Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

BRITNEY'S BACK! Anyone who knows me knows that Britney is my favorite female pop star ever!! With that said, I was a little disappointed with the angle taken with Britney Jean (her last album) but from the sounds (and looks) her latest era will make up for that! Britney just released the first single to her upcoming legendary era and it's with none other than Iggy Azalea. This was a good call in my book being that Iggy is one of the hottest females in music right now. Not only was it a good look to collaborate with Iggy but the song is a straight up girls summer anthem! It's perfect for this time of year. The song has an old school funk/r&b beat and I completely approve. It sounds like old Britney is surfacing and it's exactly what fans and the public has wanted for so long. Britney has her classic whiny, sort of nasally, smooth yet coy vocals on the song. This is what every Britney fan has been waiting for! Pretty Girls is bound to be a hit nationwide and...

Okay, so I know I'm late but I've been busy! The song was released over a week ago (basically two weeks now) and I've been listening to it since then, I just haven't had the chance to review it (which may be good because I can now review it with a clearer opinion). Anyway, check out my review below for one of Rihanna's new songs from her upcoming album (still called R8 for now), American Oxygen. Initially when I first heard American Oxygen I thought "hmmm, it's okay but it's not FourFiveSeconds or Kiss It Better" and while I do feel almost the same way, the song has grown on me a bit more. American Oxygen depicts the struggle of making it in America (as does the music video) and I think it's an important message for society, especially in times like now. Now, I've read it took about a year to write this song and at first I thought "why?" but after a few more listens I can see why. It's one of those songs you have to get ri...

So this is my first music post on this blog and I'm so excited because I plan to do things like this more often. I recently announced on my Twitter page that I would incorporate more posts about pop culture and it just so happened that current Queen of Pop, Little Miss Sunshine herself, Rihanna, released her new single featuring Kanye West and the legendary Sir Paul McCartney. Now everyone has an opinion about this song (as they should) because it's ENTIRELY different from anything else Rih Rih has ever done. I, for one am glad about that. If I got another "club banger" or radio friendly EDM song I would've just quit on modern pop music (okay, not really but you get what I'm saying). Point blank, I think FourFiveSeconds is great. Is it a masterpiece? No, but it's genuinely good music. Rihanna's voice is strained during some parts but it fits the mood of the song. I've waited for the folksy, acoustic sound in a pop song for so long now it's ...
