#2 My Music Library

So, I've this is #2 of my last music post because I've been listening to lots of new sh*t lately. 2014 is coming to an end and this year is a good year for POP! If you asked me about pop music last year or earlier this year, you'd hear me say nasty things about that kind of music. A big round of applause for these artists stepping up their game. So without further ado, bring out the burger emojis. here are my unsolicited opinions:


FOURever Yours, Faithfully

Four
By: One Direction

The first single is just average but it's still good. Let me say these boys definitely changed for the better! Their new style is somewhat defining. It mixes the old and reminiscent but also adding that 1D kick to each song. First, I was hesitant to listen to this album thinking it would just sound like a tween bopping her way to Claire's, but no! They now sound like real Englishmen with a distinct sound. I applaud them and I can't wait to hear more from them.

My favorites: Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Night Changes, Stockholm Syndrome 

The boys get:


The Smiling Adele

Title
By: Meghan Trainor

This girl has real rhythm! Her songs be like BAP! BAM! BABABAP BOOM! The ones available so far are so damn catchy it makes my feet tap to the beat in whatever mood I'm in. Even though All About That Bass is so overplayed, the other tracks are as catchy and fun. She's basically a Pin-Up girl showered with candy and bass! I also liked that she features content creators in her music videos like Viners, Dancers, and other popular people I don't know.

My favorite: Lips Are Movin'

She gets to eat:


Pretty In Punk

Punk Goes PoP Volume 6
By: Various Artists

So when I saw this, I was like you is still around?. I remember the first Punk Goes Pop (2002) when my brother played it in the car and I loved every song of it. Now it's back (for the 6th time!). I liked a lot of the songs here, but most of them are too much to handle and overdone. Some really stood out. A huge thank you to this album because I found some bands that I love. 


My favorites: Problem, Ain't It Fun, Wrecking Ball, Chocolate

They feast with:


What Rhymes With Ass? Errthang!

Pink Print
By: Nicki Minaj

Welp! I must applaud her for this album! It's got all the feelings you need. From the first track rapping all her emotions about family and herself, to the hardcore, to the fun and ratchet, and to the amazing collabs. I can't even imagine how she comes up with her lyrics. They can sting you if you're not ready. She really has a way to sway your emotions with her. When she's angry you get to be angry with her! I hope the haters would appreciate her now because this is really something

My Favorites: All Things Go, Bed of Lies, Feeling Myself (with the Beyoncé!!)

She definitely got 'em buns:

Chuck Norris Ballerina

American Beauty/American Psycho
By: Fall Out Boy

Just when I lost hope in them, they made a masterpiece! I F*CKING LOVE THIS SONG! I haven't felt so good listening to a song in such a long time and they made it happen! The song's got that old school FOB vibe while still giving something new to the table. It's fast paced and really edgy/angsty. It's been on repeat since it was released! The music video is also very AWESOME! That ballerina who literally kicked serious *SS! If you haven't GO LISTEN NOW! I can't wait for the album!


These 4 boys can share:


I really had fun listening to all these. There are more tho, but these are the ones that stood out. so, maybe I'll make this into a regular series thing.
