RELEASED:May 31, 2013 GENRE: House, UK garage, future garage, deep house LABEL: PMR, Island PRODUCER: Disclosure
FAVORITES:
❤❤❤❤❤ "White Noise" (ft. AlunaGeorge) ; "Confess to Me" (f. Jessie Ware)
❤❤❤❤ "Latch" (ft. Sam Smith) ; "January" (ft. Jamie Woon)
❤❤❤ "When a Fire Starts to Burn" ; "Voices" (ft. Sasha Keable)
⚫ It is a debut album full of bops! Song after song, it never fails to put you in a good dance mode, wise inclusion of the UK's most credible vocalists and artists! While Disclosure's distinct/signature trademark production are present in all of the tracks, just not complaining but I think every song has the same similar backing beat all over! Clearly having that distinction that hearing each definitely "it's a Disclosure track!"

RELEASED:March 22, 2013 GENRE: Pop rock ; alternative rock LABEL: Mosley ; Interscope PRODUCER: Jeff Bhasker ; Benny Blanco ; Drew Brown ; Emile Haynie ; Tyler Sam Johnson ; Brent Kutzle ; Ryan Tedder ; Noel Zancanella ; Zdar and Boombass
FAVORITES:
❤❤❤❤❤ "Counting Stars"
❤❤❤❤ "If I Lose Myself" ; "I Lived" ; "Au Revoir"
❤❤❤ "Burning Bridges" ; "Something I Need"
⚫ While maintaining their signature style all over their albums, this has much lesser replay value for me than Waking Up, their previous effort! But, the sound was more bolder than before, the production is a trademark, and the lyrics are definitely on their style! it seems when Ryan Tedder is on his band, there is this comfort zone that only them can pull off, and I doubt if these songs were given to his client artists, can they pull such justice?
"...Can you feel the heat on my skin..Can you feel all my loving...You and me, we're standing on the sun..Can you feel my heart burning..Make you feel all my good loving...You and me, we're standing on the sun..."

WEEKS ON CHART: 6 weeks PEAK POSITION: #02
⚫ While we haven't heard the official full version of the song yet, everything about this screams as a SUMMER SONG! Definitely! Looking back now, I understand why Bey didn't include such on her new self titled album but the song is so good to be unheard. Oh well, it served its purpose then as a theme of the H&M commercial! The 4 elements embodied by Bey in the clip is just pure amazement! By the way, the only clip commercial song to appear on my charts! without having the full version!
2009: Keri Hilson - "Knock You Down" (ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo) 2011: Pixie Lott - "What Do You Take Me For?" (ft. Pusha T) 2012: Bruno Mars - "It Will Rain"

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - "Tunnel Vision"
"...I got that tunnel vision for you..I got that tunnel vision for you..I got that tunnel vision for you...I got that tunnel vision, I only see you..."
WEEKS ON CHART: 6 weeks PEAK POSITION: #01 (1 week)
⚫ One of my top favorites on his album! The hook and the Timbaland production is perfect and it reeks melodies ala "Cry Me a River"! While the song is nearing 7 minutes just like the other tracks off the album, the video is definitely the highlight as it followed the footstep of the monster "Blurred Lines" as to nude exposing of female models! Ughhh I wish JT was the one in nude instead of them
2009: Backstreet Boys - "Straight Through My Heart" 2011: Coldplay - "Paradise" 2012: Lana del Rey - "Summertime Sadness"

WEEKS ON CHART: 8 weeks PEAK POSITION: #05
⚫ Ciara was on a mini success slayage on this lead single over her self title effort this year! Great inclusion of the 90's hit "My Boo" to accompany one of the sexiest songs of the year! Ciara's vocals just flows over and oozes pure sexiness! The video couldn't be more perfect as it features boyfie rapper Future, and the highlight is..Ciara doing a sexy dance on him therefore serving an invitation for her "body party"
