Current Music

It’s been a very long time since I posted in my journal. Nothing much has changed. Still working for the university. Gradulating in December and who knows what’ll happen then. I discovered some new bands and songs that I want you readers to know about… Five for Fighting - Superman - Great song… the lead singer sounds something like Dave Matthews. It’s a piano driven song (which I’m typically weak for) but it’s very emotionally powerful. I think it’ll tear up the charts soon. Alicia Keys - Fallin - Amazing vocalist and pianist (there’s the piano weakness again). Reminiscent of a young Aretha Franklin (to me at least). You can feel her pain and torture when she belts out the notes and it’s refreshing to hear a young fresh R&B singer who’s not singin over some tired old rap track. Nikki Costa - Like a Feather - Another amazing vocalist however subdued her vocals are. Love the bright pink hair and the Janisesque performance on stage (she’s kinda spastic in a rhythmic danceish way). The song has some depth without reaching too hard or getting preachy (ala Jewel). Another up and coming soul singer. Sunshine Anderson - Heard it All Before - Great groove, powerful message, strong vocals… she’s got it all! A very strong lady singing a very strong song that makes you wanna slap the hell out of some dawggish man. I think that’s it for the new stuff. I recommend at least trying these songs out if you haven’t heard em yet. Lately a lot of very powerful women have been tearin’ up the charts and it’s always nice to see ladies representin’. I’ll try to post more often. Love y’all.
