Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj- Bang Bang Review + Listen

Late on the night of July 28th, the new collaborative effort between 3 of the biggest names in music, Bang Bang was release to iTunes worldwide. Were the huge amounts of hype circulating this release really worth the finished product? Find out after the jump.


Bang Bang is an upbeat urban pop banger, with the first word I would use to describe it as is loud. The entirety of the 3 and a half minute track sounds like a party, with powerhouse, impeccable vocals, coupled with a clap led unending instrumental track that works perfectly with all three artists' unique style.
The 3 leads all bring something different to the song with each of their verses, making for an interesting track that doesn't dull throughout its run. Ariana and Jessie's vocals compliment each other perfectly in the chorus, and each manages to shine in their own verse. Nicki's rapid fire flow allows her verse to hit all the high marks, as the 3 all join in the chorus to deliver a staple in every party playlist.



Overall, this is an amazing song. The 3 vocalists all bring something different to the table in this new collaborative track that soars above and beyond all their fanbases' expectations. The track is already shooting up (ha) iTunes charts worldwide, and is shaping up to be a global smash for weeks.

Ariana Grande Ft. Zedd- Break Free - Review + Listen




I wrote this on July 2nd and it never published, oops... here it is anyways...

On July 2nd, Ariana Grande unveiled her newest single, Break Free, on a one day revival episode of TRL, entitled Total Ariana Live, to hordes of screaming fans (including me) in and outside of MTV studios, and across America. So, how does the new Zedd assisted single stack up to her smash hit Problem? Find out below!

The single is definitely more pop than most Ariana singles, ditching her R&B/Pop vocal style, mainly due to the upbeat, dance-able instrumental track contributed by DJ Zedd, maker of other hits including the smash "Clarity". The bass heavy instrumental leads the track through most of the song, and really contributes to the song, which could soon be a hit in clubs and radio stations through out the country alike.


While the track doesn't do much of a job at showing off Ariana's incredible vocal range and power, previous singles defined her as one of the voices of our generation. This fun, upbeat single is something different for Grande, and could very well serve her her 1st Billboard Hot 100 #1.

What did you all think of the track? Post your opinions below, and I'll see you in the next review!
