Justin Bieber's Believe can 'n will make you a Belieber

He is my weakness!!! Blame it on Usher... or not. [haha!] 
I somehow miss that gentle and innocent voice of a child, but frankly, I like much more this new chapter. More daring, more sexy, more "swaggy" more "James Dean'ish", more hmmm.... Damn, he grew up and he's very aware of what he can do and we all can see / hear it on he's new album "Believe" 'n also in those webepisode he made for he's Beliebers.
I am glad to be "present" to see this phenomenon of music (after all, he is the most popular kid on the planet) and I'm 100% sure that he will continue to put smiles on people's face. I trust him (he is a very talented artist), I trust his mom (she'll always be there to teach him what's right and wrong), Usher (is the big bro' and he will always be there showing him that things can be done "nice and slow") and Scooter Braun (because he's the best manager. Hell yeah I trust him!).
Well, I clap my hands for "Believe" album 'n for the crew... I take a bow. Congratz'! 
Each song have a "thing", especially "As love as you love me", "Catching feelings" (reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson), "Fall", "Thought of You", "Beauty and a Beat" (feat. Nicki Minaj), "Be Alright" 'n "Believe".
F.Y.I: behind "Believe" there are BIG "shakespears" as Justin Bieber (of course), Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, j.Que Smith, Max Martin, Ludacris, Deke Richards, Berry Gordy, Drake 'n many many many more.


Enjoy "As Long As You Love Me" *peace out!*

Lil' Wayne feat. Bruno Mars - Mirror

... and it's OUT!

I can not say that this video is among the most wow!, but we can not overlook. It has some very good shots and I like that certain scenes are about lyrics.

The idea with black and red paint: AWESOMEness!

After he, Weezy, say: "[...] I see nobody by your side but I’m with you when you're all alone and you correct me when I'm lookin wrong [...]", he throws white paint. They say white symbolizes "perception". So, le'me guess: Weezy figure out how to step outside of the box of his conventional thinking?! hahaha anyway, I like that shot.

Other shots I like: "[...]I see my momma smile thats a blessin, I see the change [...]", ii este filmat tatuajul, care semnifica fata mamei lui si apoi "I see the message and no message could been any clearer, so I’m stared with the man in the… mirror (M.J. taught me that) [...]", isi face o cruce. Da! Sunt niste cadre simple dar foarte reusite.

La sfarsitul clip-ului ne vom da seama ca "Mirror" este de fapt un "autoportret" care nu se rezuma doar la versuri asa cum am spus si AICI.

Enjoy *peace out!*

"cut the music up" for the best 3 songs of "Tha Carter IV"

I tell her now gon' pop that pussy for a real nigga

I already know that life is deep, but I still dig her

Niggas is jealous, but really I could care less

I'm in Hell's Kitchen with an apron and a hairnet

Devil on my shoulder, the Lord as my witness

So on my Libra scale, I'm weighing sins and forgiveness

What goes around comes around like a hula hoop

Karma is a bitch? Well just make sure that bitch is beautiful

Life on the edge, I'm dangling my feet

I tried to pay attention but attention paid me

Haters can't see me: nose-bleed seats

And today I went shopping and talk is still cheap

I rock to the beat of my drum set

I been at the top for a while and I ain't jump yet

But I'm Ray Charles to the bullshit

Now jump up on that dick and do a full split!

Acestea au fost versurile ce m-au impins, anul trecut, catre album "Tha Carter IV", semnat Lil' Wayne. Ajunsa acolo, m-am indragostit de muzica lui Lil' Wayne, de la A la Z.

In acest album gasim "deep and tips lyrics and "no hide and seek" words!", in special in piesele "How To Love", "Mirror" si "She Will".

Versurile de mai sus fac parte din piesa "She Will". Este un feat. cu Drake, care se numare printre "shakespear'ienii" piesei. Clasamentul Billboard-ului Hot 100 a primit-o direct pe locul 3.

"How To Love". Varianta mea preferata este feat. cu Enrique Iglesias. Da! si eu am fost surprinsa de acest feat., iar spre uimirea mea, cele doua voci chiar se potrivesc.

