Album Review: Tove Lo - Lady Wood

Album cover

Lady Wood is the second studio album by Swedish singer Tove Lo. It was released on October 28th, 2016. According to Tove Lo, the album title means: "having balls as a sign of bravery, and also how people think of being a coward as being a pussy, which she mentions is unfair."

I listen to her music since 2014, when she released her EP Truth Serum and I remember that the first song I heard was actually a remix of her hit Habits. However, with her debut album Queen of the Clouds, Tove Lo showed me that she was a great singer, talented songwriter and a unique artist that deserved my attention.
Lady Wood is an amazing album that shows her musical growth and her unique music style. Lyrically, you will find songs about casual sex, love, confidence, drugs, romance and vulnerability. While musically, this album is darker than her debut album, because it has slow beats but it follows her electro pop style. She said that: "There’s definitely a different sound to it — we’ve gone a little bit more dark techno vibe with it, some of it. You know, blended with pop."

The first track is an intro called Fairy Dust (Chapter I). Tove explained it saying: "We had a very small screening for the first chapter, which is called “Fairy Dust.” It’s the beginning of a rush, when you’re starting to feel it,". Followed by the first song that is a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa. The song is called Influence and with it, the album opend with a very sexual vibe and sassy mood. The third track is Lady Wood in which Tove Lo sounds very confident about herself and this song is the one with a fastest beat in comparison with the other tracks.
This album has several danceable tracks and one of them is: True Disaster, followed up by the amazing dope track Cool Girl, that is the lead single and with it, I knew that Tove Lo's new album was going to sound different and dark. The second collaboration is with Joe Janiak; the song Vibes is also about a romance with a guy and the issue of this song is very similar to True Disaster. Vibes at first sounds like a ballad with guitar, but then it becomes an electro pop song and Joe's voice sounds perfect.

"What's your line, though?

That I'm fine, oh

Heard that before

But somehow it means more"

The second chapter of Lady Wood is divided by the intro Fire Fade (Chapter II), that according to Tove Lo: "is like halfway through the set when I’m getting a little tired and I can feel people’s attention lacking a little bit. I feel more aware of where I am and who’s with me." This chapter starts with an interesting song called Don't Talk About It, where she sings about the dark side of fame and its ravages. Don't Talk About It has an explosive chorus and it is very catchy and it is like a progressive song, because it grows with the pass of the seconds. However, the most vulnerable song in Lady Wood is Imaginary Friend. However, Keep It Simple is also very personal and emotional, actually I think it is my favorite song from the whole album. Nevertheless, Flashes "is like an outflow to a lover who is affected in a negative way by Tove’s fame and money." 
Tove Lo ends the album with WTF Love Is, which is a dramatic way to finish it, because in the song we can notice a confused girl with a lot of insecurities about herself and about her feelings.

Lady Wood by Tove Lo is a great dark album not only musically, but also lyrically; it so personal that you will feel empathic to her feelings. On the other hand, Tove Lo said that this album is the first half of a two-piece double album, which is going to be released in 2017 and I'm getting excited. I loved Lady Wood and I think it is one of the best albums of 2016.

Tove Lo - Lady Wood: ★★★★★

Turn on the weekend with these girls / Charli XCX, Dua Lipa & Bebe Rexha

Charli XCX - After The Afterparty
After The Afterparty is the first single from Charli XCX's upcoming third studio album, which features Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty. The song starts like a ballad pop song with a slow track, but after the chorus the beat drops. As all her songs After The Afterparty is pretty catchy and it has great party vibe. I consider Charli as one of the few singer that always write infectious songs, because are so catchy that even if you don't like it, you will be singing it the whole day. Personally, I liked it and it sounds different from her last songs, but it is pretty fresh and enjoyable.

