Seabird "Don't You Know Your Beautiful"

Really my only introduction to Seabird was on the radio. I was surprised to hear this song on our local christian radio station. "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" is a really well written, cleverly produced song. Its a great preview of a new project from this band. The band comes from none-other then Da'Nati, that's Cincinnati, Ohio for those of you who didn't grow up there. There label debut album " 'Til We See Shore" seems like it was a steller release. The songs are unique and the musicality of the instruments sometimes reminds me of Coldplay. Aaron Morgan, the lead singer has a quality rock voice. Its unique and he lays out songs that fit him perfectly.

Im more excited at how DYKYB moves the band forward leaps and bounds. With this radio hit their album release is sure to be a good release for them. I love the indie feeling of the beginning, almost like the beginning of a Juno soundtrack. With this single I can't wait to hear whats next. The band releases a 2 song Christmas EP on November the 23rd, Ill keep my ears peeled for theses songs too and can't wait to hear more music from a band that is making the right steps forward.

Get it on iTunes or amazonmp3.com!

Adam Lambert Disappointed?

I think im disappointed in the new Adam Lambert Single... "For Your Entertainment" Hold on... I enjoy this song, im all for these crazy pop songs that we love so much and we spin on the radio until it is killed and we hate it. I will do that exact thing with this song. However, do you remember "Time For Miracles" released just a couple weeks ago. Im just left a little confused as to what Lambert is going for. Does he want to be the male equivalent of Britney Spears, or become a rock icon. I was kind of thinking he was going the Daughtry route.

the single For Your Entertainment was most likely was left on the cutting room floor of Britney Spears last album, so bravo Lambert for picking it up off the floor however I think you sold yourself a little short on this song. Cool song but your voice is better than that. Time For Miracles was a great debut single after American Idol. For Your Entertainment will certainly be played on the radio but it wont win an album purchase from me.

im hoping your album is more like Time For Miracles and less like For Your Entertainment. I thought you may have the upper hand on Kris Allen however im thinking he may actually put out the better album now.

Timbaland For Your Party Playlist: "Morning After Dark"

Remember when Timbaland showed up on the scene several summers ago and we all thought he had just revolutionized music for life. Maybe that was just me, but everyone is still singing "Sexyback" , "Apologize", and " Way I Are" no question these three songs had a huge impact on three artists careers. Timbaland mixing Timberlakes Future *** Love Sounds launched Timberlakes career in the direction it was bound to go. Apologize launched Ryan Tedder's career, and Way I Are opened our eyes to Keri Hilson whose career has been less than explosive however she still has Timberland to thank for a shlew of hits.

So Now he is back again with Nelly Furtado and someone named SoShy. "Morning After Dark" is same ol' Timbaland....addictive. His songs are always backed by massive bass beats. One reason im impressed by Timbaland is how recognizable his songs are by the first few beats. I honestly have no idea what he is saying in this new song. However I do enjoy three minutes and fifty two seconds

Add this to your party playlist before it dies: its the first single from the upcoming album so if this is any description of what is to come, im excited.
