Song of the Week: Lights Remix
June 2, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts & Entertainment Editor
Ellie Goulding is just the latest development in the increasing influx of talented female British vocalists peddling their wares Stateside. Fitting then, that Bassnectar, an American dubstep DJ who is peddling another fast-growing trend, gives Goulding a leg up in the game with his remix of her song...
Song of the Week: “Judas”
May 23, 2011 • Sasha Tycko, Print Editor-in-Chief
Lady Gaga’s raucous, glass-shattering anthem “Judas” is a far cry from her earlier “Just Dance” days. Her lyrics are more substantial, her singing is wilder and her outfits are more bizarre than ever. In the controversial hit, Gaga explores the relationship between Jesus and Judas, ultimately...
Song of the Week: The Wilhelm Scream by James Blake
May 9, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
In light of the Dubstep article in the April 28 issue of The Pitch, it is only fitting that the song of the week should be a Dubstep song. However, “The Wilhelm Scream” by James Blake is far from a prototypical dubstep, incorporating elements of jazz to make a more subdued, soulful sound. A “Wilhelm...
Song of the Week: No Me Voy a Morir by Belanova
April 11, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
Although Lady Gaga strives to put on a flashy and spirited act, the fact exists that, outside of America, American style pop is being done bigger and better. Enter Mexican pop trio Belanova, who are known in America for their 2007 hit “Baila Mi Corazon.” They take American fashion, stereotypes, and...
Song of the Week: Rolling in the Deep by Adele
March 18, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
Since the early retirement of Amy Winehouse, British female neo-blues singing has taken a huge blow. However, several new UK singers like Florence and the Machine and Little Boots appear ready to pick up the torch. But no one is as prepared to keep the growing sub-genre going than Adele, who recently...
Song of the Week: Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
March 8, 2011 • Sasha Tycko, Print Editor-in-Chief
Like movies and novels, music is characterized by the principles of buildup and release. A good musician plays the role of god, toying with the audience to craft an emotional journey. Imogen Heap assumes this role with flawless perfection on the track “Hide and Seek.” The beauty of this song is in...
Song of the Week: Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa
February 18, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
It seems successful rappers are branching out into other musical genres, one recent example being Kanye West’s recent album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was peppered with influences ranging all over the musical spectrum. And no one has benefited more conspicuously from this uncharacteristic...
Song of the Week: I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness
February 14, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
Ah, rock n’ roll. The 2000’s have not been particularly kind to you. With developments such as Buckcherry and 3 Days Grace that make rock seem like an obscure, trashy, mentally deficient subculture of music, featuring choruses that only appeal to, and could easily have been written by 12 year-olds. Just...
Song of the Week: Underwater Love by Smoke City
January 20, 2011 • Cami Keyani, Staff Writer
Ever since The Beatles made history with “Yellow Submarine,” it seems that popular music and the sea have been irrevocably connected. From the childish throes of “Under the Sea” and “SpongeBob SquarePants” to the unforgettable “Come Sail Away” by Styx, a fascination with the great blue...
Song of the Week: Separate Ways by Journey
January 18, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
In that odious pile of E-feces that was Tron: Legacy, one redeeming feature stuck out above the rest. And no, gentlemen, I don’t mean my future bride, Olivia Wilde, I am referring to the movie’s soundtrack. Though mostly composed by Techno duo Daft Punk, the soundtrack also includes classic rock...