"'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'

We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'

Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again"

Bebe Rexha - I Got You 

The Albanian American singer, songwriter and record producer Bebe Rexha has released the second single from her upcoming debut album, that will be available the next year. I really like her voice, because it is very unique and different. Talking about her music style, I have to say that it isn't like too original. However, this new song is great and is so catchy, but I noticed that her voice sounds distorted or something like that, nevertheless, I'm pretty sure it could be her next hit.

"I'd do the time for you

Tell a lie for you

Yeah, baby, that's what I'd do

I'd walk the line for you"

Dua Lipa - Room For 2

The young English singer Dua Lipa has released a new song called Room For 2, taken from her upcoming debut album. It is set to be released on February 10th, 2017. This new song is slow ballad, where we can notice her different and beautiful voice. I'm pretty sure that Dua will be very known in the next moths, just wait.

"Up and down, it all comes back around

Push and shove, do you feel better now?

Knock, knock, knock

You'll come tumblin' down"

Top Five Videos - Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known by her stage name Charli XCX, is a British singer, songwriter and actress. She is about to release a new single called After the Afterparty, featuring Lil Yachty (it will be available on October 28th, 2016). Thus, I wanted to make a list of her best five music videos, before she release a new one.

Personally, I really like Charli's music style and I think she is very talented and original. On the other hand, her music videos are very entertaining and creative, so these five videos, according to me, are her best five.

5. Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom

 Charli said the following about their collaboration: "Sometimes we get aggressive, sometimes we get beautiful—he pushes me and I push him. I’m making beautiful party songs right now and this is just the start."

4. Charli XCX - You (Ha Ha Ha)

The controversial video finds Charli loading gun shells in a firearms factory and trading the lead tips for lipstick. Its release couldn't have been timed any worse coming just weeks after the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting. The singer issued a response saying in part, "The idea is to make lipstick, not war, but I'd like to say sorry if anyone has mistaken this video for advocating violence."

3. Charli XCX - Breaking Up 

This slice of brat-pop finds Charli bashing her former lover. "That song is really brutal - every time I sing it I feel bad for everyone of my ex-boyfriends," she told NME: "I feel like I'm making all the guys I ever dated cry," Charli added. "Which I kind of like."

2. Charli XCX - Doing It (ft.Rita Ora)

The clip features XCX and Ora as a pair of bandits who are chased into the desert by police in their pink truck. The police eventually catch up with them, but instead of busting the duo, they join in on the party. "I wanted it to be like this badass Barbie Thelma and Louise-esque video," Charli told Buzzfeed. "So we robbed a store with toy guns, rode a bucking bronco and nearly crashed a pink pick-up truck through the desert." 

1. Charli XCX - Famous 

On March 23rd, 2015, Charli released the music video as apart of the YouTube Video Awards. It satirizes modern technology and people’s obsession with it. Watch it by pressing play above!

The sexiest videos of the week / The Chainsmokers & blink-182

The Chainsmokers - Closer (ft. Halsey)

The American DJ duo called The Chainsmokers have published the music video for their first hit Closer, featuring Halsey. I have to admit that I don't like this song, for me, it is just another song on the radio (actually I don't know why it became famous). However, I think that the video is okay for the song, I mean, it's about when you meet someone and the video reflects it.

"So baby pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder"

blink-182 - She's Out of Her Mind

The American rock band formed in Poway, California, blink-182 have published the music video for their latest single She's Out of Her Mind. The song according to them is about: "admiration for a woman who might not be 100% normal, saying she wears dark clothes and listens to gothic music. But, she’s still an angel to him!".

I have to say that, I used to like this kind when I was in middle school, but now my musical taste has changed, so I didn't like it too much. However, the video is entertaining and Lele is there.

"I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind

She said "babe, I'm sorry but I'm crazy tonight"

She got a black shirt, black skirt and Bauhaus stuck in her head

I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind, oh yeah"

My favorite music video was...

I'm not pretty sure, but I think that blink's newest video is my favorite of the day (maybe because I don't like Closer).

