'Harder
to Breath'
Maroon 5 |
| |
Adam
Levine, the front man of Maroon 5, has become much more confident
with the release of their second album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long.
'Harder to Breath', their latest single from the new single is in
one word, funky.
Rocked to the core, retro in treatment, flirtatious in tone, the single
sees Adam in his full element as a vocalist as he sings, "How
dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable/So condescending unnecessarily
critical/I have the tendency of getting very physical/So watch your
step cause if I do you'll need a miracle".

The song is essentially a love song but unlike past hits such as 'She
Will Be Loved' and 'This Love', it is definitely more in-your-face,
a little bit like how Justin Timberlake often gets with his lyrics.
Maybe this is a reflection on past and rather public relationships
Adam Levine has had with divas like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson.
A funky number so download it now. |

World
Hold On (Children of the Sky)
Bon
Sinclair featuring Steve Edwards
|
| |
When
it comes to dance-tracks, 'World Hold On' is undoubtedly one of the
most addictive songs to come out in recent times.
Bob Sinclair is probably an optimist. The song is about holding on
to hope and remembering the children of tomorrow will ask for answers.
He sings, "One day you will have to answer to the children of
the sky/Look inside, you'll find a deeper love/The kind that only
comes from high above/If you ever meet your inner child, don't cry,
no no/Tell them everything is gonna be alright."
The number has become a chart-topper in not just Europe and America
buyt on world charts as well.

Although
various artists have done many remixes of this tune, the one that
is an essential download… with the original is done by E-Smoove.
A fantastic mix, it went onto to pick up a Grammy nomination in the
Best Remix Recording, Non-Classical category.
With a recurring whistle, clanging sounds, turntables at their eclectic
best, it's an incredible feel-good dance tune |

'Never
Say Never'
Queens of the Stone Age |
| |
A
teasing riff, a crunched sound that goes almost metal in the middle
only to return to the opening riff, Josh Homme in an almost talking
vocal-style and very tripped out lyrics make 'Never Say Never' one
hell of a song.
Originally done by new wave band Radio Void, the cover version was
done Queens of the Stone Age in 2004 for the John Travolta film, The
Punisher, based on a comic book.
While Seether's 'Broken' remains the most famous tune from The Punisher
soundtrack, 'Never Say Never' is actually one of the finest songs
on it.

It's
a rock song but it retains an element of fun that is often lost in
the aggression that comes with rock music. Lyrically its bouncy as
it goes, "I might like you better/If we slept together/But there's
somethin/In your eyes that says/Maybe that's never/Never say never."
Queens of the Stone Age have been around for over a decade but 'Never
Say Never' is easily one of the best songs this acid rock act has
produced. Check it out. |

'Where'd
You Go'
Fort Minor featuring Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga |
| |
Fort
Minor, the brain child of Linkin Park songwriter/ rapper/producer
Mike Shinoda's 360-degree turn from the straight-up sound of his super-successful
band.
In between breaks from Meteora tours, Linkin Park's third album and
creation of Minutes to Midnight, Mike created this band as a creative
outlet for music that is hugely different from Linkin Park in every
way. Vocals, sound, lyrics - it is unlike anything Linkin Park has
done.
'Where'd You Go' off their first album, The Rising Tied, is simply
super. Musically it leans towards the sound of electronica with keyboards
playing a huge part and turntables forming the mellow structure. And
even though, this is electronica, it is not out loud, dance number
but more tripped out. |
 |
This number is about long-distance relationships as well as the
outcome of what happens in relationships when career takes priority.
Certainly not aggressive in tone, it is about missing people and
the absence of their being in one's lives.
While Mike holds the rapping together, Holly sings the chorus and
does a lovely job at that. A powerful number that deserves applause.
