Usher: Euphoria

Euphoria is a pretty bad song.  I got it during the height of the Euphoria in the beginning of 2012.  But that soon fizzled out and in fact it fizzled out so fast that I completely stopped listening to this Compact Disc as a result and it has literally been sitting on my shelf ever since.  Which has been for months and even though I am listening to it right now, that will not last long.

Lady GaGa: Judas

I just finished watching the Music video for Judas by Lady GaGa and it was pretty exciting.  Now that Christmas is officially over I can now switch gears into Easter, or what precedes Easter which is Lent.  It’s one of my favorite times of year, especially going to Church on Easter Sunday.  I definitely plan on doing that and this is one way to warmup to the season with it approaching fairly soon, surprisingly enough on March 31st, 2013.

Madonna: Gang bang

I am just listening to Gang bang and it's pretty good but I am tired of MDNA at this point.  I love Madonna but I need a break, especially before Christmas when I usually pave the road for Mariah Carey.

Ke$ha: Blow (Cirkut remix)

I just finished listening to the Cirkut remix of Blow by none other than Ke$ha and it was absolutely amazing.  I also just finished watching a Television program about a possible Nuclear explosion by the end of the year with tensions rising in the Middle East.  It's kind strange actually but I saw it coming years ago.  I am not sure if it will happen at this point but all signs are pointing towards a pretty big event by the end of the year.

Britney Spears: Till the world ends

Till the World Ends is such a prophetic song; I can't stop listening to it at this time in History as we are so close to the end.  December 21st, 2012 is displayed at the beginning of the Music video and it couldn't be more accurate in my mind.  No one wants to believe it because we have all heard such terrible things about Judgment day since the beginning of time practically.  However that doesn't mean it won't happen and in fact it feels like it is happening more and more with every waking minute.  We just passed the twelve-week mark till then last night and about a week ago we passed the three month mark.  It's getting exciting and scary all at the same time.

David Guetta featuring Usher: Without you

Without You is a great song.  I am a little tired of it, but the memories of it from last year at this time are coming flooding back.  I am writing this in November of 2012 and I am pretty sure that I listened to this song the most in November of 2011; what a great time.

Rihanna featuring Jeezy: Hard (Jody den Broeder radio edit)

It’s so fun to listen to the Jody den Broeder Radio edit of Hard in my new apartment.  I am used to listening to it in my old apartment and the surrounding area so it takes on a whole new meaning in the current city in which I live, as compared to the former town.

Hamza Namira: Wushoosh

I just finished listening to Wushoosh and it was great.  Wushoosh is track number 13 on Insan, which is Hamza Namira's second Studio album and that Studio album is amazing.  It's my first Middle Eastern Studio album and I must say I am satisfied beyond belief.  There are so many amazing songs on the entire album that I therefore recommend the entire collection.

Hamza Namira: Ya Hanah!

I am now listening to Ya Hanah! in the same environment that I was just saying was a little unlively. But it started to get exciting when I began to listen to the song I am currently Blogging about, Ya Hanah!

Hamza Namira: Balady Ya Balady

Balady Ya Balady is a great song. The ending is amazing. It is from Hamza Namira's second Studio album entitled Insan. It appears as track eight on Insan and is preceded by Ibn El-Watan, another great track.

Hamza Namira: Ewidooni

I am just listening to Ewidooni after my first time to the Mosque.  Of course I am referring to the Mosque closest to where I live, but it's synonomous to say "I am going to the Mosque" as opposed to saying "I am going to Church."  You typically do not say "I am going to the Church," nor do you say "I am going to Mosque."  There is a huge difference and it is common knowledge to do it the correct way for me.

Hamza Namira: Ya Muhawwin

I just finished listening to Ya Muhawwin again, by Hamza Namira.  It was great and I really appreciated it because I am actually going to the Library today to download the entire Studio album on which it's from entitled Insan.  It will be my first Middle Eastern Studio album and that excites me because it is all downhill from there, so to speak.  I have a few other artists like that already lined up, such as Ahmed Mekky.

