The Music video for Die young is absolutely amazing. I am totally in love with it and I am so glad that I decided to buy the album on which it is from entitled Warrior. That album is only Ke$ha's second Studio album but she has released an amazing Extended Play (EP) and remix album between her two Studio albums. I recommend all four of those releases.

Ke$ha: Warrior
Warrior is the first track included on the album of the same name. That would be Ke$ha's second Studio album and it's a doozy in the highest honor. I highly recommend it but only if you are an extreme Pop music fan like me. She said she wanted to reinvent Pop music with this album and she did. It's so Pop friendly that it's Electropop in my opinion. Electropop is one of my favorite subgenres of both Pop music and Electronic since it merges the two. Warrior is a great Studio album.
Ke$ha: Thinking of you
I keep listening to Thinking of you more as opposed to Warrior, the song. I say that because I thought I would be listening to Warrior more than the other songs on the album other than Die young and C’mon. But it seems to flow more easily when I start with Die young then go into C’mon and then immediately into Thinking of you. Those are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tracks. So opposed to Warrior which is the 1st; I still like Warrior but it is like going back in time for me as opposed to forwards as you can see.
Ke$ha: We r who we r
We r who we r was released as the lead single to Ke$ha's extended play or EP entitled Cannibal. That was a great EP, one of my favorites in History. It followed on the heels of the massive success of her debut Studio album entitled Animal and was released so soon after the release of that album that you can actually buy a deluxe edition including all tracks from both releases.
Swedish House Mafia featuring Pharrell: One (your name)
I just finished listening to One (your name) by Swedish House Mafia featuring Pharrell. For those of you not keeping up, Pharrell is Pharrell Williams; even though I can’t figure out if he is singing on the track or not. He is most well-known as a Producer and a rapper so to hear him singing is strange, if it is indeed him. None the less; it’s a great track. I love Pharrell, I am a huge fan!
Coldplay vs. Swedish House Mafia: Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall appears as the eighth track on Until Now. That is Swedish House Mafia’s second Compilation album and it’s a great one. Every teardrop is a waterfall was released as the lead single from Coldplay’s fifth Studio album entitled Mylo Xyloto. That is news to me but Swedish House Mafia remixed it and so it appears on their album Until Now. On that album the artist is labeled as Coldplay vs. Swedish House Mafia.
Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry child
Don’t you worry child is a great track. It appears as the seventh track on Swedish House Mafia’s second Compilation album entitled Until Now and that’s great. Above and beyond that, the Music video is great and it makes me think of Europe like you wouldn’t believe. The video itself was filmed in the United Kingdom and that is a very prominent country in the European Union representing the second largest economy in that union.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Cam’ron: The bluff
The Bluff featuring Cam’ron is a pretty good song. I was having trouble deciding which song to listen to next off of o.n.i.f.c and then I saw that there was a Music video filmed for this song with the possibility of being released as the third single. The song after Work hard, Play hard wasn’t very exciting and the second official single released from o.n.i.f.c. hasn’t grabbed my attention yet with the featured artist being The Weekend.
T.I. featuring A$AP Rocky: Wildside
Wildside is a pretty good track featuring A$AP Rocky. He’s not my favorite rapper but he puts a pretty good spin on things. However T.I.’s part is pretty stellar. Once again it’s not my favorite track on the album but it’s a good lead in to Ball. The album I am referring to is none other than Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head.
Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, Play hard
Work hard, play hard is a great song. I am kind of getting bored of it but there are a total of 17 songs on o.n.i.f.c. so I am aiming for that some of the time. I like to enjoy the moment and if I concentrate on too many songs at a time, I get overwhelmed and neglect to get to know the one song I want to know more about. Right now it is all about Work hard, Play hard as far as Wiz Khalifa is concerned.
T.I.: Trap back Jumpin
Trap back Jumpin is one of the craziest songs I have ever heard. Included on Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head as track three, it was released as the fifth promotional single to that album and therefore there was a Music video shot for this song and above and beyond that it isn’t even just a Music video but a short film. That blows me away because I love T.I. in general but when he does stuff like that, let’s put it this way, hardly anyone does.
T.I.: The way we ride
The way we ride is kind of a crazy song. I mean that in the best way and what I mean by that exactly is that it kind of reminds me of the 80s but mostly because it is so ghangsta. However it has a super modern twist that is thrilling and exciting all at the same time because T.I. always makes things modern and exciting. He never fails at impressing me for the most part. Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head is a great album.
T.I.: Why you wanna
I am sitting here watching the Music video for Why you wanna and it is pretty good. Of course I think the song by itself as stand-alone audio is much better but I am a huge fan of the song it samples entitled Gypsy Woman (She’s homeless) by Crystal Waters. Above and beyond that T.I.’s lyrics blow me away as usual so with all of that combined the video footage takes away from the song a bit. I prefer the audio as compared to the visual.
