How Calvin Harris Generates Electric Music

How Calvin Harris Generates Electric Music

Whenever we watch a Los Angeles Lakers home game at the Staples Center, we hear Elton John’s Bennie & the Jets play off the soundboard. I love that lyric “electric music and solid walls of sound.” Calvin Harris generates creative sounds like Carlos Santana.
His uncanny ability to control crowds at social events should not be minimized.

Music lovers appreciate How Deep Is Your Love by Calvin Harris & Disciples. Expect this hit record to climb up the charts quickly. The accompanying video was released 2 months ago on YouTube and already has reached more than 100 million views. Amazingly, it’s gaining momentum.

Calvin Harris makes sauna music. It’s always hot and steamy. Likewise, his ongoing relationship with Taylor Swift is pretty intense.
He’s been fortunate to collaborate with top talents Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, and Rita Ora. In another lifetime, he might have been the Prince of Scotland. Today, he’s collecting huge English Music Royalties.

How much does Calvin Harris charge to DJ weddings? Years ago when he first started I’d wager he had a figure. Currently, Calvin commands the stage like a Rihanna Navy seal. He’s turned into an international figurehead.

Musically, Calvin Harris is Prince Harry. Right now, Taylor Swift seems mesmerized by the hot and tall stud. Moreover, the one-man shop musician doesn’t buckle under pressure.

Taylor Swift’s time is too precious to waste on chumps. This lad has gained respect from music’s elite. As a producer, his potential exceeds the best. His sampling compares favorably to Kanye West and Diddy.

However, the genius of Calvin Harris is that he doesn’t compete with artists. Calvin feeds off their energy. Why does every prominent nightclub in the world play his music? He is globally appealing. They say sex sells; and the Scottish gent is a “sex salesman.”
What is more, Calvin Harris maximizes his strengths.

Why The Weeknd Is On Fire

BY: GURU JAY

  
Have you seen the YouTube video explaining how to create a hologram on your smartphone? Can you imagine watching The Weeknd Can’t Feel My Face video in 3D? Have you seen the part when he’s dancing while on fire? And all this time, you thought only Fantastic Four characters could do that.
Right now the Canadian singer has the number 1 Billboard Hot 100 song. He was born to sing. He thrills music fans.  What is more, the story of chasing your dreams never gets old.
Did you know The Weekend dropped out of high school when he was 17? How many great entertainers skip college? To paraphrase, Ellen DeGeneres told the Tulane University graduating class “they wasted their money.”


The Love Me Harder singer gets plenty of love and money. Like Lenny Kravitz and Bruno Mars, his groupies are enthusiastic about him. And like a Rolling Stone, the tempting lyricist aka Papa has a home alongside a hat.
Moreover, this 25 year old has youth on his side. But, the artist remains controversial because he frequently references drugs in his music. Despite being explicit, the celebrity completes his objectives. Entertainers should entertain. That’s all. 
If celebs want to voice their objections, more power to them. Be aware though that politics is filthier than adult entertainment. Hollywood bosses and music executives look like saints compared to Presidential candidates.

I like that the Weekend isn’t politically correct because political correctness paralyzes pop culture. The Weeknd represents a challenge to the status quo. You see The Weeknd is popular because his lyrics and music videos are not safe for weekdays.

Remember the Alicia Keys song “this girl is on fire!” Well, the Weeknd is on fire too! This boy needs a fire extinguisher, pronto. Give The Weeknd 5 years. He is destined to explode.

What If Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande Sang Duets Together

BY: GURU JAY



Can you picture Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande singing duets together? You know Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars have taken music to a higher level. They’re on top of the totem pole.
Plus, they bring youthful energy to every song. That’s why their YouTube channels generate billions of views. What is more, the singers make music everyone can listen to.
It’s amazing how they control their pitch and tone. I would like Ariana Grande to voice my GPS. And Bruno Mars will sing my theme music.
These singers are in another stratosphere. Every girl loves hearing ‘Just the Way You Are’ because it’s perfect! Also, I have no problem with the way the ‘Problem’ musician sings.

As great as the Weeknd is, he’s no Bruno Mars. Replace the Weeknd’s part on ‘Love Me Harder’ with a Bruno Mars version. Wow, wouldn’t that be incredible?
You see, the musicians have built fortresses for  fan bases. Musically, there is hardly anybody better than them, which is scary because they’re neither one is even 30 years old. In fact, Ariana hasn’t turned 25 yet.
Something tells me Ariana Grande will get her chance to perform at the Super Bowl like Bruno Mars . It wouldn’t surprise me if she does the National Anthem and Half Time show, numerous times in her career.

