Avalanche

Marié Digby's Avalanche


Gawd.
Can I just gush that I love this song, like a lot?
This song puts me in a good mood.
The lyrics kinda hits right home too.

"If only you knew, what my heart goes through for you, I'm trying to breakthrough, do you think it's worth the chance?"

SHINee's Lucifer



Funny that last year around this time I've effin addicted to Kpop but sadly, the overall quality of the new season Kpop is not as good. I guess when you have SNSD's Gee and SuJu's Sorry, Sorry. Everything else comes a tad colorless.

Lucifer is a great song but no Replay, that's for sure.

BTW what's the deal with their hair?
Faves guy? The supposedly rapping guy and the leader Onew, what a great voice.

Agnes Monica

Indonesian Pop is not my style at all.
But I can't deny that I'm in love with these two gorgeous songs by this sexy petite cutie, Agnes Monica.

Agnes Monica's Teruskanlah


and the ever sweet and heartbreaking..

Agnes Monica's Berlebihan


Beautiful.

(K) Pop

Miranda Cosgrove's Kissin' U


What kinda person do you think I am?
I am a proud and out guy who love POP music.
Yep, there, I said it. Happy?
This is a good song, same goes to Jesse McCartney's Beautiful Soul.
I guess that's all for now.

She Never Told Me

Colbie Calliat's I Never Told You


I know this is not so "current". But I am a major sucker for emotional song and you can't deny that she is a total expert in all this kinda song eh, Realize, anyone?
No, I don't hate myself for liking this song but I doubt I will like it after few months time, if you want to know about that, ask the future me then.

That's all.

I Want To Know Your Name



Hm, House is definitely not my usual cup of music tea, but this is kinda/quite/absolutely hot. I'm not sure whether the version with Pharrell vocal is necessary but I saw him on Chelsea Lately last week and he's pretty cool guy, so I got no hate for him, for now anyway. I want the keyboard, damn, is that all you need these days to be a musician? I think I can consider that job prospect since I'm unemployed these days. Gah, I am broke and I want to go clubbing, it's been a while. Papa need some loud music to cleanse the soul.

Maroon 5's Misery



I have to admit that I love my friends more when they got me Maroon 5's Songs About Jane album for my 19th birthday.

Sweetest Goodbye, Sunday Morning and This Love.

How can I not love them? It's a no brainer if they have someone as beautiful as Adam Levine as a frontman. (Paul the Genius at My Fizzy Pop coined Adam LeFine, I couldn't agree more).

Oh yeah, Adam LeFine might be a tiny reason why I'm such a big fan of Maroon 5. (In the name of P!nk) So What?

Example's Kickstarts



The question, is it possible for me to love his previous two singles after his freakishly amazing 3rd single, Kickstarts?

The answer, yes, it is possible.

Example's Watch The Sun Comes Up


and this.

Example's Won't Go Quietly


Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.

Darin's Lovekiller



I have to say, I don't get it at 1st (just like the beautiful Brandon Flowers' Crossfire) but gahhhhhhh, Darin "killed" me with his opening line.
This blood is on your hands
Now no one can save my heart
This is one heck of a pop song. I'm a fan with Breathin' Your Love and the extra delicious and better version of his cover of Viva La Vida and now with Lovekiller, I think he's the perfect pop male artist. God Bless the Swedish.

Bravo, Darin, Bravo!

Radiohead's No Surprises



OK, I used to think those who loved Radiohead are pretentious arsehole. Haha.
No Surprises gotta be the 1st song by Radiohead that I actually like. Wait, I think there's 15 Step, but whatever. BTW the Regina Spektor version is equally fabulous.

Regina Spektor's No Surprises (Radiohead Cover)


Brilliant, just brilliant.

Not a big fan of the original Paramore's Brick By Boring Brick, but they made it extra lovely with the piano and supposedly Airplanes intro into the song.
Somebody please give them a record deal already!

Brandon Flowers' Crossfire



One of my favorite song of this year.
Funny thing is, I don't quite get it during the first few rounds.
Slowly creeping into my subconscious, I am sold.

Aphrodite

I thought I want to start this post about my disappointment with Super Junior's 4th album, Bonamana but yeah, that's totally unrelated to the fabulous-ness of the album that I am going to gush now.

Well, there's another pop music Aphrodite that I have worshiped way before the existence of La GaGa. For me, it started with Spinning Around, and she totally sealed the deal with Can't Get You Out of My Head. Fever basically saved my early adolescent years with pure fun pop music and I can safely say that it's one of the album that shaped my exquisite music taste and love for dance-pop. La la la indeed.
Psst, my friend used to give me a hard time about lovin' pop music, they still do but what the heck do they know.

If you're a follower of my blog (thank you :) you should probably know that my fan boy mode is in full gear when Kylie announced her 11th studio album, Aphrodite.
Here's the lovely cover,


Ethereal looking pop diva goddess.

