Musical Monday: DUBSTEP

Ok so first, let's get the elephant out of the room (that's the phrase right?). I apologize greatly for the little hiatus that Mitsege went on, but both of us were pretty busy. Next time, we'll try to give the blog a heads up when we go M.I.A.

Now onto the topic! So, I was in the car with my sister when this magical song came on. It was stuck in my head but when I got in the house to look it up, I only had a few lyrics in my head. Luckily, Google knows everything, so I searched those few words and the first song that came up was "Spectrum" by Zedd. So this guy's a German DJ, cool.



Back to dubstep, I was introduced to this when the club hit "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" came into light by the artist Skrillex (who BTW is dating Ellie Goulding). After that I didn't really pay much attention to it, but apparently there are some die-hard dubstep fans. Kudos to you guys for sticking by such a genre.



Well, I'm totally open to new types of music, so if you guys have any dubstep songs I should take a listen to, PLEASE comment down below! Bye!

Musical Monday: New Artist!

This wonderful artist, I owe to my good co-blogger, Victoria. She was the one who introduced me to Alex Clare at first. I soon found out that he was relativly new, so I thought, "Self, why don't I use him for my new artist?" SO here's the low-down on my man Alex Clare.

Like most great artists these days, Alex Clare is not from America. Bummer. He is from the U.K., and was influenced by jazz and blues as he was growing up. He recently released his big debut album this year, called "The Lateness of the Hour". This album includes my fave song, "Too Close" and the bass-bumping, "Humming Bird". I say that he is an artist to watch!

Here! Try him out!

Musical Monday: Boardwalk Playlist

So, you're walkin' on the boardwalk at the beach, and you're obviously strutting your stuff. When suddenly, a mariachi band comes out of nowhere to play a little tune that goes perfectly with your current situation.

Okay it won't exactly happen like that, but here's a playlist to go with your mood that you'll skip/strut down the boardwalk to!

Musical Monday!

Musical Monday: June 11 

Ellie Goulding is our fave new artist. Okay, I cheated, she isn’t technically new. But she’s been an obsession to Victoria and I for a pretty long time now. Her voice is unique and her songs have this music that makes you want to dance all night long. I agree that some people may not like her voice in particular, since it has a very unique and unheard of, but that’s why we love it so much.

Our fave song of hers? Definitely “Starry Eyed” for its upbeat techno instrumental and its soulful singer. Following a close second is “Under the Sheets” which is on a much more serious spectrum. It has a bit more sorrow in the lyrics and a beat that’s full of emotion. Then there’s “Lights”, which many have heard on the radio (sadly, the remix is the most overplayed).

Overall Ellie Goulding is a British babe we should all be watching!
