Simply Madelline's Top 10 "JAMMIN" Songs

We all have that excruciating boring times and you just wanna do something to kill the boredom away. One of these is playing music to dance your heart away! So, to spice up your life, maybe my top 10 "Jammin" songs could be added in your playlist?

10. Dance Monkey by Tones and I

With the unique vocals and super vibing beats, you just couldnt help and sway your body to the music. Also the piano instrumentals are pleasing to hear. Who knows? Dance Monkey will surely bring your inner dancing talent.

9. Love Talk (eng ver) by WayV

As soon as the C-pop group WayV released their english single entitled "Love Talk", i instantly fell in love with it! Its a mixture of 90's r&b and modern trap music. I love how the song is incorporated with two different music genres and come up with a slightly "sexy and smooth" vibe music. Its enough to move your hips and follow its rhythm.

8. Love by DEAN

(Don't mind the explicit cover 😂)

"Da da da da da da da da~" the first part of the lyrics will instantly make your head bop. With catchy beats will surely make you fall in love again and again and again! "I know! I know! I know!"

7. Say So by Doja Cat

(Don't mind the explicit cover 😂)

I gotta admit, I knew this song through tiktok. It became a viral sensation where people dance to this and making it really a good jammin song! The beats and rhythm makes my whole body move. Should I make a tiktok of it? (naaaaaaah i dont think so 😂)

6. Stangers in A Dream by Phum Viphurit

Urghhh! Alternative/Indie music? Just my type 😩👌. I love the sound of the electric guitar and bass that fills in my ears. The lyrics? PERFECTION! Phum is really a great artist! Im speechless! Go take a listen and you'll be the judge but Im warning you. Once you hear it, you'll jam with it!

5. Regular (eng ver) by NCT 127

And in comes my kpop fangirling mode! NCT 127's title track Regular can make you go "Dinero, peso, yen, lo quero I want it"! The latin, pop and dance vibes is enough to make me belt out the lyrics and dance around. "vvs my diamonds I don't need no light to shine!" It also brings out my classy rich self??? I don't know, thats just how I jam.

4. Up to you by PRETTYMUCH ft. NCT Dream

This song is super unique and cute! Its a mixture of english lyrics and korean but has a very cute message. Its all about a boy who is willing to do anything for the girl they like. This pop music makes you jump up and down and fall in love with sweet and sugary lyrics 💕

3. Umpah Umpah by Red Velvet

This cute and catchy kpop song by Red Velvet makes it on the third place! The electronic beats and captivating vocals can make you sing "Umpah! Umpah!"

2. Lover Boy by Phum Viphurit

Another indie music on the list!!!! The instrumentals get you on moving and grooving. The sweet lyrics is also a plus point! "Call me Lover boy~"

1. Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa

"Aren't you the guy who?" seems familiar? Yes! Its Dua Lipa's hit song "Don't Start Now"! This song can make dance series of movements but who cares? Its a good jamming song!

So this ends my blog! Comment down your thoughts about my playlist and might as well what blog content I should write next. Dont forget to follow me for more blog posts and press on the heart button for likes~

DREAM MACHINE or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Frequency

Some time ago, I had recently come across Matthew & Doris Melton and their music. After being immediately impressed and totally jammin’ to their very catchy songs (and totally awesome music videos) - I came across this particular video regarding Tuning Frequencies.

I have been somewhat aware of the importance of Frequency & how living beings are effected by Sound (due to other personal research in my life), however, this was the very first time I had ever seen people deliberately tuning their instruments for a purpose (other than playing in tune).

I highly encourage anyone who has yet to consider tuning to 432hz to consider it - I had already began my own efforts like months and months ago and I absolutely notice a difference in my guitar’s sound and tonal vibrations (100%). Of course, I didn’t adjust my tuning until AFTER I already began working on my current album, “MASS HYSTERIA!” and had already released a few songs (LOL).

