3. DNCE - Body Moves/Cake by the Ocean (best): It was one of the best performances, because they were very sassy and they were literally singing over the crowd, it was a great first performance for this new band.

7. Green Day - Bang Bang (best): They showed me that they have the same energy that before.

8. The Weeknd - Starboy (worst): We have to admit that it was boring, even when he sang good it wasn't that spectacular as he thought, because I'm pretty sure that he thought it was going to be a great and amazing performance, but it wasn't.

9. Kings of Leon - Waste a Moment (best): This is the first time that I like one of their albums and this song is a good one. Talking about their performance, I think it was a good, because the band sounded amazing and Caleb Followill (the singer) sounds the same as in the song of the album.

10. Bebe Rexha - I Got You (best): Even when she started singing very low, she get better and she did a great show and I really liked that giant "u" with eyes.

11. Lukas Graham – You're Not There / 7 Years (best): It was almost an acapella performance and Lukas Forchhammer (the singer) did an amazing show, I think it was one of the most emotional performances of the night. 

12. Afrojack - Hey (featuring Fais and Ty Dolla $ign) (worst): Even when it wasn't that bad, it wasn't one of the best performances of the night. It was boring in some parts and entertaining in other (but mainly boring).

Click here to watch it, because it has not been uploaded on Youtube

13. OneRepublic - Let's Hurt Tonight (best): This has become as one of my favorite bands and Let's Hurt Tonight is one of the best songs from their album. Their live performance was great and the rain in the stage was stunning.

14. Green Day - American Idiot (best): It was the last performance of the night and as Green Day won the Global Icon Award, they played one of their most iconic and best songs.

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: ★★★★  

Now it's your turn to write your comment about it. Did you liked this album? What was your favorite song? Don't forget to follow me on Twitter and Facebook (@JusSayinggBlog) and to visit the other posts. Furthermore, you can read the other album reviews that you will find here.

Crying in 3,2,1 / Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon & Olly Murs

Lady Gaga - Million Reasons

Lady Gaga has released a new song from her upcoming album Joanne. Million Reasons is a country-rock track, that serves as the first promotional single that you will receive if you pre-order the album on iTunes. In this new song we can heard a vulnerable woman that feels insecurity about being in a relationship. I have to say that I wasn't expecting this song, but I liked it. I think it sounds beautiful and powerful at the same time, she's showing us what's inside her.

"I bow down to pray

I try to make the worst seem better

Lord, show me the way

To cut through all his worn out leather"

Olly Murs - Love Shouldn't Be This Hard

The English recording artist Olly Murs has published a song called Love Shouldn't Be This Hard, taken from the album Never Been Better (Special Edition), which was released the last year. This is a great song and he sounds great.

"We write this silence like a quite riot

We're like stars lost in the dark

Love shouldn't be this hard

We open scars, we end up breaking hearts"

Kings Of Leon - Reverend

Kings of Leon keeps releasing songs from their upcoming album and today, they have released Reverend a rock ballad. The truth is that I used to say that I didn't like their music, but with these new songs that they have been releasing, they have changed my mind, because this new track is great.

"Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio

Your heart will never say so

Your heart will never let you go

Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio"

My favorite song was...

Three sad and amazing songs, but my favorite one was Lady Gaga's newest track called Million Reasons. I chose this one, because her voice sounds so good and its message is beautiful. Furthermore, I think that it shows that Gaga has tried new music genres for her upcoming album.

The most entertaining video was... Solange, Kings of Leon & +

Kings Of Leon - Around The World

It has been a busy month for Kings of Leon, because they have been releasing new songs and videos in too few days. Today, the indie rock band published the music video for their single Around The World, taken from their upcoming album Walls. 

I like the song, but the music video is amazing. It shows different people dancing the song in many countries around the world, so it's perfect for its message and it's very entertaining. 

