I had never heard of this artist until I saw a video for the dance to this song. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks as to why this song got so popular. Because it is one of those that has an easy dance to go with it, something a great majority of people can do. Am I working on it? Of course! I mean I want to be able to do it when the song comes on at the club, right? Anyway, this song is definitely similar to all the other songs out there that have dances to go along with them. But I won't lie, there is a certain level of swag that accompanies this song. Even more so than the dance in my opinion. I can't really make a definite opinion as to whether or not I am a fan of this dance or not. I mean yes I want to learn it, but I don't know if I will be as fond of it as I am with The Dougie or Whip/Nae Nae. What about you all? How do you feel about this dance move in particular? Today's instrumental song has to follow up the first song because songs like the first one are starting to get hype. This song is by Rej3ctz and saw a lot of popularity when it first came out. This was a dance that got really popular a few years ago and surprisingly enough, I still see it! This is one of the easier ones for sure, especially if you have those strong leg muscles. Anyway, 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