Needless to say, my first album will have more than one type of tuning frequency in it, as my currently released songs are in the standard 440hz, although I think I may just leave it that way. I don’t mind having the variety (it’s such a GREAT reason to have more than one guitar available Hahaha), plus, one day I may totally just change it all to 432hz, so we’ll see what happens.

Dream Machine is AMAZING. Their sound is something very familiar, but totally new and exciting. “The Illusion” is a fantastic piece of work - and I think it’s even more charming & sweet that Matthew and his wife, Doris, are in the band together and they are phenomenal Independent Thinkers (they have posted some very well-thought & well-presented videos on their Youtube channel for anyone who isn’t familiar; taking on a lot of topics that most would shy away from/Brave & Bold opinions to say the least). They are a very powerful couple.

I admire these people and their work very much. Although I may not have the exact same opinion or life-experience or musical expression - I still think it is important for more and more people, just like Matthew & Doris, to truly explore the opportunities for Independent Thought as well as Independence as it stands in this modern-day America.

I don’t openly endorse anyone else’s ideology, however, I do very much enjoy listening to the opinions or life-ponderings of others who have something to say other than mindless, shallow, meaningless bullshit. I truly enjoy Matthew’s point-of-view on how a lot of musicians/bands/anyone relevant to the Music scene seem to have some type of “Death Cult” Mentality. It’s so true. 

I completely agreed with when he said that it seems like people look down on people (such as myself) who are musicians that simply want to be in a functional relationship, and have a healthy & happy family rather than wanting to look and feel “cool” all the time, focusing primarily on their image & ego (and pretty much having like a Nihilistic view on not only their own lives but possibly the greater whole - just for said person to feel like they’re “legit” or have some type of sick “street cred” or superiority for basically being unhappy & alone). Doris has a very excellent take on the hypocrisies of fellow immigrants, herself having come to America as an immigrant, and also her educational presentation on Slavery (Matthew & Doris are both astoundingly intelligent and I believe their hearts are sincere).

KiMMM! & I play music that is not commercially-accessible and it’s too unorthodox and too outrageously uncompromising in our expression for the mainstream. The average person who doesn’t necessarily have any point-of-reference other than the very typical (and boring might I add) Mainstream type of Band or Musician (I think it was the late Jimmy Lee Lindsey, Jr. who said “Why do the boring and typical 9-to-5 with Music?”) may only have the taste developed for the more polished and cookie-cutter kinda studio sound (Which usually sounds like Money took a Dump into a Computer and then a guy who is programmed by the latest Top 40 nonsense may or may not say “Hey, More Heavy on the BASS - that’s what Everyone Else is Doing” as I hurl in dismay).

It’s a shame that music, especially Rock Music (which is like the quintessential sound of Rebellion), has become Mind-Numbingly Family-Friendly. The more upsetting fact is that the majority of rock music that is celebrated with cult-like followings are like these really just negative, demonic-sounding SHIT that makes me wonder What The Fuck Happened to MUSIC. I’m like, uhhh, so when did Rock music get so SLOW and HEAVY (and also kinda Evil)? - I need my music hyper-active and electrifying - And why does everyone everywhere wear like all-black clothes? It’s like every single rock band, and if you have ever flipped through like a magazine or even just looking at videos online - everyone is like depressed, gloomy, angry, growling, or way too fashionable, and I’m like yeah dude I see why no one wants to listen to rock n’ roll anymore because I’m like uhhhhh...What happened???? All the best stuff is done by independent talent. This is why the music industry has been failing for well over a decade now. It’s all a Business with deadlines and suits to pay (or a guy in his favorite band’s tee wearing all black clothing of course).

With the passing of time, and the natural way of the world - More and more people, musicians, married couples, or Whatever - will continue to break the mold of expectations that has been seemingly sustained by Corporate interest (or flat-out Supply & Demand). The status quo of the music industry is (and will continue to be) dismantled and redefined by such underground/Independent/non-conforming acts such as Dream Machine (and a TON of other musicians out there who deserve more listeners & recognition).

