Keeping It Fresh

Today's song features an up and coming English artist by the name John Newman. His voice is one of those easily distinguishable ones because it is so unique. I personally think his voice is a mix of Adam Levine's and Andy Grammer, both of whom have very unique voices. I love the beat and the sound that this song has. It is very energetic and has a great melody. Today's instrumental song is actually a remixed version of this song. What makes this so great is that John Newman's voice and song style allow this to be a great remix. Kove did a magnificent job with this remix and honestly, I like it better than the original! But then again, the two songs may be the same, but they are also so different and fall into two different genres! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is an interesting collaboration done between two phenomenal bands. Maroon5 brings an element of pop and soft rock to this song while Lady Antebellum brings a sweet country sound. The two vocals mesh so well and blend beautifully together to create a romantic sounding piece. This song relies heavily on the vocal talent and guitar/piano work that these bands have. Today's instrumental song is from the movie Legends of the Fall. It has a beautiful piano solo in it and the orchestral background gives this song a very rich and full sound.

I know I might get in trouble with you all for posting this song, but I just like it too much. Normally I don't have a thing for One Direction's music, but this song was actually deep and substantial. And to top it all off, I am posting the music video for it. In my defense, it is a pretty great and meaningful video so hopefully that will put me in a little less trouble. But I have to acknowledge talent when I hear it, and these five are quite talented and accomplished. Today's instrumental song is from the movie Charlie St. Cloud. Now I have not seen this movie, but I have heard some great things about it and I happened across this film score which is great. It has some extremely sweet moments with the wind instruments and makes this such a rich piece. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is one of my favorite versions of a popular swing song. Bobby Caldwell does such a great job with song, keeping it with the original jazz feel but also adds a cocktail sound to it. The piano actually has a part in this song! I just love the relaxed sound Caldwell perform's the song with, and it has a smooth feel to it.  His vocal tones are phenomenal, soft yet strong and sweet. Today's instrumental song is a popular one from the 1940's composed by the incredible Glenn Miller. I have posted a rendition of this song, but this is the original. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by a band called MS MR. What I found so interesting about this duo is the fact that this is what I would expect Florence and the Machine would sound like on the weird side of music. This song has so many shared qualities with music like Florence, but it still has its own unique psychedelic sound that adds a sense of mystery to their sound. To add on top of that, the lyrics talk about the mind which makes the psychedelic stuff go even deeper. Today's instrumental song comes from the incredibly cello group called Apocalyptica. I can't express how much skill and beauty these cellists perform with. I would definitely go listen to their other music as well because it is absolutely phenomenal! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's music begins with the big boy band out of England, The Wanted. This song is a lesser known song by them and it is a great one! This song has so much energy and makes you get up and dance. Turn the bass up a little and then there is no way that you will be sitting still. Even though boy bands get a lot of crap from general music fans, boy bands are a huge part of the music industry. But I digress...this song is just awesome! Today's instrumental song kind of takes on a different genre. Hadouken! is a great group in the spirit of how freaking weird they are! Its great! They kind of took a bunch of different genres and mashed them together to create and awesome song. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by an incredibly talented artist called Dante Kinnunen. Not only can this guy sing, but he also plays the drums and an electronic artist. So basically, a low key Zedd! But his style is so different from Zedd's which makes this awesome! This song is definitely more trance and chilled out which makes this song really great. Its one of those songs that you can chill out to or really jam to, your choice! Today's instrumental song is by a group that goes by XXYYXX. These guys are just plain interesting. That's all I have to say about them. I think you all will be intrigued by this song. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