Album Review: Lady Gaga - Joanne

Album cover

Joanne is the fifth studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released on October 21st, 2016. It has two version, the standard with 11 tracks and the deluxe with two bonus tracks and one demo of one of the songs from the album.

Lady Gaga has finally returned with a country pop rock album, where we can hear her with more freedom and being more honest than never before. I have to say that, Lady Gaga is one of the greatest artists nowadays and her albums are always very controvercial. 

Joanne musically, is a mixture between country and pop, but there are also a little bit of rock and punk. Lyrically, there are songs about being alone, breakups, love, death, freedom, and other issues.

Diamond Heart is the first track in the album, which sets the tone for the album. This song is referencing to her engagement ring from her fiancé Taylor Kinney, who gave her a heart-shaped ring. Followed by the promotional single A-YO, a song against the haters, where Gaga sounds having fun while singing the song and it has a pretty cool pop country rhythm. The third track is the title track off of Lady Gaga’s album, Joanne. Personally, this country ballad has two meanings: one is for her aunt, died of Lupus in a very young age. The chorus can also be understood with a second meaning. In the part where she sings "Where do you think you're goin' Goin', girl?", Gaga might be talking to herself, asking about her future and what she is going to do.

In this part of the album, after three tracks, Joanne becomes a little bit more danceable and it sounds more Gaga, because is when John Wayne, Dancin' in Circles and Perfect Illusions come out. These three tracks are those songs that will make you dance and sing, because are the most catchy songs. In John Wayne, Gaga is fantasizing for a cowboy-type lover. While, Dancin' in Circles (my favorite song) is for me, the song that most remind me to Lady Gaga's past songs, because in the part where she makes her voice sweeter saying "Tap down those boots while I beat around, Funk me downtown", she reminded me to one the tracks from her debut album called Summerboy. Furthermore, it is the most sexual song, talking about female masturbation.

"I lay around, touch myself to pass the time

I feel down, I wish you were mine

I close my eyes

Take a breath and I picture us in a place

I can't recognize"

From now on, the songs become almost acapella songs, because are slower and have less instruments. Million Reasons is the first ballad from this part and I really like this song, because she sounds amazing and the lyrics are beautiful. Sinner's Prayer has a great guitar sound and Come to Mama has a strong country rhythm, with a little bit of jazz because of the trumpets. Talking about the collaboration with Florence Welch called Hey Girl, I really was expecting something better, because it sounds like the demo of the song, not like the real one. The album ends with a dramatic ballad called Angel Down, which was "inspired by the tragic murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012." On the other hand, the two bonus tracks follow the same country vibe. However, Grigio Girls and Just Another Day have a strong Gaga's vibe, I mean, these two songs reminded me to the songs from Disco Heaven (an unreleased album). 

I have to be honest and tell you that, I liked this album. However, I was not expecting this country vibe, I know that  Lady Gaga always explore new music genres and that stuff, but I feel like she risked too much with this album. There is one expression that says: Nothing ventured, nothing gained; which is one of Lady Gaga's best characteristics. However, this time for me Joanne was not enough.

Lady Gaga - Joanne: ★★★★

Love & peace amid the violence, in ZHU's new video

The Chinese American electronic musician and singer Zhu, has published a short film  for his single Generationwhy, taken from his debut album with the same name as the single. 

The song talks about the good people in this world, that even when the world looks bad, there are good people who feel the love and that are not ashamed of showing it. It has a danceable beat and it's very catchy. 

While, the 11-minute short film tells the story of a guy who at the end, is transported (after eating a mushroom) to a "brighter day and the promise of love and peace amid the violence." According to the Director American Millennial, the music video "is dedicated to those born into lives ruled by fear. It doesn't have to be this way. The answer may not be easy, but it is simple: never underestimate the power of one." 

