<~Song Of The Week~>

This is the 1st entry in my new "Song Of The Week" series and I'll be critiquing new tracks that I've heard and how I feel about it. By me working in radio, I believe I have some type of expertise in this area...

I have 2 songs this week and the 1st is "Sweet Life" by Frank Ocean from his debut album "channelORANGE". "Sweet Life" describes the struggles or lack thereof of a fortunate individual. The hook is extremely catchy and the song is easily addictive. Frank Ocean is an awesome artist and is making R&B look easy!! My favorite lyric is:

"You've had a landscaper and a housekeeper, since you were born.. the sunshine always kept you warm. So why see the world, when you've got the beach..."

I recommend you take a listen to the song here

The 2nd song of the day is "Bliss" by John Legend & Teyana Taylor. "Bliss" is from the G.O.O.D. Music compilation, "Cruel Summer". The first thing that comes out of everybody's mouth is "Teyana Taylor can sing????". I said the same thing but she actually holds her own vocally with my favorite singer, John Legend. Its just has that sound that you fall in love with the 1st time you hear it... You can listen to it here.

Well this is the beginning of "Song Of The Week"!!! So if you have any suggestions, Email or Tweet me.
