Soweto

Hey everyone!
It’s weekend! But actually that is not the most important thing, what is more important it that today I will post my number one favorite song of today. And the winner is: ‘’Soweto’’ by the hieroglyphics! Soweto is a rap song but what really appeals me about this song is the very original beat. The beat mainly consists out of some sort of stringed instrument and drums. Also the voices are a combination of rapping and normal singing. All the refrains are normally sung but everything outside of the refrain is rapped. What adds up to this effect is that the singing is done by a woman and the rapping is done by multiple man. This gives a very nice contrast and makes it very good to listen to. So this was it for the series of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoyed it and maybe you understand my taste of music better after reading it.
Cheers!

SOS

Hi people,
No this is no ‘’save our soul’’ blog, but it is another post to the question which five songs I would listen if I were to get lost in the desert with battery power left to listen only five songs. Today’s song is ‘’SOS’’ by Rihanna. SOS is a combination between dance/R&B and was released in 2006. What I like about this song is just the fact that Rihanna managed to make a great combination between dance and R&B. It is a song that both R&B listeners as well as dance listeners can enjoy at the same time. The song basically consists of a dance beat in the background and R&B singing. It is a great song that you should definitely try to listen to if you haven’t already heart it. Anyways, see you tomorrow for the final song that is on number one of my favorite song list.

Until the stars fall from the sky

Hi dear followers,
Today is Thursday and I have been listening all day to this new song I found lately. This song is called ‘’Until the stars fall from the sky’’ and is composed by Mark Hoppus. It is on the third place of my favorite songs at the moment. Until the stars fall from the sky is a song that is very hard to classify in a certain group as the song is a combination of all sorts of things. Firstly it sounds a bit like a rock song as there is an electrical guitar which play’s for quite a big part of the song. However the singing has nothing to do with rock, it is more like pop. What I really like about this song is that they have found a way to change from electrical guitar to steel drums in the song and it totally makes sense. Also this song is very happy and will probably give you a happy feeling.
That was the song for today, be sure to check it out and see you tomorrow!

Little by Little

Hello everyone,
It is a new day, so a new favorite song! The song that comes in at the 4th place of my favorite songs is ‘’little by little’’ by the Chicharones. Little by little is a rap song and it was made by the Chicharones, a quite infamous group. I like this song so much because also this song is an alternative rap song that doesn’t sound like any other rap song. The thing that makes this song so different is the piano that continues throughout the song. The biggest part of the beat in the background is performed by the piano together with drums. What I also like about this song is that , unlike in most raps, the background music isn’t only performed by instruments but voices are also used.
See you tomorrow!

Sorry, Sorry!

Hello everyone.
As you may have noticed, the blogs for my five favorite songs haven't been updated since tuesday. I would like to appoligize for this. I was very busy with school and so I didn't have time to upload the blogs. I did already make the blogs though in my notebook and this afternoon I will put the text onto my computer and upload them on my website. The blogs will be uploaded in order of how much I like them, just to be sure we are on the same page.
Stay Tuned

My favorite music

What five music songs will I listen when I'm lost in the desert and my iPod only has enough battery power to play five full songs. This is the question that I will be answering in the coming five days. Everyday I will upload a blog with one of the songs I like most and with a description why. Today's song is Deliverance by Bubba Sparxxx. Deliverance is a song that I like very much because Bubba Sparxxx has accomplished to deliver a song that is both classified as country and rap. He has created a great balance between the two, a nice country style beat in the background with on top a sort of soft rapping. The main instrument used in this song is an acoustic guitar, which is not so common for rap songs but very common for country songs. The fact that this song is so different from other rap and country songs makes it very enjoyable to listen to. Also Bubba Sparaxxx has made a nice text with good rhymes. What is nice about this song too, and immediately noticed is that this song doesn't contain even one bad word. Mostly in rap songs, rappers use a lot of slang and bad words but Bubba Sparxxx made rhymes that could be just as well in a soul song. To add things up, this song is just a dream to listen to and should definitely be one of the songs to listen to when lost in a desert with only 5 songs left.
