New Music I'm Digging

While I've been posting a lot of recap's of the concerts I've gone to over the years, I haven't posted about what I'm actually listening to in awhile.  Here's some newer stuff that I've hit replay on a lot lately.

Adele


Like the rest of the world, I'm in love with Adele and pretty much everything she does.  Her new single "Hello" is everything, I mean EVERYTHING!  I'm stating the obvious, how can this woman do any wrong?

Kip Moore


I feel like I am way late to the party on country singer Kip Moore.  I saw him perform earlier this year on an awards show and was intrigued and thought I'd check him out.  His new CD is called Wild Ones and it's a solid album, front to back!

Some of my favorite tracks are:
  • "Magic" I love the sweeping melodies in this song and the lyric "When your hair fails down raining glitter and gold" 
  • "Lipstick" There's something about this song that has the slightest Richard Marx 80's feel to it, and I mean that in the best way
  • "Comeback Kid" This is a quiet song, but in such a beautiful way.  I love the choir sound in the chorus.
I could really list his whole CD, but will leave it to just these three!


Leona Lewis


I have been a fan of Leona's the instant I heard "Bleeding Love".  She has such an incredible voice and I think is a bit underrated in America.  Her new CD I Am is a pretty solid pop album.

Some of my favorite tracks are:
  • "Thank You" This is a beautiful simple song.  Leona starts out solo and while the music does come in along with a choir, it is a very beautiful song about gratitude.
  • "I Am" A dance track that builds during the choruses.  I could easily see this song being great for a movie or television show.
  • "The Essence of Me" I really love the music and rhythm in this song.  Definitely a song that I sing to, with dramatic arm motions in the car!
I was lucky enough to meet her recently at our local Aloft Hotel and I can attest, she sounds just amazing live and is so nice!

I didn't know we were going to be able to meet her as well, wish I would have known so I could have cleaned up a little bit!
