It's so hard to choose just one! New music for new experiences


As the days has passed, our favorite artists have released new songs and today, in this following list you'll find the best seven new tracks that I have heard in these past days. Find the new song by Sia, Troye Sivan, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Kylie Minogue and more!

Zedd - The Middle (feat. Maren Morris & Grey)
The amazing Zedd has finally released a new song titled "The Middle" featuring Maren Morris and Grey. I think that the latest tracks that he has been releasing are great and this one is my new favorite. The song is about stop fighthing and just start the love again, I really loved the massage and I think that it's the first time that I heard to Maren Morris and I loved her voice, she sounds just perfect in this track.


Thirty Seconds To Mars - Dangerous Night
Thirty Second To Mars have released a new song called "Dangerous Night" and it's a love song. I liked its beat, because it sounds very fresh and it's less "dark" than their past songs. It's a catchy song and I feel like it could be a new hit for them.


Sia, David Guetta & Afrojack - Helium
I think that we weren't waiting for this collaboration; however, I'm glad that it's real, because this new song is beautiful and emotional. Sia is singing about wanting the love of that person that makes her life better. "Helium" is an electronic ballad that I'm sure you'll love.


Kylie Minogue - Dancing
Kylie Minogue has returned with her new single "Dancing" that forms part of her upcoming album "Golden". This new track has a sweet rhythm, it mixes a little bit of country vibes with her dance pop that all we love. I have to say that she's one of the few singers that I still listen since a child, so this new single is very fresh to me. I liked it, but I hope that she can release a more powerfull single than this one.


Troye Sivan - The Good Side
First of all, I have to say that I wasn't expecting this song to sounded as it sounds, but don't get me wrong, it's a great song. After his first single, that has a strong rhythm, Troye has decided to released a beautiful breakup song titled "The Good Side". It's a guitar ballad and when it first started with the sound of like a harp, I thought that it was going to be as "My My My!" but it wasn't! It was very suprising, but it was a good surprise.


Beth Ditto - I'm Alive
Beth Ditto has released a new song (that is not that new), because the song "I'm Alive" is a cover. The song belongs to Tommy James & The Shondells, which is a  rock band, formed in Niles, Michigan in 1964. Nevertheless, this kind of 60s-70s vibe goes perfect for Beth's voice, it's a simple song, but its message is clear and powerful.


Rita Ora - Proud
The British singer Rita Ora is keeping releasing new songs and this time she has giving us an empowering song called "Proud". This is a pop ballad and as the title says, it's about being proud of who we are and to stay in that mood forever. I love the message, but something is missing, I mean, it's not like that kind of songs that I really feel.



Tell me guys, what was your favorite song? If I had to choose my favorite one from this list, I would choose "The Middle" by Zedd. Please leave a comment and/or share this blog.

The 20 Best Albums of 2016 (1/2)


This year was full of great album debuts and non debuts (for some) however, there were 20 albums which excelled more than others, because of the fresure and originality. In the next list, I will share with you the best 20 albums of 2016, according to me. Before you read the albums that I chose, I want to tell you that was very difficult to choose just 20, because the truth is that 2016 was a great year for music and us, fans.
No more to add, here it is the list of The 20 Best Albums of 2016 part one by Jus' Sayingg:

Panic! at the Disco - Death of a Bachelor (January 15th, 2016)

Album cover
"Death Of A Bachelor is in honor of those times I spent alone as a kid. Allowing music to consume me. Playing everything myself just to get the idea right and out of my head." Brendon Urie
I am pretty sure that it is their most successful album so far, as it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with 190,000 album units, earning the band its best sales week and first number one album.

My favorite song: Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time

Sia - This Is Acting (January 29th, 2016)

Album cover
"I’m calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn’t go in thinking ‘this is something I would say’. It’s more like play-acting. It’s fun." Sia
Personally, I consider Sia as one of the most talented songwriters of this century and This Is Acting is perfect lyrically, each song has a beautiful message and a danceable rhythm, without forgetting her amazing ballads.