T.I.: Go get it
Go get it is a great single, released as the lead to Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head, it was a great choice for the mainstream public. I highly recommend it and the Music video is pretty good as well. I prefer to listen to the song only but I do own that album on Compact Disc, so that could be why. That album is T.I.'s eighth and it's great.

Ke$ha: Die young
Die young is a crazy amazing song. I recommend it right now more than any other song I have ever heard and I have heard a lot. All I do is listening to Music for the purpose of my website which I love making however I listened to Music like it was going out of style preceding the work I began on my website. I was even in my high school concert band which was exciting because I got to play a solo in The Lion King on my Alto Saxophone.
Ke$ha: C’mon
C'mon was released as the second single to Ke$ha's second Studio album and it's a great single. The album I am referring to is her second Studio album like I said, entitled Warrior. That album is a great album and Ke$ha picked a great follow-up for her lead single to that album entitled Die young. Of course it's not nearly as good but it would be hard to top Die young at this point in her career.
Ke$ha: Warrior
Warrior is the first track included on the album of the same name. That album is Ke$ha's second Studio album and it follows a great remix album, an EP and her first Studio album. The remix album is entitled I am the dance Commander + I command you to dance: the remix album. The EP is entitled Cannibal and her first Studio album is entitled Animal.
Ke$ha: TiK ToK
TiK ToK is a crazy song and the Music video is even crazier. I love the theme of it and it reminds me of a gentler time in my life when people were not as agitated about partying as the theme of the song suggests. However that was all the way back in 2009, the Great Recession had just began no one was worried about money like they are today. But I think that song teaches a very valuable lesson to not have a care in the world because it's not worth it. Whatever will happen, will happen and there is nothing you can do about it.
Ke$ha: We r who we r
The Music video for We r who we r is very exciting. I love it and I think it is artistically very creative. The imagery in the Music video is very exciting. I love the blue theme in Ke$ha's makeup. It's very original and she looks great in it. Above and beyond that I love the reference to Jesus being on her necklace!
Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry child
The Music video for Don't you worry Child is a great Music video. I highly recommend it. It can be most prominently found on Swedish House Mafia's official YouTube channel entitled SHMVEVO. I highly recommend that channel. There are some great Music videos on it including but not limited to Don't you worry child, aforementioned above and Miami 2 Ibiza of course.
Swedish House Mafia: Save the World/Ferry Corsten: Punk (Arty rock-n-rolla mix)
The Medley entitled Save the world/Punk found on Swedish House Mafia's second Compilation album entitled Until Now is a great track. The version of Punk that is used is actually the Arty rock-n-rolla mix of that song and it's a great accompaniment to the already otherwise stellar track entitled Save the world.

T.I.: Go get it
The Music video for Go get it is a great Music video. The song is sick so any video footage to accompany that is out of this world. My favorite part, of course if you know me, is when T.I. struts along with a big fat Gold cross hanging around his neck. It’s the bomb.
T.I.: Trap back Jumpin
Trap back jumpin is a great track. It is the third track on Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and was released as the fifth promotional single to that album all the way back in September of 2012. I love how T.I. does that but some would argue it’s a little excessive. However it’s great for marketing as far as I am concerned. I love promotional singles and I am thinking of one right now which is the ultimate promotional single as far as I am concerned, once again; Push and Shove.
T.I. featuring Lil Wayne: Ball
Ball is a pretty good song, released as the second official single to Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head. That is T.I.’s eighth Studio album and it’s a pretty good one. Ball is most definitely not the best song on it in my opinion. But it has some good mainstream appeal for the general public. My favorite songs on the album are the explicit ones.
T.I. featuring P!nk: Guns and Roses
Guns and Roses is set to be the third official single from Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and I have a feeling it could be a big one. If I am familiar with T.I.'s professional music career, and I am then he will most likely blow everyone out of the water with a great Music video to this song featuring P!nk. P!nk is doing good on her own with a new album but I also feel like she is about to blow everyone out of the water as well by allowing T.I. to feature her in this video. It will be a great decision on both of their parts.
T.I.: Love this life
Love this life was released as a promotional single to Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head as far as I know. It is only available on iTunes for purchase whereas I bought the Compact Disc of this album in a store. The title of this song is very reminiscent of Live your Life, one of T.I.'s most successful singles, if not the most successful. That song could soon be eclipsed by Guns and Roses however; if T.I. plays his cards right.
T.I.: The Introduction
The Introduction is the first track included on Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head for obvious reasons. It's a very well-written track and I highly recommend it. It talks about always being in trouble and I relate quite highly to it. I don't know if that is the right expression but I enjoy listening to it because I am often in trouble.
