Year 4, Day 38

Hey. So today's song is Mr. President by Pia Mia.

So Pia Mia is a triple threat career girl. She's a singer, songwriter, and model (and dance kind of judging by the video, but whatever.) She's also from Guam. I think she's the first singer I've featured from there so woohoo! She's younger than me which honestly isn't shocking, most new artists are, but despite still technically being in her teens she seems to have her shit together which is nice. We'll see if that lasts though. A lot of comments are saying someone should sing this to Obama, but what I really want is for someone to try and make him sing it through the clips. They managed to make him do the pokemon theme so anything is possible.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 37

What's Up. So today's song is Dangerous by Alyssa Reid.

Alyssa Reid is one of those artists that never comes to mind when I'm thinking of music I like, and yet every time I hear one of her songs I love it. It's truly a rare thing to enjoy all the songs by a particular artist. I am that way with a few different ones, and it looks like she's going to be added to that list. I've shown some other stuff by her before so you may be familiar with her already. Anyway check out the song and tell me what you think.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 36

Hey. So today's song is Worth It by Fifth Harmony featuring Kid Ink.

Okay, we need to have a conversation about this one. I... there are no words for this video. There is a fine line between empowerment for women and just acting like a Harlot. I use that word because it seems less offensive than the one I want to use. These girls are young and according to the women older than them in the industry this is empowerment. Now it may be for some people, but definitely not for me. Dressing in revealing clothes and rubbing your hands all over yourself is not the way to make people respect you because "you're worth it." It makes me very sad that these girls didn't even (most of them) make it to their twenties before hitting this point. Comparing the beginning of their career to now is... shocking to say the least. And now this song has become my sister's anthem. No words. I doubt I'll ever find some.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 35

Hey guys. So today's song is Baby Boy by Beyonce featuring Sean Paul.

Yes this is a singer that's already been used once in a short time, but it's technically two different artists. I imagine that this song was brought out shortly after Destiny's Child split up, but don't take my word for it. This is such a sexual song and yet it's another from my childhood. Everyone is so hypocritical about songs nowadays being too sexualized for children and yet that's how it's always been. I guess we are all just unaware of it as kids.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 34

Hello, today's song is Watch Me by Silento.

Yes, I'm jumping on the band wagon. It's ridiculous, it's definitely a one hit wonder and yet it has taken over the world. On a side note I showed my sister and mom a video with a Christmas spin on a bunch of songs, this one included. When it got to this one, my sister gave me the unimpressed face, and my mom was just confused because apparently she is one of the five people in the world who haven't heard of this song. I don't know what the fascination is with songs like these, but this is the first one (I think) since the superman dance a few years ago.. and by a few years I mean like ten. Whatever, this song is here and been checked off the list, I make no excuses or apologies. Deal with it.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 33

What's Up. Today's song is Lean On by Major Lazer and DJ Snake.

It's nice that this video had the lyrics in it because I honestly had no idea what was being said. It's possible to guess on some of it, but the blow a kiss part was something I never heard until I really tried to. I miss when you used to get those sleeves when you bought a CD that had all the lyrics in it. Not every artist did it and now that CD's are basically obsolete we never get them. I'm usually very good at picking up lyrics, but some songs require a little extra help. This being one of them. This song is pretty popular and I know I haven't featured the artist before so enjoy something relatively new.


Peace.

Year 4, Day 32

Hi everyone. So today's song is Mi Mi Mi by Serebro.

I got this song from the Jem movie which is going to be a large conversation later on an original song from the movie I feature. I can't deal with the Jem people yet. Let's just focus on this song. It's one that you would think I would find annoying too, but I don't. I actually really like it and have spent days singing in. It's so simple and catchy, so I wanted to share it with you guys. Also this video is a lyric video so in case you want to know what they actually say it's there. It will help you learn the song faster or add to the annoyance if this isn't your style. We'll see what prevails.

Peace.