Hamza Namira: Taghreeba II (Tazkarti)

I am just listening to Taghreeba II (Tazkarti) from Hamza Namira’s second Studio album entitled Insan.  It’s a great album and I highly recommend it.  Taghreeba II (Tazkarti) is track number four on the album and it is right in front of the first track that attracted me to the album and that would have been Ya Muhawwin.  It’s behind another great track on the album as well and that would be none other than Hansa.

Hamza Namira: Hansa

I just finished listening to Hansa earlier today and it was great.  I love listening to Middle Eastern music, especially when I am in the heart of what I call "white America."  It's so fun to see their reaction because they are so Islamaphobic.  I understand where they are coming from but I don't want to fight for the rest of my life.

Hamza Namira: Taghreeba II (Tazkarti)

I just finished listening to Taghreeba II (Tazkarti) and it was amazing.  I had been taking a break from listening to this song, and therefore the entire album, because I live in a part of the world that is very Christian as far as they profess to be so listening to Middle Eastern music is not always a good idea if you want to make it out of the town alive.  However it’s worth the risk because Hamza Namira is so amazing.

Hamza Namira: Wushoosh

Wushoosh is so amazing.  I can’t stop listening to it.  It is always the second song I listen to on Insan, right after Ya Hanah! which is my favorite song to listen to from Insan at this point.  It used to be Ya Muhawwin, but now it’s Ya Hanah!

Hamza Namira: Hansa

Hansa is a great song.  It was one of the first songs I started to listen to from Hamza Namira’s second Studio album entitled Insan.  The first song on the album, Insan, is also good but since I am referring to the album of the same name that does not apply.  However Hansa should not be overlooked, it’s great.

Hamza Namira: Ibn El-Watan

Ibn El-Watan is also a great song. I love the lyrics even though I do not understand Arabic but I know a good song when I hear it. Ibn El-Watan is well-written as far as what I can understand and the Melody is great.

Hamza Namira: Ya Hanah!

Ya Hanah! is an amazing song, I highly recommend it but at this point, only to the Middle Eastern community.  Of course I recommend it to the Developed nations as well but nearly as much.  They are still getting their fix from Country music and Electronic; mostly in North America and Europe, respectively.

Hamza Namira: Balady Ya Balady

Balady Ya Balady is a great song. The ending is the best. I am so impressed with this song as I had not heard it until I downloaded Hamza Namira's second Studio album from iTunes, entitled Insan. I had no choice but to download it from iTunes, my unpreferred choice for purchasing music. But that is because the Compact Disc was not available on Amazon.com.

Hamza Namira: Ya Muhawwin

I just finished listening to Ya Muhawwin by Hamza Namira again. I am getting ready to buy the album on which it's entitled Insan, which apparently means Human in English.  But I have to check my facts on that.  Therefore human in Arabic would be insan, but once again I have to check my facts on that.  However the Arabic word for human, if it is insan, sounds a lot like the English word insane.

Steve Aoki featuring Kid Cudi & Travis Barker: Cudi the Kid (Third Party remix)

The third Party remix of Cudi the Kid is pretty amazing. It is produced by Steve Aoki and features Kid Cudi & Travis Barker. It is actually a really great remix and I am sure the original version is good as well.  I just started listening to it but it blows me away already, in fact many of the tracks on this album do entitled Cavo Paradiso '12. Plus it is a two-disc set.

No_ID & Martin Volt: Zelda (Hardwell edit)

I am listening to the Hardwell Edit of Zelda and all I can think of is the game.  Of course I am referring to the game of the same name by Nintendo which is one of its most prominant series.  This track is produced by NO_ID & Martin Volt and it actually blows me away and is amazing.

Jacques lu Cont: Church

The track Church, the thirteenth track on Disc 2 of a two-disc set by Benny Benassi entitled Cavo Paradiso '12, is a pretty amazing track. It was actually the first track I listened to from the album and is produced by Jacques lu Cont. I am familiar with his work and he is a great DJ.  Apparently the album on which it is from was produced or has some affiliation with Mykonos, Greece.  In fact it is so prevelant that it appears on the cover of the album artwork and that impresses me as I am in love with Greece and its culture.