I am a firm believer in supporting good music and good productions - Especially Independent Artists. I do run my own ship (so-to-speak), however, I believe that everyone deserves to set sail when it comes to life’s expression (and discovery). I have a sort of delinquent theory that EVERYONE in the entire world could find that one instrument that speaks to them (despite how obscure), and in my very flimsy theory - Everyone (YES Everyone) can have their own Band to express their story. I know it’s like a super-duper far-fetched theory, but like, I developed it when I was a teenager in my music program in high school. I believe there is an instrument for everyone, it’s just a matter of opportunity and circumstance to present itself to each said individual in the world. I truly believe it. I don’t enjoy hearing people say “I don’t have any musical talent” or “I can’t play anything, I’m not a musician” - In my humble opinion, these types of cannot-do attitudes are what allow such restrictions & limitations of the self (unless if someone is like no seriously I can’t because of whatever reason). 

I believe everyone has the gift of music in the heart & soul, and even if someone is musically unable to play an instrument - they could at least sing or hum along to join the song. As I’ve said before, the power of music is essential, it is fundamental - it does not require anything more than a soul that wants to sing (despite the tuning). Paying greater attention to such fine details as which frequency an instrument or band or album is in tune with may encourage the listener in  ways beyond our full understanding (especially since sounds can heal people).

Off of my soap-box (haha). Enjoy this video, and consider the possibilities. I encourage you.

DavidArchie’s Orion EP appreciation post!

So. This might come as a shock to some of you on this blog but I kinda like David Archuleta. I mean, I think I’ve posted about him here a time or two... 

WELL. He has just released his first collection of new music in 5 million years and it’s freaking brilliant and I wanna talk about it. Gird your loins.

There are only 4 songs on this EP but there are 2 more EPs planned to be released this year. So I won’t get too salty about only having 4 songs to rave over right now. But really my people -- it’s the quality not the quantity 😉

Numb - watch the video here

This song was released as a single last year so it feels kind of weird to be talking about it as part of a new EP but it honestly deserves all the love. Going through and listening again and I’m still blown away. This song has my favorite overall lyrics that David has ever written. There is so much meat on these bones you guys. Random favorite lines in no particular order:

~I think I’ll take a second chance, I won’t be passing by the waters again.~  ~I wanna feel redemption’s hand.~  ~Everybody needs time away, to wake up with the sun on their face.~  ~Love this life only for what it is.~  ~I hear the whispers in the stars.~  ~It hurts to live so wide awake but it’s a chance I can take.~  ~Falling over all of my shadows.~  ~Open soul in an open sky.~  ~I don’t wanna feel numb.~ 

Like. At this point I should just write out the lyrics of the entire song. IT’S JUST THAT GOOD. This song is about David’s struggle to find himself and get his motivation back for making music. About coming from a lost place and being unwilling to remain lost. It has such a strong beat and an intensity that matches the words. I love it. 

Invincible - listen to the song on yt

BRAND. NEW. SONG. I posted the lyrics here a couple weeks ago so you already know how I feel about that. This is the song that I was most uncertain about before the EP came out; it’s also the one we knew the least about. You guys. Super surprise: I love it. The beat, the tempo, the catchiness is like woah you didn’t think you were gonna jam didja?? And yet here you are, JAMMIN. Omg I can’t stop smiling while listening. I started a war, I sent out the battle cry. Fighting me, myself, & I. David. Why do you sing the lyrics to my heart. Take a breath, look at how you’re trying to think it to death. YES DAVID YES. You guys. David Archuleta is the gift that we don’t deserve. He’s just so good. This song. You need it. Go listen. I promise you need it. Don’t forget that you don’t have to be invincible. There’s even some kinda child choir or something busting out in there omg unicorns and purple hearts are actually flying out of my eyes. I’m done. I. LOVE. IT.

