I'm back, did you miss me?
HERE IS MY SONG OF THE DAY
This song screams summer, no stress, no school, no relationships, no work. It makes you just accept the world and reminds you that life is too short to not do what you want and enjoy it.
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life
If you're not a Justin Bieber fan, put that aside for a minute and please check out his latest release Where are U Now. I heard this song at an event at my college a while ago and couldn't help but wonder who was it. I like how JB stayed low-key for a little while and people got a chance to somewhat miss his music. His last album release was in 2013so it was only right that he put out something new. This is a great summer hit and all I can think about is the beach, festivals and funnel cake! I would be disappointed if this song didn't get any bigger.
The awards was filled with all the urban A-list celebs with a touch of ratchet as always. I have to say that the hosts Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross really did lighten the mood and the duo really seems to have natural chemistry. It seems like every year most of the top stars don't attend anymore such as Rihanna, Jay Z, Kanye West, AND Beyonce. SUPPORT BLACK ENTERTAINMENT! And of course when Rihanna was told that she couldn't throw money at the audience while debuting her trailor for her new music video for Bitch Betta Have My Money, she threw the money in the BET worker's face. Rihanna got on stage and made it known that she only attended because she wanted to just debut her video. OUCH! IN YOUR FACE BET!


What a brat. Another moment that I disliked was when Nicki Minaj got to accept her final award of the night for her song Only, she got on stage and asked what award is she winning. That moment I realized that as many black artists become mainstream, they forget where they came from and don't care to take the awards seriously. I thought to myself many of these artists would never dare to do or say these things at the GRAMMYs, or the Oscars, any award that has majority white people . They put away the obnoxious behavior and act humble and make it all about the music. That is why I never really favor mainstream artists because many of them come off as full of themselves. That's why I typically focus on underground artists because they sometimes come off as humble.Though I love mainstream music, it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming with all the massive egos. K Michelle, K Michelle. All I saw was fake a**. IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH. There's no way it looks normal like seriously, tone it down. Her performance was over sexual and the moaning made me feel uncomfortable.
If you aren't familiar with Pia Mia, you ought to get to know her because she is full of energy and most importantly her AMAZING vocals. This is something we don't usually see in today's pop music because we usually get a catchy hook and some average voice. This young beauty surely has the talent and the spark to come with it. Go check out Her DO IT AGAIN video on vevo!
Just Me...
Erik Hassle has a way of making really dark catchy pop music that you want to replay over and over. His new song No Words, is definitely on my summer playlist. Give it a chance, after the first two listens it's guaranteed to stick. An underrated summer hit in my opinion of course and its sure to put you in a good mood.

Was Kanye right about Beck? Though Beck has been around for a while it seems like Kanye did him a huge favor bringing in a large amount of new fans just like how he did with Taylor Swift back in 2009 at the MTV VMA's. Let's face it, Kanye basically helped boost these two artists career by mocking them. Beck won a Grammy for best album of the year in February for his folk rock inspired album Morning Phase which was a new twist based on what original fans say. Now flash forward to this year, Beck is back to his old style Punk, with a dash of pop. Although I was never familiar with the artist before the Grammy's, I heard of his new release, Dreams and would have to say that it is refreshing. The track opens with heavy drums, tight guitar and has this upbeat melodic feel. Its a far cry from his album last year and this just proves that Beck can be a musician for almost every music lover. The track is disappointing to some of Beck's older fans because they feel that it is soulless and has a tainted indie feel that is trying to appeal to mainstream pop. Overall this track will draw in a lot more listeners and force them to become somewhat fans.
The Goddess herself, creates a sound like no other.
Some may say she is the female version of "The Weeknd", though she uses similar vocal skills as "The Weeknd" , Banks is highly dynamic and is what mainstream music is calling for. The artist did create major buzz in the year 2013 when the album was released music lovers truly respected the humble artist and now has a huge fan bass. Banks is influenced from past artists such as Fiona Apple so no wonder she creates such dominant, head turning, powerful sounds. The album starts with my favorite so far Alibi and This is what it feels like . Truthfully the whole album is genius and if you're unfamiliar, make it a big deal to get familiar with her music.
