The Definition of Great Music



    Great music comes in many forms. Rap, pop, rock, country and jazz are just the tip of the iceberg. Great music is like glaciers in the arctic. It is really the size of Antarctica. It’s not the same as a generation ago, but great music is still there floating…waiting to be discovered. Will you discover it?


    Have you ever listened to classical? To define great music, we must look at who controls the music. The Record labels own your ass. I’m sure you heard about how Taylor Swift is rerecording her music. She is thinking outside the box. I feel the record labels don’t want you to be free.

    What if Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach were legally bound to a record label. In other news, Hasbro now owns Death Row records. A toy company is the owner of gangsta rap records. If you don’t have a problem with that, you shouldn’t have a problem with Taylor Swift rerecording her music.

    Do you think corporations are ruining music? Here are my thoughts. Corporations are actually making music better. Sway doesn’t have the answers, neither does Kanye.

    We’re hearing great music from all around the world because of corporations that make it possible for artists to reach the masses. Corporations are sponsoring great music everywhere. Apple Music, VEVO, and Spotify provide great tools for discovery. 

    I’m also sure you heard Jay Z (ROC Nation) made a deal with the NFL. Jay Z may even become a part-owner of a football team according to TMZ. It’s an interesting development.

    The point is everything is changing fast. You gotta keep up with the times. Great music is everywhere. Rihanna is a private flight away from performing at a concert near you. That’s who should do the halftime show if you ask me. 

    Corporations are not saints. In the end, the bottom line is profit for them. In my opinion, art shouldn’t be corporatized. However, the definition of great music is a profitable sound.

The Fire of French Montana

Last night on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, French Montana performed Famous from his new album ‘Jungle Rules.’ He demonstrated his mastery of flow like a fire guzzler onstage with the world watching. As he spat fire, it reminded of a hypothetical Pitbull and Drake Rap battle. Moreover, the crowd went wild while the curvaceous belly dancers swayed from side to side in spectacular fashion and gorgeous garments.


I wish I could of been in the building at that time. It was that good. Nothing is better than live entertainment. Going to concerts and soaking up the atmosphere is priceless.


It was his first live TV performance of the new song; and, he did not disappoint fans. Like DJ Khaled, all French Montana does is win. How can you lose with good music on your side. Plus, all the ladies were into his groove.


Over the years, French Montana has made a big name for himself. He is Grammy nominated. Plus, he is platinum certified.

I can see songs from ‘Jungle Rules’ being included on a movie soundtrack. It’s only a matter of time before the movie industry gets its hands on this diamond. I’ve listened to the songs and the music is in a category of its own.


Checkout Famous. FrenchMontanaVevo released the music video today; and it is all that you expect it to be and more. The Moroccan-American represents his roots and does his native land of Morocco proud. The video shows clips of the beautiful countryside, city, and people.


Have you listened to French Montana’s latest album ‘Jungle Rules’ yet? What are you waiting for? It’s fire! ‘Jungle Rules’ is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Digital, Tidal and practically everywhere else they sell music. You have no excuse NOT to listen to awesome music, when there are so many options.

How Lorde Generates Traction

If you want something to do, why don’t you listen to some music? Listening to music is more than just a hobby. Listening to music is a lifestyle. Can you imagine life without Vevo, Spotify, and Coachella?

Have you heard any good songs lately? I’ll share what’s new on my playlist with readers. Recently, I have discovered Lorde. I highly recommend listening to the singer. I plan on attending her concert in the future.

Her sound is similar to Lady Gaga’s futuristic music. She sounds like a talking saxophone. There’s something special in her voice that only a few singers possess. No one can deny her creative streak.

They say if you can make it here in New York, you can make it anywhere. 20 year-old Lorde demonstrated her big time abilities in the Big Apple as musical guest on Saturday Night Live last March. Her performance received an ample round of applause from a lively crowd. It wouldn’t surprise me if Lorde is invited back to host as early as next year.

The Tennis Court songstress makes headlines like Serena Williams weekly. She may even surpass Serena’s popularity one day soon. But right now the Wimbledon legend is on top.

Still, Lorde has the whole world ahead of her. Did you know the sexy songstress originates out of New Zealand? The hot Iggy Azalea originates out of Australia, which is not too distant from the Green Light singer’s headquarters.

As a result of hard work and good looks, Lorde is a major trend in search results. In fact, she was the 5th most Googled celebrity a month ago. I believe she is in the process of building a global fan base right now. She generates a lot of traction in magazines, on blogs, and around town.

Is Aloe Blacc Another John Legend?

Is Aloe Blacc Another John Legend?

Nowadays, the deep sounding voice is rare in music. That’s what makes Aloe Blacc a diamond in the rough. Now, he’s not Barry White but you get the picture. It’s hard to argue with the fact Aloe is special. He’s another John Legend.

Before John Legend fans launch an attack on me, allow me to explain myself. John Legend is a far better singer than Aloe Blacc and almost everybody else. However, what Aloe Blacc lacks in raw talent, he makes up for with soul. You can’t deny that Aloe Blacc is one of the most passionate crooners showbiz has ever seen.

Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Justin Timberlake and most other male vocalists are known for their high pitches. But who wants to live in a world where music all sounds the same? No knock on Biebs, Mends, and Timbs but the fans have spoken. They want something different from the status quo.

Aloe Blacc is different. He doesn’t subscribe to the status quo at all. You know how they say some writers such as Herman Melville were ahead of their time. I believe this singer is ahead of his time.

Here’s why…

He crosses genres. Who else sings pop, country, and hip-hop? You could say that Nelly crosses all three genres but I remind you that the Hot in Here artist is a rapper.