Say Me - listen to the song on yt

This song just about put me 6 feet under the first time I heard it. David premiered it live for the first time anywhere at Tuacahn last November and I cried strongly. He talked about how the song is about being willing to say ME, to value yourself and your own voice. Have we talked about how we don’t deserve David Archuleta? I mean.

Everyone ...sees the rust when I see shine, you need someone to take your side, say me

That right there. Possibly my favorite single lyric ever. Everyone sees the rust when I see shine. I get teary just typing it out. Y’all. This song is so impossibly beautiful. A ballad, real-ass strings up in here like so dramatic. Omg. This boy’s voice. His heart. The sooner we start this life living as we’re loved. Freaking heart eyes all over the world tonight.

I cried listening to this studio version the first time. That very rarely happens. I’m a big live music crier; not much of a recorded music crier. But this one got me. So moving. Bless this boy.

Up All Night - watch the video

A joyous end to this gorgeous EP. Honestly I feel like Numb and Up All Night are perfect bookends to this collection because they’re like a continuation of each other, describing a time in David’s life when he was working to find his voice. And did he ever. The danciness of this song is insane, it’s so upbeat and celebratory!! Nowhere else that I’d rather be, no greater gift than what you’ve given me. Listen to that tone, my lord. This guy’s voice. Our ears are blessed. I can feel David’s joy in finding a place to belong, a feeling of inclusion, of home. It is a thing of such beauty. And it’s just a fun song!! I’m blown away with all these feelings inside <3

And as long as we’re here talking about Up All Night I just want to say how completely in love I am with the video. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it sure wasn’t what we got. Joyous is right because David Freaking Archuleta is dancing. D.A.N.C.I.N.G. Like. Busting a move type dancing. What universe is this? And the message of the video is such a lovely representation of who David is a person. People invited him in and helped him find the way to himself (irl) and so he wants to help others find themselves. The message of inclusion and diversity and just caring about each other because we are all connected is so freaking sincere and GOOD. You guys. What did we do to deserve David Archuleta. That’s our lifetime motto now. What did we do to deserve David Archuleta.

Final thoughts

Overall, this EP is so gorgeous and worth your time to listen to. David has a voice and message that is so needed. To see where he was at 17 years old on American Idol and then see who he is now at 26 years old...I am thankful that he continues to share that with us. To share his struggles and vulnerabilities and his joy and hope. I am verklempt. All the praise hands in the universe ALLLLL OF THEM (JUST IMAGINE ALL OF THEM HERE NOW BUT I’M JUST GONNA PUT ONE BUT REALLY IT’S ALL OF THEM ONE IS ALL THAT’S OUR MESSAGE DON’T FORGET) 🙌

You can buy Orion at iTunes or Amazon or stream it on Spotify!! Do it.

Thanks for reading my feelings!! I love you all ❤️

Song Recommendation | R3hab X f(Amber + Luna) | Wave

“Wave” is a hype EDM song  with a jammin’ chorus- incorporating EDM sounds mostly heard in the genre- pounding beats, pulsing synths- and the addition of catchy Korean melodies, along with the voices of Luna and Amber of f(x). 

I absolutely love Amber and Luna’s voices in this track. I will never get enough of Amber’s voice- she has an interesting timbre that’s always refreshing to hear (especially in the beginning of the song). Luna’s voice just really completes the harmony- i mean HEAR the power in her voice in the pre-chorus- AMAZING. 

I have to admit, my favourite parts of the song are the verses and pre-choruses. Since this song is very EDM, the chorus sounds a bit generic (which can’t be helped since the genre is very much like this), but good nonetheless. I love love love f(Amber + Luna)’s vocals- lol, but my only “complaint” would be that those harmony in 4ths could have had more variation// they could have changed the harmony between Amber and Luna’s voices to make it even MORE interesting. haha, but then again- that’s just my own preference- the song is still very good though. Fun to listen to.