"Keep dancing, like its ya last time

We're so thin ice, swimming in the light

When the curtain falls, I'm on your scene

"What sweet surprise" she said to me"

Galantis - Love On Me (ft. Hook N Sling)

After have released Love On Me, featuring Hook N Sling, Galantis decided to published the music video in support to their single. 

Galantis' new song has a very rhythmic beat and it's so catchy. On the other hand, the video is very colorful and at least to me, it was very interesting and entertaining. I don't were it was recorded, but the place looks beautiful. I really enjoyed it.

"Girl put your love on me, Cuz I won’t let you down, I won’t let you down

We'll be singing

Girl put your love on me, I feel it all around, I feel it all around

We'll be singing"

Kimbra - Sweet Relief

The newest “warped funk” song by the New Zealand singer and songwriter Kimbra has been released. It is called Sweet Relief and it will be part of her third upcoming album, which is planned to be released early 2017.

I really love Kimbra's music style and she's very talented, so I know how her music sounds and I can tell you that in this new song, I don't noticed a big "change" or something "new". However, it isn't a bad song. Talking about the video, it's so crazy and weird, but I liked it.

"What have I got to do?

Gotta get through to you

You know I want skin to skin

So gimme that sweet relief"

SOLANGE - DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR

The American singer, songwriter, model, and actress Solange, has released her new album A Seat at the Table, and as promotion she published the music video for the song Don't Touch My Hair. 

I don't know if you knew that Solange is Beyoncé's little sister, but even though, I didn't know that she was a singer as well. I have to say that I haven't heard the album, but by listening to this song, I think that Solagne's music is pure R&B. Talking about the video, it's so Beyoncé, but it's okay. It isn't Solagne's fault, I mean, she sounds and looks as her sister, but it isn't her fault, is her parents fault lol.

"Don't touch my pride

They say the glory's all mine

Don't test my mouth

They say the truth is my sound"

Jamie xx - Gosh

The English record producer, remixer and DJ Jamie xx has published the music video for Gosh, taken from his debut solo album In Colour, released in 2015. 

I have to say that I heard the whole album, but I didn't like his style, even when I like alternative music, his music style is too weird and boring for me. Talking about the video, it is okay for the song, but I have doubts about it. I'm not pretty sure if I understood what he tried to explain on it.

"Oh my gosh

Oh my gosh

Easy easy!

Hold it down"

Robbie Williams - Party Like A Russian

The English singer, songwriter and actor Robbie Williams has returned with a new song called Party Like a Russian, which is the lead single of his eleventh studio album Heavy Entertainment Show. It is set to be released on November 4th, 2016.

I consider Robbie as a great singer and he has charisma. However, his newest song is not that "charismatic", I mean, it sounds good, but not that good. On the other hand, the video is great, visually talking it's very striking and entertaining. 

"Party like a Russian

End of discussion

Dance like it concussion, oh

We've got soul and we've got gold"

My favorite music video was...

As you have noticed, these six music videos have one thing in common, that all of them are very entertaining! However, I have to choose just one and it will be... Kings of Leon's newest video for the song, Around The World.

What about you? What was your favorite video? Did you liked Robbie's new song? Do you prefer Beyoncé's music or Solagne's music? Leave all your comments here and follow me on Twitter and Facebook  (@JusSayinggBlog). Furthermore, visit the other posts that you'll find here.

Rich assortment of new songs / Kings of Leon, OneRepublic & +

The Chainsmokers - All We Know (ft. Phoebe Ryan)

The American DJ duo called The Chainsmokers have released All We Know, featuring Phoebe Ryan,  following the success of their chart topping single, Closer.

I have to say that I'm not a big fan of them, but I have heard some of their songs and they have a relaxing style. All We Know is a song about "the hardships of relationships but never giving up on your ride or die", according to the duo and it has a good message, but it's so relaxing that can be a little boring, I'm jus' sayingg, that's my opinion about it.

"Never face each other

One but different covers

We don’t care anymore

Two hearts still beating"

Kings Of Leon - Around The World

Taking from their upcoming album Walls, Kings of Leon have released Around The World. 