I have to say that at the begining, I was very surprised of how the video starts, but then it becomes less violent and more enjoyable as the song. I think that everybody will have a different explanation of the music video, and that's the interesting part of it, because all we have a different point of view. For me, the begining represents the how we are controlled to make things that we don't want to do, but we do it beacause of the pressure that other people put in us. However, if we look for our freedom, we could find that at the end, we are people that if we stick together, we will live in a better world with more love, understanding and equality.

Tove Lo released Cool Girl as the lead single on August 4th, 2016. Followed by two promotional singles: Influence (feat. Wiz Khalifa) and True Disaster. 

I consider Tove Lo as one of the best "new" artists of recent times. She is a pretty talented songwriter and her voice is so unique and beautiful.

Album Review: Two Door Cinema Club - Gameshow

Album cover

Gameshow is the third studio album by Irish indie rock band Two Door Cinema Club. It was released on October 14th, 2016.

Personally, it is the first album that I hear from they, but when they released the first single of the album, they caught my eye because of their original music style and fresh sound. After listening it several times, I can tell you that Gameshow is one of my favorite albums of 2016 and I will tell you why.
Musically, Gameshow is an pop rock album with a lot of synthesizers, so several songs have electro pop vibes. Lyrically, you will find songs about love, self conifdence, breakups, consumerism, modern life and other life issues.

Are We Ready? (Wreck) is the lead single and first song that TDCC released, this song talks about consumerism and modern life. According to the band, the sound of the song was influenced by several artists: “I think the influences batted around were mostly Prince, Bowie, Miguel and Kanye West. All the greats. It’s not like we suddenly sound like them though.”

In general, Gameshow is very energetic and all the songs are very danceable and have amazing disco vibes, for example, Bad Decisions, Gameshow and Je Viens De La (which means: I come from there). However, there are a couple of songs that can be described as ballads, for instance, Lavender and Invincible, which is a song about a breakup and I consider it as the most vulnerable track on the album, because the lyrics are very honest and emotional. Also, I noticed that in Invincible, Alex Trimble's voice sounds very similar to Freddie Mercury's tone of voice.

"I know you're leaving

Cause I always take too long

Cause I always get it wrong

I'm a fool, I'm not defeated"

On the other hand, Surgery is the most electronic song and we can noticed that in Gameshow the synthesizer was an important instrument. The use of drugs, fame and bad behaviour are other topics that have served as inspiration for two tracks, Ordinary and Fever. Actually, these two tracks have very interesting lyrics, for example, in Ordinary I understood that is about a person who consumes drugs, but he tries to cover it up, in order to look as an ordinary person. While, Fever that same person tries to improve his life adding meaning to his life, having some relapses.

I will finish this, talking about one of my favorite songs. It is called Good Morning and I liked it because the meaning of the song for me is that, everybody have two sides the positive one and the negative side, that we can be both.

I really loved Two Door Cinema Club's album. Gameshow is a refreshing album, that all veverybody should listen, because it so good.

Two Door Cinema Club - Gameshow: ★★★★★

The best collaboration was... Clean Bandit, FM or MGK

Far East Movement - Fighter (ft. Yoonmirae & Autolaser) 

The American hip hop-EDM group Far East Movement have published a new music video for their song Fighter, taken from their newest album Identity, available now. This is like an electronic ballad and it has beautiful and powerful meesage, both in the video and lyrics. According to the group, creating this songs was something therapeutic for them. They also said: "the music vid is symbolic of us finding our own way and identity".

"With my back against the wall

Said that you've had enough

But you still take my calls

I need to know"

Clean Bandit - Rockabye (ft. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie)

The amazing British trio (now) Clean Bandit have released a new song with its music video, the track is called Rockabye and it is a collaboration with Sean Paul and Anne-Marie. I don't know if you already know, but Neil Milan, who was the violinist, left the group and this song is the first single as Clean Bandit as a trio. I'm a big clean Bandit's fan and even when it won't be the same without Neil, this song is beautiful and amazing. The song is about "how a single mother struggles and bears hardships to raise their children and give it the best possible life" and the message of the video is great.

