Spring Music

By James Knowles
Staff Writer

Spring is in wake and with a new season comes new music.

Spring is known to everyone as the season of rebirth. When the green fields grow back their luscious grass, leaves sprout from the trees, myriads of flowers can be seen through out the various parts of town. So when you’re looking for a new musical playlist to jam too when you’re enjoying the warm weather on a casual drive, or enjoying a nature walk or simply just laying in a field of grass: here are some suggestions:

You American Idol fans might remember Brooke White, a top five finalist back in season seven? Well now with a Grammy nomination and holding the record of best Indie/Folk-Pop album debut ever, she has come a long way. Her album, High Hopes and Heartbreak is a soothing type of sound that can set someone at peace and the harmonies put together on this album are genius. These are the type of songs that fit nicely into going for a nature walk, or just trying to reach a state of zen. Some tracks to listen too: Sometimes Love, High Hopes and Heartbreak, When We Were One and Phoenix.

If you’re looking to jam out to some party music while driving aimlessly around in Westford or just to have a good time then these are recommended: Animal by Ke$ha, Jason DeRulo’s self-titled album, For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert. These albums collectively make prime songs to dance ridiculously to in your car and sing too. Some tracks to look out for are: (Ke$ha) Dinosaur, Blah Blah Blah, Party At A Rich Dude’s House. (Jason DeRulo) In My Head, Love Hangover, Ridin’ Solo. (Adam Lambert) Music Again, For Your Entertainment, Fever.

Some new artists to watch out for that are making a huge impact quickly in spring of ’10: The Script, Taio Cruz, La Roux, New Boyz and David Guetta.

    This is not music… Besides there are over 100 more artists getting their shine in the season of Spring. Have you guys ever heard of Drake? He’s the one that’s been creating the most buzz lately in the music industry around this time of year. I’m sure the New Boyz lost their shine 2 months after their overly ill-advised song “You’re a Jerk” and their generic R’n’B song “Tie Me Down”. These chumps only had two songs that didn’t even get that much airplay, except for “Tie Me Down”. Drake had over 5 songs that are still in heavy rotation on the radio. If you want to talk about the mainstream music coming out this time, at least mention some of the true players in the game.

    There isn’t very much correlation between spring and new music, especially with mainstream music; the topic of this article. Also, the article contains a few grammatical mistakes. In the article title, “music” shouldn’t be be capitalized, and there should not be a period. In the first paragraph “too” should be “to”. In the second paragraph, “someone” should be “one”. Overall, the article does not sound very professional at all.

    Spring has nothing to do with the output of new music, it’s record companies forcing their artists to put new music out. Especially when the genre is pop, as it is here. They’re just saturating the market with new songs that all sound the same.
