TAYLOR SWIFT: SPEAK NOW

From the album of the same title, listen to Taylor Swift's SPEAK NOW, a country-pop song solely written by Swift about interrupting a former love's wedding in an attempt to win him back. It was released as a promotional single as part of countdown to Speak Now album, an exclusive campaign launched by iTunes store.

The song was catchy, sweet, funny and edgy at the same time. This shows Swift as one of the most gifted young lyricist to date!

DOWN TO EARTH


Listen to Justin Bieber's DOWN TO EARTH, a track from his My Worlds Acoustic cd. Is he that talented?...that he need to write a song about his parent's divorce?...I really dig that!

LADY GAGA's Christmas Tree


Bago pa sumikat ng husto si LADY GAGA ay nakapagrecord muna siya ng isang christmas song noong 2008 na may pamagat na Christmas Tree.
Sinulat ito mismo ng lola niyo na hinaluan ng christmas melody ng klasikong "Deck The Halls" sa chorus part nya. Guest vocal pala dito ang British DJ at mega producer na si Nick Dresti aka Space Cowboy.

KESHA: THE HAROLD SONG


I'm currently listening to KESHA's first extended play (EP), "CANNIBAL", it wasn't easy but I did it!
There is one song that's pretty good. A track called "THE HAROLD SONG"- a very emotional song that has been cited as the album's power ballad. The song features a more stripped down vocal style portraying a vulnerable side of Kesha.

NELLY: JUST A DREAM

Cornell Haynes Jr. or better known by his stage name as NELLY, is back on the charts with the song JUST A DREAM. Produced by Jim Jonsin and Rico Love, the track is a midtempo cross between straightforward hip-hop and a pop ballad about missing a past love.This serves as the lead single from his sixth studio album, Nelly 5.0 (2010). The 'Hot in Here' rapper has got the right mix of his old style and evolution into a newer style. And it's a good thing that he didn't use auto-tune!...Well done Nelly!

LOVE JAZMINE SULLIVAN!

I'm currently hooked on the music of multi-Grammy nominee JAZMINE SULLIVAN. She has just released her latest album Love Me Back (her second after 2008's Fearless) and the carrier single "Ten Seconds", is a blazing track that depicts the climax of problems within a relationship.


I also like the song U GOT ON MY NERVES, a duet with Ne-yo. I can relate to this sog actually! =)



If your a fan of solid, quality RnB/soul music, you should buy/listen to this album.

TIME OF YOUR LIFE


This is an old GREEN DAY song...it was originally called Good Riddance, found on their 1997 album Nimrod.

I think the song is about a break up but not to cry about it, think about the good times you had, think about the laugh and the special moments you had...

Or it could be about time and life in general, and how no matter what you're past is you say Good Riddance to it and live for a new day and changing with the times.

LEE DEWYZE: LIVE IT UP

The reigning American Idol winner LEE DEWYZE already released his debut album LIVE IT UP and ended up selling just under 40,000 copies which was good enough to chart at #19 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.

Thus far, this is the lowest debut in units sold for an American Idol winner since Kris Allen's debut of 80,000 units sold. DeWyze's album is also the second album of an American Idol winner (after Allen, who debut and peaked at #11) to not debut in the top 10 of Billboard 200 and the #19 debut marks the lowest position for an AI winner.

Personally, I really love the album. Lee delivered great melodies and great lyrics. There's a variety of songs genre here that goes to show how versatile he is as an artist!
Everything this man has done so far in his musical career is amazing and this album is no different.

SWEET SERENDIPITY
the first track from the cd!...I love this song-it's so upbeat and Lee sounds great singing it!


LIVE IT UP
Love the title track!...It's nice he can mix it up. Some light and playful, some serious and heavy. Nice job Lee!!!
