Keeping It Fresh

Today I have music for you by a band that goes by the name Clubfeet. This song has a really cool sound to it. When you feel like listening to indie style electronic music, this group is one that can satiate your desire. This group has such a smooth sound to it but it falls on that psychedelic side of music as well. This song is one that is hard for me to describe because it sounds very familiar but also sounds very original from what I have heard before. I feel like this is something that could be featured on an episode of Teen Wolf. It has that independent and unique vibe and sound that no one else can copy. I am a huge fan of the way the vocals are presented because it is done so with layers. It is never just one voice and one sound you hear from the vocals, but many harmonies and different ways of singing the same lines. Something about that is very much like Imogen Heap's style of vocal layering. I also like the fact that they do maintain the conventional band instruments while...

Today I have the latest single by Zayn Malik for you. It seems like Zayn Malik has really discovered what his sound his, what style of music he needs to produce for a voice like his. As someone who is very much into R&B, this song was something that left me absolutely speechless. While I can't say that the lyrics are anything incredibly special, it is the delivery of these lyrics that makes this song something that draws you in and doesn't let you go. The chord progression and key changes in this song are absolutely mind blowing, something that is breathtakingly stark and hauntingly beautiful. This song has an almost eerie sound to it, but that is something that makes this song stand out among all of the R&B songs to come out lately. Zayn Malik sings very gently, letting a more vulnerable and emotive side show, while soaring through his falsetto and bringing it back down to a soft touch. The dreamy and ambient synth provides to be an ethereal accompaniment to the pensiv...

Today I have some cool music for you from two very unique and wonderful places! This weekend marked a dance competition for me, so of course I have to post some Indian music. But plot twist, this is a mashup between Indian and Western music. I haven't posted music like this in a long time, so I think it will be a really cool change of pace! We all know that mashups are all over places like Soundcloud and YouTube, and a lot of these mashups are often two English songs coming together. But, when you delve deeper into the world of mashups, you get some really cool mixes of music from all over the world. A combination of English and Spanish, Spanish and Hindi, French and English, etc. There are so many kinds of mashups out there and it dawned on me that it would be so perfect for me to share some of them! So today I am trying it out, seeing if I can find a style of mashup that people really like. Now for me personally, Hindi mashups of any kind are some of the sickest. Of course I am a...

Today I have some music for you by the singer, songwriter, and producer known Pim Stones. My first exposure to Pim Stones was through a show called Teen Wolf. And while the show is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, I cannot deny that the music is really good. Looks like some things about MTV remain! One of the reasons why I really like this song is because it kind of has a distinctly British underground sound. There is an underlying musical vibe that comes from the British underground scene, and this one carries the vibe it had from a few years ago. The song is really smooth and chilled out, but still, has some dynamism and quirks to keep it interesting.When I listen to this song, I think of colors, with no specific images in mind, rather, a great collection of some softer and more muted colors, even pastels. Pim Stones is a very great artist because when he makes music, it has no method in mind, and I feel like that mental coloration reflects that. There is no formula to his mus...

Today I have music for you by an incredible solo artist who goes by the name Mika. This song is one of the earliest to involve Ariana Grande before she became famous and when she sounded like a normal human instead of a child. I know, that is slightly rude but it had to be said. I won't deny her talent, but her old style is much better than her new stuff. Anyway, this is one of favorite songs produced by Mika. This man is a very talented vocalist and I love the type of songs he sings. Yes, they do have that pop feel to it, but it isn't your standard kind of pop. This song is so much fun to listen to because Mika and Ariana Grande harmonize so well together and this range allows the song to be more upbeat and exciting. This song has such a great beat to it and the instrumentation is a mix of pop and jazz and swing which I thought sounded really good. Mika has that very distinct and unique style that fits only him and this song really makes use of that style. The thing about Mika...

Today I have a really sick remix of a popular Diplo song by the trap DJ Gioni. Since today is all about trap music, I decided to post this remix. This one is a really interesting because it plays with a different harmony for the synth line than the original song. But wonderfully enough, it works so well! This harmony is almost like a piano, which is definitely different for a trap song. But the drop for this song is pretty incredible as well. It isn't the normal kind of drop you would expect, but the way it sounds gives it less of an intense sound, but more of a hype sound. To me, those are the two sides of trap music- intense and bad ass vs hype and energetic. This song definitely falls under the latter, and this is mainly because there is less bass and a less dramatic drop. But that is what makes this song great for a hype song. I definitely work out to this song, especially when lifting weights. It has that perfect beat for it, and it is a beat that is heavily pronounced and eas...

Today I have music for you by the English singer-songwriter Jessie Ware. She is an artist that really go into the spotlight this past year, and it can be seen as to why that is. To start out, Jessie Ware likes to air towards the side of atmospheric music, going with more ambient songs, especially the ones that leave you in the feels. This song is almost hypnotic, with airy and breathy vocals that flood your ears and leave you in a trance. This song definitely has more of kick back feeling to it, a calmer and more controlled instrumental sound. This goes very well with the soaring falsetto that Jessie Ware brings forth in this song. This song is an unapologetic explosion of passion and sparks and love. This is a firework of a love anthem, one that has shimmering synths and warm bass thrums. This song has this cool 80s and retro kind of sound to it, although, it is not the peppy kind of sound that most people expect. This song has a darker kind of twist on that retro sound, making it a p...
