I've always been a big fan of Wong Fu Productions, including their early work. I admire the creativity, especially the funny "Yellow Fever" and "music videos." It's just a shame I graduated too early from UF not getting a chance to hear them speak. On to the point, I recently got a chance to check out a music video they officially produced and directed for David Choi's "Won't Even Start."
David Choi is talented, with a nice chill acoustic beachy tone. If anyone knows what I mean, kinda like Ken Oak Band and Jason Mraz. No doubt about it, Choi's music just reiterates the fact that I will always love that soul Cali chill music. He may not know it, maybe he does, but he will be another face the Asian American youth will look up to. So regardless if you want him as your role model or just love his music, give Choi and Wong Fu some props for the MV.
Recently, I've been getting back into the habit listening to music on my Pandora account, and one song I have truly been amazed with is "Fly" by J. Holiday. The song has great lyrics and a beat that involves the slow smooth R&B and boy-pop band combo. Which is a great whammy!
Now to the lyrics, even though I have never been in the seat of true love, I feel like for those who truly are in love, they would definitely understand these lyrics. My belief is that anyone who really loves anyone would never hold them back from succeeding no matter how selfish they want them to stay. This doesn't mean to regret any moments you have with each other, but to always be happy with their accomplishments. It's always hopeful for those who have a love who's gone to hear songs like "Fly."
Now we've all come across songs that we love and hate. And that's probably because we love the beats, but hate the underlying themes and lyrics. Yes, most music out there today probably has no substance, and that's what the popular has come to accept and love. So when I come across an artist with a great story nowadays I appreciate that rawness, but I do digress.
Many times, I'm guilty loving songs that have no substance, but I'm fine with it. One example is Lady Gaga's album, Fame, where the theme here is just about having fun and partying, and I just love to jam to it. But I do have problems when the lyrics are derogatory, i.e. Yin Yang Twins' song, "Get Low."
So I've come to hear an R. Kelly song, and the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear R. Kelly is either R&B singer and/or pedophile (it's true, don't deny it.) So earlier I heard a banging beat that's great to go out to (and I love music like that) but then I heard something about being Superman high, and it just disgusts me when I listen to the lyrics. Lo and behold it will surprise you, it's R. Kelly's new song, which is more like club rap than his usual R&B hits.
So check it out, R. Kelly's "Superman High," do you love it or hate it??
Far East Movement announces: Verizon Wireless presents "Map the Soul," a 4 city tour.
Now why would they go and do that? Well, they'll be on the tour, of course, along with Epik High (group from Korea). For more information about the tour and where FM's going to be, check it out at http://www.fareastmovement.com/st/epik-highfm-tour/
I just breathe, speak, laugh, eat, dream, play, feel, live and love music. I crave all things related to music like dance, beats, lyrics, concerts, music videos, fashion, art, personalities, etc.
Surprise me with something new and I might be interested.
