Song of the Month: “Losin Control” by Russ

Music

My song of the month is “Losin Control” by Russ. Russ is a hip-hop artist hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. “Losin Control” dropped last year, and it’s about a woman fighting against falling in love because of her trust issues from past relationships. The visuals in the music video are a little dark, but pretty cool; however, the music video came under fire for plagiarizing Polish electronic group RYSY’s music video…

Song of the Month: “Company” by Justin Bieber

Music

My song of the month is “Company” by Justin Bieber. I know. I wasn’t expecting to be a Belieber at all (and I guess I’m not still), but Bieber’s last album, Purpose, was surprisingly really good! (And I know I am not the only one that thought so.) “Company” is a cross between electropop and R&B that’s mellow, yet bright. The first music video for the song was released in…

Song of the Month: “On My Mind” by Don Diablo

Music

My song of the month is “On My Mind” by Don Diablo. This electronic song was released about a year ago, and it is the perfect summer jam. I run to it, I drive to it, I shower to it. It is such a feel-good song, you cannot help but bop when it is playing. I first heard the song while watching Jay Alvarrez’s Summer video (below). Enjoy! Also, here’s…

Song of the Month: "Sorry" by Beyoncé

Music

My song of the month is “Sorry” by Beyoncé. Let me be honest: I wanted to make the whole bloody Lemonade Album of the Month (and I really could. It is my blog), but for the sake of consistency, I picked one song. It was a bloody difficult choice, too. Lemonade is such an incredible body of work, a beautiful work of art. I did a brief post on why…

Song of the Month: “Piece by Piece (Idol Version)” by Kelly Clarkson

Music

My song of the month is “Piece by Piece (Idol Version)” by Kelly Clarkson. The song has been around since last year, but last month, Clarkson performed a special rendition of the number on American Idol. I knew of the song, but had not listened to it until I saw the video of her Idol performance. I was emotional, and my eyes were literally welling with tears. If you have…

Music

My song of the month is “India’Song” by the incredibly gifted India.Arie. The song comes from Arie’s third studio album, Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationships, that was released in 2006. Wow, as I am typing this, I am just realizing and cannot believe that was 10 years ago. I love this song. I sing to it all of the time. Arie’s vocals are smooth as always, and coupled with…

My song of the month is “Here” by Alessia Cara. This song has been around since April of last year, but I still listen to it (and a lot this month). Cara is a 19 year-old Canadian singer and songwriter with an incredibly soulful voice. “Here,” Cara’s debut single, was released in April 2015 through Def Jam, put on her EP Four Pink Walls in August, and then put on her…

Song of the Month: "She" by Fatai

Music

My song of the month is “She” by Fatai. Fatai is a singer and musician from Melbourne, Australia, and she has one of my favourite voices. Her debut EP, Undone, released earlier this week, and “She” is the last track on it. I love this song because it boils down to gratitude. In the lyrics, Fatai talks about a girl on the other side of the world who has nothing, but…