This new song is more rhythmic that the last tracks that the band has been releasing and it follows the messages of live the life, because we don't know when it will finish. It has a relaxing rhythm and I like the lyrics, but the truth is that I'm not a big fan of their music style. However, it isn't a bad song.

"Keep dancing, like its ya last time

We're so thin ice, swimming in the light

When the curtain falls, I'm on your scene

"What sweet surprise" she said to me"

Tom Odell - True Colours

The British singer and songwriter Tom Odell has released a cover of Cyndi Lauper's hit True Colors. This is one of Lauper's iconic songs, so if haven'r heard this song before, perhaps you might like it, because is a beautiful song. According to Cyndi, this song is dedicated to "homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth."

"But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that’s why I love you"

OneRepublic - A.I. (ft. Peter Gabriel)

A.I. is the newest song taken from OneRepublic's upcoming album Oh My My, it is a collaboration with Peter Gabriel and it's pretty cool. First of all, A.I. means artificial intelligence. Then, this new song has a great dance-floor beat that made me move my shoulders and even when I don't know who is Peter Gabriel, he sounds good in this 90s vibe song. I'm excited for One Republic's upcoming album!

"Yeah I just want my love automatic

If artificial love makes sense

I just want your love, I'm an addict

Artificial intelligence"

Korn - A Different World (ft. Corey Taylor)

The American nu metal band Korn have released A Different World, taken from their upcoming twelfth studio called The Serenity of Suffering, which will be released on October 21st, 2016. This collaboration featuring Corey Taylor the lead singer from the band Slipknot is full of energy and something kind of funny is that, it has dark sound, but the lyrics are like less dark, I don't know how to describe it, but is kind of funny for me. Sounds like rebels singing about sweet things. However, I liked the song.

"This world that I try to hide

It’s kind of a mess

Too reckless for you

This place makes me feel alive"

Emeli Sandé - Hurts

Long Live the Angels is the album title of Emeli Sandé upcoming second studio record and Hurts serves as the first single. The verson that Emeli has released in her Youtube, isn't the real version, so don't worry if you don't like it, because in this version her voice sounds with auto-tune.However, lyrically it is an amazing song, that is about "the agony of being in love". 

"Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts

Loving you the way I do, it hurts

When all that's left to do is watch it burn

Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts"

My favorite song was...

Is hard to choose one, because today was a day full of several new songs. However, I will choose OneRepublic's new song called A.I., because it has a great vibe and it sounds pretty cool.

Choose: Heaven or hell / Two great videos

Panic! At The Disco - LA Devotee 

LA Devotee is the fourth single off by Panic! At The Disco, taken from their latest album Death of a Bachelor. The band has published the music video today and it's pretty satanic! Well, at leats it looks like one satanic video. The lyrics gives reference to "The black magic of Mulholland Drive" and "Sunsets on the evil eye", so maybe the video is like it is, because of those phrases. However, I'm not pretty sure if I like it or not, but the song is great.

"Sunsets on the evil eye

Invisible to the Hollywood shrine

Always on the hunt for a little more time

Just another LA Devotee"

Kings Of Leon - WALLS

Taken from their upcoming album Walls, Kings of Leon have published the music video for the song that gives the album title Walls. The music video is very simple, but the song isn't. Walls is a beautiful and sad ballad, that will make you getting goosebumps. It is truly a beautiful song.

"I could never point you out

Waste of space in a faceless crowd

Tell me what I have to say

If you know what’s right then you’ll walk away"

My favorite video was...

I'm not pretty sure of my answer, but I will choose Panic! At The Disco's newest video, but don't ask me why...because I don't know.

But what about you guys? What was your favorite video? Did you liked Panic's video? Do you think they are satanists? Leave a comment here and follow me on Twitter and Facebook (@JusSayinggBlog).

