Feel Good

0 Comments

Thicke releases the single, Feel Good, from his album, Blurred Lines. 

I actually got to sneak in some of my problems on this one. It talks about if I party too much, or if I’m not perfect, or if I’m depressed, will you still stand by me, will you help me get through those times or will you leave me?

Drink A Beer

0 Comments

The artist releases Drink A Beer, from Crash My Party. 

I just thought it was an amazingly written song. It was something that everybody can connect with because so many people out there have lost somebody. And their connection with them was, they used to have a beer in a bar with them, or have a beer anywhere with them. Drinking a beer with a friend is a huge connection, and that song bridges all those emotions together. Like I said, it’s one of the coolest sad songs I’ve ever heard.

The artist releases his single, Timber, featuring Ke$ha, from his album,  Global Warming: Meltdown. Pitbull says that the use of a harmonica on the song was fueled by Avicii’s  single, Wake Me Up:

I’ve been all around the world touring and it was a record from Avicii that was so big and had this country feel to it. This record came down produced by Dr Luke, Cirkut and Sermstyle, and I said, ‘Man I need to get my hands on that’. And being on tour with Ke$ha, we hit it off, and what better than to have a crazy, sexy, cool, beautiful woman on it with me?

I Wish

0 Comments

Lloyd releases single I Wish. The single is a collaboration with producers Shellback, Ilya and OZGO. I Wish also features rapper T.I.

I think any other person wouldn’t have had the same sort of impact as T.I. I think T.I. not only listens to it and then writes a verse about money, cars and bitches, he actually, you know, goes along with the story … He just fits it really well. And he’s not aggressive. He’s just really nice. He’s just T.I.!

Thicke releases the single, Give It 2U, from his album, Blurred Lines.The song features Kendick Lamar as well as 2 Chainz. Thicke:

I reached out to 2 Chainz, because I’m a big 2 Chainz fan and I think Kendrick is amazing. So the funny thing was, my management sent it to Kendrick while I had sent it 2 Chainz. So I already had a 2 Chainz version and then suddenly we hear that Kendrick loves the record and already recorded a verse. And I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible.’ So they’re both on the song now, because it’s just too good.

Wrecking Ball

Cyrus releases the single, Wrecking Ball, from her album, Bangerz. The video is directed by Terry Richardson and shows Cyrus naked, sitting on a fake wrecking ball.

I think the video is much more, if people get past the point that I’m naked and you actually look at me you can tell that I actually look more broken then even the song sounds. The song is a pop ballad. It’s one of these songs that everyone is going to relate to, everyone has felt that feeling at one point.

Love Runs Out

One Republic releases the single, Love Runs Out, from their album, Native.Tedder:

The very short back story on the song was when we were working on Native I originally thought this was going to be the first single and it’s called Love Runs Out and I wanted it to be the first single, a few of us in the band did, but I could not finish the chorus. And you can’t have a song without a chorus.
It took me about a year,We finished it in Paris.

Who You Love

0 Comments

The artist releases Who You Love, featuring Perry, from his album, Paradise Valley. Mayer:

I started singing ‘And my girl, she ain’t the one I saw coming. Sometimes I don’t know which way to go. And I tried to run before, but I’m not running anymore.’ In 2013, modern-day times that’s sweet. Because there’s so many other things to occupy your time that you can do for yourself. That to say, I tried to be alone but I can’t. This is sort of our generation.
