The song fuses three samples extracted from different songs ( Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Can’t Get Used To Losing You by Andy Williams and Turn My Swag On by Soulja Boy). This time the choice fell on Hold Up, created in collaboration with master Diplo. In this context it’s surely not strange that Beyoncé has extracted another single from Lemonade. This is thanks not only to a solid reputation that she has earned over the years, but also thanks to an unquestionable talent and to a record, Lemonade, that many liked definetely more than her previous self-titled album.

The constancy in her albums’ sales is incredible and the success she is getting with her latest tour is truly unbelievable. Our beloved R&B queen Beyoncé might not be as strong as she was in the early 2000s in releasing massive hits, but nevertheless the rest of music biz definitely has nothing to envy to Mrs. And just like the love the song is about, it binds on your ears and you can’t help but listen to it once again. Whoever has been in love, a least once, can deeply understand RiRi‘s lyrics.ĭespite the rhythm is quite uniform, Rihanna offers such a wide range of vocal changes from the very beginning up to the end of the track. Love On The Brain, is about a different kind of love, a love that does not play on the physical side of the relationship, but on the mental one, a love that you can’t remove from your thoughts. The song, entirely produced by Fred Ball, kinda reminds me of the 70s Prince-style ballads. The song is a mix of elegance and innovation vocally speaking, a great test for Rihanna who is more used to exploit the power of her voice. And luckily, the choice has fallen on my favorite Anti track, Love On The Brain. To try to subvert the mediocre results of Anti, Rihanna has just announced the release of a new single. RiRi has returned to dominate the single charts with the great success of Work, and the average results of Needed Me and Kiss It Better. While the album suffers of poor sales, Mrs. The disc has just passed 1,1 million copies sold, definitely not an amazing result for a big name like Rihanna, but it still goes well beyond the initial estimates. Rihanna keeps on relentlessly promoting her Anti album. But if this is the beginning, then for sure we would expect so much from them.Įnjoy the brand new BlackPink and their hot Boombayah! Boombayah is a fast-tempo track with an addictive electro chorus with Arab sonorities, in which the four girls rap and sing I’d say quite good. Gangnam Style is the example that idiom is not a barrier in music (thanks God). Boombayah is a perfect summer club hit, even if it is sang almost entirely in Korean, with some flashes of English. In the first day on YouTube it reached more than 5 million views. And you know what? This song is gonna be huge. BlackPink debuted yesterday with the so much hyped single Boombayah, created by the music genius Teddy, father of Gangnam Style. This time, after 7 years, YG announced the creation of a new girl group called BlackPink composed of Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo and Jennie, four pretty girls coming from different countries worldwide.

With no doubt, by far, YG Entertainment is the most influential label in Korea, creator of the world shocking cyclone PSY and girl group 2NE1. And the Korean music labels fight so hard between them to discover the hugest potential around. In Korea, becoming an artist is a long process that could take up to 7-8 years of training before the so coveted debut. In Korea, being an artist, is not only a business that can randomly happen by being noticed a club when you sing karaoke and a producer is there and drinks his beer. K-pop gained so much attention over the years thanks to big performers like PSY, 2NE1, Big Bang, Girls Generation and many many others. It’s not a secret that South Korea is one of the most innovative countries, both technologically and musically speaking.
