Keeping It Fresh

For the final day of "Best of 2013" I had to bring on that country spirit and sound. The best country song of 2013 is by the duo Florida Georgia Line. I have to say, this isn't my favorite song but it did gain a ton f popularity. It has that country twang and its quite prominent. This song does have great energy and it also has this happy feel to it. Today's instrumental song is from the movie American Outlaws. This song is kind of epic and Western at the same time which is pretty cool. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have the best hip hop and R&B song of 2013 which is by the incredible Macklemore. This song is probably the anthem of the year. Everyone knows this song and I hear it in so many different places. This song is not only a great sounding one with heavy bass and an extremely catchy horn tune, but the lyrics are meaningful too. I love how Macklemore can rap about relevant topics and make social commentary while also blowing up the charts. Basically, he is the bees knees. Today's instrumental song is the from the movie Stoker. This song is pretty sick. It has cool rhythms and awesome drum work. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have the best Latin song of 2013 for you! Actually, this was the third hottest Latin song, the first being a Marc Antony song which I recently posted and the second by the always awesome Daddy Yankee, another song which I have posted. So this song is by the artist known as Prince Royce. I have heard this song name dropped quite a few times so I can understand why it is so popular besides the fact that its a great song! It is such a cute song and has a great mix of many music styles. Today's instrumental song is also a Latin song, but by the best Latin instrumentalist of 2013. Bajofondo uses so many elements to create pieces that are recognizably Latin, but also completely different. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I thought we would look at the rock side of things. 2013's hottest rock song is by the band Imagine Dragons. This is a song I have posted before at some point and its amazing to see how far it has come along. I love this band and am not disappointed with this feat! Imagine Dragons really is a great band, has a great sound, and quickly caught the attention of the population with flying colors. This year's best film score has yet to be decided, so I thought to post a song from each film that I think has had an incredible movie score. This first song is from the movie 12 Years A Slave. This was a gut wrenching but incredible movie and definitely worth a watch. Or two. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Well this week is a week to review the bests of 2013. So today's fist song is the best dance song of the year. Disclosure weaves a really catchy tune and a great beat. This song isn't necessarily what people consider a dance song but its been really popular and I think its a great dance song. This is one of those "get down" songs and I love everything of their album Settle . Today's instrumental song is the best house song of 2013. This song is the most famous song by Avicii. I feel like everyone already knows what this song may be, but this is it! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment! 

Well its official! Welcome to 2014 everybody!! This past year was full of some great and memorable things from all areas of work-music to art to literature to science. This past year was a fantastic one and I look forward to 2014. I hope that everyone feels excited for this fresh start as now we are given the opportunity to start again and learn from our mistakes. So in honor of the new year, today's songs are the bests of 2013. This first one is the best song of 2013 and is by the legendary duo, Daft Punk. Everyone knows this song and it has been one of the anthems of not only the summer but the entire year. This song marks a revival of the disco era while maintaining a futuristic feel and is one of those awesome feel good songs. This second song is the best electro house song of the year is, well honestly, to be decided! So I am posting one of the candidates that I really love which happens to be Porter Robinson and Mat Zo. I hope you enjoy the music and get ready for a great yea...

Today's song is by the Amercian duo known as Phantogram. The first time I ever heard one of their songs was on Teen Wolf (don't judge) I heard one of their songs and decided to check out the rest of their music. Anyway, I really like the way they combine a rock beat with synth melodies and electronic support. Its really cool how they can combine the two so flawlessly. This song is just so cool with a great bass and its almost hypnotic. Today's instrumental song is from Epic Score. Everything about this song is just spot on and absolutely phenomenal. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