What is more, Aloe Blacc makes meaningful music. The singer sings about what’s important in the world. He doesn’t brag about how much money he makes and how many girlfriends he has or the good life. Did you know his nickname is Mr. Frugal? I call this Hollywood Conservatism.

I’ve been following Aloe Blacc since his I Need A Dollar days. Green Lights is one of my favorite Aloe Blacc songs. Moreover, I play I’m the Man (Explicit version) when I feel the need. Lately, I’ve been casually listening to his songs on Vevo.

Do you agree that Aloe Blacc is another John Legend?

Why Katy Perry Gives Us Exactly What We Desire

BY: GURU JAY

  
In the beginning, Katy Perry was rubberstamped. Fans never had a problem with Katy. Perry isn’t perfect but she is exactly what we desire. She doesn’t reveal everything but she shows just enough to make you wonder.
It’s like watching a modern day Elizabeth Taylor sing on a microphone in her prime. Rarely do singers look better than actresses in bikinis. Make an exception for Katy Perry. Who wants to see her perform on the silver screen?
I think the California Gurl would be a pretty good actress. I mean she’s not going to take Julia Robert’s spot but she can take Jessica Alba’s place. Under the proper guidance, this celebrity can blossom.
Here in America, Memorial Day and Independence Day are approaching. We celebrate first and foremost by: stopping and smelling the roses, barbecuing next, later soaking up the sun, and then listening to Katy Perry music.

Have you ever been to a Katy Perry concert? It feels like electricity is pulsating through your veins. Katy caters to fans and offers her songs in cold dishes on silver platters. She serves steaks well done or rare. It may only be 2 choices but they’re great options.
Who remembers the John Mayer and Katy Perry Who You Love duet? Wasn’t that special? Do you think she should do one with Justin Timberlake?
I dedicated a couple hours to watching KatyPerryVevo on YouTube. My favorite from today was The One That Got Away. It’s been a while since the last time I seen it. Sometimes we could use a small reminder. Otis Redding said it best, “All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness…”
In one word Katy Perry is: PHENOMENAL. Her throat is a glorious vessel. Katy Perry does anything to please her fans. There isn’t a finer entertainer in showbiz. This is for you my number 1.

Celebs concerts Demi Lovato Disney Alumni Entertainment Future Now Tour Guru Jay Hollywood Jealous Jonas Brothers Justin Timberlake Levels Music Music News Musicians Nick Jonas Singers superstars Vevo

Is Nick Jonas the Future Justin Timberlake?

BY: GURU JAY

  
Spotlights don’t scare Nick Jonas. The Disney alum/ Jonas brother was born and bred for music’s sake. Although Halloween might be over, Nick is a ‘trick or treat’ to millions upon millions of fans everyday.
Right now, I’m blogging about the Levelssinger because Jealous is stuck in my frontal lobe. If you didn’t know already, it’s the celebrity’s right to be hellish. That’s why he still gets jealous.
And Jonas isn’t a one hit wonder either.

With his momentum and potential, he can realistically become the future Justin Timberlake. They share several similarities. Both are Disney alums and products of boy bands. Plus, countless girls scream at their concerts and chant their names in cohesion.
To compete with Justin though, Nick needs to play in major movie productions. I also like to hear him sing longer songs like Timberlake’s Mirrors, What Goes Around, and TKO. But make no mistake, Jonas can croon.
The young entertainer is getting better with time. It’s clear he possesses the expertise. Currently, Nick is gaining the necessary experience to catapult his extraordinary career.

You see Nick doesn’t need to take a backseat to nobody. He can ride shotgun on his tour bus or inside his classic Mustang. What is more, he seems prepared for anything.
Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas go on the Future Now tour this summer. Who is buying and reserving tickets? Count on these shows selling out quickly, because Lovato and Jonas have great history  as well as chemistry.
It is important for elite celebs to get along for entertainment purposes. If there is one thing Jonas has shown us, it is his uncanny ability to collaborate. Everyone understands music superstars carry egos the size of Saturn (the planet, not the car). And so, Nick’s “Mr. Nice Guy” persona is an intangible asset.

What Is Coldplay Without Chris Martin?

BY: GURU JAY


Can you imagine your ears without music? Have you experienced the creative sounds of Carlos Santana? Who are your favorite musicians? Do you like Chris Martin?

What is Coldplay without Chris Martin? Ever since dating Jennifer Lawrence, Martin’s stature has outgrown the band. Why do hot blondes melt over a music star? What defies logic, chemistry can explain. Don’t minimize music’s strong effect.

What if Coldplay changed the name to the Chris Martin Band like Dave Matthews Band? Perhaps, more celebrities like Martin should deflate their egos. What if Tom Brady allegedly deflated his arrogance instead of footballs?
Credit the Chris Martin’s public relations team, because he hardly gets any bad press.
Martin, the oldest of five siblings, naturally became a bandleader in 1996. Where were you in ‘96 when that happened? Did you dialup your Internet to the groundbreaking static? Do you remember, “You’ve got mail?”
How long was it before Chris became idolized? In ‘96 Google, Twitter, and Facebook weren’t in existence. Without question Bieber, Gaga, and Swift colossally benefited from the Internet when their careers launched.  

We’re living in an Information Age, where numbers matter. Although Coldplay tweets to an astounding 15.4 million followers, Chris Martin doesn’t have a verified account. Is there a disconnect? Or is the brotherhood very tight?
I believe Chris Martin’s band is the 9th best European band of all time. Plus, no music group comes close to their accomplishments in the Alternative Rock genre. 
Your ears love listening to Beats By Dre sponsored songs. Have you noticed Beats By Dre Audio equipment in almost every Vevo video? I’m sure more than half my audience has seen ColdplayVevo because you appreciate high quality and superior content.

Like Robin Thicke, Martin is lost without you. The celeb understands fans allow his journey to continue.