Congorock: Ivory (Mumbai Science remix)

The Mumbai Science remix of Ivory is pretty great. It is produced by Congorock and that Producer is also pretty great. I was just talking to someone of East Indian descent and it was interesting because we were talking about India and Mumbai is a very prominant city in Indian so it's ironic that I would chose to Blog about this track immediately following my conversation with her.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove

I just finished listening to Push and Shove and it was great. I was listening to it through my Stereo on Compact Disc, since Compact Disc has the best sound quality. MP3s are in no way as good as CDs as far as sound quality goes. The only thing they are good for besides cost effectiveness is their portability. MP3s don't cost as much and you can take them practically anywhere on an MP3 player but CDs have such better sound and they come with the lyrics sometime but if nothing else then a great little booklet.

No Doubt: Looking Hot

I am just watching the Live performance of Looking Hot when No Doubt performed it on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and it’s great.  Of course I would love to see the Music video they produced for that song, but they decided to pull it after some controversy surround Native Americans.  It’s sad really, but some people can be really sensitive.

No Doubt: Settle Down

The Music video for Settle Down is pretty crazy. I enjoy watching it because it reminds me of the summer in 2012. But I am also eagerly awaiting the re-release of the Music video for Looking Hot, considering that it was pulled from the air in early November and here it is the end of December.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove

I just finished listening to Push and Shove yet again, after watching the Music video for this song numerous times today. This song really is amazing, I am glad they didn’t release it in a way as there may not have been a Music video made for it as of yet. But on the other hand it may have done well. I am afraid to listen to the rest of the songs on this album because they are so good that I am afraid of being disappointed.

No Doubt: Looking Hot

Looking Hot is a great song. I am very much looking forward to seeing the Music video which should be released sometime in November. I am writing this at the end of October right before the official release of Looking Hot on November 6th, 2012.

No Doubt: Settle Down

I am just watching the Music video for Settle Down once again. It was released in the summer of 2012 but it’s still pretty classic as far as even though it’s fall now, I have a hard time not watching it. I first saw it in the summer but I only really started watching it at the inception of the release of the album on which it’s from, Push and Shove.

Gwen Stefani: Wind it Up

I am just watching the Music video for Wind it Up. It’s pretty amazing and can be found on Gwen Stefani’s official YouTube channel entitled GwenStefaniVEVO. I highly recommend it because not only was it directed by Sophie Muller but the song has great sound and Gwen Stefani performs amazingly in it.

Pharrell featuring Gwen Stefani: Can I have it Like that

I am listening to Can I have it Like that and it’s sick. Gwen Stefani is amazing on it. However Pharrell is the one who steals the show. Pharrell Williams is one of the best Rappers I have ever heard.

No Doubt: Hella Good

I just finished watching the Music video for Hella Good and it was pretty amazing. I am growing tired of it, but that is because I have been watching it like crazy to try and help support their most recent Studio album entitled Push and Shove.

No Doubt: New

Now I am listening to the song New, by No Doubt. This song was released as a single after the massive success of their third Studio album entitled Tragic Kingdom and before their follow-up to that album, Return of Saturn. That was their fourth Studio album and it's great.

Girlicious: Baby Doll

Baby Doll was released as the third single from Girlicious, the self-titled debut Studio album released by the group of the same name. It was a great joy to listen to that song upon its release and still is to this day.  Girlicious was created by Robin Antin, the same person who founded the Pussycat Dolls.  She has also worked with the likes of Paris Hilton, No Doubt and P!nk; to name a few.

Pussycat Dolls: Buttons

Buttons was released as the fourth single from the album entitled PCD.  PCD was released as the debut album from the Pussycat Dolls, the title PCD serves as an acronym for the Pussycat Dolls. Buttons is included as the fifth track on the album PCD and I highly recommend that album.

