MUSIC SERIES: On Repeat Week 3

On Repeat Week 3

This is week 3 of my music picks. If you haven't seen the first two weeks, make sure you check them out. I've gotten a pretty good response from people so far, so I'm going to continue to do this weekly! If you have any suggestions or you just want to let me know I listen to good music (which I already know), feel free to comment on these posts. Also, make sure you bookmark my blog and check it frequently for new posts and music!

Anyways, let's get into it. First off, we have another song from Ellie Goulding's new album. It's called 'I Need Your Love' and it's actually by Calvin Harris, but it features Ellie's amazing voice. You can listen to the whole album on iTunes now, and I definitely recommend buying it. There are a bunch of great songs on it:

Next up, we have a song from MGK. 'All We Have' ft. Anna Yvette has a catchy chorus and MGK's flow is just sick. This song is off of his new album that also just dropped. You have to check it out. This guy is going to be big. Some of my favorites from his new album are 'What I Do', 'Edge of Destruction', and 'Invincible'. This video isn't great quality so listen to the clip on iTunes for the full effect of its awesomeness - LTFU:

'The City' by Madeon has been out for awhile now, but I'm bringing it to you now. If you like electro/house music and you don't know who Madeon is, I definitely recommend checking him out. He has a lot of great upbeat songs that make you want to dance. 'Shuriken', 'Icarus', and his remix of 'The Island' by Pendulum are some of my favorites. Here's a sample of his style:

I've had this next song stuck in my head for a few weeks. My housemate that lives in one the rooms adjacent to mine, begged me to put this one on a playlist for a football pregame. It's called 'Cruise' by Florida Georgia Line. They're a group that's building up its rep in the country category. This song has the perfect title because it definitely makes you want to go for a ride down a country road:

This song is by one of my favorite dubstep groups, Adventure Club. It's called 'Retro City'. It has a pretty heavy drop with their unique modulated basslines. I just found out that they're coming to Ann Arbor within the month which got me in the mood to play some of their music. They have done a lot of great remixes, but they also have some excellent originals like 'Do I See Color'. Check them out:

Finally, it's the newest by Taylor Swift. Already number one on iTunes. Get rid of the artist name on iTunes and you honestly would not be able to convince me that it is her (or the genre of country, for that matter). When I listened to it for the first time I thought 'okay, this has her new pop sound - wait what's this - a build up?...*unexpected bass drop* WTF?' In the words of my other housemate - "This is going to be the new girls' anthem". I'd have to agree:

I hope you enjoyed this week's music. Please comment and let me know what you think!!! I'm always interested to see what music you listen to as well, so leave me a comment or link to some of your favorites! Come back next week for more, thanks!

MUSIC SERIES: On Repeat Week 2

On Repeat Week 2

It's time for week 2 of good music. This week was tough to pick some good songs because there are so many new releases. A ton of big name artists dropped new albums and singles this week like Muse, Zedd, Matt & Kim, and Taylor Swift. Other upcoming artists like DJ Drama, Chris Rene, and The Vaccines also released new stuff.

We'll start with DJ Drama who just dropped his album 'Quality Street Music'. He's not too big yet, but he's definitely got some talent. 'My Moment' is a song that's been out for awhile now, but I just heard it a few weeks ago via a friend. It's a good one, but the album has a lot more to offer. Here's a taste:

Next, we have the newest addition to Skrillex's OWSLA label, MONSTA. This group is going places. They have a different feel from some of the other artists on the label, but their first few songs are pretty good. It should be interesting to see what they do with their music now that they have Skrillex, Porter Robinson, and Zedd amongst others who can influence them. I've been listening to their song 'Holdin' On'. Skrillex and Nero have already made a remix, but I like the original:

Jake Owen who has hits like 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night', has just released a new EP called 'Summer Jam'. One of the new songs 'Summer Jam' featuring Florida Georgia Line is one of those typical happy, upbeat songs that make you want to sit back and chill. Take a listen:

One of the bands I used to listen to a lot, Three Days Grace, has just released another powerful album called 'Transit of Venus'. One of the more popular songs on the album is 'The High Road'. It has a strong chorus that gets the blood pumping. Definitely a song that's going to get listened to a lot this coming week:

Finally, I have songs by Porter Robinson and Zedd. I'm going to see them live tomorrow night, so in preparation, I thought I would give you a couple samples. 'Unison' by Porter definitely puts you in a mood to rage. The soft voice sampling is a nice complement to the bass-filled drop:

'Spectrum' by Zedd is probably his biggest song so far. It's a classic electro-house song that makes you want to jump. The popularity of the song has sparked tons of remixes. Definitely listen to the original first because most of the remixes completely change the feel of the song, but listen to the 3lau remix as well as this remix by KDrew:

Well, I hope you enjoyed some of the music! Let me know what you think by commenting below!!! Come back for more next week, and keep checking in for other posts midweek. Thanks!