My favorite song: Cheap Thrills


Lion Babe - Begin (February 5h, 2016)

Album cover
"We wanted there to be a certain duality, like there is with Blondie, with me as the frontwoman, you might think I'm Lion Babe, but it's like, no, we're Lion Babe. We liked that. It's about embracing your uniqueness and rocking it." Jillian Hervey
Begin is the debut album by Lion Babe, the neo soul duo formed in New York City. It is the perfect example of how to make an unforgettable debut album. 

My favorite song: Satisfy My Love

ZAYN - Mind of Mine ( March 25th, 2016)

Album cover
"I realized I couldn’t put any input in … because it didn’t fit the grain of what we were as a band and what we represented. That’s when it got frustrating for me." Zayn
Mind of Mine is Zayn's debut album that have made me to believe in Zayn's artistry. I've never been an 1D fan, but when Zayn left the band, I thoght he was not going to make it on his own, but he shut my mouth with this killer album.

My favorite song: sHe

Beyoncé - Lemonade (April 23th, 2016)

Album cover
"Grandmother. The alchemist. You spun gold out of this hard life. Conjured beauty from the things left behind. Found healing where it did not live. Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen. Broke the curse with your own two hands. You past these instructions down to your daughter, who then passed them down to her daughter.” Beyoncé (speech from the visual album)
Released in a surprisingly way, this visual album is the proof that Beyoncé is one of the few artists that never disappoints and she is always exploring new music genres. Each album is always better than the last one.

My favorite song: DADDY LESSONS

Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman (May 20th, 2016)

Album cover
"'Dangerous Woman' is a lot stronger. ... To me, a dangerous woman is someone who's not afraid to take a stand, be herself and to be honest." Ariana Grande
Ariana made it clear that she is not a little girl anymore and that this new album is just the beginning of a new era. It is primarily a pop and R&B album, with influences of house and dance-pop.

My favorite song: Touch It

Yuna - Chapters (May 20th, 2016)

Album cover
"Songwriting was natural to me, but trying to find that deep place is a rare thing to do when you’ve been writing a long time. … After I wrote all of it, I realized these were like chapters I had in my head lined up. It was me coming out of a relationship and learning how to love yourself." Yuna
Yuna is the best example that when you have talent there is no boundries of any kind.

My favorite song: Best Love

Flume - Skin (May 27th, 2016)

Album cover
"I wanted to do something that had more of a progressive feel to it. Something that takes you on a journey, less of a verse/chorus feel." Flume (talking about one track of the album)
Four years had to pass to get this amazing album by Australian electronic musician Flume. Skin is an album where you will find a mixture of different music genres, such as: EDM, electro-pop, dance-pop, wonky, future bass and hip-hop.

My favorite song: Never Be Like You (feat. Kai)

Tom Odell - Wrong Crowd (June 10th, 2016)

Album cover
"I wanted the songs to sound big and dramatic; big strings and melodies emphasizing the songs further – rich in musicality and holding nothing back. ...I started developing this story of a guy, using some of my experiences, so this person on the album is half me, half not me." Tom Odell
 Even when it could be described as a sad album, it is beautiful and Tom Odell shows his most vulnerable side, through dramatic ballads and rhythmic melodies.

My favorite song: Silhouette

Broods - Conscious (June 24th, 2016)

Album cover
"It’s a metaphor for keeping alert and aware of everything that’s happening around us at the moment. It talks about being in a sleeping state. You don’t have control over your speed or strength." Georgia Nott
It is one of the best electro-pop albums of the year and Broods have made unforgettable songs with beautiful messages and amazing beats.

My favorite song: Are You Home

The greatest three music videos of the day!


Sia - The Greatest
The Australian singer and songwriter Sia has released a new song called "The Greatest", featuring the rapper Kendrick Lamar. However, the version of the music vido doesn't have Kendrick's part. The music video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill who has been working with Sia in several videos, such as: "Chandelier", "Elastic Heart", etc. Furthermore, we can see the young dancer  Maddie Ziegler doing what she does best.This new song is amazing, has a powerful message and its rhythm is great. Talking about the video, I think that it's the same that she been doing since "Chandelier", but it never gets old.