Backstreet Boys: Inconsolable

Inconsolable was released as the lead single from Unbreakable. Unbreakable was released as the sixth Studio album by the Backstreet Boys in 2007. They are due to drop their eighth Studio album this year, 2013. That should be exciting, the Backstreet Boys are a great group and I am a big fan of their music.

Pussycat Dolls: When I grow up

When I grow up was released as the lead single from Doll Domination. Doll Domination was the second Studio album released by the Pussycat Dolls and even though I wanted to get the re-release of that album entitled Doll Domination 2.0, I settled for the Mini Collection which only features six tracks, instead of ten.  But none the less, a great EP.

Pussycat Dolls featuring will.i.am: Beep

Beep was released as the third single from PCD. PCD is the debut Studio album that was released by the Pussycat Dolls in 2005. will.i.am is featured on Beep and that is exciting for me because I am a huge fan of the Black Eyed Peas, that is the Hip hop group he belongs to and they are hardly hip hop these days.  But that is what they is most well-known for.

Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes: Don’t Cha

Don't Cha was released as the debut single from the Pussycat Dolls. I just got PCD from Amazon.com in the mail, it was fun. PCD is the debut Studio album that was released by the Pussycat Dolls in 2005.  Don't Cha can be found on that album, as the first track. It is an amazing song!

AR Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger: Jai Ho(You are my Destiny)

Jai Ho! (You are my destiny) is a great track and can be found most prominently on the Mini Collection of Doll Domination or Doll Domination 2.0. Doll Domination 2.0 is the re-release of Doll Domination and the Mini Collection is the EP, or extended play, of Doll Domination. The Mini Collection features six tracks, whereas Doll Domination 2.0 features ten tracks.

deadmau5: Closer

Closer is the ninth track on >album title goes here<, deadmau5's sixth Studio album. It's an amazing track really following another favorite track of mine entitled Take care of the proper paperwork. That track is actually my favorite on the album right now but I have been blogging about it for so long that I need a break.  However Closer is nice and refreshing even though it is not as good.

deadmau5: Take care of the proper paperwork

I can’t seem to stop listening to the track Take care of the proper paperwork. It’s the eighth track on deadmau5’s sixth Studio album entitled >album title goes here< and in my opinion one of the better ones. I have a great time listening to it; it reminds me of being in a factory as it is that Industrial sounding.

Nari & Milani: Atom (Original mix)

The track entitled Atom on Benny Benassi’s Compilation album entitled Cavo Paradiso ’12 is an amazing track.  Produced by Nari & Milani in Italy, Benny Benassi decided to include it on the album aforementioned above which is actually an amazing outdoor Greek venue located on the island of Mykonos.  When I saw that on the cover, I decided then and there that I would buy it considering my love for Greece.

Congorock: Ivory (Mumbai Science remix)

The Mumbai Science remix of Ivory is pretty exciting. It is produced by Congorock who is fairly unknown to me; however they do have another track on the album I am referencing. That album is a Compilation album of different DJs and Producers all put together by Benny Benassi on Cavo Paradiso '12.  It was recorded in Mykonos, Greece as far as I know but I have to double check that.  But that place does appear on the album cover as a prominent feature which is actually what sold the album for me.

NO_ID & Martin Volt: Zelda (Hardwell edit)

Whenever I listen to the track entitled Zelda, I always think of the video game series by Nintendo entitled The Legend of Zelda.  That game is one of Nintendo’s best and I would argue, one of the best video game series ever created.  Of course it has nothing to do with the track I am referring to.  But when you are a diehard fan of the game like me, all you can think about is the game.

No Doubt: Looking Hot

I just finished listening to Looking Hot in anticipation of the new video. There was already a Music video released for this single put it was pulled off the air the following day. Therefore I have been waiting two months for the re-release. It's an excellent song and the video was good too. I just feel like at this point, there might not be a re-release although that would be futile of No Doubt considering their comeback.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove

I am just watching the Music video for Push and Shove since No Doubt pulled the Music video for Looking Hot. Apparently it was too controversial, although I had not seen anything to racy. It’s more like depicting Native Americans in any bad way in this day and age is a bad thing; although I didn’t see anything that was negative.

