[POGO] ELECTRONIC DISNEY COVERS

Pogo is an electronic musician that uses the YouTube platform to get his music out. Pogo also known as Nick Bertke is a music producer and remix artist from Western Australia.

He made his Youtube account in 2007 and on his bio it states,

“I’m Pogo! I chuck weird sounds into a blender and blast them into a funky frappe for your earholes.”

His music has garnered over 110 million plays on Youtube by using recording small sounds, quotes, and melodies from film to turn it into an EDM dance track.

He does a lot of covers of Disney movies and they are pretty impressive that gives a new spin to these classic films.

[UNLIKELY BEST FRIENDS] LANA DEL REY & MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

Back in 2013, there was a crazy rivalry between Marina and the Diamonds and Lana Del Rey. They were both gaining a huge amount of popularity at the same time while being in the same genre. Lana had a more indie pop style while Marina focused more on electro-pop. I don’t know if the fans created the opposition or there was tension about who would be more popular. Comparisons shot through the roof and it could only cause drama.

Check out the similarities here:

Throughout the years these two have grown to crush these comparisons and it might have been the start of a great friendship.

Earlier this year they were shown hanging out together on their Instagram posts:

They are absolutely adorable.

This wasn’t the only time they hung out though.

In recent Instagram pictures, it seems like these two are truly great friends:

I am praying to God that they collaborate soon. Marina hasn’t released music since her 2015 release, FROOT and I have been patiently awaiting her to top herself and give us another great concept album.

[COVERS] LOSING THE ORIGINAL MEANING

Covers to songs are always a fun treat to listen to, but have you ever thought of the implications of taking away the original meaning of the song? Art has always been reproducible but that means that the original aura of the song goes down significantly. The reproduction of the song downgrades the originals presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. This leads to a shattering of tradition and disrespects the original song.

But I still do love covers because it takes the original song and turns it into something different and unique. I don’t know if I would say unique anymore because it contradicts what is actually taking place. Besides that, I think covers actually remind us of quality in the original song.

Listen to some of these covers here, but keep it in mind that covers are not always a compliment when it is degrading the first singer.

[NEW VIDEO] KID INK “TELL SOMEBODY”

Rapper Kid Ink has added a very controversial visual to his recently released single “Tell Somebody”.

The music video tells a love story that comes to a rocky road when tough immigration laws get in the way of the trip back to the U.S.

I’m not a political activist,” Ink admits while adding, “Instead of doing the typical rap video, I wanted to touch on something that matters to the world and present an example of a reason why this direction is a bad idea.”

Ink explains that he wants his upcoming album to be a complete experience. It’s clear that Kid is trying to expand his audience with this particular single and draw attention to important political issues.

I want my next album to feel whole. In the past, my albums were kind of just a collection of smashes, but I want my next album to be more well-rounded, not just club hits. I have hundreds of new songs. I think this year will be full-force for me.”
