There are waaaay too tooo many great songs that I can post or more appropriately remember but I am going to post the ones that I could have played all day non stop and STILL not get sick of it. This year has been the year of "creative familiarity" as I like to call it. So many different genres of music and new sounds followed by a unleash of familiar songs following suit. The cementing of the Hipster has come with everyone trying to be "cool" and "unique" by everyone doing something different but end up being the same as they are all trying to be different... whether in clothes, film or music by doing 'alternative songs' and countless music blogs... just like this one LOLz well, more advanced. The pop music formula changing from pop being RnB (Rudeboy last year) to it now being bright dance music mixed in with a lil Rap and RnB (Beautiful People, David Guetta or Pitbull) and it JLO case Reggae (into you) and Reggaeton.
This year has been THE year or Rihanna, Pitbull, Adele and the Minaj not forgetting the Tumblr love for Drake's Take Care and The Weeknd. The explosion of the the lifestyle called "Odd Future" you might have heard of them?.. The 101 remixes of 'Otis' coming out.
In the UK, its been quite something. OF course Dancehall and Bashment is still MASSIVE. The uprising of Afrobeats in raves has sprung. More grime artists moving into the hipster limelight i.e. the massive Sneakbo- show me the wave.
Let's not even start with the invasion of DUBSTEP - once a little underground thing in the house parties of its origins in Croydon has now become a WORLD WIDE phenomenomhihgrgfgg <-- or however you spell it as a regular cameo on Pop songs with Dubstep artists such as Benga and the rest of the Magnetic Man dem and Chase and Status and Nero reaching global status and becoming part of the mainstream top 40 and demanded by superstars like Rihanna, Britney Spears and Snoop. Romanian dance music still had its fame with hits like Mr. Saxobeat.
Deaths had rocked the music industry and music lovers as the ever so talented Amy Winehouse and Heavy D, Gil Scott Heron died may they R.I.P plus many more.
Mega hits included: On the Floor, Party Rock Anthem, California Gurls, Firework, I'm into you, Super Bass etc.
There is a lot more I cna talk about but those are the main pointers if I missed anything... you know where the comments are or tell me on my twitter @babycokes
Well, 2011- you've been alright ya know B)
