Songs That I'm Currently Obsessed About...

Here are a list of the songs that are on heavy rotation on my iPod and my Spotify account (BTW, there will be a ost about this great, great program, I promise!). In no particular order:


1. "Radioactive", Imagine Dragons. I mentioned it on a previous post, and I will say it again; this is golden pop. This group, although indie on their basis, made such a great pop electronica blend in this track, that it's irresistibly delicious. The video, I'm no fan of it, but it's fun nonetheless. I predict great things for this band if they continue on this route. Amazing, haunting and provocative song.




2. "Get Lucky", Daft Punk. The return of this excellent electronica band,after a 3 year hiatus, is salted with an ode to the pop made at the end of the disco era and the beginning of the 80's. Like I said on a post on the You Tube video: "It's kinda ironic that this song, with a sound so reminiscing of said era, sounds so feriouciously refreshing among the bland pop of the Justins, Rihannas and Harlems out there". And I stand for that sentence. This is the sound of an iconic band.




3. "Come & Get It", Selena Gomez. I know, I know, Selena is pre-manufactured, Justin Bieber's hearthtrob, how on earth, bla, bla, bla. And yet, this song is so infectious with their Indian influences and slick move dances courtesy of this fine young lady. Many people would say this is a desperate attempt to stay relevant in a market filled with easy-forgettable pop young acts; I say, for a girl that is developing a sense of growing up without betraying her roots, this is a great pop song, as it is.





4. "I Love It", Icona Pop. There's a fact that states some of the best dance music comes from Sweden. So it's no surprise that this duo of girls stormed the scene with this club banger, rightfully entitled "I Love It", aware of the meaning of that phrase. We really came to love this song. Really powerful, and of course this is only the beginning for these girls. To get ready for the dancefloor.





5. "White Noise", Disclosure Feat. AlunaGeorge. Granted, EDM is taking over the world one beat at a time. So DJ's are now the rock stars of this era. And this duo of UK DJ's did a great job with this gorgeous song. Mesmerizing since the first listen, it goes well for both club hungers and indie folks alike, who would appreciate the take of Aluna George and the lyrics. A really playful and marvelous track.





6. "Can't Hold Us", Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Feat. Ray Dalton. Some people would accuse this this singer of being another cheap and lame Eminem impersonator. I said: "back off!" This is the real deal. Macklemore sure is clever and current, and his music is actually cool, giving odes to some old school a-la 70's music. This song, appropiately using a black guy on the chorus, gives me a warm sensation and made me feel good when I listen to it. And that what songs should do for us.





7. "Sail", AWOLNATION. Definitely not my type of music, but there's a hypnotic quality on this song that it is imposible to resist. Rock and electronic music always make a great combo, and this epic song futher proofs that corollary, and then some. Not a geniune blast like other songs, and it get a few listens to be liked, but this is something you better not overlook.





8. "#thatPOWER", Will.i.Am Feat. Justin Bieber. Everything that Will did wrong with Britney, now it is done well, except for the horrendous title (seriously, people should stop using the # sign, it only looks well on Twitter). Justin sounds decent, but the production of this sure-to-be pop anthem for the 2013 summer is spot on, and the video is really amazing, with the choreography and all. Again, not the best song out there, just a funny one.





9. "Suit & Tie", Justin Timberlake Feat. Jay Z. Now a married man, this fine gentleman is delivering some serious music that still manages to sound cool and breezy - the 'breezy' part courtsey of the music mogul Jay Z. The beginning of the song could well be on the loop of my iPhone ad-infinitum, and the video is really well executed and precious, on a black-and-white motif. All in all, a great comeback for Justin.





10. "Poetic Justice", Kendrick Lamar. The only thing that does for me in this song? The Janet Jackson simple from "Any Time, Any Place" song. Whatever thet has Janet's signature on it, it's a yes-yes-yesss on my book. And if it is as clever as it is in this song, that's a bonus. And of course, Drake, that man is ubiquitous, and rightfully so. He's so tight in all these collabos, really amazing.



Hope you like them all!
