Maroon 5 "V" Review

Let me first start out by saying that I love Maroon 5's music, and that they are my favorite band. This is Maroon 5's 5th album and so far it is doing really well. This album really emphasizes how good Adam Levine's (the main singers) falsetto is and different ways he can use his voice. I personally enjoy the song's "New Love", "Feelings", "Unkiss me", and "My Heart Is Open." Both "New Love" and "Feelings" really show how good Adam's falsetto is, and how talented he is. In my opinion this album is way better then the band's last album "Overexposed." It focused more on the electronics rather then his voice, which I didn't like.




The song "Lost Stars" by just Adam Levine has amazing lyrics, and sorta reminds me of the band's older sound they used in their previous albums. I have to admit Maroon 5's album "Songs About Jane" is pure genius, but I think its good that they are trying out new sounds and doing what they love which is making music. I will probably always love Maroon 5 because of the meaning behind their lyrics, and the unique quality of their music. Overall I would say this is a great album, not like "Songs About Jane", but still pretty good. I recommend it to anyone who really likes music with creative lyrics, and amazing vocals.

Ariana Grande CD "My Everything" Review

Earlier this week I bought the CD “My Everything” by Ariana Grande. This is her 2^nd album she has recorded and in my opinion is way better than her first. It became the number #1 album on iTunes in the first 2 minutes it was released, and is still number #1 now. I think the best songs that are on the album are, “Break Your Heart Right Back", "Love Me Harder", "One Last Time", and "Be My Baby.” All of these songs really capture her voice quality, and the lyrics are really well written. 

In the song “Only 1,” she does some really difficult runs, which really shows her voice quality.  The other thing I really like is how the background beats don’t over power her voice, like most songs do today. I recommend this album to anyone looking for new music to listen to, or really likes a singer with truly a great voice.