Versurile acestei piese le putem usor asemana cu o invatatura - o atentionare in privinta deciziilor pe care le-ai luat sau le vei lua - spusa intr-un "Weezy way":

When you was just a young’un, your looks were so precious

But now your grown up, so fly it’s like a blessing

But you can’t have a man look at you for 5 seconds

Without you being insecure

You never credit yourself so when you got older

It’s seems like you came back 10 times over

Now you’re sitting here in this damn corner

Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

... and the last but not least: "Mirror". Cel mai recent extras de pe " Tha Carter IV" si este un feat. cu Bruno Mars.

Piesa este un "autoportret", ish. Precum "toti artistii care se respecta", trebuia si el sa faca o melodie in care "isi plange de mila":

You looking at me but I’m lookin through you

I see the blood in your eyes

I see the love in disguise

I see the pain hidden in your pride

I see you’re not satisfied

And I dont see nobody else

I see myself I’m looking at the... mirror on the wall

... ca si in piesele de mai sus, si in aceasta ne regasim.

Afternoon song: The Weeknd feat. Drake - The Zone

Enjoy *peace out!*

Why you rushing me baby

It’s only us

I dont wanna die tonight baby

So let me sip this slow

I’ll give you what you called for

Just let me get me in my zone

I’ll be making love to her through you

So let me keep my eyes closed

And I wont see a damn thing

I can’t feel a damn thing

But if I touch you right

I wont see a damn thing

I can’t feel a damn thing

But I’ma touch you right

I’ma touch you right, ooh yeah (let me set this slow)

I’ma touch you right (let me get inside my zone)

I’ma touch you right (just let me)

And I believe until I fall, ooh yeah

And I don’t give a damn

I felt the girl before

I left it over her, baby

I didn’t need no-one

But I’m here tonight baby

I’ve been alone for too long

Ohh, oh yeah

So, wont say a damn thing

I can’t feel a damn thing

But I’ma touch you right

I can’t see a damn thing

I cant feel a damn thing

But I’ma touch you right

I’ma touch you right, ooh yeah (let me set this slow)

I’ma touch you right (let me get inside my zone)

I’ma touch you right (just let me)

[Drake]

Woah, all these broken hearts on that pole

Man if pole dancers are art you know how many fuckin’ artists I know

Got some new bills in the mail

Got some big favours I owe

Got some good things ahead of me

When these bad bitches let go

Well, girl lets go

Walk your broken heart through that door

Sit yo sexy ass on that couch

Wipe that lipstick off of your mouth

I take it slow

She in love with my crew

She said make enough so I can try some

I thought taking drugs jus’ aint you

Yeah girl, just be you

And I do this shit for my hometown

It being going down it aint new

That’s that north north, that up top

That OVO and that XO

Your girlfriend at our next show

But its all good, don’t stress though

First night f-ck, never really planned it

Take a deep breath, no need to panic

Lips so French, ass so Spanish

You don’t really like attention, I don’t know if she gon manage out here

But she got me all up in my zone

Said she like the view I got in this place

Shit I did all of that on my own

Oh yeah

Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger

"[...] Kiss me till you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger [...]

Damn, this song "is a must!". Este un "microb muzical de vara" incurabil, ma jur!

Conform versurilor, se ia una bucata "geek" care vrea sa impresioneze una bucata "hot momma" spunandu-i ca are miscarile lui Mike Jagger (The Rolling Stones). Tipic si banal, dar (exista MEREU un dar...), linia melodica intrece tipicul si banalul. Press play si imi vei da dreptate [;)]. Ba mai mult, vei da din cap si la sfarsit vei zambi [:p]. Remember Zohan?! (You don't mess with the Zohan) La refrenul piesei numai pe el il am in minte (disco disco good good, gen [:))])

"Moves Like Jagger" a fost scrisa de Adam Levine (Maroon 5) , Benny Blanco si Shellback (cei doi fiind si producatorii ei). Piesa a intrat direct pe locul 8 in Billboard Hot 100. Prin urmare, atat cei de la Maroon 5 cat si Christina Aguilera nu au mai "ocupat" o pozitie atat de buna (din prima), din 2007 respectiv 2008.

Melodia o putei gasi pe cel de al 3-lea albumul Maroon 5 intitulat "Hands All Over" (delux edition, lansata in cursul acestui an. Un fel de al 4-lea album).

