“Now” This is Our Time!

Starting off with their debut album, “All We Know Is Falling,” Paramore has gone through some good and bad times. The band as a whole have matured themselves and he sound that they produce. Jeremy Davis (Bass), Hayley Williams (Vocals/Keyboards) and Taylor York (Guitar) are the remaining original Paramore members. It has been a few years since the group has put out a new album or conducting a tour.

On December 6, 2012 Paramore spilled the anticipated news fans have been waiting for! On April 9^th, 2013 their self-titled album will be released! Pre-orders for the album and special bundles are offered at http://www.paramore.net/preorder. April seems far ahead to wait for the new album, so the first single “Now” was released on January 22, 2013.

Listen Up!

Hello Everyone!

Let me start off by saying, thank you for tuning into my blog! I know I have not posted anything recently (life got a little crazy) but I will try to post more often!

So regarding my first post, I asked the question "Have you had the experience of someone who mentioned something about a certain artist or group (you actually take the time to go and research) and you find out that you absolutely love the art this artist or group created?"

I had a good friend who suggested to listen to this specific artist for her talented voice. Boy do I thank her for her suggestion! I found one of my new favorite artists! This incredibly talented singer was placed in the top three for the 10th season of American Idol. Haley Reinhart's was eliminated from the show, but that was not about to stop her! 

Haley was signed to 19 Entertainment and Interscope Records. In November 2012 she left Interscope Records but stayed with 19 Entertainment. On May 22, 2012, her debut album "Listen Up!" was released! Listen Up! debuted at number 17 in the Billboard 200 with over 20,000 sold copies. The first single released was "Free," produced by Michael James Ryan Busbee. Below is the music video for "Free." I say check it out!

Overall, I have came to the conclusion that this album is purely marvelous! The album incorporates today's pop sound with the a dash of jazz influence. Do not forget to add some R&B and Soul influences too! Personally, one of my favorite songs besides "Free", would be "Spiderweb." This piece shows a flair of Haley's emotion and incredible voice. Also I would suggest to listen to "Oh My! (Feat. B.o.B)," "Wonderland" and "Walking On Heaven." Well... if you listen to those songs, you might as well listen to the whole album! 

Let me know what your opinions are of the talented artist Haley Reinhart!

Man, I am stoked for the first post!

Welcome everyone to my first blog! I am thrilled to be hosting a safe place to share, create and converse about music. Most of you may not know me, but if you would like to get to know me a little more, on the right side of this page is my small biography. If you read my small biography and stubble upon a question that I did not answer, please feel free to ask!

Moving on! So you may ask yourself, “What is the purpose of this blog?”

-“The purpose of this blog is to explore and inform anyone who is interested in new music, searching for music reviews, writing about new ways to incorporate music in today’s world and giving suggestions for artist or compilations mixes. Music is incorporated with many aspects of today’s media industry and every day life, so lets talk about it!”

-Brett

I would like to point out that I personally love alternative rock while I am always working on expanding my musical inventory, this blog may contain many topics regarding alternative rock.

You may ask now, “Why not the genre of________?”

-“Don’t worry! Remember music is all around! My ears and eyes look forward to expanding my knowledge about other genres and musicians because they just might be my next favorite things. We will explore beyond the alternative type.”

-Brett

ALERT!: This blog is targeted towards anyone who has a dynamic passion for music.

-“Communication is knowledge!”

-Yes, Brett says this!

When people start talking about an artist and their wonderful music, more and more people will start to hear about this artist. People will be curious to learn about this new source of music whether it is listening to a song on a stereo or attending a live show. People will research artists whether it is to purchase a single or to follow up on that particular artist’s biography. Companies are able to gain a higher number of consumers due to the spread of marketing.

So who would like to say something? Don’t be shy!

Maybe start off with the question:

Have you had the experience of someone who mentioned something about a certain artist or group (you actually take the time to go and research) and you find out that you absolutely love the art this artist or group created? If so, feel free to share your story or thoughts about this particular artist or group!

Or enlighten your thoughts about this newly blog!

I look forward to interacting with everyone and developing the new education that is soon to board all minds!
