Album Review: INNA - Nirvana

Album cover

The Rumanian dance-queen has released her new album titled "Nirvana," (released on December 11th, 2017) it has 12 tracks and three of them are in her native tongue (Rumanian, just to make it clear, hahaha), so here it is my review about it.

I listen to INNA's music since her big debut in 2009, so I can say that I have seen her evolution as singer and I know very well how her music style has evolved. For that reason, I have to say that "Nirvana" doesn't show a difference of what we have been listening in the last years. I could say that "Nirvana" is like the second part of her previous album released in 2015 called "INNA." However, in "Nirvana" she is using more the tropical sound of the trumpets and also back-voices as part of the beat in most of the tracks. Even when she's not propossing something new musically, this album is lit and there are a lot of bops!

As she has been doing it in her previous albums, in "Nirvana" she keeps mixing the use of Spanish with English (Spanglish as we call it in Mexico) in several songs. The examples of it are the songs; "Ruleta" (in English roulette) featuring Erik, which is the first track off the album, "Don't Mind," "Tropical" and in the title single "Nirvana." All these past songs that I mentioned are so danceable and have catchy chorus, but I have to say that musically "Tropical" is pretty cool. INNA loves to sing about party and love, so this album is about it.
My favorite track was "Hands Up," because the chorus has a nice flow and I really like its beat, it's impossible not to dance and hum it. In this song she sings about enjoying the party while she's looking for her crush.

"Step by step, I got you breaking

Walls up high but Imma pull them down

Take that heart and make it vacant, baby

Gotta surrender yourself to the bounce"

INNA

If you remember, I said that the use of trompets is very noticeable in this album; well, "My Dreams" has a great beat and it talks about dreaming about her crush and not wanting to waking up. Another wind instrument that I heard is in the song "Lights," and it sounds like a flut, this song also has a different beat in comparasion with the other tracks and the flute gives like a Japanese vibe. The last track in English is "Dream About the Ocean," where INNA sings about thinking about the ocean, in order to de-stress.

The last three tracks are collabarations (except the track 11) with other Rumanian artists. It is the first time that she includes two tracks that "aren't her songs," because in "Nota de plată" and "Tu și eu" INNA is the collaborator. The truth is that Rumanian language sounds pretty exotic and beautiful, by its sound it reminded me to Portuguese. 

INNA is a great singer and her talent always is the first thing that shines in her albums. In "Nirvana" she keeps giving us tropical vibes through the use of trumpets and a dose of mystery with the use of back-voices in her new songs.

My favorite song: "Hands Up"

Blessing your ears with this new bops!

It's time to talk about the new songs that have blessed my ears during the past days (2nd Dic-8th Dic 2017), in this list, you'll find songs that you should listen if you want to have a better life. Are you ready to know what songs were the best from the past week?!

The Neighbourhood - Scary Love

The NBHD is one of my favorite alternative rock bands and I'm so happy that they are giving us new music. This new song called "Scary Love" will be part of their upcoming new EP called "To Imagine," which it's set to be released on January 12th, 2018. I like that they are making new sounds in their dark sonds.

Charli XCX - Out of My Head (feat. Tove Lo & ALMA)

I have to say that the first time that I heard this song, I was like "meh," but then I listen it with my headphones and it was amazing! These three girls together are fire and this song is lit! I can't wait to listen to Charli XCX's upcoming mixtape.

INNA - My Dreams

I really like her Latin vibe, she has that kind of sweet voice that mixes perfectly with this tropical sounds. This song will be part of her upcoming album "Nirvana" and it is one of the few songs that she has been releasing.

G-Eazy - Sober (feat. Charlie Puth)

This collaboration with Charlie Puth has been one of the best decisions that G-Eazy has made, because they sound so good together and I have to say that I'm not into G-Eazy's music. 

R3HAB & KSHMR - Island

R3HAB is a great DJ and this new song proves it, it's catchy and the beat is on point.

Jax Jones - Breathe (feat. Ina Wroldsen) 

Jax Jones never dissapoints with his singles, because this new song is as good as gold! He knows how to make hits. If you don't know this DJ you should look for more songs by him, you won't regreat it!

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"

Stunning music videos by The Weeknd, INNA & +

INNA - Say It With Your Body

The Rumanian singer Inna has released a new song called Say It With Your Body, she also has published the music video in promotion for the song. Inna is one of my favorite singers and this new song sounds great! I love how her voice sounds and the rhythm of the song sounds very fresh and different. I have noticed that she has been exploring new sounds. Talking about the video, Inna looks sexy and beautiful, it is actually a hot video perfect for this new track.

"Shut up, say it with your body"

The Weeknd - Starboy (ft. Daft Punk)

The Weeknd came back with his new single Starboy, featuring the amazing electronic duo Daft Punk and its music video is pretty cool. The Weeknd's newest song is great, I like its beat and even when it has a dark vibe it's a dance-floor song. The music video starts with the "old" The Weeknd with the "new" Weeknd, then the "old" weeknd is murdered by the starboy. I really like this new album, it's so entertaining and it matches perfectly to the message of the song.

"You talking money, need a hearing aid

You talking bout me, I don't see a shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain"

Chase & Status - All Goes Wrong (ft. Tom Grennan)

The English electronic music production duo Chase & Status have published the music video for their latest single All Goes Wrong, featuring Tom Grennan. Their drum & bass beats makes this song amazing and I love the message of the song and the video, I think both are perfect. Chase & Status are very talented and this new song featuring Tom is incredible. On the other hand, Tom Grennan sings pretty good, is the first time that I see his name, but I like his tone of voice.

"Through the fire I'll keep burning on

Will I hold myself together

When it all goes wrong?

The fires, they keep burning on

Will I hold myself together"

Cruel Youth - Diamond Days

The new band fronted by Teddy Sinclair, who previously recorded two solo albums under the name Natalia Kills has published the new music video for the single Diamond Days. I still remember when Natalia (now Teddy) released her second studio album Trouble in 2013, and now to realized that she has changed her stage name and that has formed a band, is kind of weird, because she was great as Natalia Kills. But let's talk about the song and music video. I have to say that the video is okay for the song and the message of Diamond Days is very dramatic and kind of sad, but I like its rhythm.

"The diamond days are gone

And I would be a fool to carry on

And no there's nothing wrong

But I'm already gone"

My favorite music video was...

Is so hard for me to choose just one, because I'm between Inna and The Weeknd, actually these four music videos are great, so I don't know what choose. Well, I will choose The Weeknd's newest video (but believe me these four videos are great).
