Yes! VanitySite is back! I'm very excited to be able to share my favourite music with you again. But this is a new VanitySite, for the new music will trickle in once a week, rather than pour in once a day. Also, all posts will be cross-posted in facebook.
Sweet, so let's talk about the music. Two hip-hop songs and one electro-pop song. The new Outkast album is being generally derired by the critics and the era of Outkast Are Our Generation's Musical Saviours appears to be over. But there are some good songs on the new album, including Hollywood Divorce. The synths are incredible, and Lil' Wayne is, as he has been for the past couple of years, unstoppable. Plus, Snoop Dogg actually drops a very decent verse. Surprisingly good.
The next song is an unusual one: a humourous hip-hop song that comes from America. Great beat, catchy chorus, bursting with joie de vivre. Hopefully, this will inspire 9th Wonder to buy a new drum machine.
Junior Boys are indie darlings that hail from Hamilton. This song has a synth line that fills me with a desire to pack my bags and travel around the world. It's a powerful song that calls forth a barrage of images every time I listen to it. Great stuff.
See you soon.