De ce feat. Christina Aguilera si nu au spus Marron 5 and a lilttle bit of Christina Aguilera, huh?! [:))]

Enjoy 'n pump up the volume! *O* [peace out!]

Enrique Iglesias feat. Usher and Lil Wayne - Dirty Dancer

"Tonight (I'm fucking you)" a coborat o treapta. "Dirty Dancer" luandu-i locul. Sorry, dar ma husband is in it aka Usher :D

Dirty Dancer, este un featuring intre latin lover'ul Enrique Iglesias si Usher, scrisa de Evan Bogart (a mai scris piese precum Halo, Jai Ho! etc) si RedOne, care tot el este si producatorul.

Exista si un remix al piesei, unde il vom gasi si pe Lil Wayne. Si, bineinteles, nu a fost lansata versiunea de pe album, ci remix'ul.

Piesa o putem gasi atat pe albumul Euphoria (Enrique Iglesias) cat si pe Versus (Usher).

Dupa spusele lui Adam Graham (Mtv News), "Dirty Dancer" vorbeste despre "o femeie cuvincioasa, dar extrem de periculoasa". Tu ce zici? :))

Enjoy *peace out!*

Alicia Keys feat. Beyoncé - Put It in A Love Song [pictures from the making of...]

En Janvier, j'ai présenté une chanson intitulée "Put it in a love song" chanté par Alicia Keys et Beyonce. Chanson qui se trouve dans le 4ème album studio d'Alicia Keys, "The Element of Freedom" [cliquez ici]

Après beaucoup de recherches, j'ai enfin trouvé les photos et les infos que je n'avais pas ...
Le tournage du clip-video a été tourné en février 2010 à Rio de Janeiro, sur fond de paysage de Rio, dont deux favelas, la Dona Marta Hill (le même endroit où Michael Jackson a fait le clip-video de la chanson "They Don't Care About Us"), la Conceição Hill, dans le centre de Rio, avec 80 membres de l'École de Samba de Rio Grande, et Sambodrome, où les défilés du Carnaval sont détenus.

Le clip-video sortira après le clip-video de la chanson "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)", chanson qui a chœurs fournis par le rappeur canadien, Drake.


Je vous laisse à "baver" comme je l'ai fait (même si elle sont des filles... quoi, Dieu aussi aime la "jobilité", non?! désolé, mais Alicia seras toujours "ma the one and only". A cause de elle je regrette le fait que j'aime/ j'adore les garçons)

Leurs costumes sont trop "classy". Maintenant, j'ai plein des idées... genre

Introducing Dionne Bromfield

Ma plimbam pe blog-ul Ralucai, vad un titlu "Foolish Little Girl"... si logic, pressed play sa ascult versurile... dar versurile nu au mai contat. Vocea persoanei care interpreta aceasta piesa, m-a facut sa uit de ele. Pur si simplu nu au mai contat ca in majoritatea cazurilor cand vine vorba de muzica (in ceea ce ma priveste). Constat apoi (dupa descrierea facuta de Raluca), ca este vorba despre o copila de numai 14 ani. WTF... cu asa voce, la doar 14 ani?!?!? si acum sunt "bulversata" de acest "instrument (minunat) al naturii" .
Numele ei este Dionne Bromfield, un varsator de numai 14 ani, nascuta in Londra si iubitoare a soul-ului de epoca. Nasa ei fiind nimeni alta decat Amy Winehouse.
Iubire, pe care o demonstreaza in albumul de debut "Introducing Dionne Bromfield", lansat pe 12 Octombrie '09. In el vom gasi 12 cover-uri ale unor melodii clasice, cum ar fi "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (imn-ul Motown), "Foolish Little Girl" (piesa interpretata in anii '60 de catre o trupa de fete numita The Shirelles)... etc
Au fost deja lansate 4 piese din 12. Pe langa cele 2 spuse mai sus, pe "piata muzicala" se plimba atat "Mama Said" cat si "I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus". "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" este un feat cu Zalon, o voce importanta a back vocal-ului al donsoarei Amy Winehouse.
Astea au fost cele spune, va "poftesc la un auz" atat live cat si inregistrare, pentru a vedea/auzi ca intr-adevar este un "instrument al naturii"


Enjoy!

