Oh Wonder - Drive

Band:  Oh Wonder
Song:  Drive
Album:  Oh Wonder (2015)
Genre:  Indie Pop, PBR&B

So this is a nifty little band I came across while at school the other day.  I was minding my own business just cutting up some hair when I decided to take a break and look at the video that was playing.  We had shuffled a playlist on YouTube of this band a few days before, so I was vaguely familiar with the song already.  I had noticed some weird stuff going down in the video though, hence taking time to watch it.

The music is fairly typical of the genre I feel, but that doesn't take away from like, their talent or anything.  These two are clearly very good at throwing these songs together.  It's a very smoothly produced piece.

Watch the video though, that's the best part of the song.

The Weeknd - False Alarm

Artist:  The Weeknd
Genre:  PBR&B

A really love this dude's voice.  And I'm really sorry that I've been late with posts this last week, I'm working on it.

There's 2 videos here because one warned about graphic content and violence, so there's an audio only one underneath the music video.  Enjoy!

The Weeknd - Starboy

Artist:  The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk
Genre:  R&B
Language:  Strong

I'm rather happy with the new songs that The Weeknd has put out so far.  False Alarm is a cool deviation from what I would have expected, but since I'm going for a more reaching post here I'm gonna post the more popular song for now.

Hey, instead of talking about this though we're gonna talk about the last week of October.

Got a 2 year tradition going of having it be the "Week Of Evil" and I don't plan on changing anything anytime soon.

Long story short I'm willing to take some suggestions for it.  I've got a couple days still open that I haven't planned for yet, so fire away either in the comment section or on Facebook.

Cool, catch ya.

The Weeknd - In The Night

Artist:  The Weeknd
Genre:  R&B, PBR&B
Theme:  Victim of child abuse living her life out as a stripper

Hey look, it's the man with the weird hair again!

So I always try to check Wiki for certain artists to make sure I get their genre right.  Usually I'm good, but when it comes to non Metal genres I get a little shaky.  Apparently PBR&B is a joke on Pabts Blue Ribbon and the hipsterness of it.  PBR&B is hipster R&B.  I don't know for sure about this, but It's what Wiki said and I suppose I can trust it for now.

This song is really good though don't be scared away by the subject.  It's musically a tribute to Michael Jackson and lyrically it's been speculated that it's a song about Marilyn Monroe.