T.I.: U Don’t know me
The Music video for U don't know me is a pretty good Music video. Released in 2005 you would think it would be much worse but it is actually pretty stunning with the King sporting a great little cross in it. Of course the cross is not as substantial as the one he wears today for example. But that just shows you how far he has come.

Swedish House Mafia: Greyhound
Greyhound is a pretty amazing track. Included as the first
track on Until Now, Swedish House Mafia's second Compilation album; it is a
great way to start the album and put you in the mood for some really great
Progressive House. I love Progressive House; it is honestly one of my favorite
Genres of music; if not my favorite.
Swedish House Mafia vs. Tinie Tempah: Miami 2 Ibiza
Miami 2 Ibiza is a sick track. I never thought it would be but I am very impressed. I think there is a connection to Benny Benassi or his brother to this track because I see Alesso on my MP3 player and as far as I know Benny Benassi's brother is Alesso or something like that, Benassi, but I have to wait until I get home to do further research on the matter. None the less, Miami 2 Ibiza is a wicked dumb sick track.
Coldplay vs. Swedish House Mafia: Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall is a pretty good track. This track is entitled Coldplay vs. Swedish House Mafia in the track listing as far as artist name goes. I think it’s a pretty good track, like I said but I have only heard it once; so I still have to get to know it more. But I was excited to listen to it because of the Coldplay factor. I am generally not a fan of theirs but with Swedish House Mafia involved they can’t go wrong.
Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry child
Don't you worry child is a pretty sick track. I have to do further research on it but it looks like Coldplay is involved. There is also another name that appears on my MP3 player but I can't quite make it out. This track was released as an official single as far as I know as there was a Music video filmed for it that I actually have taped on my DVD recorder. It's not actually taped on that but on a DVD that I used my DVD recorder to record onto. That's pretty sick if you ask me. Who has a DVD recorder?
Swedish House Mafia/Ferry Corsten: Save the World/Punk (Arty rock-n-rolla mix)
I have no idea what the Arty rock-n-rolla mix of Punk is but when Swedish House Mafia decided to mash it together with Save the world, they did a great deed to American society and therefore European. Of course not everyone would agree with that but you are reading something written by someone who loves Electronic music above and beyond almost any other Genre of music, including but not limited to Hip hop and Country for sure. I really detest Country right now but as far as Pop goes. The queen of Pop, Madonna is my favorite artist of all-time. She is the bomb terrorist as far as I am concerned to steal a line from a T.I. song.
No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove
I am listening to Push and Shove, the song, on a road trip and it's really exciting. I love listening to this song everywhere because it is so exciting. No Doubt really blew me away with their latest attempt. It's like icing on the cake with the release of MDNA earlier this year, but the icing is the best part.
Tiësto: Louder than Boom
Louder than Boom still impresses me like no other. Especially considering the Stock market is about to reach an all-time high. We are literally moments away from reaching the highest point in it which preceded the Great Recession. That's exciting for me considering that it has only been five years and although they have been painful, I still didn't expect to be this high so soon and when something like that happens; it's rare to get a repeat episode anytime soon. For example, the Great Depression was about seventy years ago now.

Ke$ha: Die young
I just finished listening to Die young yet again and it was pretty exciting. I love listening to it and I love the album on which it's from. That album is entitled Warrior and I would go so far as to say it's Ke$ha's best even though I have yet to hear it in entirety. However that shows you the caliber of the songs I have listened to, including the song aforementioned above and C'mon.
Ke$ha: C’mon
C'mon was released as the second single to the Studio album belonging to Ke$ha entitled Warrior. That album is her second Studio album following the release, in chronological order of her debut Studio album entitled Animal; her then subsequent release of an EP entitled Cannibal. And then finally the release of an amazing remix album entitled I am the dance Commander + I command you to dance: the remix album.
Ke$ha: Warrior
Warrior is a great track. It shares the same name as the album and the album itself is phenomenal. It is Ke$ha’s second Studio album and I highly recommend it. Above and beyond that I think that she should release the song Warrior as the third official single, but we will see. However it is that good of a track. I would go so far as to say that it’s the third best on the album even though I have yet to hear the album in entirety.
Ke$ha: TiK ToK
TiK ToK is a pretty good song. I am watching the Music video right now and that's exciting. I prefer the Music video compared to the song as a standalone format. The Music video is artistically creative and the lyrics in the song are as well so to see them in combination is great!
Ke$ha: We r who we r
We r who we r is a great song. I love the video and I highly recommend it. The song was released as the first single from Ke$ha's EP entitled Cannibal and that EP preceded her present Studio album entitled Warrior. Her debut Studio album which preceded her EP aforementioned above was entitled Animal. Of the three major releases I prefer Warrior the most even though the novelty of it might be influencing my decision to say that.
Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry child
The Music video for Don't you worry Child is a great video. I don't know if the video that I have recorded is cut off or if the video itself is cut off from the original format of the song. None the less it's a great video and of course the song itself aforementioned above is phenomenal. I was taking a break from it but it's difficult to take a break from. That's how good it is.
Swedish House Mafia: Save the World/Ferry Corsten: Punk (Arty rock-n-rolla mix)
The Music video for Save the world is pretty exciting. I taped it using my DVD recorder all the way back in the summer of 2011 so it's a little dated. None the less I enjoy it and it reminds me of the great time I had listening to the Mix of Punk and the song entitled Save the world previously mentioned that appears on Swedish House Mafia's second Compilation album entitled Until Now. I highly recommend that album and the original version of Save the world that appears on their second Compilation album as well, but not the mixed version. The unmixed version is available through iTunes only.

Sonu Nigam: Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte
I already blogged about Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte tonight but it is so good that I have to blog about it again. It is the last song on the album on which it's from that I own entitled The Rough Guide to Bollywood and that album is great.
Lata Mangeshkar: Raina Beeti Jaye
Raina Beeti Jaye performed by Lata Mangeshkar is a pretty good song. I am actually in love with Bollywood right now. I think of Slumdog Millionaire most prominently because that movie was phenomenal but there are many singers I love of Indian or Sub-continent region decent; most prominently as well, Jay Sean and M.I.A.
Jay Sean featuring Lil Wayne: Down
I am just watching the Music video for Down, by Jay Sean. This song and video was his big break in North America. I am particularly attracted to his song entitled 2012 (It ain't the end) as it is finally the year 2012 and I have honestly been waiting for this year my whole life. However I only recently realized that but it's all coming back to me now.
Kenan Doğulu: Çakkıdı
I am watching the Music video for Çakkıdı now and after talking about Turkey all day joining the European Union; it’s exciting. The European Union is a place that I love and in honor of that union I am learning French and German.
Hamza Namira: Hila Hila
I just finished listening to Hila Hila and it was pretty amazing. Right now, even though I have been over-playing Hamza Namira, it is still so exciting to listen to. I have been taking a break from him so that might explain it. But it is hardly a break, more like a small rest. I was distracted by Christmas music for a short time but I am back on track with the Islamic new year just beginning.
Hamza Namira: Balady Ya Balady
I just finished listening to Balady Ya Balady and it was pretty exciting. I have completely switched from the season of Ramadan to Christmas but the transition has been exciting and I very much appreciate the dichotomy of the two seasons. Next is Easter and that too will also be exciting. However my preference is Christmas because it is the most wonderful time of the year.
Hamza Namira: Hansa
I am just listening to Hansa in a city that is very non-Arabic. It's pretty interesting actually because I am in a coffee shop and I specifically asked for some Arabic coffee and even after months of doing so, they still don't have it. I did so because I was offered a Holiday drink and that just doesn't cut it anymore. I prefer a Christmas drink and so what I got instead was a Caffe Latte which is closer to both; Arabic and Christian.
Yolanda Adams: Just a Prayer Away
I have a lot of catching up to do before I complete this Playlist. I chose a whole new other Religious/Spiritual Playlist to Blog about because I finished the last one so quickly. However this one is taking a bit longer because it isn’t as interesting. But it is Passion Sunday today so I am sure things will liven up as they always do right before Easter Sunday and of course the Full Moon which coincides with Easter.
Yolanda Adams: Through the Storm
I just finished listening to Through the Storm care of Yolanda Adams for the first time; as far as paying attention to it as closely as I did, as part of my current Playlist. Yolanda Adams is a great Gospel singer and Amy Grant is what I consider to be a great Contemporary Christian music singer. The two are distinctively different although I lump them together quite often as it brings diversity to my Christian Playlists but not only that: I am a little dry on any kind of Christian-centered music.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove
I think it’s getting a little bit out of hand, but I just can’t stop listening to Push and Shove. It’s amazing really. I have been waiting eleven years for this Studio album and since it has been completely worth the wait, I am all over it. Gwen Stefani gets me like no other, except for Madonna really. She knows what I like because she always works it.
No Doubt: Looking Hot
I just finished watching the No Doubt performance of Looking Hot which was recently telecast on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was amazing and out of this world. I am actually awaiting the Music video but today I got confirmation that a well-known Director of No Doubt’s is directing the video. Her name is Sophie Muller and she is pretty amazing considering that she has directed most of their videos.
No Doubt: Settle Down
I first saw the Music video for Settle Down all the way back in the summer of 2012 and it completely reminds me of that. I still like it but with the onslaught of Push and Shove and now Looking Hot; it will be difficult to hold onto it. But I will try my best.