"She tells him; "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life

You're gonna grow and have a good life

I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

(Stay out there, stay out there)"

Machine Gun Kelly - Bad Things (ft. Camila Cabello)

Machine Gun Kelly has published the lyric video of his new single Bad Things, featuring Fifth Harmony's member Camila Cabello. I have to say that It's not like the best song ever, but the part that Camila sings is kind of catchy, and her voice gives a cool vibe to the song.

"And we're both wild

And the night's young

And you're my drug

Breathe you in 'til my face numb"

My favorite music video was...

I think that if you read what I wrote, you will notice that I loved Clean Bandit's video and song. Thus, my favorite video is the one for the song Rockabye. As I said, the song and video are perfect and even when Neil isn't on it, I really liked the song.

Top Five Videos - Lady Gaga

Today is Tuesday of Top Five Videos and I decided to choose the best five music videos by Lady Gaga, according to me. As all we know, she is about to release her upcoming fifth studio album Joanne, which is going to be available world wide on October 21st, 2016. Thus, I wanted to make a countdown, before she starts her new era.

Something that we have to admit is that, Lady Gaga always make great videos, where she shows us her creativity and her interest into create a well made video. I will write song facts about the videos, so you will know more about it.

5. Lady Gaga - G.U.Y.

The song's music video was filmed at Hearst Castle, the former home of William Randolph Hearst located near San Simeon, California. 

4. Lady Gaga - Telephone (ft. Beyoncé)

The infamous Pussy Wagon from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 reappears as Gaga and Beyoncé's getaway mobile in the video. Gaga explained to E! News: "We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he said, 'You gotta use the Pussy Wagon!.'"

3. Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

Lady Gaga explained to The Canadian Press: "It has a real, genuine, powerful message about fame-whoring and death and the demise of the celebrity, and what that does to young people. The video explores ideas about sort of hyperbolic situations that people will go to in order to be famous. Most specifically, pornography and murder. These are some of the major themes in the video."

2. Lady Gaga - Judas

Gaga plays Mary Magdalene in the song's music video, whilst model-turned-actor Norman Reedus is Judas Iscariot. Gaga and her creative director Laurieann Gibson co-directed the clip after the initial collaborator had to drop out. She told MTV News: "When we got to 'Judas,' it was very clear to me and the inspiration was very clear to her. We approached a director, but then the dates actually got messed up and it was conflicted and her manager and her looked at me [and asked me to direct it with her]."

1. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

The clip features Gaga with some razor-blade sunglasses. She explained to MTV News: "I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends - don't do this at home! - they used to keep razor blades in the side of their mouths. That tough female sprit is something that I want to project. It's meant to be, 'This is my shield, this is my weapon, this is my inner sense of fame, this is my monster.'"

Unforgettable songs by Lady Gaga, Troye Sivan & INNA

Troye Sivan - HEAVEN (ft. Betty Who)

Troye Sivan has published the audio of Heaven, song taken from his debut album Blue Neighbourhood in collaboration with Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who. The song is about "the struggles of growing up LGBT+ and coming to terms with sexuality and gender." I'm not pretty sure if it's his next single or if it just a promotional single. However, this is one of the best tracks in the album, it has powerful lyrics that will make you reflect about it.

"All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh

So if I'm losing a piece of me

Maybe I don't want heaven?"

Lady Gaga - A-YO

Lady Gaga's upcoming new album is almost here, so she decided to released one of the tracks from Joanne as promotional single. The song is called A-YO that is a pop country song with good vibes and an amazing message, Gaga explained the meaning of A-YO saying the following: "A-YO, A-YO were smokin 'em all" is like "hey you, let's celebrate. Were leavin our haters in the dust." I have to say that it's a cool song, but it isn't my favorite Gaga's song so far, I'm waiting until she release her album to decide my favorite one.