Pelari: Cango

Cango is the track included on Club Life Vol3 Stockholm before Century, which is my favorite track. Century is produced by Tiesto & Calvin Harris so it's a stellar track. Whereas Cango is more like a warm up track to that dynamite smash Trance track. Cango is a little more House; although it is Progressive House, my favorite sub-genre of House.

Ke$ha: Die young

The Music video for Die young is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. Ke$ha has most definitely evolved from the days of old when the Music video for Blow was released all the way back at the beginning of 2011. In fact she has for the most part been missing in action since then but she went through a long period of releasing hit after hit and was due for a break. She got it and now she is back on top like never before.

Zedd featuring Foxes: Clarity (Tiësto remix)

The song entitled Clarity on Club Life Vol3 Stockholm is a great track. Produced by Zedd, the DJ Zedd hails from a part of Germany that is very close to the border with France. That is one of my favorite areas of Germany. It includes the area of Europe know as the Blue Banana and so therefore the ECB is not too far away considering that the Blue Banana represents the most densely populated and richest area of Europe.

Tiësto & Calvin Harris: Century (Tiësto & Moska remix)

Century is my favorite track on Club Life Vol3 Stockholm. Produced by Tiesto and Calvin Harris, one DJ is from the Netherlands and the other is from the UK. In fact, he is from Scotland, which is a country in the UK. The UK is difficult to describe, but because it consists of four so-called countries, they label it a Kingdom.

Tiësto, Quintino & Alvaro: United (Tiësto & Blasterjaxx remix)

United is the last track on Club Life Vol3 Stockholm. It's a great track and a great way to wrap up the album. It's so good that now I want Club Life Vol2 and 1. They just sound amazing, the first takes place in Las Vegas and the second takes place in Miami. Those are two cities I am a pretty big fan of. However they don't have anything on Stockholm.

Hardwell featuring Amba Shepherd: Apollo (Hardwell’s club life edit)

Apollo is the fourth track included on Club Life Vol3 Stockholm. There are a few things to mention here, for example, Apollo is the Greek name for the planet Mercury. Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden, a member state in the European Union. Jupiter has a moon named Europa, and as a Sagittarius, my detriment is Mercury considering my ruling-planet is Jupiter.

Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch: Sweet Nothing (Tiësto and Ken Loi re-remix)

Sweet nothing by Calvin Harris is a pretty good track. I was tempted to buy a Calvin Harris CD the other day but I stopped myself because I don't know if he is ready yet. Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia and Daft Punk have been around forever; whereas Calvin Harris is kind of the new kid on the block. He is still talented but I think I will wait.

Pelari: Cango

Cango is the track preceding the best track on Club Life Vol3: Stockholm in mt opinion. That track is entitled Century and it is produced by Tiesto & Calvin Harris, which is why I like it so much. Calvin Harris is a great DJ, hailing from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Janet Jackson: Together again

Together again was released as the first official single from The Velvet Rope. Got 'til It's gone was released internationally before Together again. But for some reason or another, Janet Jackson decided to wait until the release of Together again before she ventured into the US market. The American market is a hard one to crack and so artists often release singles internationally if they feel they won't do well in America.

Alesso vs. One Republic: If I lose myself

The 11th track included on Club life Vol3 Stockholm is a pretty good track. First of all, it is entitled 'If I lose myself' and it is labeled as being produced by or released under Alesso vs. One Republic. Ryan Tedder is the lead vocalist from One Republic and his vocals on this track are pretty exciting. However the production by Alesso is the killer. Alesso is a great DJ, hailing from Stockholm, Sweden; one of the best places on earth concerning the development of excellent Electronic DJs.

Passion Pit: Carried away (Tiësto remix)

The track entitled Carried away on Club Life Vol3 is pretty exciting. This particular Volume of Club Life was produced in Stockholm and Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden. Sweden is a prominent Member state of the European Union whereas another Scandinavian country, Norway, has not even acceded into it yet. However, Finland has and is also included in the Euro zone.

