Miss Me- Andy Grammer

If you haven't heard this song before, you need to. I really like Andy Grammer because he is able to blend topics like break ups and love into a song that stays upbeat, unlike many love songs that are slow and very dramatic. Even though his music is more upbeat, it still conveys the same pain that a slower love sick song has and moves you in a different way. The faster speed helps the song make you feel like you aren't dwelling on the past, moving forward instead. The meaning behind his music video is also very clever, showing that once someone's heart has been broken, their light can shine fully, and as many, they are strong enough to move on. I hope you enjoy this song!

Summer Paradise- Simple Plan ft. Sean Paul

Summer Paradise is an upbeat fun song that is great for the summer time. It has a catchy tune to it and it's just a feel good song. This is a love song, but it took a new approach. Rather than a simple and slow really heartfelt song, Simple Plan made a song that is perfect for the summer season with it's upbeat tune and it is bound to become a summer hit. Enjoy!

Bombs Away- B.o.B Ft. Morgan Freeman

This song is really cool and is very catchy. The beat is really aggressive and the song is a great pump up song. Morgan Freeman's voice adds a feeling of mystery and intimidation while B.o.B runs with it and makes it sound even cooler. The combination in this work is a great partnership and the song builds off of each part. Morgan Freeman's part sounds like it's just speaking, but in reality, it is a like he is reciting a ballad that is cleverly crafted to have a very dramatic affect.

Is Anybody Out There- K'NAAN ft. Nelly Furtado

This song is such a good song. K'NAAN raps and sings about such a deep problem. He doesn't criticize anyone or disses anyone, but can get a very powerful message across. Nelly Furtado is a perfect accompaniment to K'NAAN in this song. The song sounds really good and is completely clean of profane language which nearly no other rapper does. The song has so much meaning behind it, I hope he continues to have songs similar to this. K'NAAN is going to take off, and I hope that he doesn't start to go very mainstream with his music and keeps it as meaningful as this song. I hope you enjoy! I'll have lyrics soon!

So Good- B.o.B

Get on the bus early with this song and video! Here it is, ENJOY! I also found a great song about B.o.B trying to figure out his real style. He is trying to go back to his original raps. For a little while, B.o.B went very mainstream. This song talks about how he realized what was happening and how he is trying to change and get back to how he used to write his raps and rapping. Where Are You

Call Me Maybe- Rae Jepsen

This isn't the official music video, but I think this video is more fun than the original. The song is really upbeat and pretty catchy. The video features a ton of different famous stars, and actually has more views than the original! I hope you enjoy the song and video!

Better Than I Know Myself- Adam Lambert

After having a drought of popular songs, Adam Lambert is back with this song, Better Than I Know Myself. Adam has a lot of talent, and he is able to make his "comeback" into the center stage with this song. This is one that will definitely bring him back into the pop culture world. I hope you enjoy, and tell me what you think!

Crawling Back To You- Daughtry

Daughtry has finally came out with another song! I didn't like his new song as much as his older songs because this song was a much harder rock song. Daughtry is still a great artist with an incredible voice. Some of his earlier songs were Life After You and September. I like his older songs, but I think that it's great that he is coming out with new songs and videos again! I hope you enjoy!

Pretty Girls- Iyaz ft. Travie McCoy (Lyrics+ Music Video)

So many different flavors
So many shapes and sizes
You, coming with me and you, going with Iyaz
No surprises, I put it all on the table for you
Nothing is too taboo, I'm ready, willing to give you everything

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city (yup)
There's a lot of pretty girls in this town
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to find a shorty to hold me down (yaw)

They say to get to New York girl
Then you gotta have a lot of class
And I heard there ain't nothing like the Cali girls
But you better have a lot of cash (cash)
And I know there ain't nothing like the A-Town girl
Cuz they know how to show you love
And no matter where I go
I gotta let them know
That this song here is about you (let's go)

See I don't mean to run away
To places you would not believe
It's seeing these pretty girls
I'm wishing you were there with me
It's simple when you smile girl
Tells me all I need to know
You can be my one and only

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this town
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to find a shorty to hold me down

Tell me is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you girl? (yaw)

They say, to get a MIA girl,
Then you gotta have a lot of swag
I heard, to get a Down South Bell,
Then you gotta ride a Cadillac
I know, Ain't like a London girl,
Cuz they know how to party up
And no matter where I go, I gotta let her know
That this song here is about you

I don't mean to run away
To places you would not believe
It's seeing these pretty girls
I'm wishing you were there with me
It's simple when you smile girl
Tells me all I need to know
You can be my one and only

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city (yup)
There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one (let's go)

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this town
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to find a shorty to hold me down

Tell me is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you girl? (eh)
Is it you girl?

