Chris Malinchak & Mikky Ekko and Michael Jackson

Today I have music by a DJ known as Chris Malinchak and features one of my favorite vocalists, Mikky Ekko. Chris Malinchak got some acclaim with his first big song and I can see why. This guy has really great talent in instrumentation and song production. The style of this song is so charming and has a great energy to it. This song sounds like what Michael Jackson hitting the electronic scene would sound like. Everything about this song captures the groovy disco and hip hop feel that Michael Jackson mastered and made his own. I could not stop dancing to this song no matter how many times I put it on repeat. Chris Malinchak has done a remarkable job with the instrumentation. The way he makes this song sound like a house song but also very funky is just genius. I honestly can't help but think that Michael Jackson had a great influence on this song. The moment Mikky Ekko opened his mouth to sing, all I could think about was how similar this sounds to 80's Michael Jackson music and how brilliant of a tribute style piece this is. The synth and bass guitar are used greatly as they were in the 80's and the synths are used to create that really funky sound mixed with pop. The need to dance and the happy energy is so infectious and contagious. Mikky Ekko was a great vocalist choice. He captures the Michael Jackson style of singing incredibly well. There is something almost sexy about the way Mikky Ekko sings this song. There are elements of vocal hiccups and that breathless nature to the song and the way he sings it. I am slightly obsessed with how amazing this song is and how well it pulls out the funk that we have been missing for a while. No one has been able to replicate the sound and feel that Michael Jackosn created except for Chris Malinchak. Kudos and bravo to you sir! This song is actually perfect and I would not change a single thing about this song. The beats are great, the diverse use of synths to make melodies and harmonies is absolutely fantastic. Mikky Ekko utilizes his astounding voice to make a groovy feel and uses that smoothness in his voice to make it flow. Just brilliant! And since this song is very reminiscent of the King of Pop, today's instrumental song is a version of one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs. This song has such a great meaning to it and it is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. This song is a danceable hard rock sound that can literally only be pulled off by Michael Jackson. I haven't heard anyone else try to attempt this style and this is probably because they know that this is one of a kind. This song has that groove that we all loved about Michael Jackson and this song has the ability to be danced to as MJ so graciously shows us. We love and miss you so much! There will never be anyone else to match you and your 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!

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....
