My blog tonight has no specific view or direction. I'm just going to talk about some songs that I recently heard that I think are really great or that the artist has a huge amount of potential. So, first off. I heard a song on a commercial and really liked it's sound. So I googled some lyrics I heard in the song and to my luck/surprise, it is sung by MACKLEMORE AND RYAN LEWIS. I serious love this guy. He is so different and is sound is varied and has a great beat behind all of his raps. Which brings me to the point that a lot of rap artists have great raps, but they lack a beat behind them, so the song is really dull. But this never happens with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, which is why I absolutely love them. Anyways, the song is called, "Can't Hold Us." Ugh, it is so great and upbeat. One might argue that it doesn't have much merit lyrically or musically, which makes me realize that the main reason I listen to music is to feel uplifted and positive - for entertainment. I don't really care what the lyrics say unless they drop multiple cuss words. As long as the song is catchy and upbeat, I basically love it. Which it's sad that it has taken me 7 months to figure out why I listen to music, but at least I know. But back to the point of this blog. This song is the jam. I can not wait to see what these guys produce next.

The next person I am going to talk about is a girl named Kat Dalhia. I reason I found out about her was because while Mr. A was looking up disco songs on Thursday, she and her new song were being advertised. Then that night, I was listening to the disco songs and her name came up again. So I thought, why not? I don't really know much about her because she is so new, but I do know that she is a Miami rapper. She recently released a song called "Gangsta." The lyrics of this song at times can be quite revolting. But the reason I am writing about her is because her voice. It is so deep and rich. She almost sounds like a man and a women, but then again not. It is so unexpected. And the sound of her voice makes her sound very genuine in her songs. I will have to say, this song definitely isn't the best thing ever. But I think she has so much potential. Her vocal capabilities are unbelievable and she can really do a lot with them. I will be looking out for her future work.