We Are the World: 25 for Haiti

Acum 25 de ani, Michael Jackson impreuna cu Lionel Richie au scris piesa de caritate numita "We are The World", piesa pe care au cantat-o alaturi de alti 45 de artisti internationali. Impreuna au format asociatia "USA for Africa" (cunoscuta si sub numele de United Support of Artist for Africa).
Astazi, piesa "has reborn"... de aceasta data, este "indreptata" catre Haiti.
Piesa "a suferit" doar mici schimbari... Will.I.Am a adaugat cateva versuri. In productie, alaturi de Quincy Jones se afla Wyclef Jones si RedOne, iar in spatele piesei se afla 79 de oameni.
Michael and Janet Jackson , Akon, T-Pain, Will.I.Am, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Celin Dion, Jamie Foxx, Kanye West, LL Cool J, Enrique Iglesias, Busta Rhymes, Mary J. Blige, Barbare Streisand, P!nk, Fergie, Nick Jones, Toni Braxton, Lil Wayne, Carlos Santana, Justin Bieber, Nicole Scherzinger... etc, ei sunt parte de solo a piesei, iar corul este format din Keri Hilson, Jordin Sparks, 3T, Sean Garrett, Mýa, Trey Songz, Faith Evans, India.Arie... etc.



I take a bow for all the people who worked at the song... this version gives me goosebomps, as the original one

Lil Wayne feat. Eminem - Drop The World

"So I pick the world up and im a drop it on your f*ckin head
yeah, bitch ima pick the world up
and I’ma drop it on your f*ckin head
yeah, and I can die no rebirth now mutherf**ker
hop up in my spaceship and leave earth motherf**ker
I’m gone, mutherf*cker, I’m gone"

"Drop the world", al 3-lea extras single de pe cel de al şaptelea album al lui Lil Wayne, "Rebirth".
Printre "şecspirienii" piesei, se află şi însuşi Marshal Mathers, iar Hit-Boy şi Chase N. Cashe, producatorii.
Piesa a fost lansată la sfârşitul lunii Decembrie 09 pe iTunes.
"cum s-au deschis uşile topurilor", "Dop The World" a intrat direct pe locul 18 în Billboard Hot 100.

În prezent se lucrează la un clip. Filmarile au început pe 31 Ianuarie, iar "spielberg'ul" fiind Chris Robinson.Printre "decoraţiunile" clipului se vor afla Birdman si Jay Sean... umplutură umană, gen.
Albumul "Rebirth" v-a fi lansat în Februarie, la început. Printre ritmurile de hip-hop a la Lil Wayne, omu' vrea şi nişte "electricitate". sooo, vom avea de a face şi cu ceva "rock[ăreală]" în album.
Lil[ică] Wayne[ică] a colaborat pentru album cu cei de la Fall Out Boy (care şi el la rândul lui a colaborat cu ei la albumul lor "Folie à Deux"), cu Yong Money, cu Shanell (trebuia şi o voce feminină) şi "n of course", Eminem.
Se zvoneşte ca ar fi colaborat şi cu Lenny Kravitz si Pete Wentz...

La premiile Grammy, featuring'ul piesei "Drop The World", s-a fost mai mare. Au cântat alaturi de Lil Wayne şi Eminem, Drake şi Travis Barker (Blink-182)

Jah Cure feat. Phyllisia Ross - Unconditional Love

" El amor es puro
El amor entiende lo que nadie puede entender
[...] Enséñame come amar
Incondicionalmente "

Lucru, care in zilele noastre, este pe cale de disparitie: "Unconditional Love".
Iar avem de a face cu niste versuri "banale", dar ghitara "principala", vocea seducatoare a lui Phylissia Ross si bineinteles, "sentimentul chill" pe care Jah Cure n-il transmite, fac ca piesa sa fie printre primele locuri in playlistul personal.