English Translation:

The twinkling Flashlight flashlight flashlight Like the stars in the night ocean sky, don’t stop now I hear the sound of the waves This moment washes over like a fantasy Open your heart wide, feel the wind, hold your breath Surpass imagination, to the night sky where the drops of water go

The waves crash down on the electrifying beat The spectrum spreads with the water This night invites you to the ocean of rhythm Come on baby, everyone ride the wave Come on baby, everyone ride the wave Come on baby, everyone ride the wave

The Paradise paradise paradise you’ve dreamed of This unforgettable night, I love it Throw your body all you want Jump higher without holding back

Drunk with the melody, dance and have fun, forget everything You can go past this space and go far away, I just wanna go

The waves crash down on the electrifying beat The spectrum spreads with the shouts Ready to have fun all night Come on baby, everyone ride the wave Ride the wave Come on baby, everyone ride the wave

The waves crash down on the electrifying beat The spectrum spreads with the water This night invites you to the ocean of rhythm Come on baby, everyone ride the wave

Jeronimo - Cosmic Blues (1970) Germany

(Blues/Hard/Psych Rock)

Jeronimo was a straight hard rock group that even enjoyed a bit of chart success in their time with "Heya" coupled with "So Nice To Know". By then they had already been together since the mid-sixties. 

Jeronimo's first appearance on album was on the strange split LP with Creedence Clearwater Revival: Spiritus Orgaszmus, with an "orgasm cover", poster and pink vinyl. All six Jeronimo songs were featured on their subsequent album for Cosmic Blues. This was hardly cosmic blues, but a confusing collection of their three first singles and six other tracks that presumably were recorded as potential singles in 1969, presenting soul-beat pop, rock 'n' roll, pop, folk-rock and vintage hard-rock. 

The trio of Marz, Schafer and Funk were pictured on the cover, which contained very little information. Soon after, Rainer Marz quit and was replaced by Michael Koch. The trio of Schafer, Koch and Funk went on to record what since has become one of the most hunted German albums among collectors: the self-titled Jeronimo with the "Indian cover", in many respects their first album. Trio had some success with the album and after releasing their third album, disbanded. 

Now y’all know the history, let’s get started on this album. The album begins with a track called News. A heavy psych tune. I’m not really a big fan of the vocals in this one. The instruments on the other hand, especially the guitar, is pretty bitchin’. Next is The Key. This is a favourite of mine. The fucking piano and the fucking guitar... it’s all so combined beautifully. The vocals are much better in this one. “...Where is the key to be just like me?...” Following is Hands. It’s a catchy tune with the help of everyone singing “HANDS!” So Nice To Know is another favourite of mine. I’m diggin’ the piano so much. I love how it starts off slow and then in the middle of this tune, it gets more faster for 30 seconds and then resumes back to the slow tempo. Ah this tune just rocks and the piano really makes it more better! A cover of pop tune Na Na Hey Hey is meh. I don’t like it at all and I just skipped it. Let The Sunshine In is another pop cover. A cover of pop tunes on a hard rock album just ruins it. I skipped this one too. It’s just awful. Heavy psych tune Highjack makes up for the last two shitty songs. A tune to definitely make you wanna bob your head and rock out. Number 5 starts off with Funk jammin’ on the drums for the first 8 seconds then the rest of the guys start playing their instruments. You may think the tune would be heavier with the drums in the beginning but it’s more mellow and laid back. The beat is very catchy! No No No reminds me a bit of Grand Funk. I dig it, especially the drums. It’s so vibrant. “...No no no no no no no no no no I don’t need you...” If you do not like hearing a lot of ‘no’s, this song isn’t for you. Never Goin’ Back is also a favourite! It was actually one of the first songs I heard by them and I instantly fell in love. So catchy, so groovy. The guitar riff/solo is just incredible. The Light Life Needs includes a very cheerful piano. I’m in love with the piano playing on this album. The album ends with Heya. Okay, I actually wasn’t a fan of this song at first but the more I listened to it, I grew on it. The ‘heya heya heya’ is unforgettable. 

