LISTEN: Dark Horse by Katy Perry

2013

Amidst the media’s attention with Britney Spears’ latest single, Katy Perry’s ain’t givin’ up the spotlight as her new single, Dark Horse is already available.

Dark Horse features rapper, Juicy J, and is listed as the 6^th track off of Perry’s new album, PRISM.

The 3 minute and 35 second track exhibits a slow jam, still on its darker feel than any songs from her Teenage Dream album.

Is it pop catchy? A bit.

Is it good? Not much on its first listen, but it is a grower.

For me, Dark Horse rates 3.5 out of 5.

Go ahead and check out Dark Horse:

LISTEN: Work B***h by Britney Spears

2013

The most anticipated single of the year is finally here. Britney Spears’ is back for a brand new era as her new single “Work Bitch” has been released. This is the first track from her upcoming 8^th album, which is yet to be titled.

Produced by will.i.am, and co-written by Spears herself, “Work Bitch” is a self-proclaimed club-banger hit. With every thump of the beat, it is undeniably something to groove on.

Undeniably a game changer in today’s EDM filled music charts, the new track features non-generic club bangin’ beats minus a signature catchy hook like what we usually hear whenever Britney’s releasing a new material or even any EDM-Pop track there is.

"Work Bitch" literally makes the whole Femme Fatale album, a mediocre and generic EDM-Pop album.

The single features Spears’ vocals, without the help of auto-tune, and even other background vocalists. It’s just pure Britney, working out.

Also, a British accent which she loves to play is heavily audible throughout the song.

Now, did will.i.am do a great job? I can say, yes.

Do I like it? Yes!

Do I love it? Not really.

Although for me, it’s a 3.7 out of 5.

Britney fans, however, seems to love it!

#BritneySpears Work Bitch is so addictive!!!!

COVERS: Ellie Goulding sings Mirrors

2013

So, I guess you already know by now that Justin Timberlake’s Mirrors bagged the major award in this year’s VMA’s. Well, honestly, I’m not really a fan of the song, HOWEVER, a fantastic cover might change me.

And someone did! Ellie Goulding covered JT’s smash, Mirrors, and I think it’s really AWESOME! Far better than Boyce Avenue & 5^th Harmony’s cover.

Check it out and tell me watcha think!
