I will always recommend HitPredictor to anyone who loves music, but the new music this week was overall, in my opinion, pretty bad. So, I want to focus on the few songs that I did like this week. There were songs such as “January Jones,” “Joy and Misery,” and “Tighten Up” that were in the jukebox but had no artist title. I was impressed with whoever the artist was on these tracks because I think he is a really talented rapper. The rap remix “Tighten Up” was really creative and unique, so a big thumbs-up to this secret artist.
Chris Brown has been making a major comeback lately with a No. 1 song and movie. “Yeah 3x” is a really good dance tune and seems like it will be another hit from him. Although I like the song I do wish Brown would go back to making more R&B songs but “Deuces” was a very good R&B tune. “In for the Kill” by La Roux was not a very good dance song. Unlike “Bulletproof” this dance song was just filled with annoying vocals and techno tunes. I just really was not feeling this song. I could never, ever sit through an entire episode of Glee but their rendition of “Empire State of Mind” was really good. I do appreciate that cast of Glee have really great vocals and this is one of their best covers yet.
I’m not a follower of the rising stars coming from Disney so I am only familiar with Selena Gomez through HitPredictor. The other songs were cute pop but “Rock God” brings a lot more mature sound for Gomez and it really works. Rock God is a pop song with a slight rock edge that shows signs that her music is really upgrading to a new audience. “Runaway” by Kanye West feat. Pusha T. is another bizarre song from Kanye. Even though he seems like he knows he is wrong the song still has an air of arrogance to it. I don’t really pay much attention to anything Kanye says anymore because it never makes much sense. I really enjoyed the music of The Green Children, the song “Life Savior” has beautiful vocals and indie style music that is not heard every day. I really like the unique talent and sound of this group.
