I'm late to the game - I know this, mannnn. However, I am glad that I am finally here because I have fallen in love with another artist. Well, her voice at least. With underrated talent (something that kills me about many underground artists), not a lot have probably heard of her music, but that needs to change. When there is an incredible voice out in the world, I believe that that voice needs to be heard whether it is singing, giving a speech, or making a beat. Skylar Grey happens to be using her vocals to belt out amazing, thought out lyrics that even the greatest artists would fancy.  Oh! And I guess some have recognized the budding artist as she was the lady behind the lyrics of Eminem's tune Love the Way You Lie. 

Don't Look Down, Skylar's 2013 album, was released July 09, 2013.  It's such an amazing album that I highly recommend listening to! The vocals, the lyrics, the meaning, the...everything.  If you need to be a little bit more convinced, check out three of my song choices that I really love from the album below! Tell me that you don't love it. Just say it.

I kind-of-sorta fell head-over-heels in love with Chris Young's voice after hearing his tune Neon play twenty million point five times last year on 99.5 WYCD.  Then, the tune You suddenly got stuck in my head. Now, honestly, I can go on and on and on about how I came to love most (read: all) of his songs within a few months, but you don't have time for that, and neither do I! However, I want to introduce to you all his new album A.M., which was released September 16, 2013 (hey! it wasn't that long ago).  The album consists of 11 tunes (Aw Naw opens it and Lighters In the Air ends it).

Prior to this past Saturday (September 21st), I never listened to Avicii. Now, when I say that, I do not mean literally. I mean to my knowledge. It is only when I came across their newest album True that I realized I have, in fact, heard this amazing dance/electronic guy before. His beats are simply amazing! The song that I recognized is called Levels and is Avicii's 2011 single. However, I want to introduce you to Avicii's 2013 album that I aforementioned: True. The album houses eleven tracks starting with Wake Me Up and ending with Long Road to Hell. Some featured artists on the album include Audra Mae, Karen Marie Orsted, Nile Rodgers, Adam Lambert, Linnea Henriksson, and Dan Reynolds.

After listening to True, I would probably rate it a 4.8/5.0. That is pretty darn awesome, if I were to say. The only reason the other 2 points are missing is because I (personally) would like the Tomorrowland version (feat. Joakim Berg) of Liar Liar than what is on the album (feat. Bondfire). However, that is personal preference, hence my rating. If it were not for that, it would totally be a 5.0/5.0.

Another edition of Weekly Bands is here again. Happy Wednesday everyone! How has your week been going? Mines has been tiring (tests here and there, studying, homework, current event papers, etc.). Friday is only two days away, then the weekend shall be here (wohooo!!).

Demi Lovato has always been an extremely talented person.  She can sing and act (plus she is an extreme beauty), so she is essentially a double triple whammy (haha, I love that word). The album that I am talking about is not new (it came out earlier this year, 2013), but I still want to tell all of you that have not listened to it, or did not even know she had a newer album out that there is one: Demi. This album has so. many. amazing songs. Soooo many. Demi has a wide vocal range, and she really knows how to use her voice. You can pop the CD in (or press play on your iTunes playlist) and let the music just play (off of shuffle) without skipping any songs. Now you know that if you do not need to shuffle the songs around, it is a really good album. Yep, yep. Props to you Demi! To hear three of my favorite tunes from the album, just press play on the players below. Fall in love. :) You're welcome.

There are two more days until the weekend as we are in the middle of the week (Wednesday), so I think that is a reason for celebration.  We not only made it here, we are going to finish the week with a good ending. Let's find some good tunes, turn it up, and dance dance dance! There is nothing to not love about being able to do that.

In case you are new to this here blog, I just began this Weekly Bands/Solo Artists series over to Savage of My Life. It's to promote (for no compensation) bands/solo artists that I love and I think deserves credit where due. It's also to tell you guys about the type of music that I enjoy, and hopefully you discover some good tunes, too!

John Legend is a very popular rhythm-and-blues singer that I have come to love ever since I heard his tune Tonight (Best You Ever Had) off of the movie Think Like A Man. His new album Love In The Future came out August 30th of this year. I have to admit that the songs are purely genius, the lyrics amazing, and the voice - oh gosh, don't get me started.
