This is a segment I'm seriously stoked about starting up. It'll be a frequent blog post about what's new in music this week, whether it be someone topping the charts or a new album hitting stores. I'm also going to be pretty widespread about the music I pick, covering artists from different genre's so that I can...satisfy everyone's musical cravings. ;)
Alright, so, let's get down to business. This week in music...
John Mayer released his new single Shadow Days on March 6th.
The Good: His lyrics stay true to his heartwrenching, disastrously beautiful older tunes. Seriously, tears are still probable, and mostly guaranteed
The Bad: This song takes on a more country feel, and if you're not into country, I can guess this song won't be to your liking. Or I could be wrong.
My Review: John Mayer has managed to do something only great artists can do: he's gone a completely different route without changing exactly who he is. 5 stars.
Fireflight's new album Now hits #1 on iTunes Christian and Gospel charts. (I know what you're all thinking, but just read the review...their music isn't just for God lovers. Trust me.)
The Good: The songs are fresh yet somewhat familiar. The single "Escape" is just brilliant.
The Bad: Unbreakable and For Those Who Wait, when compared to this new album, definitely top it.
My Review: Fireflight is a band most people won't even bother to look at because they assume this music is for people who solely worship God. Well, they're WRONG. Fireflight is a killer rock band with deep meaning behind all their lyrics. For those of you who haven't heard any of their music and are willing to open your ears to something new, the two albums I mentioned are the way to go. If you're a fan of anything like Evanescence, Skillet, or Shiny Toy Guns, go. GO NOW. 4 stars.
Notable mentions and rec's:
- Indie/Alternative lovers take a whack at Andrew Bird's new album Break It Yourself
- Mind.In.A.Box. has recently hit iTunes electronic charts based on their new album. I wouldn't recommend it, but fans of electronic and trance will enjoy. (I think...you should check out the songs "8 Bits" and "Change" from previous album releases)
- Norah Jones' new album is now open to being pre-ordered on iTunes. Jazz lovers, RUN.
Love to hear what you guys think about the post. Hit us up!