Enjoy

Lady Gaga feat. Beyoncé - Telephone

Chanson spécial pour les "tites" avec des stupide "dudes" ... La bêtise n'est pas la même chose avec la jalousie!
Lady Gaga l'a fait de nouveau, mais cette fois par "[tele]phone",avec "l'aide" de Beyoncé.
La chanson est le deuxième single de l'album "The Monster Fame".
Lady Gaga a écrit cette chanson pour l'album de Britney Spears "The Singles Collection", mais ... je sais pas ce qui c'est passé, Britney na pas voulu "le morceau"... la chanson est #30 en US Billboard Hot 100 et UK Single Chart.
Je suis pas une fan de Gaga, mais quand "quelque chose" sonne bien à mes oreilles, mon playlist ne dis jamais "non"


Enjoy

Alicia Keys Feat. Beyoncé - Put It In A Love Song

"Say you love me, Say you love me
Then put it in a love song
Say you need me, Say you need me
Then write it in a letter for me
Say you want me, Say you want me
Then text me on the cell phone"
... pas toi, chill
C'est un extrait de la chanson d'Alicia Keys "Put It On A Love Song", de l'album "The Element of Freedom". La chanson est un featuring avec Beyoncé.
C'est agréable de voir ce genre de "métissage" dans la musique ("la ballade d'Alicia Keys" et "le R'n'B/Pop de Beyoncé"). J'ai toujours pensé que ces deux "instruments de la nature", c.à.d. les voix, vont collaborer sur un soul ou une chanson r'n'b/blues ... dans le futur.

Enjoy !

T.I. Ft Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone

Dupa ce au vazut ca a lor colaborare in "My Love" a fost "un magnet pentru buzunarele lor", s-au gandit sa faca another one...
Dudes `n dudets, T.I. Ft Justin Timberlake are back...

"Dead and Gone" asa se intituleaza "a lor new cash machine".
Este cea de a IV-a piesa lansata oficial, a lui T.I., pe 4 Ianuarie, si tot odata fiind ultima piesa extrasa de pe cel de al VI-lea album "Paper Trail"(album lansat pe 30 Septembrie 2008), iar a fost lansat clip-ul in primele saptamani ale lunii Februarie...

[Chorus - Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

[Verse 1 - T.I.]:
Ever had one of dem days you wish woulda stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who getting they hate on
You walk by they get wrong you reply then shit get blown
Way outta proportion way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush em
Figure you get jumped hell thats next
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin
Now you gushin, ambulance rushin you to the hospital
with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times bullet hit ya spine paralyzed waist down
now ya wheel chair bound
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive,
Just think it all started you fussin with 3 guys
Nigga ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way
You could fuck around get shot die any day
Niggas die every day, all over bullshit, dope, money
Dice game, ordinary hood shit
Could this be cuz of hip hop music?
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually niggas don't know what to do
When their back against the wall so they just start shootin
For red or for blue or for blow I guess,
From Bankhead or from your projects
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away

[Chorus - Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone and
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

[Verse 2 - T.I.]:
I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead lookin back at it
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin
In apartments hangin, smokin and rappin
Niggas start shit, next thing ya know we cappin
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now think about damn what a life I had
Most of that shit look back just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Maybe my homeboy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight, I lost that war
I can still see my nigga walkin out that door
Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cost a nigga his jaw, cost me more
I'da took that ass-whoopin now for sure
Now i think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripes
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
Cuz I hit you, and you sue me,
I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it now I take
Time to think before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

[[Chorus - Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

[Justin Timberlake]:
I turn my head to the east I dont see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone, but the new me will be alright
I turn my head to the east I dont see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone, but the new me will be alright

[Chorus - Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone and
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, hey eh

James Morrison ft Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings

Un duo prea tare... sincer! Piesa este cel de al treilea single extras de pe cel de al doilea album a lui nea` Morris, intitulat "Songs for You, Truths for Me".
O are alaturi pe frumoasa canadianca Nelly Furtado.
Se pare ca piesa este un gen de "frumoasa din padurea adormita" a celor doi artisti. Expertii mari "de peste prut" spun ca aceasta piesa arata/ofera anumite parti, cele vulnerabile, ale fiecarui artist.
Piesa a reusit intr-un timp scurt sa-i cucereasca pe germani, israelieni si pe elvetieni, ocupand locul 1 in clasamentul celor mai tari topuri pe de la ei... si sa nu uit sa mentionez ca ea ocupa aceeasi pozitie si pe Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.