"Get off on me, my body's got you pleadin'

Light me up and breathe in

Mirror on the ceilin'

Off on me, my body's got you pleadin'"

INNA - Cum Ar Fi?

The Rumanian singer Inna has released a new song called Cum Ar Fi?, in Rumanian (her native tongue). I love Inna's music and even when I don't speak Rumanian, this song sounds great and I noticed that this language sounds pretty exotic, sometimes it sounds like Italian or something like that. I translated the lyrics into English and it seems to be a love song, but I'm not sure.

"De cand cu tine

Am inceput sa cred in povesti

Nu, n-am nevoie sa ma intelegi

Mi-ajunge ca ma iubesti"

"Since you

I started to believe in fairy tales

No, I need to understand me

I get that you love me"

Album Review: Kings of Leon - WALLS

Album cover

Walls is the seventh studio album by American rock band Kings of Leon. It was released on October 14th, 2016. The album title is an abbreviation for We Are Like Love Songs.

I will be honest with you, I used to consider Kings of Leon as just another rock band with boring songs. However, since I have this music blog, I have started listening to bands and singers that I didn't used to listen before, so I have learned to appreciate other musical genres. Thus, Walls is the first album from this band that I listen.

Lyrically, in the album we will find songs about heart break ups, love, suicide and other life issues. While, rhythmically Walls follows the same style that their previous albums and here is when I start with "bad" comments, because even when I said that I didn't used to listen their music, I knew how their music style was. Therefore, I have noticed that Kings of Leon have not explored new things nor sounds. However, it is a pretty good album.

"You always seem to come my way

Come and take your shape

Out in the stars

I really wanna know your name"

Let's begin talking about the album, starting with the first track called Waste a Moment, that is one of the most rhythmic tracks along with Around the World, Eyes on You and Find Me, which is also one of the best tracks from the album, and my favorite one from it. Find Me is about finding a new love (love at first sight), I really love the lyrics of the song and the rhythm is great, it is so "Kings of Leon".
There is one song that has an interesting story behind. I am talking about the second track called Reverend, it talks about "the life of Blaze Foley, a country singer who, after living a tragic life, died by gunshot at 39 years old in 1989."

In general, the album have mostly ballads, such as: Muchacho, Conversation Piece, Wild and the second single and title track off Kings of Leon’s album Walls. However, the darkest song in the album is Over. The fifth track is about "a friend wanting to commit suicide", called Kenny. The band talked about the songs saying the following: “It’s very personal, and to the people involved who know what that song’s about, for them it’s like, ‘Holy shit!’ But if you kind of look back on stuff that’s happened years ago, if it still means something, then you should write about it.”

Walls by Kings of Leon is a great album with amazing songs and unforgettable lyrics. Nevertheless, they are not proposing anything new musically speaking. I know that they are recognized as one of the best rock bands, but they have to explore something new, if they want to be remembered.

Kings of Leon - Walls: ★★★★

Men attack / Nick Jonas, Nathan Sykes & Jedward

Nick Jonas - Voodoo
Taken from Nick Jonas' latest album Last Year Was Complicated, the American singer decided to publish the music video for the first track on the album Voodoo. In the music video we can watch him walking in the streets of what it looks the city of New Orleans with a purple necklace in his hand, like in the Mardi Gras carnival, while a band is behind him. I liked the video, but it doesn't have nothing to do with the message of the song.

"Desperate now

Way you do it, I don't know how

You're drinking me dry

Throwin' fuel on a fire, fire"

Nathan Sykes - Famous

The former The Wanted member Nathan Sykes is finally back with a new music video for his new single Famous, taken from his upcoming debut studio album Unfinished Business.  It is expected to be released on November 4th, 2016. Famous is a great song that talks about "a woman/girl that is addicted to his financial business, instead of worrying about the true love". The music video is great for the message of the song and it's very entertaining. 

"But will you call me when I'm famous?

When I'm famous

Would you call my name?

Will you call me when I'm famous?"