Who wants some concert tickets? Is Bruno Mars Superman, because his talent is beyond Planet Earth? How many days does it take you to get ‘Uptown Funk’ out your head?


It takes me 3 days to get Bruno’s songs out my brain. So, I listen to his music once about every 4 days. I’m convinced Bruno Mars is capable of brainwashing the masses.
Moreover, the whole world likes these music artists mainly because of their modesty. It seems like they’re unaware of their effect on people’s eardrums. Or maybe, it’s all an illusion.
One thing I do know is after Ariana Grande hits 3 high notes, she’s got you hooked. There’s no denying that she makes addicting music. Fans can’t wait until she goes on tour again.
Fans feel the same way about Bruno Mars. Who serenades better than the Hawaiian? Let’s get the Bruno Mars/Ariana Grande duet campaign officially started.

Who Wins? Justin Bieber Vs. Selena Gomez

BY: GURU JAY

You must look at the glass half-empty and half-full. In other words, the pros need the cons and the Beliebers need the Biebs. So, why expect Selenators to standby while Justin dates Gomez’s archrival Ariana Grande?

I believe Bieber and Grande make a more perfect union. In the long run, Grande and Gomez will likely pass up Justin financially and in popularity. You see Grande churns out hits like butter. And Selena can fall back on acting.
Does the name Jennifer Lopez click? I don’t proclaim soothsaying superpowers. All I offer you are opinions and predictions on this subject. 

Justin Bieber could prove everyone wrong and make several smashing hits in the future. Frankly, I’m tired of everybody riding Justin hard, when it’s not his fault. Can you picture the spotlight shining on you at age 14?
Think about all the stupid stuff teenagers do. So, on the one hand, I say give Bieber a break. On the other hand, I say where is Justin’s number 1 hit record?
Here’s what happened. His managers accelerated his follower count. You saw the same thing happen with Meghan Trainor. Trust me, you don’t want instant fame because like John Lennon so elegantly sang, “Instant karma’s gonna get you.”
If you are an aspiring entertainer or celebrity, don’t buy their bullshit. You’ll hear them claim, “I can get you 100 million views.” Here’s my advice. If you can get famous in a day, you can get destroyed in a day.
Take your time and grow a true fan base. Yes, social media is an awesome and useful tool, but getting better at your talent is more important. Plus, you need to improve your skills before it’s too late.

Justin Bieber is truly talented. However, his financiers built his brand too big and too quickly. Watch what happens to One Direction. They are in a similar predicament.
In ten years, I have Selena Gomez beating Justin Bieber in a landslide.

How Gwen Stefani and Fergie Became Icons

BY: GURU JAY


Who can deny Gwen Stefani’s long lasting mark? Today, the music artist remains relevant leaving her counterparts in the dust. In a super competitive field, Gwen has made a number of hit records and profitable deals.
For instance, Stefani endorses MasterCard. Plus, the celebrity’s clothing line LAMB is a dynasty. By diversifying her products, you see why Gwen Stefani became a commercial success.
Right now, Gwen has almost 2 million Twitter followers. You can bet the Cool songstress lives a luxurious lifestyle with up-to-date apps and gadgets. Be cautious though, because in Gwen’s own words she “ain’t no hollaback girl.”

Gwen Stefani was born in Southern California. So, she’s been surrounded by entertainers her whole life. That’s why Stefani is no stranger to the spotlight. More importantly, Gwen Stefani understands how to handle fame’s side effects. 

Apparently, like Fergie, she is living in the fast lane and yielding amazing results.

Madison Heights, Michigan native Stacy Ann Ferguson is widely known as Fergie. Her music is still heard throughout the world on radio airwaves and inside nightclubs. Gwen Stefani can teach Fergie her business savvy. Moreover, Gwen can learn from Ferg’s musical creativity.

I feel Fergie sings better than Gwen Stefani. In addition, the Black Eyed Peas singer has an outstanding music catalog. And as a solo music artist, Fergie has developed an original sound.
Nobody likes musical copycats; and that’s why everybody loves Fergie. You can’t compare her style with Madonna because the Fergalicious rapper refuses to imitate. Ferg teaches future singers how to innovate instead of merely recreating.
Fergie serves as a wonderful hostess for New Years’ festivities. Because she is the complete package, this entertainer will always find work. Not subscribing to the status quo is her M.O.

Gwen Stefani and Fergie possess star qualities. What is more, their exemplary careers teach lessons to upcoming entertainers. Instead of fixating on your limits, fix your eyes upon unlimited horizons.

