Set fire to the rain: Is the third single of Adele’s super hit “21”
Set fire to the rain is like a railroad with a super engine of soul, at the beginning it goes slow, telling us how the tragedy began, and goes moving forward to accelerate and finally bursts into flames for a lost love.
Adele’s voice leaves no holes in the heart, and the connection that she made with public, particularly with this song, is unique. Adele is real, and the love tragedy that she lived feels close, so inevitably I can’t help watch her cry while the memory of that man is burning with her heart’s tears.
Yoü and I: Gaga decided to release as her fourth single the only ballad of the expected “Born this way”; in this time, Gaga refugees in Nebraska to show that she doesn't just know to talk about sex and fashion, things that constantly haunt her head. This girl knows how to make things, and with very clear tempos of “we will rock you” courtesy of Mercury, all the pure love that she feels for that so special guy for whom she could make her hills bleed.
Is the first single that talks about a sincere love, pure, special and not about artistic visions, minorities defense or points of view about life, is just Gaga’s heart, refugee in a crudely eighties sound that no only pretends shout out the love that exist just between two people. And how not to love her in the video, is Gaga+ Joe Calderon+ thousands of dresses+ Mermaids , everything served in the same plate.
Beat of my drum: I like it when a girl takes serious the pop and to survive she takes refuge in it and reinvent it. This particular song is daring, sexy and sticky but what makes the difference is Roberts’ voice, which makes it sound less commercial and more sophisticated. No doubt about it, Roberts will not be for the masses because, though she is pop, the condiments around it are not particularly the most generic but definitely she has been crowned as Queen, among figures as Roisin Murphy & Robyn, that implicitly, are the girls who show before anyone which will be the next heels to dance.
Her confidence in her aspect has grown, along with the authenticity of her music, and “Beat of my drum” is prove of it.
Smile: It’s always so exciting for me to listen to an album for the first time, but even more when it is about Miss Lavigne, and listening for the first time “Goodbye Lullaby” I hooked from the first moment with “Smile”, and it’s not expected, it’s the most soft rock sound of the album. Smile is almost completely different from all of her singles, in which the complaint and rebellion are the main topics; it talks about those characters that we never know how the hell from one moment to another we just can’t stop thinking about. It’s happy, direct and the guitar chords are what consolidate the “Lavigne” gender, copied by many, but never equaled, because there is just one crown, and it just can be claimed by this girl who in just one song she calls herself a bitch, talks about an alcohol and tattoos night and yet, she can easily talk about love and butterflies in the stomach.
Wish you were here: Generally speaking, always are more the moments when you miss somebody, than those in which in fact you’re with that person. Wish you were here talks about that, is that point somewhere in between the antique sound, and the now more acoustic sound of Avril. No doubt about it is the most honest that I’ve heard her talk about, and it’s impossible to deny it when you listen to her to say:
There´s a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
You´ve just walked through it
Avril let her guard down and shows herself vulnerable, her repressed claim is what gives impulse to this ballad, gives it sense and makes it different among the sea of singles that talks about love, why?
Just because it is honest.
That’s why the new sensation in the way she performs. The skater girl has grown up, she feels and suffers the true love that we generally always wish it is around us, all the time.
