Today has been a very chill day.  So I spent most of my working hours listening to some new (to me) music.  There was one song in particular that had me hitting the repeat button; Usher's new song "Climax".  His voice sent chills down my back as I listened.   You would almost think that the song would be about sex.  But if you really listen to the words it's about a relationship.  A relationship that has reached that point where it has to end.  You can hear the emotion throughout the song.  I feel like during the verse, when his voice getting higher, he's almost crying.  But at the bridge he's pleading.  He doesn't want it to end but it has to.  I'm really loving this track.   

Take a listen and let me how you feel in the comments below.  Till another day....

Today Wiz Khalifa's new mix tape hit DatPiff.  To his fans this project has been much anticipated.  I follow Khalifa on Twitter and was a little excited to give it a listen.  My brother, Jeremy, who is an avid music listener was also looking forward to checking out the tape.  You can check out his review at JMintsMusic.  

So did it live up to the hype?  I think it did.  I took a listen to the mix tape and found myself bouncing to the beat.  It has a very chill sound.  I like how "relaxed" it felt.  The interview in between each song was a nice touch.  Just hearing where Wiz is and and where he came from was refreshing; they were good interludes to the song to come.

Since I follow Wiz I checked out Twitter to see what people were saying.  People were definitely talking about him as he was a Top Trend.  There is a lot of positive feedback on this tape.  There was also a lot of talk about his girlfriend, Amber Rose, being featured on one of the tracks.  I personally liked the track "Never Been Part II" which featured Rose and Rick Ross.  She really didn't do too much.  I think she was just featured for her sound.  I liked the dynamic that she added to the track.

The site, DatPiff, where Khalifa dropped the mixtape has been getting a lot of traffic for this mix tape.  Just in the hour that I have been listening to the stream, the number of streams went from 51,000 to 57,000 and the number of downloads went up a good couple thousand as well.  People are definitely interested in checking out Khalifa and his new project.  

All in all, I would recommend a listen and a download.  This mix tape has a great sound and feel to it.  The mix tape is "strong" as my brother says.  It will definitely be on repeat in my car.  I just can't wait to see him next month when he comes to Missouri State for his show.

So, check it out!!  Till another day... 

 
Hey Everyone!!!

Just a short post today!  Just for fun I have started a "Survey of the Week" page.  This week it's music.  It's really simple.  Nothing too intruding.  Check it out!

I know that this song came out a year ago.  But I just wanted to share it because I am so in love with Miguel right now.  I hear that he is working on his next album and I can't wait to get my hands on it.  

Enjoy!