Tiësto & Calvin Harris: Century (Tiësto & Moska remix)

Century is a track included on Club life Vol. 3. That album was released by Tiesto and it was recorded in Stockholm, either that or it has a strong Swedish influence considering that the official title of that album is Club life Vol. 3: Stockholm. I gravitated towards that track because it is related to a division of time and I am a huge fan of time and telling it.

Janet Jackson featuring Q-tip and Joni Mitchell: Got ‘til it’s gone

Got 'til It's gone was released as the first international single from The Velvet Rope. The Velvet Rope was released as the sixth Studio album by Janet Jackson in the year 1997. It followed her best-selling Studio album release in 1993. The title of that album was janet. Stylized just as so, with all lower case letters and the period at the end as well.

Hardwell featuring Amba Shepherd: Apollo (Hardwell’s club life edit)

Apollo is the 4th track included on Club life Vol. 3. The official title of that album is actually Club life Vol. 3: Stockholm, however it seems a little wordy like that so I often write it as it is written on the cover which is Club life Vol3 Stockholm or I just say Club Life Vol3. That is due in large part to the fact that there is more than one volume and to say Vol3 usually covers it.

Janet Jackson: Throb

Throb was released on the B-side of the Any time, any place single; so not officially as a single in the United States of America. However it was a great single internationally speaking. I enjoyed it thoroughly; the beat is great and even the lyrics as simple as they are, are very interesting and obscure in a sense.

Janet Jackson: Alright

Alright was released as the fourth single from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. That album was Janet Jackson's fourth Studio album and I just received it on Compact Disc from Amazon.com. That was exciting for me because I have never owned that album on Compact Disc. It's a great album, my three favorite songs are Escapade, Alright and Love will never do(without you).

Janet Jackson: Escapade

Escapade was released as the third single from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. That album was released as Janet Jackson's fourth Studio album. It preceded her best-selling Studio album entitled janet. That album is her best-selling Studio album only by a bit. Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 almost remained her best-selling Studio album, but her fifth Studio album janet. topped it.

Janet Jackson: You want this

You want this was released as the sixth and final single from janet. Those would be considering all of her singles released in the United States of America. Sometimes artists and acts release singles outside of that market however they are usually not considered to be official singles.

Janet Jackson: Because of love

Because of Love was released as the fourth single from janet. It followed the single entitled Again in her release catalog. That is Janet Jackson's release catalog. Again was a ballad and even though Because of Love was a little more mid tempo, it followed suit. In fact the next single would be even slower, but then she would turn it up a notch with You want this.

Janet Jackson: That's the way love goes

That's the way love goes was released as the lead single from the album entitled janet. I just received that album on Compact Disc for the second time in history and it was exciting. The only reason why I bought it twice is because I gave my original copy away. However, janet. is so good that I had to buy it again.

Janet Jackson: Love will never do (without you)

Love will never do(without you) was released as the seventh single from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. The Music video features Antonio Sabato Jr. in a cameo role who is most well-known to me through a show he starred in entitled Earth 2. Earth 2 was a great show about a planet in outer space that was Earth-like.

Spice Girls: Holler

Holler was the first single released by the Spice Girls after Geri Halliwell departed that is from a Studio album.  So even though they released a single immediately following her departure without any lyrics by her on it; Holler was the first single from a Studio album that Geri Halliwell has no part in.

Pussycat Dolls: Buttons

Buttons was released as the fourth single from the Pussycat Dolls' debut Studio album. That album was entitled PCD and it is a great album. I highly recommend it and I also highly recommend their following work, Doll Domination. Doll Domination was released as their second Studio album.

Backstreet Boys: Inconsolable

Inconsolable was released as the lead single from the sixth Studio album released by the Backstreet Boys.  I went out and immediately bought that album upon its release, however it didn't end there.  I then went on to attend the concert they performed in promotion of that album and it was amazing.  Girlicious opened for them and that was also an exciting part of the event. They were created by Robin Antin and she also founded the Pussycat Dolls.
