Azealia banks recently released her new album 'Broke With Expensive Taste'. Anyone who has been following her career knows that this release is well over due, it's also not without a bit of drama, because apparently she has released this sans record label. (Oh my glob, drama bomb).

I haven't had the chance to sit down and listen to the album from start to finish, but I am loving what I've heard so far, including this song which serves as the first single. Visually I am in lorve, it's like a tribute to the female titans of hip hop and in the current climate of ... watered down rap, I think it's a nice touch,

Enjoy!

It's been a while (two years) since I posted anything Stromae. He has a new album! and I stumbled across his new song completely by accident and I'm currently riding the Stromae train again. Come aboard companions and enjoy this with me. On a serious note, I personally think he is quite an interesting artist (and a slight comedian), his songs are usually quite meaningful with a pretty cool vid to go with it. Here are some of the new ones I watched yesterday:

McCoy Tyner - Salvadore De Samba

My dad is quite eclectic when it comes to music, one of his favorite genres of music is latin jazz. I've grown up hearing sounds like this throughout the house and I've come to know most of them, but my dad was playing this last weekend as we were all doing a bit of gardening and I had never heard this song before. As the title states it is pretty amazing!

A bit of a music snob, i'm usually of the opinion that if it's in the charts, I don't want to hear it. If it's on the radio? I doubly do NOT care.

Sometimes, and I hate to say it, but I sometimes wonder if i'm turning into one of those "I liked them BEFORE they..." kind of people. Why am I lying? I am pretty much already one of those people look...

I CAN'T HELP IT THAT I'M SO COOL AND KNOW ABOUT EVERYTHING COOL BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE DOES, DO YOU KNOW WHAT TREND RESEARCHERS CALL ME? A TASTE MAKER. THAT'S RIGHT. REVEL IN MY UNIQUENESS.

I had to get that off my chest.

But as I get older I realise that, that side of my personality is so unattractive. It also prevents me from enjoying a LOT of things because i'm too busy analysing it. I've consciously tried to stop doing it recently, because I had the revelation that, even though I may not enjoy everything that is happening pop culture wise, it is still happening in my time. I don't want to miss out on my time because i'm too busy looking down on everything.

So the point: I usually do not listen to the radio because of reasons I've already explained but if i'm only listening to my iPod -that I haven't properly updated in about 5 years- chances are that amongst the shiet, i'm actually missing out on things I like. Just like this song by Deadmau5, a song that i've recently heard because the office i'm in at the moment plays BBC radio 1:

I really really, really. REALLY. Like this song. Deadmau5 is actually one of the artists I used to kind of despise because I thought he was a try hard "what do you know about dubstep".

Also, and this is the one that surprised me. I realised that I actually like a One direction song. GRANTED, RADIO 1 PLAYS IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY, SO ITS PROBABLY A SLIGHT CASE OF MIND PROGRAMMING HERE. But regardless of whether its the illuminati playing with my brain or not, I'm still really excited whenever this song comes on:




This week my 14 year old twin sisters ridiculed me when they heard me singing this song ("THAT SONG'S SO OLD"), that's going to be an inevitable side effect of opening my arms wide to the world and receiving everything I've missed. I'm going to have to deal with a lot of 'old me' behavior from everyone else.

I guess that's my punishment for being a mainstream hating lady pants.

Are both releasing albums in June this year, Timberland is quoted as saying that the aim is to release their videos and singles at the same to "do it as a movement" ^_____^

I R very excite for this. Last year I basically ignored everything that was released music wise, mainstream music doesn't have to be boring but in my opinion it all took a steady decline in 2011. Overall it was either really braindead (see Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and their companyons), or really 'soulful' 'good' music (see Adele and Jessie J, both of which took a train in from snoozeville and proceeded to brainwash the masses). It was also the year mainstream music abused my beloved Dance genre, obviously there were a few anomalies here and there but ultimately they didn't get much chart love.

EN EE WAY. It is only February and already i've been impressed with what the music industry wants to offer me and now this new info is the icing on top of the cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake. It'll be cool to have some interesting stuff in the charts again, do you remember when Miss Demeanor and Timbo were running thangs? Let me remind you.
