What to listen to? #2

Yeah here we go again! I found some good new song that I would love to show you.

Stargazing - Kygo

Kygo's new music is pretty good, like his song "It Ain't Me" with Selena Gomez & "First Time" with Ellie Goulding.

At the beginning of the song Kygo starts of with the beautiful sound of a piano and then adds some different instrument while Justin Jesso is singing. Justin Jesso has a beautiful voice in this song. I had never heard of the guy before but this is a reason the keep an eye on him. At the beginning of the pre-chorus he hits a pretty high note, but it sounds good.

During the chorus a little beat is added and Kygo remixes Jesso's voice. After a few seconds of the remixed voice a real beat is added in Kygo's style, still with the remixed voice. It is really easy to learn the lyrics because it is not that complicated. The lyrics is not necessarily super powerful or something which makes you think, no it is just simple. Well simple, I could never write lyrics but still I think you know what I mean.

I do really love the cover of this song, the picture I mean. I do not really know how you call that, but it is beautiful. It is so beautiful because it is an amazing picture of the Northern Lights. The fact that he used the Northern Lights for the cover is pretty nice, not just because they are beautiful but also because Kygo is from Norway. The country where you can see these amazing lights.

Stargazing is not just a single, but it is a whole album. I still have to check out the other songs, but my expectations are high.

Good Old Days - Macklemore & Kesha

Oh I love Macklemore. If I every has the chance to go to a concert of his, I will go. I had a chance to be honest a few years ago, when Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were still a thing. I hate it, but then again hate it that they broke up, their songs are so good. Not just the music, but their lyrics are amazing they make sense and they make you think. If Macklemore & Ryan Lewis or right now just Macklemore releases a new album you really have to listen to it, not hear it and do something else at the same time. No you have to listen.

Song do not often make me emotional, well this song did. Just because the lyrics made me realize some things, some important thing. But I am not explaining them to you because everyone should create there own feeling with a song.

The base of this song is a beautiful piano and lyrics starts of with the chorus. The chorus is song is sung by Kesha and she does a wonderful job, I love that she is back.

To be honest this song makes me think about "Same Love" & "Growing Up". I am kind of happy that is does, because Macklemore made those songs with Ryan Lewis and I love those together.

This song tells me to appreciate everything around me right now and to be smart, because being smart at this age can be hard sometimes.

Real Life - Duke Dumont

This song was introduced to me by a friend when we were driving to the Bloomington Homecoming Dance. This song can be classified under tropical house music, at least I think so. Of course I am not a specialist when it is about music. I just really love to give my opinion.

During the entire song the beat is pretty steady, it is not that the beat suddenly takes over and has the lead. The singer has a very pretty voice and I can really enjoy the sound. I do not really know who she is but I think her name is NAATIONS.

There is not really a lot to say about the cover of the song. It is really clean and simple. For some songs that is good enough, just simple and clean who needs all the extras.

This is the perfect to jam on with some friends in the car. That is what we did when we were on our way to Bloomington High.

After listening to this song twice I already knew the majority of the lyrics, I LOVE THAT. I found out (by the way) that Duke Dumont is not some stranger. I had never heard of the name before, but when I looked him up I found all these songs like "I Got U" which I knew. Always funny to find out that kind of stuff.

Duke Dumont also made an acoustic version of this song. In this version you can hear NAATIONS voice so much better. In this version you can hear her sound.

Now you know what to listen to again!
