The Students' Lifestyle

Sam Smith is one of my favorite artists at the moment. I'm sad that his popularity is growing because I want to keep his genius to myself. I know I sound pretty selfish, but I think I deserve some brownie points for promoting him before he became known in America. His song "I'm Not the Only One" has so much soul in it. Maybe I've been watching the James Brown movie trailer too much, but that kind of soul goes in the Mr. Brown hall of fame. I swear I can see Beyonce' or Mary J. Blidge singing this song. Especially Sasha Fierce Beyonce.  I really like the chorus of the song the most. Enjoy it for yourself.


 

Happy Friday folks! I thought since it's Friday, and we're all happy for the weekend that I will do a music review of Hyuna's "Red." I'm not a fan of the song, but the video is a standout. I got to give it to Hyuna, she may have Popsicle songs, but her music videos are legendary.  She always knows how to make a music video that keeps us talking.  Side note* I want to to applaud her for improving her live performances. She seems more confident on stage then ever!

Remember when I went on a rant about not finding a summer anthem? I was so upset about not finding the one perfect summer song that I settled for songs in the past. Well I spoken too soon because Sistar "Touch My Body," lifted me from my summer slump. When I first heard the song, I just knew I wouldn't like it, but then the song continued. I slowly started to fall for the song and the video.

I'm obsessed with Iggy's latest song "Change your Life." This weekend, I had nothing to study for which is a huge relief for me. Since I had nothing to do, I pulled a Bruno Mars and had a lazy day. Sometimes it feels so good to be lazy for a day.

I found a new Korean song that I'm obsessed with listening to nonstop. Ladies' Code released the song "Hate You" a week ago. I must say the song was love at first listen. I will admit I haven't been listening to that much K-Pop music especially after watching the trashy video "Wassup" by the the twerkin group Wassup. The song "Wassup"was not that bad, I just couldn't take the video. However, if it wasn't for that trashing video, I would not have discover this awesome song, "Hate You", by Ladies Code. The video reminds me of 2ne1's "It Hurts", but much creepier, mainly because of the weird Barbie Dolls. I really hope Ladies Code become a successful Rookie Group. Enjoy the video.

"We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus has been stuck in my head for a moment. To relieve the stress of the song-bug in my ear, I played the song one more time before I went to bed. I woke up the next morning still singing the tune. What's wrong with me? I saw the trashy video of "We Can't Stop" weeks ago, and the video itself turn me away from the song. Okay- Maybe if I hear the song one last time, I'll be over it for sure. However, I wasn't over the song, I soon realized the terrible revelation. I like the song! But how can I like a song by Miley Cyrus?  I'm sure there is some sort of explanation. It's a sad day when I like a trashy dance song that talks about "Molly." Well I have to go, I will  listen to "We Can't Stop", one last time... I hope. Save me!

She's sweet like honey addicting like cocaine. Honey Cocaine is not my favorite female rapper, but I respect her hustle. She now has new song "Young Dreamer". She raps about her dreams in the past. Tell us what you think:

So we're finding out a bit more about the "Make Thumb Noise" project that 2NE1 and Intel. Our first guess that a new song would come out of this is right, but now we've learned that we the fans get to help in the decision making process!

Here's the audio for Beyonce's new single "The Best Thing I Never Had" from her upcoming album 4. The reminds me of "Irreplaceable".  It talks about getting out a relationship after finding out that the person you were involved with just wasn't all they were cracked up to be. This is one song that
