Taylor Swift



Taylor Swift!! Born on this very day, the 13th of December has made the eyes of millions of guys literally pop out with her cute looks along with her fantastic taste over music. The transition from the 2008 hit country song “Love Story” to her latest poppy track “Blank Space” makes me wonder what she has in store for us in the years to come. Born in Pennsylvania, U.S, Taylor Swift isn’t just an amazing singer with an extremely soothing voice but also a song-writer, actress and a philanthropist who can play the guitar, piano and ukulele.

At the age of 14 she moved to Tennessee to pursue her career in country music. As soon as she entered the world of music she began creating records after records, in 2006 she released her self titled debut studio album where in the track “Our Song” made her the youngest person to write and perform a no.1 country song. “Fearless” became the best selling album in 2009 furthermore she also became the youngest winner for “Album of the year” Grammy. Her follow-up albums “Speak now”, “Red” and “1989” made Swift the first and only singer to have 3 albums sell more than a million copies in the first week.

Just within a span of 8 years, she has won 7 Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards and has sold over 30 million albums. In addition to her music career she has also acted in the comedy film “Valentines Day (2010) and “The Giver (2014)”. Along with this she has also towards numerous charities for child literacy, natural disaster relief and also supports LGBT anti-discrimination efforts. She is one of the very few musicians who have achieved so much in such a short span of time. Truly Hats off!!

My top 10 suggestions for this week are:- Cheers!!

Ø  David Guetta Feat. Afrojack and Nicki Minaj – Hey Mama(Pop)
It has the pitched up dutch electro sound you expect from Afrojack along with the auto-tuned vocals of Nicki Minaj which should make this another hit.


Ø  One Direction -  Stockholm Syndrome (Pop)
This synth- pop song is wickedly catchy and the amazing sounds of the instruments complement the guys’ voices very well.


Ø  Tiesto - Light years away (Tiesto & Moti Remix) (House)
The duo breaks down the melody filled progressive house single and builds it back up as a certified electro house heater.


Ø  Echosmith - Cool kids(Pop)
This amazing song is from the debut studio album of the American Indi-pop band Echosmith, has reached no. 13 on the billboard charts.


Ø  Cash Cash - Surrender (Stadiumx Remix) (House)
Among the many remixes this one has a more ethereal take on this smash hit by the progressive house Hungarian duo.


Ø  Coldplay – Miracles (Pop)
With a sweetly strummed guitar, a twinkling piano and a lot of snapping, this song is the original soundtrack for the upcoming Angelina Jolie film “Unbroken”.


Ø  Brad Paisley – Perfect Storm(Country)
This is a mid-tempo country power ballad, complete with Paisley’s signature twangy leads from his upcoming album “Moonshine in the Trunk”.


Ø  Eva Shaw - Space Jungle (Showtek Edit)(House)
The Dutch super duo released their take on Canadian born Eva Show’s new track “Space Jungle”. It has an incredibly energetic vibe that incorporates the sound organic instruments.

                                  
Ø  Calvin Harris feat. R3hab - Burnin (House)
It takes a swing at dirty Dutch, with a drop built around staccato synths and drum kicks that split double and triple-time over the bass.


Ø  Vance Joy – Riptide (Rock)
With this breakthrough act the Australian singer emerged as one of the top new artists. This song was also covered by none other then Taylor Swift.
