Masterful Comeback

I remember reading an article by Santigold on vision a couple of days ago. Santigold described how...

“We can decide what we see for ourselves and for our world, and make our vision a reality.”
 Santigold is who she is:  she doesn’t sway her artistic vision under the waves of pop music.
You will fall in love with this World as the songs of nature are soothing with fresh beats
and deep lyrics. The love beats combine well with the intriguing green elements.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry

Katy Perry, born as Katy Hudson in 1984 in the month of October, used to be a Christian singer who decided to concentrate on pop and rock music combined, with her influences being: Lilly Allen, Alanis Morissette, and Avril Lavigne. It was just last year (2008) when Perry became prominent in the music scene.

  Raised in California, in the town of Santa Barbara, Perry lived in a Christian household, given that her parents are both pastors. Even though Perry was prohibited to music aside from Christian songs, Freddie Mercury's and Alanis Morissette's hits caught her attention during a slumber party she attended with her friends

Christian music, however, remained as her main focus. In fact, in 2001, Perry came up with her self-titled album: "Katy Hudson" composed of Christian tracks. Eventually, however, she decided to move away from that genre as well as her real surname in order for her to pursue a career in pop music

Katy Perry with Travis mccoy

As early as age 17, Perry began her collaboration with Glen Ballard, who was able to produce records and co-write songs for Alanis Morrisette's 1995 Jagged Little Pill, which was indeed a chart-topper. After a few years, Perry worked with the Matrix, a team of producers/songwriters that had a Grammy nomination, and have worked in partnership with well-known artists like Shakira, Korn, and many others

There was a time when the Matrix planned to have their own album with Perry being one of the singers. Those plans were eventually stopped, but prior to their shelving, Perry was featured in one of Blender Magazine's 2004 issues, wherein Perry was given the title of: "The Next Big Thing!"

In 2007, Perry decided to sign a contract with Columbia Records. "UR So Gay" was her debut single which caught the attention of a moderate number of people, specifically because of the unique music video and "happy-go-lucky" lyrical content. In 2008, what made a breakthrough for Perry in the industry was her single entitled: "I Kissed A Girl", which claimed the Number One spot in the music charts in around 20 countries, therefore pushing Perry's accompanying album called: "One of the Boys" into America's Top Ten

Katy Perry also joined the so called "Warped Tour" in the summer of 2008, together with Travis McCoy of the group Gym Class Heroes, who has her boyfriend. Perry's "Hot N Cold" also became a number one hit. She also wrote three songs all by herself, one of which was "Thinking of You", which was included in the Top 40. Katy Perry is considered as a pop icon, both for her one-of-a-kind music and bizarre,

sense of fashion

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - I CAN FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT

"MUST LOOK" - CLICK HERE

My music video pick of the day goes to Enrique Iglesias and Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls) with “Heartbeat”. I love the song and love the lighting effects for the music video. My pick for music videos that I dig!

“Heartbeat” is a Dance pop song performed by Spanish pop singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias featuring Pussycat Dolls lead runner Nicole Scherzinger released as the second English single from his upcoming bilingual studio album Euphoria.

Euphoria is the ninth studio album by Spanish pop singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias. The album is a joint-release by Universal Republic and Universal Music Latino and was released on July 5, 2010 internationally and in the US on July 6, 2010. T

I haven't paid attention to Enrique Iglesias, but he's now making music that I want to listen to.

I'm loving Euphoria right now and I'm not expecting it to leave my CD player anytime soon.

 Lyrics for Enrique Iglesias feat. Nicole Scherzinger

Lyrics for Enrique Iglesias feat. Nicole Scherzinger

I saw you talking on the phone

I know that you are not alone

But you steal my heart away

Yeah you steal my heart away

You’re acting like you’re on your own

But I saw you standing with a girl

Stop tryn’ to steal my heart away,

Stop tryn’ to steal my heart away

I don’t know where we going

I don’t know who we are

I can feel your heartbeat … x2

He said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running thorugh me

Feel your heartbeat

She said

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running through me

Heartbeat

Feel your heartbeat

Maybe it’s the way you move

You got me dreaming like a fool

That I can steal your heart away

I can steal your heart away

No matter what it is you think

I’m not the kind of girl you think

And give my heart away

Stop tryin’ steal my heart away

I don’t know where we going

I don’t know who we are

I can feel your heartbeat

He said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

He said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running through me

Heartbeat

Feel your heartbeat

She said

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running through me

Stop stealling my heart away … x3

You’re stealling my heart away

I don’t know where we going

I don’t know who we are

Feels like we are flowing

High above the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars …

I can feel your heartbeat

He said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

He said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running through me

I can feel your heartbeat

She said

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

She said to me

I can feel your heartbeat

Running through me

Heartbeat

Feel your heartbeat

Stop stealing my heart away

Talk to me girl

Stop stealing my heart away

Give it to me boy

Stop stealing my heart away

Say it to me girl

You’re stealing my heart away

Stop stealing my heart away … x3

Your heartbeat..