"And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb
But I, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, I need another love, be mine
Cause I, I, I got stamina"


Kanye West - Fade
Kanye has finally published the music video for "Fade", on his Youtube account. The song comes in his last album "The Life of Pablo" and the track is made of four samples: Fingers Inc.’s “Mystery of Love (Club Mix),” Hardrive’s house song, “Deep Inside,” Ms. Barbara Tucker’s vocals from “I Get Lifted,” and Rare Earth’s “(I Know) I’m Losing You.” 
The music video features Teyana Taylor an American recording artist and actress. I read some comments about the video and almost all of them say that, it is like "Soft Porn" and I agree! Even when it isn't a sexual video, it looks like one, because Teyana shows her (beautiful, sexy, etc) body while dancing and almost at the end, she is "taking a shower" with a guy, naked! So, that's why it looks like a sexual video. By the other hand, the end of the video is weird and I don't understand its meaning, but nobody cares when you see Teyana dancing, right?

"When no one ain't around (I feel it's fadin')
I think I think too much (I feel it's fadin')
Ain't nobody watchin' (I feel it's fadin')
I just fade away"


Teyana Taylor - Champions freestyle
If you hadn't enough of Teyana Taylor, here is her newest music video! Yes, because she also is singer / rapper (or something like that). I have to say that, it is the first time  I heard Teyana's music. However, this song is cool and I like her voice and she has a great body and if I repeat it is because in the video we can notice that, she never wear a lot of clothes. Furthermore, the cool thing of the video is that, it was created with photographs in stop motion!

"Please say a prayer for em
Get these bitches out the way for em
First lady go cray for em
So I loaded up the AK for em"


My favorite video was...

Teyana Taylor looks amazing in Kanye West's video. However, we have to admit that Sia's new song is better than "Fade". Also, Sia always surprises us with her creative way of create music videos.

Top five videos by Sia


I decided to choose the top five videos by Sia today, because she has already released her newest music video for the song "The Greatest".

Her career started as a jazz singer in the 90s, but was until 1997 when she released her debut album called "OnlySee", which is a trip hop album. However, the first song that I heard was "Clap Your Hands", taken from "We Are Born" her fifth studio album released in 2010. So, the next list will have her five best music videos, according to me:

5. Sia - Clap Your Hands
Sia joked to Spin Magazine that this is obviously "a really deep song, as I'm sure the title infers." She added: "It's a song I'd write for a movie like Sex And The City. Seriously, I was trying to write a song that might get pitched for a girly movie. It's fun to dance to."


4. Sia - Elastic Heart 
The song's music video reunites "Chandelier" director Daniel Askill, choreographer Ryan Heffington and Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler. The clip features a dance battle between a shirtless Shia LaBeouf (Transformers, Fury) and a blonde-bobbed Maddie Ziegler in a giant bird cage.


3. Sia - Chandelier 
Billboard magazine chose this as their Best Song of 2014. They said: "The towering YOLO anthem 'Chandelier' took months to reach the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, but pop purveyors embraced its sentiment and Sia's performance almost immediately, turning the camera-shy Australian into an American star."


2. Sia - Cheap Thrills
The song was Sia's first Hot 100 chart-topper as an artist. She'd previously reached #1 as the writer of Rihanna's "Diamonds."



1. Sia - Fire Meet Gasoline
 It stars model Heidi Klum and actor Pedro Pascal (he played Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones) as a couple caught up in a steamy love affair. Klum told MTV News that she wasn't initially at ease with the love scenes. "I guess it is always strange when you meet someone for the first time and within 5 minutes, you are tongue-kissing that person. Very odd,"


What do you think about the list? Do you think it is missing any other video? What's your favorite Sia's music video? Leave a comment here and don't forget to read the last posts. Furthermore, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
