CAN JUSTIN BIEBER AND SELENA GOMEZ MAKE UP THEIR MIND?

It looks like Justin Bieber was “keeping an eye on the Selener”

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially dating again. This famous couple dated on and off for about three years until 2014. They have been spotted together frequently after Selena’s break up from The Weekend singer in October. Justin and Selena were spotted kissing a month after the breakup, which sent everyone into a frenzy and rightfully so, they are one of the most famous couples in Hollywood.

I think it’s really crazy how much these two get back together. I feel like since 2009 I have seen them go through everything right before my eyes. What is the point of breaking up if they are just going to come back to each other every few months? I would hate to be Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend since she seems to have no connection with anyone besides Justin Bieber. I think they are both wasting everyone’s time by breaking up and they should really get their act together. How often are you going to take back your ex until you realize there is a REASON that they are your ex. They will face the same problems they always have. A couple years have passed, but it is clear that they have serious issues. A number one sign of an abusive relationship is getting back together and breaking up constantly so I hope that their relationship isn’t like that. But considering how much of an asshole Justin can be, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Read my article about how Justin Bieber is an asshole here.

Sources say that Justin is different this time around. Justin is behaving more like a gentleman and being open about his feelings for Selena. It seems like Justin finally grew up at the age of 23. Treat your woman right or you’re going to lose her! He is also keeping in touch with her by calling her frequently when he is on tour.

Selena’s mother doesn’t seem to be too pleased with their relationship. She stated she is, “not happy” about her daughter’s renewed romance with Bieber but she is not interfering in her daughter’s life. Justin is walking on thin ice. A mother’s approval means a lot.

 

Also in 2014, Justin got a DUI, which caused problems for their relationship. Now he is in a better place. But why would Selena abandon him when he needs her the most?

Overall, all these things that Justin is doing just seem like the basic requirements for a boyfriend. I really have no idea why these two would get back together when they have so much bad history. Hopefully, it will inspire Justin to write more love songs on his next album. I hope this relationship inspires them to be more creative with their songs.

I expect them to break up in the next few months. This relationship has failed countless times before and will continue to fail. I want to shake Selena right now. Yeah, Justin has changed, but it is only the first two months. The problems they have had before will grow and their bad blood for leaving the first time will continue to be a huge mess. Maybe they are doing it for the publicity, but overall it is just not a smart decision. People need to learn to move on with their lives and stop searching for answers in the past.

[MY TOP PICKS] GHOSTLY KISSES

Sometimes you find a song on the dark side of Youtube and fall in love with it. Youtube’s recommendations are usually pretty accurate since it suggests songs that sound like your favorite bands.

Last week I stumbled across the band Ghostly Kisses and I fell in love with their style and visuals. They are an electro/pop group consisting of Margaux Sauvé and Dragos Chiriac. Margaux is the voice, composer and violin player while Dragos is in charge of the musical arrangements mixing and mastering. Together they work together to create haunting songs that can be felt through the speakers.

Check out their best song, “Empty Note” here:

In the song she sings:

“How could I ever know you?
When everything lies in disguise
How could I ever forget?
Those eyes looking for my weal

How could I ever know more?
When everything is held by threat
How could I ever feel you?
Once again, without losing my mind”

Her voice is powerful and sorrowful as she sings about a love that deceived her. Unlike other heartbreak songs, one can truly feel how lost she is. In the music video, she stands in an empty parking lot and a grocery store doing mundane tasks by herself. It correlates to the way the song is delivered since she seems to be in a dissociated state of being trapped in her own thoughts. It seems that being alone is therapeutic for her. The way the camera spins at the end tastefully depicts the world wind that she is experiencing.

Overall not only is it a great song, the music video does a great job at carrying the theme of the song. This video only has 64,000 views at the moment but I expect it to climb in the next few months. You heard it here first folks.

