Keeping It Fresh

After a very long time of not posting this genre of music, I have finally decided to post a country song! I don't know if that is a good or bad thing for you all, but we will see....This song is by a group called Little Big Town, and they really have that traditional country western style. With great glissandos and incredible harmonies, this song really shows its home pride. A pretty catchy tune to be quite honest! Today's instrumental song comes from the movie The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.I know, it is your pretty generic cowboy/Western theme, but hey, whats not love? I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!   

So today's song is actually a mashup done by and incredible a capella group called Penn Masala. A capella groups don't get a lot of attention so I give them the spotlight! Now what I love about this group besides their obvious talent is the way they mash up cultures as well. I mean the first song is one everyone recognizes because its by Coldplay, but the second song comes from a Hindi film. I think they mashed these songs up so well and I have to say to Penn Masala, you are phenomenal and outstandingly talented! Today's second song is going to be the original of the Indian song that is featured in Penn Masala's work so you can compare the two! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by an internationally formed band called The Boxer Rebellion. Now I know I have been posting more mellow music lately, but this song is just incredible. The vocals are beautifully low and softer than most other bands. The music in the background is so beautiful and it is quite unique. I love the guitar work that goes on in the background because it is almost eerie but warming. This is one of the songs I imagine myself staring at or driving during the sunset or letting the rain wash over me. Yeah, it is one of those songs. Today's instrumental song comes from the movie Oblivion which was scored by M83. This song is just phenomenal, and I really hope you listen to the entire soundtrack because it is mind blowing. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by a band from England called Keane. This song is one of the greatest and sweetest songs I have heard. The vocals are very beautiful and has this unique quality to it where it has a very soothing sound with a slight grit to it, but also has this different strength. And of course the accompanying music is just incredible, with great melodies and perfect balance. Today's instrumental song is from the movie Dying Young. I haven't seen the movie, but I did love the score for it! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today is all about that electro music. This first song is by Markus Schulz and I have to say it is pretty damn incredible! It has a trance sound to it but also has this Middle Eastern sounding flair to it which makes it even crazier! I am not a huge fan of the vocals, but they go well with the song. Today's instrumental song is by Deorro. This is just an awesome and energetic song that has a pretty sick drop! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by a band called Leagues. Something that makes this song so great is the heavy bass guitar line that is used. It is so nice to hear more of that underlying bass and to finally have some bass melodies! This band is similar to other artists out there, but it is also so different. The vocals are very unique, and I haven't heard many bands except for maybe Phoenix that have vocals like these. All in all, awesome song with some nice drumming going on. Today's instrumental song is kind of random and comes from the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by a band out of England called The 1975. What I love about this band is the ethereal sound mixed with a just enough synth. I am in love with the vocals that the lead singer belts out, especially when he does so in a beautifully haunting way. This band, while modernized, has a focus on discovery of abstract concepts which was the basis of rock when first created. It is just so perfect the way they combine the earliest forms of rock with all the involvements of the genre. I highly recommend checking this band out because they are phenomenal! Today's instrumental song is a version of an incredible song by OneRepublic. Lets be honest, they have some of the most beautiful and energetic music ever! Ryan Tedder is a musical genius! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
