Billboard #1- Somebody That I Used to Know

If you look at the Billboard Hot 100 right now, you'll see Gotye & Kimbra at #1 with their song Somebody That I Used to Know. It's surprising that this song has hit #1. Gotye has been making music for over a decade, and not he is finally getting recognition.

I guess that catchy xylophone melody and artsy music video was enough to propel this song up the charts. I like the song, but I am surprised that is is so successful. 

Nicki Speed

Anyone that has listened to Nicki's new album- Roman Reloaded- may recognize this track. In my opinion Va Va Voom is the stand out track, and I see a potential hit on Nicki's hands. This song is only available on the deluxe version. Reminds me of Super Bass.

Breakfast Time

 Kreayshawn may not be the best rapper in the biz right now, but her beat are always different. Kreay has another hot song on her hands with Breakfast. While the lyrics aren't that exceptional, the beat is enough to make me want to listen.

The song features 2 Chainz, who has some how become popular. No idea how he became famous over night, but I'm listening to this song for Kreayshawn, not him.

Smoke, Hot Ora

 Here's one of my favorite songs right now. It's called How We Do (Party) by Rita Ora. The song samples Biggie's Party & Bullshit and has potential to be the song on the summer.

Rita is signed to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation. She's getting a lot of comparisons to her labelmate Rihanna. Check out the song and let me know if you see any comparisons.

Revamp

Hello all,

So I've abandoned this blog for a little bit, but I'd like to start posting again. To be honest, I think the blog will now mostly focus on songs that I am really into now. I would like to use this space to review music and suggest new stuff to you readers.

So please check back. I know I've been away for a while, but I will be posting again.
