Ok so number one - BIRDY!
She became famous a little while ago for doing a cover of Bon Iver - Skinny Love. I heard her version first which is her playing the piano and singing, I loved it but as usual some people said the original was better so I checked it out and still preferred Birdy's version.
So she's 14/15 years old and her voice is just amazing, she can hit really high notes and just sound amazing (I need to learn a new word other than amazing!) , she was discovered by Fearne Cotten a radio 1 DJ and I am so glad cause I love her stuff. And now Birdy has a new song out again I think it's a cover but it's called Shelter, you should check it out on her youtube >> http://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialBirdy << some people keep criticising Birdy for not doing her own songs and just doing covers well all I can say is I find sometimes it really annoys me when people do covers of a song and it's just like the original, so at least she's changing the song to suit her and introducing new people to the originals right? But she also does do her own songs I've managed to find one which I will put in here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHGSpNqhrUs&feature=channel_video_title << she is also bringing out her own album in September 2011 I think. So I would check her music out and keep an eye out!
Ok number two - my new music obsessions lately!
So I get bored of music quite quickly, so I was just searching around for some new tunes whilst on study leave..
And I came across all of these;
1. I'm into you Ft. Lil Wayne - Jennifer Lopez ;
Well I heard this agggeeees ago and I really didn't like it if I'm honest but as it's been played more and more it's grown on me I'm sad to say ;) so I gave in and got it today, have a feeling I'll find myself in my exam tomorrow just singing along to this quietly!
2. Right There Ft. 50 cent - Nicole Scherzinger ;
Same situation as the song above! :') Both these songs are perfect for chilling in summer and stick in your head all day so by Saturday you can guarantee I'll hate them!
3. Wonderland (peacetreaty dubstep remix) - Natalia Kills ;
Get ready for a long story! Well, originally me and my friend Sam liked the original song which is still really good, but I came across this, and I'm not normally a huge fan of dubstep but it's been dubstep week on Radio 1 and it is definitely growing on me. So when I listened to the original in comparison there was no compitition, the dubstep version won.. the beat and all just all of it is really good and worth a listen !
4. If I was you (OMG) Ft. Snoop Dog - Far East Movement ;
Again it'll probably become quite popular I think and it's quite catchy, more of a party, summer song.
And that's all as I'm becoming to lazy to write much else! :')
