Jay Sean is a British singer/songwriter who has been around the U.K/USA R'N'B scene for many years collaborating with Huge artists along the way. 'Hit the Lights' is his latest single to be released and features American rapper Lil Wayne, who he has already had massive success working with on the single 'Down'.
It seems to be a common theme nowadays for R'N'B artists to put a dance melody in the background for them to sing over the top, whereas mostly this has worked for many artists i feel that this song is very plain and boring and does not make me want to jump up and dance which the others have previously done. The most interesting thing about this song is there is a very small dubstep section towards the end of the track which has no place in the song and just makes it sound very random. But its not me that decides if YOU like it so check it out for yourself below.
Blue - I Can
Well as you know if you usually read my blog i normally start off with a bit of background information on the artist before reviewing the song but Blue were such a big boyband from around 2001 - 2005 that i feel you all should know about them anyway. If you didn't know Blue have reformed this year for the Eurovision song contest, the craziest and fumiest music contest there is, and this is the track they have recorded for the competition.
'I Can' is an up tempo catchy pop song that shows even though they have been out of the picture for some years they will be coming back with a BANG! In the way music has come over the years boybands are usually found to be uncool but i cant hide the fact i like this song, with the electronic feel to the voices in places and the big baseline in the back, this song is definitely relevant in the way music is going. BUT can they win the Eurovision song contest.......... Probably not and thats only because its based on Relations between countries and not singing ability. After saying all that they have a great chance of getting in the top 5 in the charts and i suggest definitely listening to THIS.
