SHOT ME DOWN EXTENDED REMIX by DAVID GUETTA & SKYLAR GREY
My favorite workout song this year and that gave this song a ridiculous amount of plays on iTunes.
This EDM remix of the classic Nancy Sinatra's "My Baby Shot Me Down" with surprisingly great vocals by Skylar Grey is the bomb. The beat is insane, the production is top notch and the drop is deadly. I can't handle it. Even though this is the only good song on David's album, Shot Me Down ***** on all the other DJs.
This 70s disco pop track with the usual Beyoncé urban flavor has always been a standout since the minute Beyoncé stopped the world with that digital drop. The bass line is nasty, the drums are sick, the lyrics are sexy as ****, the ad libs and backing vocals which include a male moaning are out of this world and finally Bey's vocals end careers.
C'mon Bey, it's not too late to release it. This song is a gift. The world needs to hear.
As a new artist, you're tempted to go big and come out with a bombastic debut single. But Hozier took the opposite direction and decided to showcase his extraordinary songwriting skills and produced a rather understated song but that packs more impact than any arena rock anthem. This song is all about the lyrics which I believe can be interpreted in 3 different ways: a break up, a gay anthem or an atheist anthem. This is a compliment to Hozier who schooled everyone on how to write a meaningful and timeless smash song.
I like Nancy's version too much to appreciate the covers. I don't even like Cher's version, the original, that much The only cover I like is the Monophonics
Blow is a bop, but I've overplayed it. The "cherry" bridge remains better than most things in life
This song quickly became my most played song on iTunes despite being released in November. That should tell you how much I'm obsessed with I love this gem. But let's hear it from Latch's ATRLcritic review. I couldn't have said it any better so here it is.

UM. MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO?? "The lyrics don't go anywhere!" They aren't supposed to "It's repetitive!" It's supposed to be "It sounds ratchet!" It's supposed to
Now that we've all exercised basic comprehension skills and come to the realization that Beyonce clearly did not go into the studio and yell over this trap beat thinking she was about to create a groundbreaking piece of music let's review.
If someone asked me to describe this song with one word, I would say fun.
I knew from the moment the snippet leaked that this was gonna be one of those wild, nonsensical uptempo tracks that I would be running around in my socks acting a loon to, and the fact that the theme of the video is that exact same thing just makes it so much more enjoyable. I LIVE for this kind of buffoonery.
When you listen for this song and simply take it for what it is, you can start to fully enjoy it,
and if you pay close attention you can hear that there's so much going on.
This beat is TEA, first of all, and then there's so much happening in the background with Bey emphasizing random different parts by shouting them a second time and all the "oohs" and "aahs."
Which leads me to my favorite part of the song.
What is it, you ask?
The part where she puts up? Her foot up?
Where she stands up? With her hands up?
Where she didn't drop that alcohol?
Where she kicked it with ya?
Where she spun?
No. The best part of the song starts at 2:35 when Mrs. Carter lets you hoes know that SHE KNOW YOU CARE and then proceeds to slip into a sultry vocal harmony which adds to her earlier point about her knowledge that you care and the beat makes a seamless transition into a smooth, ethereal outro
Then she went and spit a nasty 16 on you gals
Ooowee Bey be freaky deaky
Think me see she pink bikini
Rock that groovy dye dashiki
Nefertiti, edges kinky
Sweatin' out my blow out
Sweatin' out my press
Trick about to go off
Mad cause I'm so fresh
Fresher than yoooooou

I agree. Nancy's version remains superior. Guetta's version got my ass moving tho and for some reasons the drag queens here love to perform it.
Trouble Will Find Me was my favorite album last year and I still listen to it. I actually added it to my list of favorite albums of all time (the list only has 5 albums so far.)
Heavenfaced is just one of the many highlights of Trouble Will Find Me. I don't know why this song does what it does to me but the slayage is too much. By the time Matt gets to the bridge, I'm completely weak. Is it the amazing piano? Is it Matt's deep, creamy and soothing voice? Is it the way they layered all the acoustic drums, guitar and piano to create this beautiful piece of art? Or is it the flawless lyrics? I don't know but it's probably the perfect mix of all of it.
The only cover I like is the Monophonics