Blow your mind watching these new videos

Dua Lipa - Blow Your Mind (Mwah)

The English singer, songwriter and model Dua Lipa published the music video for her latest single "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)". I have to say that I really like Dua Lipa's music style and she has a great voice. Also, she has a lot of personality and I think that she reflects it in her music. Talking about the video, I think it is very sofisticated and she looks georgous and I like it, it's perfect for the song.

"Tell me I’m too crazy

You can’t tame me, can't tame me

Tell me I have changed

But I’m the same me, old same me"

Kings of Leon - Waste a Moment

After releasing the song, they have decided to publish the music video of the song "Waste a Moment". I like the song and its message, but I'm not pretty sure if the music video is my favorite or not.

"All the way from Waco to WE-HO with a rabbit on her chain

Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain

She's a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame

Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away"

Beck - Wow

The American singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Beck has published the music video for his last single "Wow". The music video is pretty cool and I like the beat of this trap song. However, I think that "Wow" is not that "wow", you know, it's not a great song is just another song and that's it.

"It's my life, your life

Live it once, can't live it twice

So nice, so nice

Song's like a tidal wave, take you on a getaway"

Austin Mahone - Send It (ft. Rich Homie Quan)

Austin Mahone has been releasing new tracks and he published the lyric video for his new single "Send It", featuring Rich Homie Quan. I like Austin's style, but I think this new song is so repetitive and it makes it boring. 

"Send it to my phone, send it to my phone

You already know I keep it on the low

Baby, you can trust me, promise I'm alone

I won't tell a soul, send it to my phone"

Green Day - Bang Bang

"Bang Bang" is the latest single by American rock punk band Green Day, taken from their upcoming album "Revolution Radio", that will be available on October 7th, 2016. I used to listen to Green Day's music when I was a teenager, so I know pretty well their music style and I can tell you that this is a fresh song, they still have its unique sound, but with new things. Talking about the music video, it looks like their past videos, so it's not a big surprise. However, I noticed that they didn't age at all, they still look "young".

"Bang, bang, give me fame

Shoot me up to entertain

I am a semi-automatic lonely boy

You're dead, I'm well fed"

Major Lazer - Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ)

Major Lazer has released a dance video for the song "Cold Water", featuring the Canadian singer Justin Bieber and the Danish singer MØ. "Cold Water" is a cool song and this collaboration is great. Furthermore, the dancers are very talented and the place where it was recorded is very beautiful.

"And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over

Into cold, cold water for you

And although time may take us into different places

I will still be patient with you"

My favorite video was...

Today I watched a lot of videos, but since the start Dua Lipa's new music video was my favorite.

The future sounds good! Listen these new tracks

OneRepublic - Future Looks Good 

The American pop rock band OneRepublic has released "Future Looks Good", taken from their upcoming fourth studio album "Oh My My", that will be available on October 7th, 2016. This beautifull ballad has an amazing message and I always liked OneRepublic's music style. I know that you'll love this new track.

"You are the future

He said that you are

You are the future

And the future looks good

The future looks good"

Kings Of Leon - Waste A Moment

The American rock band Kings of Leon released "Waste a Moment", taken from their upcoming album "Walls", which will be available on October 14th, 2016; you can pre-order it on iTunes. I have to say that I'm not a fan of this band. However, I liked the message of the song and even when I read some comments of people saying that it sounds different, I think that "Waste a Moment" sounds so them.

"Oh, take the time to waste a moment

Oh, facing where the lines are brok

Oh, name a price to all this living

Oh, never ask to be forgiven"

Die Antwoord - Fat Faded Fuck Face

Our favorite crazy motherfuck#rs have released a new song from their upcoming album. The song is called "Fat Faded Fuck Face". This new song is different to their latest songs released, because it has darker sound and it sounds more hip hop than electronic. I would like to know who they dedicate this song, because it has an strong message.

"Your legacy's overrated and your shit sounds dated

No longer famous, kids don't know what your name is

Something crawled up your anus and died

That's why your face is so fucked up"

My favorite song was...

It was the new OneRepublic's single, I think it has a beautiful message and I just love their music style.
