Snickerdoodle Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 So I wanted to see what's new in the world of popular music. I turn the radio on to what is listed on the internet as Fresh Music. I'm thinking fresh music is music that is fresh and new, yes? So after what seemed like a forever amount of commercials, they play a song that I recognize. So, can I safely assume that music hasn't changed in the past decade? Or, think of this as a plea for youtube links to modern songs that people like.

(Warning, there was an ad for Fright Night before hand.) On the other hand, I love it because it reminds me of some of the rocker songs from Motown or the 80s.

Jen500 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 If I don't overanalyze the lyrics too much this song makes me feel happy. (another ad before the video) I like their whole album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I think I just heard a Britney Spears song. THat voice distortion machine can make a voice sound very surreal. It's what I imagine Betty Boop sounding like singing a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANE. In fact, I'd love to be able to sucessfully listen to music and talk radio at the same time. I've been enjoying this band lately: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 For quite a few years, I also wasn't at all up to date with current music and thought that I would never get back into it. And this, coming from me, who has always, always loved current music. What happened was that our dc were small and nursery rhymes and all that sort of took over. ;) Everything by Adele is superb. :iagree: and this artist is also one of my very favorites. Amazing voice and song. He's incredibly talented and has been performing since the age of 4. If you've read "Outliers" - well, all I can say is, he's definitely put in his 10,000 hours. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
