This Song Rocks: I


Original video located here. Accessed 10th November 2014

Song title: I

Artist: Kendrick Lamar

Year: 2014

Why I like this song:

I know the history of pop music is littered with songs built around self-loathing so to hear a song about self-respect is indeed a rarity.
You never hear the phrase 'I love myself' much in pop music and I believe we can thank the Divinyls for that....
Still, a rarity like this should be celebrated. And maybe this is something I could benefit from...

Choon of the Month: Swimming Pools (Drank)


Original video located here. Accessed 5th August 2013

Song title: Swimming Pools (Drank)

Artist: Kendrick Lamar

Year: 2012

Why I like this song:

It took me awhile to come around to this but I'm glad I did. It has a repetition that thuds and a moodiness that grabs the attention. Engaging indeed