Overall, it’s a very nice bluesy psychedelic hard rock album. They remind me a little bit of Blue Cheer and Grand Funk (funny because they were also a trio) The album had some really groovy tunes and I do recommend checking it out if you dig hard rock. The piano playing on this album is just so amazing and it mixes so well with the guitar and vocals. 

*Bolded are my favourites off the album.*

1. News  2. The Key 3. Hands 4. So Nice to Know  5. Na Na Hey Hey  6. Let the Sunshine In  7. Highjack  8. Number 5  9. No No No  10. Never Goin' Back  11. The Light Life Needs  12. Heya

jamzzz (the not-so-mini edition)

tagged by @blotthis TWICE! TWO WHOLE TIMES!!!!!!!!!! PUBLICLY OUTED BY THEM AS SOMEONE WHO STARTS MEMES BUT DOESN’T FINISH THEM. i tag anyone who wants to do it bc these are definitely fun to read.

----

🎶 blessings (reprise) by chance the rapper

stop what ur fuckin doing and go listen to coloring book. it’s such a good album and i just!!!!!!!!!!!! there are actually two songs called blessings, but this is the one that’s the last song on that album. and it’s just... very comforting and it makes my whole body fill with positivity, and it just... it makes me want to be kind to myself.

this is the weirdest description of a song, but i feel like... i’m being comforted by parents who love me. the soft music and the gospel choir vibes remind me of my mom humming songs to me when i was younger. i feel like my hair is being gently stroked as i fall asleep. i feel like i’m being gently kissed on the temple. meanwhile CHANCE. i feel like he’s giving me a pep talk. i feel like i’m getting comforting words of wisdom from my dad. IT JUST FEELS SO NICE like if a song could hug you and tell you you’re safe and encourage you to keep going.

ps. chance’s singing voice makes me feel like i’m drifting through clouds.

p.p.s. the part where you hear him chuckle during “i used to pass out music, i still pass out music” kill me

🎶 sleepover by hayley kiyoko

firstable, this mv made me gayer than i’ve ever gayed before. secondly, the part where she’s singing “c’mon let’s sleep in my bed (my bed my beeeeed), can i just be in my head with youuu” and she’s harmonizing on the “you” I DK I JUST REALLY LOVE THIS PART and when it comes on in the car i’m always singing the background vocals. speaking of background vocals: when you hear her just saying the “my head my head my head my head” softly in the bg it’s like... MAN idk but i feel like this whole song perfectly encapsulates being alone with your thoughts wrt unrequited love. it’s like one giant echo of all the possibilities of being together that could happen, but don’t. which, to me, is what it feels like to be in your own head. but at least this song is upbeat and catchy

🎶 never got away by colbie caillat

i feel like i should preface all songs with this, but i open at a coffee shop and the first 30 mins to an hour of me being at work can sometimes feel very... 3am feelies. and sometimes on the car ride there or when i’m setting up the pastry case and trying to Wake Up & Be A Person, i will hear a song playing in cafe and it gets me semi-emotional. it’s like my body still thinks this is the middle of the night, even tho it’s actually my morning.

BUT ANYWAYS, I DIGRESS. the first thing i could even hear when this song played was the chorus. the opening verse was too soft to hear across cafe, but the chorus picked up and i just...even without knowing the words it sounded gentle the way soft acoustic songs do, but the vocals have that... desperate pleading sound?? and i mean that as a compliment. idk how to describe it, but when i walked over to the lil speaker and heard the chorus for real on the second run through, i literally felt my heart clench. this song makes me hurt the way sheryl crow’s “favorite mistake” does, but like.............. in a better way.

i love this song when i first heard it, but i don’t think i actually looked up the translated lyrics until like... months later. i just remember really liking all the dips in the song. it reminds me of story telling. which is hard to explain but-- you know what, i just realized why. okay BEAR WITH ME. so the music reminds me of a horse trot, which reminds me of travelling, right? which........... don’t judge me but THAT reminds me of the singing travelers from that a:tla episode with the badgermoles and star-crossed lovers that met in the tunnel. so anyways there’s ur six degrees of separation from STORYTELLING lmao.

listen to this song and tell me you’re not doing all the “aahhhhhhh ahhhh ohhh ohhhh-- OOooOOooOOoo [DRAMATIC PAUSE].” anyways, lyric meaning aside, i’ve never felt more like a lone lesbian on a horse in the desert than i do while listneing to this.

