Bobby Green and Armin Van Buuren

Today I have an extremely fun song for you by the artist known as Bobby Green. I am absolutely in love with this song and Bobby Green as an artist. I won't lie, a major reason that I love this song is because of the vocalist Sean Michael Murray. But this song is such a nice change of pace from the bass and beat heavy EDM we hear nowadays. This isn't a song that has moments that make you stop and listen. You are captured from the beginning. The song is so well produced and is very crisp, while also foregoing the heavy beat drops in favor of something more delectable. The composition of this song is actually pretty simple! This song has a synth oriented and non complex beat, which means it works extremely well for the lyrical content of the song. Throw in the electronic dance beats, and you have a song that meshes the vocals and instrumentals in a seamless way. This song is wild and energetic and adventurous and a little bit mischievous and I love that! It bypasses the need that a lot of EDM songs have for a beat drop and a heavy bass and a very prominent beat. Bobby Green takes us immediately to the transcendent and dance stage of EDM. This is such a nice change and as soon as this song starts to play, I get lost in it. This is a song that has a pulse, and a fast one at that. It keeps you on your toes and gets you out in the world of the living. This song has such a smooth groove to it that you literally can't help but bop your head or bust out your favorite moves. Bobby Green keeps the instrumentals at a great balance with the vocals so that they sing to each other. It is almost like a back and forth between the vocals and instrumentals during the chorus, and become part of the same sound wave during the verses. Bobby Green takes us in a more melodic direction, which is why everything comes together so smoothly. The melody oscillates, but gives Sean Michael Murray enough space to really show off his vocals while Bobby Green shows off his own artistry. I have not been able to get enough of this song. I wish more music like this was being played at clubs and on the radio, because it is so energetic and fun and great to dance to. Bobby Green has such a great dossier of music, and this song is one that definitely stands out amongst the rest. Today's instrumental song is by one of my favorite trance artists, Armin Van Buuren. Armin Van Buuren is absolutely talented and a little underrated. But his music is one the best kinds of trance out there. I do know that trance has taken a huge backseat in the EDM world, but I can't forget how amazing that music is. 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....