Oh, I'm so indecisive
Trying to find a pretty girl that these shoes goes nice with
Been around the world and back, got a knack for the girls in black
But I need a chick that's gonna hold me tight like vice grip

Just make sure you need my heart how you found it
You can keep the key but the lock stays around me
Baby, let's take it slow, no pulling a fast route
And you look like the type to keep my mind off the last one

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city (yay)
There's a lot of pretty girls in this town
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to pick the right one
Trying to find a shorty to hold me down

Tell me is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl? (eh)
Is it you, girl?

Not Over You- Gavin Degraw (Lyrics+ Music Video)

Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful, face anymore
I stare at a picture of you, and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
We both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation
I know that much is understood, and I realize

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm, not over you (not over you)

Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I'm, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not, even close, without you

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm, not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down, at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm, not over you
Not over you, not over you, not over you

Big Wheels- Down With Webster

Well here is Down with Webster's newest music video, Big Wheels. I thought it was much more mainstreamed then some other songs they have, but all in all it was a good song. Down with Webster may be a bigger band in Canada, but they are very similar to the bands here in the US. Hope you enjoy!

Sweeter- Gavin DeGraw

This isn't the music video yet, but I liked the up beat rhythm and I thought that the song was pretty nice. I wouldn't say this is his best piece, but it does sound pretty cool. This song, Sweeter by Gavin DeGraw, is very catchy, too! Even if you don't really like the song, the rhythm will still stick with you. Take a look, see what you think!

Love The Way You Lie- Skylar Grey

Here is another version of this very popular song, I love the Way You Lie. Skylar Grey was one of the original writers of this song, but her version was never released with Eminem. Skylar sings the same version as Rihanna has, I love The Way You Lie Part 2, except she does it with much gentler then Rihanna's version. There is also the version with Eminem's rap, I Love The Way You Lie by Skylar Grey ft. Eminem. I really liked Skylar's version the best. Hope you enjoy!

Invisible- Skylar Grey

The music video for this song was just posted yesterday. Unlike a lot of the other songs, it doesn't have as many hits, but she has a really amazing voice and message. This song is really meaningful and a lot people could relate to this at least once in there life. Skylar Grey has been featured in many recent songs including I Need A Doctor- By Dr. Dre ft Eminem and Skylar Grey. The lyrics talk about how a person does so many things to try to get people to like her and be her friend, but she always feels like that no one notices her. Skylar has an incredible voice and is using it to get a story out about the people that are hidden by others actions. I hope you enjoy this amazing song, Invisible- Skylar Grey.

Stereo Hearts- Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine

I love this song! It's not really new, but it is still not as popular or old as many other songs that are this good. With Adam Levine, this song mixes light rap with great singing. Enjoy this great song by Gym Class Heroes- Stereo Hearts!

Under Recognized Artists and Bands

I just wanted to do a post about the great artists that only smaller groups of followers listen to and are under recognized. The first is a band that isn't popular in the US, but is one of the hottest bands in Canada, Down With Webster. I wouldn't have found this band if it wasn't for some of my friends that came down from Canada recently. It only took a few seconds before I was hooked on this band. Here is one of their most listened to song. Whoa is Me As you can see, they don't have nearly as many hits as some of the more mainstream US singers, but they are a really good group. They blend pop, rap, and rock. They do an incredible job with blending the different genres together. Here are a few more of their songs,
Your Man
She's Dope
Hope you like them!

The second artist is Gavin DeGraw. He makes some really nice music that many people already enjoy listening to. The amount of people that listen to his music is normally only the people that have been listening to his music for a while now, not many new people are introduced to his music. I think that this song, Not Over You, is a very good indicator of his talent. Listen and enjoy!
