Drummer Boy

     Justin Bieber came out with his first Christmas album "Under the Mistletoe". It was released on November 1, 2011 as his second studio album, Island records produced his album. The songs in his album are, "Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas", "Mistletoe", "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting  on an Open Fire)" Ft. Usher, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", "Fa La La" Ft. Boyz II Men, "All I Want for Christmas Is You (Super Festive)" Duet with Mariah Carey, "Drummer Boy" Ft. Busta Rhymes, "Christmas Eve", "All I Want Is You", "Home This Christmas" Ft. The Band Perry, and lastly "Silent Night". Justin Bieber showcases his rapping skills as well as his skills on playing the drums. This song lets you listen to Beiber's more matured voice although even though it came out about a year ago, when I hear this song it makes me think of the young Justin. Or at least before he came out with his album, "Believe".
     I think that this song is just a fun song to listen to during the holidays. It is an upbeat club version of the original yuletide standard, "The Little Drummer Boy". Justin Bieber also gives this song an edge with a verse like, "Yeah, I’m on the drum/ I'm on the snare drum/ Yeah, I'm on the beat/ 'Cause the beat goes dum/ I only spare heat 'cause I’m playing for the son/ Playing for king/ Playing for the title/ I'm surprised you didn’t hear it in the Bible." Also, Busta Rhymes adds to it with his lyrics being so practical. It really steps the song up a notch.

                                          50 Ways To Say Goodbye

     American pop rock band Train came out with "50 Ways to Say Goodbye" on June 11, 2012. It is recorded in their sixth studio album "California 37". "50 Ways to Say Goodbye" is classified as Pop rock, Latin pop, and folk rock. It has become the bands most successful second single release and peaked at number 20 on the Hot 100. The song was also certified gold by the RIAA on Sep. 20, 2012.
     I really enjoy this song because i'ts a funny, happy song that is just so easy to look at you. It utilizes electric guitars and includes a marachi band. It something most people can relate to but at the same time kepps the person intune and focosed on the song. It can also, turn a sad situation into something you can look back at and laugh. If you listen to this song you will most likely at least tap your foot.

Don't You Worry Child

     On September 14, 2012, Swedish came out with their new single. The song was called "Don't You Worry Child". It was released as digital download and is the single for Swedish House Mafia's last tour. It's genre is Progressive Rock. It received a Grammy Nomination for Best Dance Recording in the 2013 Grammy Awards. It also, made #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs Chart. The Song is VERY popular in Australia and also popular in Sweden, Scotland, and U.K.

     I'm very surprised that this song has become this popular in the United States. This song is based on Australia and It's beauty and how they will miss it because like I already said this is their last tour. I personally like the back track and I think that the chorus is in a way catchy. I guess other people like this song too and that's why it is getting to become very popular.

"A Team"

     Ed Sheeran came out with "The A Team" on June 12, 2011. It was released to digital download. The album that it is in is called "+". The genre of this song is Indie Folk and Soul. This song was actually written mostly when he had just gotten back from a gig at a homeless shelter at the age of 18.

     This song was origanally from the U.K. and is just starting to become popular in the U.S. You may have already heard it playing on radio stations. This is actually my best friends favorite song right now but I decided to blog about it because I feel like this is a very beautiful song and can also be very emotional to certain mature listeners. This song has two hidden meanings. The first one is kind of obvious. You just have to listen to the lyrics. The second meaning requires you to have the definition of "A Team".
