Keeping It Fresh

Today I have some new music for you, from one of the baddest bitches in Korean Music. That is right, CL has dropped a new song and quite a song it is. Now this song is probably the most hardcore CL has gone, and there is a part of me that really likes it! I won't lie, as I go through the breakdown of this song you will see where the drawbacks of the song are for me personally. But onwards! This song definitely follows the more hip hop route of music, and goes to that really intense and badass kind of sound. This is the kind of song that you would listen to when walking into a room as if you run the joint. From the beginning we are introduced to this consistent bass hit that punctuates at the beginning of every set of four beats. Which is weirdly precise of me to point out, but I do so because I want you to be able to pick it out when listening to the song. And from there we get the main melody of the song, which is definitely electronic production. This is like a weird mix of hip h...

Today I have music for you by the group known as For The Foxes. This song is one of those awesome feel good songs, the kind that you can listen to at anytime and the one that makes you want to feel free. I don't know, there is something about this song that is both calming and driving at the same time. The soft drum and guitar work is very soothing, but the stylization of the melodies and harmonies excites you with the prospect of freedom. This song gives that feeling of wanting to be free, running around at night with friends and doing whatever it is you want to do. This song is seriously so chill and relaxing that I feel so at ease when listening to it. The vocals are extremely nice because there is this soothing and water like nature to the voice that makes it just flow over the ears and over you. The vocals are just so nice to listen to! This song deosn't really have a climax with the instrumentals, but the vocals do a good job of taking care of that. It changes from a deep...

Today I have a song for you that come's from a friends music sharing as well! You should follow him on Instagram @sids.songs! He likes to share those underground songs along with music by big artists. And on that note, I am actually taking Sid's song of the day and doing a post about it! So this song is by Bondax, out of Lancaster. This electronic duo does an awesome job of making that special kind of electronic sound that I really only find from European artists. I don't know how to describe it, but there is a certain kind of sound that European electronic artists have that set them apart from everyone else. It has this transcendent kind of sound to it while also being something that has a bit of a groove and funk to it. This song has such a bubbly personality to it that it turns into something that makes you want to go back and chill or vibe or just have a good time. What I love about this song, is that Bondax throws in these subtle tropical sounds with some really sunny ...

Today I have a song for you from a movie that I watched for the first time today. All of my friends consider this Bollywood movie to be a classic, one with very quotable dialogue and those cheesy romantic shenanigans. Jab We Met ended up being a super cute movie, one that made me want hold someone tight and just snuggle. I mean the movie was funny, there were some tears, there were some incredibly sexy moments courtesy of Shahid Kapoor. Even the dance numbers were great! Which brings me to the song of the day. This song is the iconic romantic song for the movie. And for great reason because not only is the song itself really sweet and cute sounding, the lyrics are absolutely adorable. One of the reasons I love speaking Hindi is because of how beautiful of a language it is. Each word has such a heavy meaning, so you can say some of the most thought provoking or intimate things in fewer words. But those feelings don't get lost in translation either. They carry throughout, making sure...

Today I have music for you by Ansolo, also known more famously as Ansel Elgort. That's right boys and girls, Ansel Elgort has entered the world of DJ-ing and electronic music. And he is good. Very good. In fact, Ansel Elgort is so good, that he was invited to play at Electric Zoo Festival in New York. That requires some major talent and I can see why he was chosen for it. Ansolo has some talent! This song is just a remix he has done, and it is one of the most epic things I have ever heard! There is a brilliant use of fading in and out and there is this wicked weaving of the lyrics into the music. This song takes a lot of the original song, but Ansolo twists it so much so that we really only get the main chorus melody. Everything is so uniquely Ansolo and this is a great track to allow you to brace yourself for the wicked world of Ansolo. Most of his work right now is remixing songs, but he has some sick live sets as well. But Ansolo likes to focus on the heavier, more intense side ...

Today I have music for you by a band known as Small Black. This song is a cool and chill song that really takes on the idea of trance and psychedelic music. There is something about this song that really captures your attention. I don't really know what that one thing is and it is so hard to discern when there are lots of amazing things happening in this song. For starters, there is a great correlation of the indie feel this song has with the idea of synthpop. I think the two styles melded very well together and made something entirely new. While still maintaining elements of the indie and synthpop feel, this song took a turn towards more chill style and dream style music. And that, that is one of the greatest things about music. You can start with two totally different things and end up with a new sound and idea. This song has very interesting vocal work. It is almost like a lower quality of recording because the vocals are so far removed from the rest of the music. There is an et...

Today's song is by a group that i have not posted about in a very long time. Kids of 88 always seem to amaze me with how different they sound and honestly, how trippy their music can be. This music can take your mind to so many far away places which I find so intriguing and very rare. This song has a great melody and awesome back beat which makes this song rounded and solid. This is just such a unique duo that I can't help but be extremely interested in their music. Today's instrumental song is by Calvin Harris. This song definitely has a video game vibe. But its still a pretty cool song! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
