One Dance by Justin Bieber and Drake
One Dance by Justin Bieber and Drake is fi-ya! Wow, I love this version so MUCH! Justin is on top of the pop world right now. The original was already good, but JB adds a little more pop into the remix — and his vocals have never sounded better! I’m sure Drake fans will insist the original is better, but this has way more mainstream application (IMHO). Snippet is here. #musicmonday
Work by Rihanna feat. Drake
For this week’s #musicmonday pick, I’m going with Work by Rihanna feat. Drake. This track isn’t a club banger necessarily, but it does have a good beat and catchy hook. Reminds me of last week’s pick. I’m hoping the R&B genre isn’t slowing down in tempo beyond this. At 92 beats per minute, I still can work this in regularly to my sets. With the firepower of Rihanna and Drake, I’m sure this track will be around all Spring.
Music Monday Pick 11/2/15 | Hotline Bling Covers
There’s no doubt that Hotline Bling by Drake is one of the hottest songs out right now (thanks to the video). But the amount of Hotline Bling Covers that are out there are just as on fire. Just today, I heard a Justin Bieber version. Last week there was the Kehlani and Charlie Puth take. Even the first cover I heard by Disclosure and Sam Smith is epic. I’ve posted all 3 versions below. What’s your favorite version? Have you heard a cover or remix that I should be aware of? Let me know!
Music Monday 8/3/15 | Hotline Bling by Drake
Well, Drake has done it again. My Music Monday pick for 8/31/15 is Hotline Bling by Drake. I’m usually not a down-tempo hip hop fan. I like stuff in the 100 to 115 BPM range (yes, I’m a HUGE 90s hip hop fan when everything fell into that range). This one is around 70 Beats per Minute (BPM) but the good news is I can fit it in my high energy sets by doubling the beat. Did I lose you on that? Drake once again gives us a fantastic hook and the instrumentation is so simplistic that his rapping really stands out. This guy has been putting out some club bangers recently and while recently he has been on a more “hard” hip hop flow – (i.e. Energy, Back to Back, etc.), this one completely flips the script with a more melodic chorus (similar to some of his older singles “Hold On We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had”). Anyway, I think this track will around a bit. Get ready to here this one A LOT!
