Boobs, Bubbles, and Business!

Hey! Well, we get to post our first posts!

I have no clue what to write about because I am composing this blog on such short notice, but I think I have decided to tell you guys about some new music that is dominating my iPod's repeat feature. And they are...

1) "Everything" by Michael Buble
2) "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat
3) "Misery Business" by Paramore

You might not have ever heard of these artists, or you might be sick of them. But I don't care! These songs all have different sounds that are unique to the artist. Michael Buble's "Everything" resurrects the music of the late, legendary Frank Sinatra. With his smooth, deep tone, Michael's voice grabs your attention the moment you hear it. Listening to "Everything" is like going back in time and becoming lost in a more relaxed world. Its simple, upbeat melody immediately lifts your mood. Definitely check this song out, but don't be surprised when you catch yourself frequently humming the tune throughout the day.
Browsing on Myspace Music one night, I came across a song called "Bubbly". The song's relaxed nature drew me in at once. Most of the songs I hear today blast verses at me, blare choruses, and then replay the less-than-ten-word-chorus that I've already endured eight times, but Colbie's "Bubbly" does the opposite. When you listen to the song, its subtle, down-to-earth lyrics will actually make you want to listen to the words, not ignore them. The song is so very personable. The lyrics, written by Colbie herself, describe the feeling everyone has experienced when they are around someone they adore. This song is perfect for anytime you are with your boo.
Unlike the first two songs I have reviewed, Paramore's newest hit "Misery Business" screams punk rock! Frontwoman and singer Hayley Williams belts out a delivery accompanied by the band's three other members resembling a Riot! Her edgy voice is bold, but not too screamo. She keeps her sound controlled and just punk enough to make you feel like punching someone in the face. The song is about a girl who "Never meant to brag!" about snagging boy she has long been waiting for. If you are looking for an upbeat song that will pump you up and more than likely make you feel like a badass (with a little fem-twist), then "Misery Business" is your pick.
