Anjulie - Boom

Genre: Pop

Anjulie - Boom by ModerneFusion



Anjulie is actually quite famous already. Since I am not in the loop with all these tv series and stuff, I actually don't know the popular songs that are usually played in them, but apparently Anjulie has already won a few awards and has her song featured in shows such as the Vampire Diaries, Melrose Place, and Canada's Next Top Model. Anyway, Aside from that I think her album's quite good. It's a very happy-go-lucky kind of album that has songs that could potentially be very predictable crappy pop songs, but because she adds a little of her own flavor to it, it does sound very mainstream but different in a good way. Just give this song a listen and let me know what you think :)

By the way, does anybody think she sounds like Nelly Furtado?

Mark Ronson ft. Lily Allen - Oh My God

Genre: Alternative Pop

02 Mark Ronson Ft. Lily Allen - Oh My God by ModerneFusion

Favorite line: "I'll Come back stronger than a powered up batman"

All I can say is Mark Ronson never fails to impress. He comes up with the freshest beats and this time he made it a little more Jazzy with the saxophones. The song is very well done and Lily Allen's voice really suits the beats Mark Ronson made for her voice. I really enjoyed listening to this song and it's definitely fun to listen to when you're travelling or just far away from home ;P

On a side note, does anyone think this guy is probably some sort of style icon? it seems like he can really pull off a bunch of funky looks. I mean this picture doesn't do it justice, but in my previous post Mark Ronson & the Business Intl - Bang Bang, he can wear a yellow suit and still look cool in it :P If you don't agree with me now, later I will post his latest single and show you how he still looks cool with bleached blonde hair!

I hope you're all enjoying your weekends!!

Tinashé - Pieces of Paper

Genre: Alternative, Pop

09-tinashe-pieces of paper by ModerneFusion

There was a phase where I really liked this guy's songs and had his album on loop for a day. Anyway, I wanted to post this song after reading various quote pictures on MoneyNaoPlz's blog. I have to say that this song kind of relates to the quotes and my past perspective on life. It really does feel like we're constantly working and in search of something that we don't even know of. Like one example is the discussion of "Passion" for a career, after much discussion, I believe it's an idea created by this western culture to make your desires insatiable. It's almost too hard to be happy if you think you will find it in a job or any other tangible thing. In comparison to the old days, they just did their jobs and thought nothing of it, now with all these options and choices, we want the "perfect" job even though the education system makes jobs look like work that is not fun. So really, why are we working for pieces of paper when the lifestyle only consists of working, buying, consuming, then dying? 

After much pondering, these thoughts may be quite pessimistic because I personally think that no matter what, there are always things to look forward to. I think in the end it all comes down to: if you see all these negativity, then change it by changing yourself. You might think since this is the doing of the modern/western culture that we should just move elsewhere, but there is an old latin saying that says even if you change your surroundings and environment, it does not change the environment within you. So ya, lets all be happy happy joy joy :)

P.S. Let me know about your perspective on the concept of having a passion for your job or life in general in the comment box blow! :)

Dr. Dre - Turn me on

Genre: G-funk, Hip Hop

Dr. Dre - Turn Me On by ModerneFusion

I know that there are a lot of people out there who really hate rap, but I honestly think it's because of your exposure to mainstream rap that you can't really stand the ridiculously cheesy and crappy lyrics, horrible rhymes, and annoying rappers that laugh at their own smart-ass lines *cough cough*. ANYWAY, I believe Dr.Dre is probably one of the only rappers that you can still call BOSS, he actually works hard on his beats and try to incorporate some nice old school stuff with the new sounds. Unfortunately this track is only 2 minutes long but I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially while I was driving home feeling good about my psychology midterm :D

By the way, I'd like to thank you all for those who had given me feedback for the blog, and I am currently considering on putting a very minimalistic/simplistic wallpaper with some subtle hues, a nice logo/banner, and maybe try to figure out some widgets so I might be able to put all my posted songs into a playlist for those who just want to afk on my webpage as they listen to some jams. But anyway, hopefully I will get started on these after my midterm tomorrow. Thank you for all your comments and I hope to hear lots from you guys :)

Jean Honeymoon ft. Dowty Ebi - Bang Bang

Genre: Chillout, Lounge

13 - Jean Honeymoon vs. Dowty Ebi - Bang Bang (Rap Version) by ModerneFusion

Since I couldn't find a picture of the two artists together, I decided to post a picture of one of my favorite artists, Takeshi Murakami. He was the artist who did various designs for Louis Vuitton and also the album cover for Kanye West's album with that bear. Anyway, this song really reminds me of my previous post of Imogen Heap ft. Urban Species, there's just something about the combination of a woman's beautiful voice with some mellow rapping that just makes it sound so good. I kind of don't like the rap at times because sometimes it seems like he's just saying random things that don't add to the song at all, but nevertheless I really enjoyed this song. Hope you guys enjoy it too :)

Edit:

(For those who love this track and would like to support the artists, you can download the mp3 track on amazon. The version without the rapper: Bang Bang & the version featuring Dowty Ebi Bang Bang)

**Note: I was wondering if any of you could give me some feedback about this website? Like should I change the layout? Add my own banner and logo? Keep it the way it is? Post about other media stuff like fashion/comedy and etc. other than just music? Let me know! :)**

Teriyaki Boyz ft. Pharrell & Busta Rhymes - Zock On!

Genre: J-Hip Hop

TERIYAKI BOYZ - 9. ZOCK-ON! feat.PHARRELL & BUSTA RHYMES by ModerneFusion

After reading a comment from the last post, I've realized that aside from my SOIL & Pimp Sessions Japanese Jazz post that I didn't really post a lot of Asian music. Since I know that it's really hard to get into songs that have lyrics that you can't understand, I thought it'd be nice to post some Japanese Hip Hop by yours truly, the Teriyaki Boyz. The reason why I chose these guys is because they're actually very immersed in American culture so a lot of their songs have generally the same formula with a Japanese twist. For those who think they sound quite familiar, these are the guys who rapped the theme song for the movie Fast&Furious:Tokyo Drift. Anyway, I understand if you don't like their songs at first, because I didn't, but really you have to listen to them with an open mind and not take them too seriously, it's all about just having fun when you listen to their songs. There will be one day where you're too busy doing something that you won't have the time to change the song on your mp3 player so you will just listen to the song all the way through then realize that it actually grows on you :P

Note: Has anyone noticed that the Asian hip hop scene is WAY ahead of America? I mean these guys already started wearing sunglasses in clubs WAY before any songs in America even thought about incorporating electronic sounds into their beats. Anyway, I just think it's really weird how fashion/music fads get passed around so much without us even noticing. Like you go to Europe and laugh at those people who wear extremely bright colored pants and etc. Then after a few years you start seeing people wear them over here and it's cool and preppy. Anyway, I am just blabbing, enjoy the song! :)

Thank you all so much for reading my blog and commenting. If you have any feedbacks please feel free to drop a comment! 

Bet.e - Sky is Falling

Genre: Latin Pop (basically Jazz, Vocal, Lounge, etc.)

02-bet.e-sky is falling by ModerneFusion

Hopefully this song will help you all with your post-Halloween relaxation :) Bet.e is an extremely gifted artist, she's got a very deep soothing voice and she can speak English, French, and Spanish! Anyway, most of her songs in her album vary since they're basically multilingual and take different sounds from each culture. I highly recommend giving her album a listen if you enjoy this sort of smooth jazzy and lounge feel with more emphasis on her voice.

(If you really enjoy listening to Bet.E's voice and would like to support the artist, you can purchase her album B. Coming on amazon)