I am glad to say that Aphrodite did not disappoint. No, this is not my fan boy mode talking. Well, I did think it was lacking much in variety during the first few rounds of listening but my final verdict, it's not. (I can't pin point my liking to an album during my first few rounds of listening).

It's a total package where every track work cohesively with each other. Aphrodite represents a total Kylie experience where the coo-ing and aah-ing is part of the appeal and her trademark.

Is it fair for me to say that I love every single track in this album? I hardly find any flaws or anything that I don't like about this album. (I know I am not a professional, so I won't start to criticize about her production team or whatever all that music term thingy). I am just a big fan of music in general and I am proud to say that I love this album to bits. The overall feeling about each tracks differs from one another and here's my review from track to track.

"All The Lovers"
Great representation of the Aphrodite. It's warm, rich and full of glorious Kylie moments especially the middle 8 (gorgeous gorgeous breakdown). Plus, how can you not love the video? :) I want to join in the orgy too. Haha.

"Get Outta My Way"
I got pretty hyped up with GOMW in the Aphrodite Megamix and I am beyond ecstatic that the track is this magnifique and gorgeous with a hint of attitude to boot. Love the chorus to bits and that middle 8 is pure heavenly. YES to single #2!
Go! Go! Go!

"Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)"
OMG, let's Party!! I can see myself totally jamming to this song in a club. Is this the homage track to album, Fever? I can't help myself to put my hands up when listening to this song. Note to self, Essential Party Track (EPT). Orgasmix breakdown before the final chorus. I think I reached an "eargasm" by track #3.

"Closer"
This track reminds me of an updated and rework club dance version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night OST. BTW, that's a compliment. With all those ooo-ing and aah-ing going on in this song, it's hard to see anyone other than Kylie singing this song.

"Everything is Beautiful"
I'm not too sure about this track at 1st, (why Kylie? You're taking a break eh?) but yeah, it finally won me over with its chorus taking a more upbeat tone compared to the intro verse. Creeping into my mind. Beautiful, indeed.

"Aphrodite"
Ahprodite kinda won me over in the Megamix too. Kylie seems like she's having tons of fun with this song. So it's a no brainer that I am loving this track in it's full finished glory. It's surprisingly not too out of place with all it's elements going in and out. Potential single material to fill up the stereo ;)

"Illusion"
I found myself unknowingly tappin' to this song while I'm surfing the web. And that people, is a sign of an amazing song. She goes "I'm so lost in this illusion" yeah, me too, Kylie. In a good way :)

"Better Than Today"
The guitar riff is truly welcome in this collective piece of dance and house party heavily infused album, it's like after dancing your ass off for 7 tracks straight, you need something mellow to calm you down a bit before the next big track. This is that song. Mind you, it's still a great track ;)

"Too Much"
I don't care what others is saying, this is not too much. (get it? hehe) It's purrr-fect! Listening to this puts me in such an euphoric state and this is another reason why I am in love with Calvin Harris. Another EPT! Excelente! Uitstekend! Exzellent!

"Cupid Boy"
I love it when Kylie gets a bit flirty in her singing style (cue La la la), well, at least this is what I'm getting from listening to Cupid Boy, "Every time we touch, I'm shooting stars, Cupid boy, when we touch, I'm in heaven" I believe in you, Kylie, I do. psst: is this a good make out song or what?

"Looking For An Angel"
Kylie, if you start a song by coo-ing like how you did in this song, it's hard for me not to like it. I'm not kidding. Oh, I feel a sense of vulnerability especially the middle 8. Simply gorgeous.

"Can't Beat The Feeling"
Is there a better track to end the magical Goddess of Love, Aphrodite musical journey? The big bang way to end the Kylie experience and this is the ultimate celebration track. EPT! This need to be a single!

Final verdict: I believe this is one of the best album I've heard so far this year. Epic proportion of Amazing.

Highlights: "Get Outta My Way", "All The Lovers", "Put Your Hands Up", "Aphrodite", "Illusions", "Too Much", "Cupid Boy", "Looking For An Angel", & "Can't Beat The Feeling".

Check out these fabulous reviews too :)

California Gays

I'm too lazy to blog about anything. So I'm just gonna post my new faves video from youtube. (there's the new sexy and fine Maroon 5's Misery video but that's gonna be in another post, soon)

I would like to present..

California Gays


I don't know whether I love the video because of the boys or the concept? Seriously, it's better than the original video, no offense to any Katy fans out there. Plus the supposedly Snoop Dogg in this video is wayyyyy hotter. Ehem. Don't you love the "battle" scene with Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind? LOL. Hilarious. Well, California Gurls win hands down. Haha.

Can I just say that all the guys in the video are really hot? Yeah, go Guy Branum! Hehe :) Gotta show some lovin' to all the people out there :)

I'm proud.

How you liking the video? Comments away :)