Jedward - Hologram

The identical twins Jedward, have released a new song with its music video. It is called Hologram and it's an electro pop song. I have to say that I'm not pretty sure if I like the song, but I think that is not that bad, I mean, it has a great message and the lyrics are beautiful. However, I didn't like too much the melodie of the song.

"Cause in my head you're just a hologram,

That no longer cares for love or affection.

How could you be this cold and so transparent?

I need to love you now, but you're a hologram"

My favorite music video was...

I think Nathan Sykes has made an amazing music video for his new single, which also is a great song.

Songs to have a better weekend / Tove Lo, Y&Y, Martin Garrix...

Tove Lo - True Disaster

After have premiered this song live at the VMA Pre-Party, Tove lo has decided to release it on her official Youtube and also, you can buy it on iTunes. Lady Wood is the name of her second studio album and as she said, the album will be pure electro pop adn True Disaster follows the same beats that her two previous songs have. Personally, I love Tove Lo's music and this new song is great and lit.

"Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster

You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster (true disaster)

You can be just what I want, my true disaster"

Martin Garrix - WIEE (with Mesto)

Martin Garrix will be releasing seven new tracks each day and today, he released WIEE featuring Mesto. It is an instrumental track and it has a great vibe.

Years & Years - Meteorite

Years & Years are part of the official soundtrack for British romantic comedy film, Bridget Jones’s Baby. Y&Y have released an acoustic version of Meteorite that not only can be heard in their official Youtube, but also you can buy it on iTunes. 

I really like Years & Years' music style and Meteorite is an awesome song. Olly Alexander (the singer) is pretty talented and he shows it in this unplugged version of their single.

"Let me feel your devotion

Let me feel your emotion

Love me like it's the last night

Like it's the last night"

Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cabello - Bad Things 

The American rapper Machine Gun Kelly, in collaboration with Camila Cabello from Fifth Harmony in MGK's new single Bad Things. I have to admit that is the first time that I heard MGK's name, so it means that it is the first song that I hear by him. However,  Bad Things isn't a bad song and Camila's voice sounds pretty cool in the song (even when I don't like her voice).

"And you keep me in with those hips

While my teeth sink in those lips

While your body's giving me life

And you suffocate in my kiss"

I would like to know guys, what was your favorite song? Did you liked Camila Cabello's collaboration in MGK's song? What's your favorite version of Meteorite? Leave all your comments here and follow me on Twitter nad Facebook (@JusSayinggBlog). 

Live with no regrets watching these videos / MAGIC! Gaga & Maroon 5

MAGIC! - No Regrets

Taken from their latest album Primary Colours, the band MAGIC! has published the music video for their single No Regrets.

It is one of the few ballads from the album and No Regrets is a beautiful song about no giving up to their love. I think that the video is good for the message of the song and I liked it.

"The world isn't over yet

We've still got a chance to place our bets

We both made a little mess

Nothing our two hearts can't put back"

Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know

After have released their new single Don't Wanna Know, the band Maroon 5 have published the music video to promote it. I have to say that I liked the song, but I'm not pretty sure about the video. Kendrick Lamar doesn't appear in the video, maybe because he didn't wanted to wear a motley. 

"And every time I go out, yeah

I hear it from this one, I hear it from that one

That you got someone new

Yeah, I see but don't believe it"

Lady Gaga - Million Reasons 

Lady Gaga has published the live performance of her latest single Million Reasons, recorded from The Bud Light and Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour in the first stop in Nashville. 

Million Reasons is a country-rock track co-penned with Nashville darling, Hillary Lindsey and I really love its message, I think it is one of her best and more emotional songs. Talking about the live performance, Gaga was stunning and she sounds perfect.

"Lord, show me the way

To cut through all his worn out leather

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away

But baby, I just need one good one to stay"

My favorite music video was...

I really liked the new music video by MAGIC! for their song No Regrets. The song is beautiful and the video is perfect for the song.
