Nokia Music Explorer : Glee Songs

Feb 23rd, 2010

glee

Have you heard of the TV Series ‘Glee’? If not then, which rock have you been hiding in?!? Glee focuses on a high school glee club called "New Directions", at the fictional William McKinley High School. Their songs maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits. The series won the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy Series.

1) “Gold Digger” o.a. Kanye West

Ok maybe its because its Matthew Morrison rapping on this one, but this version of Gold Digger is just as good as, if not better than the original version. The chorus with everyone singing in the background lends a nice touch. Okay okay, its probably mostly coz of Matthew Morrisson :P

Now I ain’t sayin’ she a gold digger (When I’m in need)

2) “Bust Your Windows” o.a. Jazmine Sullivan

This song features Amber Riley’s great vocals, this is one of her solo songs. One of my favourite songs in Glee besides the mashups. The lyrics reminds me of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats”. Awesome awesome song

You see you cant just play with peoples feelings
Tell them you love them and don’t mean it
you’ll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile

Nokia Music Explorer : TV Themes

Feb 14th, 2010

My song recommendations this week with the theme : TV Series

1. Jason walker – Down frm "Vampire Diaries S01E06"

Once in a while you hear a particular song in the background while watching shows and you know that you MUST get the full song. This was one of it.

"I shot for the sky, I’m stuck on the ground
So why do i try, I know I’m gonna fall down…
I thought I could fly, So why did I drown
I never know why, It’s coming down, down, down"

 

2. Cosy in the Rocket – "Grey’s Anatomy" Theme

I forgot who sang this, it doesn’t really say in the Music Store also, but this song is a happy-ish song with minimal vocals, mostly instrumental. I used this for my ringtone for a while. Cute, lounge type music :)

Nokia Music Explorer : Covers

Feb 2nd, 2010

0 Comment


Missed last week’s recommendations coz was outstation in Sabah, so here are 4 songs this week. The theme is Covers :D

1. Buses & Trains (cover) – Nikki Gil
Nikki Gil is a singer from the Philippines that has an album of covers of songs. Her voice is smooth and her energy in upbeat. She has another album of Tagalog songs… (but i downloaded it anyway).

2. Smooth (Santana Cover) – Escape the Fate
This song is frm the album "Punk Goes Pop Vol 2" and this cover is one of my favs in the album. Think Smooth with a more rock-ish vibe. Love love love! Download the whole album while you’re at it :P

3. Ayo Technology (Cover) – Milow
I first heard this in youtube – quite a sexy vid if i may say – and a great cover. Almost sounds like an Unplugged version of the original. Sexy vocals from Milow

4.Me & Mrs Jones – Michael Buble
There have been many-many covers of this song, but I still like Michael Buble’s version. Reminds me of lounge-y music, black piano and ballrooms. Great for mellow days

Nokia Music Explorer : Morning Anthems

Jan 19th, 2010

0 Comment


I’m sure everyone has a morning anthem – A song that they really like and gets em going in the morning. Listening to your morning anthem gives you semangat to start the day. Here are two of mine.

Robbie William – I Will talk and Hollywood Will Listen
This was a fren’s morning anthem, he played it every morning and because I hitched a ride from him to my college, I had to listen to it as well. After a few days, its clear why. Its a powerful song to encourage yourself that even a big entity like Hollywood will listen to you.

The chorus goes, "I will talk and Hollywood will listen/ See them bow at my every word/ Mr. Spielberg look just what you’re missing/ Doesn’t that seem a little absurd/ Bow at my every word "

Ke$ha – Tik Tok
I know this is a weird turn frm something classic like Robbie Williams but this is such an upbeat and happy song in the morning. Not to mention it makes reference to Jack, as in Jack Daniels, one of my fave drinks. LOL!

The first verse goes : "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy (Hey, what up girl?)/ Put my glasses on, I’m out the door – I’m gonna hit this city (Let’s go)/ Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack/ Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back

Enjoy!