[KANYE WEST] RUNAWAY IS STILL GETTING REMIXED

During the Superbowl, there were some worthy commercials that caught our eye. One of them included a new trailer for Season 2 of HBO’s Westworld.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=65&v=qUmfriZoMw0

Even though I have no idea what Westworld is, I did notice something about the background music. My ears shot up and were sent back to 2010 to Kanye West’s release of “Runaway.” Not only was this song one of his most emotional releases, it was also phenomenally produced. 

Runaway makes you feel a longing for yesterday which produces intense emotions of disconnected sadness. It is a tribute to all the “assholes” who only have a hard exterior to cover up the insecurities they have within them. Taking that concept and putting it into a song perfectly showed Kanye’s talent as an artist. So much so that it is still getting remixed eight years later. 

The version in the Westworld trailer was created by the show’s composer Ramin Djawadi as the request of co-creator Jonathan Nolan.

Djawadi stated,

“I had a lot of fun working on reimagining the song. It is always tricky to reduce a song with multiple layers in to a single instrument, I’m a fan of Kayne’s music. It would be fun to cover ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing.'”

He really made the song much more stripped down. It sounds like a true classical piece. Overall this cover reminded me of one of the best song’s Kanye has ever put out and I will always love hearing news like this.

Listen to the full version of Djawadi’s “Runaway” here:

[DRAKE] GOD’S PLAN ISN’T THAT GOOD

Drake just dropped his latest single, “God’s Plan” on January 19th, 2018 and it’s getting a lot of attention. The Official Charts Company records streams of 7.1 million for this track, in the chart week ending Thursday (Feb. 8) at midnight.

Listen to it here:

The song is playing at almost every party there is and it’s taking over the radio. A new Drake song is here, which means it’s going to stay for a long time. This track is extremely popular, but why? Drake’s track “God’s Plan” sounds like every song he has ever put out. The only lyric that is notable in this song is, “She say, “Do you love me?” I tell her, “Only partly”, I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry.”

This lyric is fun to sing, but it shouldn’t be the only good one on the track. Besides that, it feels like I’m listening to his song, “Hotline Bling” and a combination of  the “Best I Ever Had.” He loves to throw relatable lyrics in his songs like in the “Best I Ever Had”,”Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin’ with no make-up on, That’s when you’re the prettiest, I hope that you don’t take it wrong.”

Drake is known for writing heartbreak songs but just recently he seems to be getting over it. The attitude he brings to “Hotline Bling” shows his growth as a person and an artist. His release in 2017 More Life was a groundbreaking title that showed his fans that he no longer suffered from depression. It is a start of a new era, but what does “God’s Plan” bring to the table? Absolutely nothing.

Yes, it is a good song, but that is just because it’s a recycled version of all his songs that have worked. I see no originality in this song and it shows that Drake is starting to become repetitive.

Sources say that they have also felt bit different about a new Drake release.

Lawrence Burney, a writer for Noisey states,

Part of being even a casual Drake fan is to accept the fact that a lot of the music you’re gonna hear from him will sound very similar. There’s nothing wrong with this on the surface. Any Migos project runs the risk of having songs blend into each other so seamlessly that you forget they are separate tracks. But when it comes to Drake, it’s a bit more frustrating and uninspiring because he’s shown his depth on so many occasions that when he half-asses things, it’s much easier to detect. Scary Hours feels like Drake thinks he needs to be a part of the conversation right now. But he doesn’t. At all. That was actually one of the more exciting things about More Life— that he promised to take a break. To go live life and return to us once he’d stored up enough thoughts and emotions that he couldn’t hold in anymore. Like you said Eric, these feel hollow as hell. “God’s Plan” is a bop because the energetic Drake who talks about being destined for greatness has a certain level of spirit and gumption to it.

Drake has to release a new sound or people will get tired of him. This song might be the beginning of the end. We want someone who is going to evolve, not take the same path over and over again. More Life showed signs of change, but this seems more like a change-up.
