Music Monday__Skylar Grey

So some of you may know of Skylar Grey for her collaborations with Dr. Dre in "I need a Doctor" and in Diddy's song "Coming Home." I have been loving her melodic voice, however I haven't acknowledged her as an individual artist. So I had stumbled across her new song on Youtube "Wear me Out," (third video) which lead me to "Final Warning" (first video), and finally "C'mon Let me Ride" ft. Eminem. I think she has a fresh sound to her and likes to have a combination of serious and silly songs which I like in an artist.

Music Monday__Charli XCX

So this woman has a very electric dirty bubblegum pop sound to her. I found her with the song "You (Ha Ha Ha)," in which she is sampling from another song that I like "You" by Gold Panda.

The Next Song by her that I am loving is "Take my Hand," which was produced by Urban Outfitters. Her whole vibe reminds me of a futuristic 90s era singer. Her songs will keep you happy and wanting some more. 

Music Monday___Great Gatsby Soundtrack

So I couldn't just choose one song for this week. The Great Gatsby soundtrack has been on repeat for me in the past week. I love the artists they took and modern music and made it sound like it could have been made in the 20s, if the 20s was now. Go listen. Here are a few songs from the soundtrack that are my favorite.

Young and Beautiful__Lana del Ray

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All we Got)__Fergie, Q-Tip, GoonRock

Back to Black__Beyonce and André 3000
