"We Like To Party"

Alright, so as you can see I'm becoming a huge Beyonce fan! I have always loved her when she would since as a part of the group Destiny's Child but was never able to fully appreciate her for the music she began to perform as a solo artist (mostly because I was mad at her for not singing with Destiny's Child anymore). It wasn't until I saw the live performance of her song, 1+1 on American Idol in 2011 that I began to give in to her. I have to say that her latest album titled '4' is my favorite so far. Her voice is just so passionate; strong when it needs to be, and soft and soothing when it needs to be as well. In this new remix of her song, "Party", which is taken off of her latest album '4', and features rapper Andre 3000 from Outcast, the pop diva teams up with flourishing rapper, J. Cole who replaces Andre's verse with his own in the remix. J. Cole, who recently released his own album, 'The Sideline Story' even goes as far as to change up the lyrics to the song a bit, which was an interesting choice. This song is a fun listen for someone looking to pick up the mood for the day but ironically does not make you want to "party". I happen to be someone who loves the soulful feel to music so if you are too then you'd definitely love the song. In a way, Beyonce's part actually makes me reminisce over the kind of music she would make with Destiny's Child because of it's smooth and soothing feel. I love the way that J. Cole decided to change up the song a little bit and add in his 2 cents worth as well. Great work by the two artists if you ask me. The video for "Party" is said to premiere tomorrow, October 25th on BET's "106 & Park".

This is one of my favorite songs so I decided to share it!

5 O'Clock

Recently, T-Pain released "5 O'Clock", featuring Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen title. The song is his first released single which will be featured on his upcoming album, "RevolveR", which does not yet have a set release date. This song first caught my eye when I saw who it was that was singing with him. I found it unusual that someone like T-Pain, an American rapper and R&B singer would team up with Lily Allen, a British pop star, and Wiz Khalifa, another American rapper. You can see in the picture below just how different all these artists are from each other just by their style. I absolutely love all three of these artists though and thought this song was absolute genius! It's something that's a little more chilled out compared to music that currently plays on hip-hop radio stations. The video made for this song is pretty much a story that literally acts out the lyrics to the song. In the video T-Pain recieves a text from a girl, Lily Allen with her asking him to go over to her house/apartment, I don't know what it is. So then the entire video just shows him walking over and singing. Wiz really doesn't take too big of a role in the video. He kind of shows up randomly in the video, sings, and then I guess just to incorporate him into the story, he ends up bumping into T-Pain on the sidewalk. The video isn't really anything too special but the song itself is great. Something mellow and chilled out that you can listen to on a relaxed day at work...as I'm doing now:)

This is just an acoustic cover of the song that I came across and thought was pretty good!
