I knew that today was gonna be a pretty big music release day, but I don't think I actually realized exactly how huge and all over the place, genre wise, it was gonna be.
First up are a couple of albums and EPs that have been released that I'm really feeling.
I'm so glad that Tori is finally getting recognition and more original music out. I've been following her from her YouTube for a couple years now. Now she's releasing her first, signed to a label, EP, but second EP. You can check out the first one here. Self-written and produced, she can only go up from here.
I really love all the songs on this EP but definitely the ones that I find myself playing back again are 'Rocket' and 'Paper Hearts'.
But 'Dear No One' will still have a very special place in my iTunes library. And this song is actually iTunes Single of the Week, so you can check out the song before you check out the EP here.
3 years since Teenage Dream, Katy Perry has definitely made this album a step up. If she wanted to, any one of these songs on her album could be a hit single.
And with that being said I'm finding it really hard to pick one song of this album that I would call my 'favorite'. Even though I've listened to the album a couple times, I still feel as if I haven't actually heard it all thru yet. With a couple more listens I know I'll be able to pick a favorite.
As of right now, I'm really liking this album, and you can see the growth from her last album to now.
She deserves all the success she's has and will receive with Prism.
You can get Prism here.
This one is dedicated to the luck people in the UK that were luck enough to get not just one but basically two albums from Lawson, and rest of us around the world that are just sitting and waiting. Chapman Square Chapter II is basically a super deluxe version of Chapman Square. Containing the original 14 songs, the group has added 6 new songs, and 3 new acoustic versions of their songs.
These new 6 songs are definitely a different sound for them giving them a more Pop/R&B kinda of sound, especially with the song 'Love Locked Out', which I have to say is one of my favorites from the new 6 songs.
And if you haven't heard Chapman Square you can check out the original songs and the new songs below.
Next up are my picks for singles of the week.
First in this section is Fifth Harmony,
And yes I do realize that they also released an EP today as well.
But I was just excepting something a little different, I thought it was gonna be a bit more mature but I just feel like it's aimed more towards their younger fans. But out of the 6 songs on the EP, the one song that stood out to me is 'Leave My Heart Out Of This'. To me this is what I expected in terms of it sounding mature. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Check out the rest of the EP and let me know what you think.
Was it what you expected or where you looking for something different ?
My next pick for single of the week is Trevor Jackson with his new single, 'Superman'.
Okay, so I don't even remember how I stumble upon him but I'm glad I did. The first song I heard was Drop It, and I just gravitated to his voice. And for some reason he reminds me of a mash-up of Chris Brown and Trey Songz (vocally). But this is an artist that I can see big things happening for them in the near future. But I definetly recommend checking out both songs, if you haven't heard of either.
And their's probably so many others that I haven't mentioned like Love Don't Die from The Fray, Long Live Rock & Roll from Daughtry, The Keeper from Kina Grannis & Marie Digby and a bunch of others. But if I did add everything else, this may just become the world's longest post in blog history.
Let me know of some albums, EPs, or singles that you think I haven't check out.
Damn this was a busy Tuesday,
But,
Until next time,