🎶 love$ick ft. a$ap rocky by mura masa

this is a really good car song! i mean, it’s good for any occasion, but specifically i feel like the song is in its element when it’s blasting from my car on a sunny day while i’m speeding out of the parking lot at work. i actually haven’t listened to a lot of mura masa songs, but the ones i have always remind me of summer. is it bc of the steel pan drumming??????? maybe. probably.

the lyrics are also fun to sing along to. WHICH I FEEL IS A SUMMER SONG REQUIREMENT. quesiton 1: can the song lyrics be sung to loudly and dramatically? if yes, continue to question 2. if not, then ur song ain’t a summer jam. it’s got VOICE DISTORTION (but you actin young WHEN U HELLA GROWN). it’s got the “visit italia, be my senorita” line which honestly i’m stealing for the next girl who dates me. DEBIT CHARGE, KERMIT THE DROG, MARGARITAS????????????????????????? but he should see the way she dance on me, wishin i ain’t have no pants on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

bonus fact: this song and the Another Round podcast have forced me to consonantly make airhorn noises whit my mouth at all times.

here are some honorable mentions of songs i;ve recently put on repeat and now have 9,230,842,930 plays each in my library:

redbone by childish gambino -- a good song to sensually dance to

faded by julian mae (2on by tinashe remix) -- hip and up beat and great to listen to when you feel like mindlessly jammin

t-shirt by migos -- hoenstly one of my co workers got this stuck in my head and now i just like it

diamond by f(x) -- a song i personally slept on when i first listned to 4 walls. traveler is still my #1 but this is definitely a close #2

hard times by paramore -- i can’t beleive i still live inside paramore’s ass and i can’t beleive i was hype for this song after half a listen

get out of my house by hyunA -- shout out to my favorite highkey dumpling blogger for turning me onto this song in the first place. IT’S SO GOOD, even if it is mellow and sad

girlfriend by n*sync - #THROWBACK bc i still love listening to nsync and also if this song ain’t so gd #relateable then idk what is

you & me by marc e. bassy -- the video is not worth paying attention to but the song is fun to sing and makes my petty side a lil bit happy

C93 Hype #2 - Confetti-Box (and Confesta!)

HOLD ON HOLD ON. We got TWO big announcements from nanahira. That’s right, BIG announcements. Heck, I was only waiting for ANNOUNCEMENTS. Presenting nanahira’s BEST album...

nanahira - Confetti-Box

You read that right. BEST album. The SEVENth album from the legendary denpa star nanahira is finally here.

The only teaser of this that we’ve ever gotten was nanahira’s current header in her Twitter account. This is something I didn’t really expect because let me tell you: this is a HUGE release. See for yourself.

If you didn’t quite catch what any of that meant, Confetti-Box is supposed to be the BEST of Confetto album. We’ve got releases of select old songs unmodified, while some songs come with new vocal recordings, some new re-titled remixes, and even a little long version of a certain song... There’s two discs with 15 songs each, totaling at a whopping 30 songs - the most in any nanahira album so far! (also comes in a nifty sleeve case)

There’s so many things to list down about this album. It’s full of oldies but goodies, and it’s perfect for nanahira’s upcoming 10th year in the denpa business! Speaking of which... to celebrate the release of this album as well as this 10th year of denpa, nanahira has also announced her own oneman event - Confesta! This is more than just some live event. You an check out the details of that in the official website - but for now, we’ll focus more on this album. By the way, it'll release on Day 1 of C93, December 29, in nanahira's Confetto circle which you can find at Block あ-75b, at the price of ¥2,000.
