The Songs From 'The Letter' Are Pretty Damn Good!
I'm not gonna lie: this game has broken my heart, disturbed my sleep and emotionally wrecked me. At the same time, it made me fall in love with their characters and make me feel like part of the Luxbourne gang. I've started playing the game last month, and since then, I've already written several pieces of fanfiction and a few articles about the game already. I briefly mentioned in a review that I loved the music in the game. A lot of video game music always struck a chord with me because it's made specifically for that game; it's more personal and easy to relate to.

Analysis of Kendrick Lamar's "DNA"
Kendrick Lamar’s song and music video, “DNA”, is intriguing, powerful, and incredibly unique. He started his rap career under the stage name, “K-Dot” in 2004 at the ripe age of 16. He eventually gained a major following and popularity in the year 2010 when he retailed his albums “Overly Dedicated” and “Section.80”. He has had more than a couple top charts and his fame continues to grow today. His most recent and arguably most controversial album, “DAMN”, was released earlier in 2017. He has several tracks confronting the issues that the African American race faces in the world we live in today including police brutality and discrimination in general. The track, “DNA”, is one of them. Kendrick Lamar uses his following to spread the message that African Americans must stay loyal to each other in order to survive in this world we live in. Through the examination of the lyrics in the song during the interrogation and the two main characters, the interrogator and Kendrick Lamar, it will become obvious that “DNA” is not only powerful, but it is simply terrific.

Why You MUST Listen to this Ed Sheeran Song
The brilliance of Ed Sheeran in creating his latest album, Divide, makes us mortals remember the sheer happiness of love, the flashbacks of our break-ups, and in one occasion, makes us want to drink sangria (listen to "Barcelona").

Africa by Toto: the Song That Will Never Die
Over time, the 1980s have become not just a decade of time, but a genre of music. Likely, when you hear the phrase "80s music," you can almost immediately hear a variety of songs playing in the back of your mind. Maybe you think of Michael Jackson or Madonna, or you could be hearing a Bon Jovi or Journey power ballad. Regardless of your opinion on the music you associate with the 80s (because let's face it, some of these are pretty painful), they are undoubtedly synonymous with the time period.

The Best Logic Songs
Logic is easily one of the most underrated artists in the rap game. Despite having all of the perks — the cult-like following, sold out tours, killer lyricism, two albums that went gold and another that went platinum — it still feels like he’s an underdog.

The Gate - Björk. Top Story - September 2017.
The Icelandic songstress is back with a light fluffy persona and a brand new song called The Gate. Her new album Utopia is scheduled to be released in November. Am I excited? You bet I am. Björk is one of the most innovative and artistic singers around and has been fusing the lines of abstract art and music since before I was born.

Luck Be A Lady - Seal
Seal has always been one of my favourite male vocalists. I had the pleasure of seeing him live at The Symphony Hall in Birmingham last year, and I thought he was fantastic. His voice sounded a lot better live than it did in the recording studio and he was full of charisma. I loved how he was talking to the audience and telling them to get involved. It was a wonderful experience and I was truly sad that we had to leave and go back to the hotel after the concert was over. He was a true gentleman and I hope to see him live again soon!

Music Review: 'Jump' by Cythia Erivo
It’s awards season in Hollywood and with that I am being inundated with potential nominees across the spectrum. As a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association, I have a lot of things to wade through this year and that includes nominees in our original music categories. Today, I received a copy of an original single from the recently released documentary Step. The song is called "Jump" and it was written and produced by music legend Raphael Saddiq and co-written by Taura Stinson and Laura Karpman and sung by Cynthia Erivo.

Imagine
The song entitled "Imagine" explores the concept of going beyond previous limitations and past experiences. The presence of beliefs that are limited in nature or narrow perspectives are drawn closer to the light. Such a concept is applicable to all areas of life, including relationships, romance, career, education, personal development, finance, and more.
