⚫ JT's probably one of the few artists I've seen that released 2 albums in a year! This 2nd installment is a bit of a downgrade for me overall compared to the first because there are such more fillers here on this one in my opinion! The collaborations didn't do much for me either but still, the sound from the first, upgraded and the production is still very impressive! Overall, as a body of work, there should be such reshuffling off tracks from both albums and put one together a cohesive work instead of dividing
2009: David Guetta - "One Love" 2011: Christina Perri - "Lovestrong." 2012: The Script - "#3"
⚫ Even after and before my first listen upon the album, I immediately was caught into attention off this particular song and definitely it was the most hit-and radio ready track off his album! The chorus is pure pop gold and the song overall has that urban flavored sound! The production is very slick in this and I really loved the part where the song segues and fades into the 'Love of My Life' segment! Best part off right there! As for the video! ASTOUNDING!
2009: Pixie Lott - "Boys and Girls" 2011: Miranda Cosgrove - "Dancing Crazy" 2012: Foster the People - "Houdini"

J. COLE - "Power Trip" (feat. Miguel)
WEEKS ON CHART: 10 weeks PEAK POSITION: #01 (1 week)
⚫ When I first heard this song, my initial reaction was just like it's a random skip song, but the production and the hook got me into it after a few couple of listens until I realized that it's one of his best yet!. Miguel providing the post chorus hook is definitely a look-out and Cole spits his verse over such driving beats off the background makes the song! One of my ultimate growers of 2013! As for the video, there's indeed a shock value twist added to it! My only complain is it's very dark! More lighting please!
2009: Lady Gaga - "Just Dance" (ft. Colby 'O Donis) 2011: Sara Bareilles - "Gonna Get Over You" 2012: Nicki Minaj - "Stupid Hoe"

DEMI LOVATO - "Made in the USA"
WEEKS ON CHART: 10 weeks PEAK POSITION: #07
⚫ Second single wise, I really like their choice for this! Song overall, is very anthemic and the lyrics are carefree and easy to sing a long too! But then it fared moderately on the charts, but the song in my opinion, deserves more better! The guitar opening intro and the 1st verse is an instant attention grabber! Overall, it's a nice feel-good type / hands in the air type of a song! But not a highlight single for miss Demi though!
2009: Lily Allen - "The Fear" 2011: One Direction - "What Makes You Beautiful" 2012: Flo Rida -"I Cry"
