Beyonce - Blow Download + Review

Hey everyone,  some of you might be a bit suprised, considering the fact that a new Beyonce album came out and I didn't review it,  that's because I physically COULD NOT DO IT. The only reason I survived the 19 heart attacks I had the hour it was released was because of my will to listen to it. With that being said,  I pulled myself together enough to review the first pop single off the album,  Blow.

Blow, as does every song off of Beyonce, oozes sex from the beginning:

Keep me coming, keep me going, keep me coming, keep me going

Keep me humming, keep me moaning, keep me humming, keep me moaning

Don't stop loving 'til the morning, don't stop loving 'til the morning

Don't stop screaming, freaking, blowing

And that's only the pre-chorus! Every line is sung incredibly sensually, backed by pianos, bass, and any instrument you can think of, which together, strongly channel the 80's. The vocals and instruments all work together great, always channeling the same emotion from the listener.

However, about a little after midway through the track, everything switches up, with Beyonce letting her power come out a bit more (still not too much, however) along with the beat switching up, adding more elctro beats, along with more bass. The song then goes into Beyonce just kinda moaning all over the place, which somehow still works (since it's Beyonce) before we get the pre-chorus and chorus once more, before the song ends.

Overall, this is one of my favorites off the album, and probably my favorite pop song, take a listen above, and tell me what you think! See you all soon!

                                                           

Karmin- I Want it All: Review + Download

Amy! You forgot your pants :o

Hey everyone! On Tuesday, Karmin released their long awaited second single from their debut studio album, Pulses, I Want it All. Will this manage to garner the success that their top 20 hit "Brokenhearted" achieved? Find out after the jump!

There are two very noticeable differences from this song from their previous singles, the first being that we actually get some (emphasis on the some) singing from the other half of Karmin, Nick. While it isn't much, it adds some diversity to the uptempo song.

The other difference is that this track features no rapping from front runner Amy. All other original songs from the duo have featured at least one verse of rapping, a component missing from I Want it All, and, I'm not sure how this will affect the song's airplay standings, as Amy's rapping skills are panned by some, and acclaimed by others, the omitting of rapping in this single could increase, or decrease its airplay.

The uptempo pop record has a large 80s feel to it,that shines mostly in the instrumental track, that works wonders on the flawless vocal track. All aspects of the song work very well together, and this song works well in showcasing Heidemann's vocals in a light we haven't heard them in previous singles. Take a listen above, and tell me what you think of the new single!