How Kid Cudi Takes You Up a Notch

BY: GURU JAY

I’m convinced that Cleveland, Ohio contains a secret ingredient in their water. Look at LeBron James as a prime example. I don’t blame him for returning to this city anymore.
Carrie Underwood said “there is something in the water.” Of course, Cleveland is strategically located by the Great Lake Erie. Did you know Kid Cudi was born and raised there? Not in the water silly! on land; he’s not Aquaman.
What are your favorite Kid Cudi songs? I suggest Day ‘N’ Nite, Pursuit of Happiness, and Up, Up & Away. In addition, the musician received two Grammys for All of the Lights.

Not enough bloggers pay tribute to Kid Cudi and his heavy impact on music. The average consumer listens to Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole in that order. Let me introduce you to a little variety, because isn’t life all about taking it up a notch?

Kid Cudi brings back the days of Woodstock. I’ve said it before, if I could time travel, I’d go back to 1970 and save Jimi Hendrix. Because I can’t break through the time continuum right now, I’ll see a few Cudi concerts while technology advances.

First off, Kid Cudi is underrated because he goes against the grain like Common, Mos Def, and Nas. He understands that Hip-Hop isn’t Pop. Rappers like Cudi are supposed to be vocal about social issues. Yes, pick and choose your battles, but don’t sellout and act cowardly. That’s what Iggy Azalea hasn’t learned. 

Kid Cudi proves that making positive Hip-Hop music is possible. What is more, properly produced motivational songs can in fact be profitable. Cudi demonstrates why more artists should incorporate spiritual and uplifting lyrics instead of superficial and materialistic nonsense.

Aren’t you sick and tired of the rubbish you hear on the radio? Why not try something different? Listen to Kid Cudi on Pandora, iTunes, and YouTube.

Beyoncé concerts DailyMotion Fergie futuristic Hip Hop Iggy Azalea Justin Timberlake Lady Gaga NSYNC pop music rap Technology The Black Eyed Peas the future timeless tours videos will.i.am YouTube

The Futuristic Music of Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas

BY: GURU JAY

The best pop music sounds futuristic. Justin Timberlake named his tour the FutureSex/LoveShow. Furthermore, who’s more on the cutting edge than Lady Gaga? The Black Eyed Peas actually live in present day 3008.

Even as the NSYNC leader, Justin showed early signs of prospering on his own. Once Timberlake committed to the idea of greatness, he became great. He let his passion flourish. Will you?

If Beyoncé is a dream girl, then Justin Timberlake is every girl’s dream. His Until the End of Time duet with Beyoncé still attracts daily views on YouTube as well as DailyMotion (pun intended). How can you get more futuristic than the apocalypse?

Of course Timberlake received high marks on his progress reports, because he’s progressive. Check out Ayo Technology by 50 Cent featuring Justin. Timberlake makes my top 10 pop star list because he works smart. I currently have him at #5, but with an array of smashing hits, he can easily move up to #1.


The face of music treats entertainment as a business. That’s why the passionate musician owns a portion of MySpace. By making intelligent decisions, instead of working hard, you’ll hardly have to work.


Lately, Lady Gaga has underperformed slightly. That is actually a good thing because she had time to reflect and introspect. That’s why I’m waiting patiently for the release of her next album.

One of these days, Gaga will perform on the moon. Remember where you read it first. I guarantee she’ll still look sexy too.

Seriously, while most musicians imitate, Lady Gaga innovates. Many pop stars sample oldies, but Gaga invents newbies. See ArtPop for proof that’s she’s unabashed and willing to try something new, exciting, and different.

There are several similarities between Fergie and Iggy Azalea. The Black Eyed Peas singer/rapper revolutionized music with bandleader will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo. ImmaBe influenced LMFAO’s popular Party Rock Anthem. Furthermore, Fergie still influences Iggy Azalea’s career.

This is the same band that brought you the E.N.D (The Energy Never Dies) album, which included hits such as: Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Rock That Body. Additionally, their music transcends time. Who remembers Craig Robinson’s Let’s Get It Started from the Hot Tub Time Machine?  

“ And the bass keeps runnin’ runnin’, and runnin’, runnin…”

The band is in it for the long haul. Because they come from different walks of life, the group’s music truly brings people together. The Black Eyed Peas dutifully embrace technology and the future. In the words of will.i.am, “you can’t say futuristic and then be afraid of the future.”

Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and the Black Eyed Peas can officially retire because they have produced enough content already to last two lifetimes. What is more, they have collected a treasure chest of timeless songs. I identify with all these musicians because I write timeless blogs.
