Welcome to Heartbreak - Kanye West feat. Kid Cudi

The drama in his music is absolutely brilliant. And somehow that really set him apart from the typical hip-pop music that we are familiar with. Lot of memorable pieces that we can have from his latest album, and this could definitely be one of them. The next one up to be selected as his latest single? Hopefully, as it does has potential to be a great one. He just nailing it when it comes to slow-tempo electro-hip hop music isn’t he?

Magnificent - U2

They’re back and scored with this one, finally. Their music always did really good job telling us what U2 is all about, and have that unique style that hardly found on other bands. We had that not so overwhelming first one, but it’s thrilled that they make it back up again with this one. Really settle, and just simple. It’s not ‘Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own’’s moving, but still it has a certain level of emotions in it. They nailed it, finally.

All I Ever Wanted : Kelly Clarkson (sneak peak)

Get ready for the next featured artist of OnPlay! : Kelly Clarkson! Full review of her latest album, All I Ever Wanted, will be here soon!

Don't Trust Me - 3OH3

3OH!3 came up with this single back in 2008, but wasn’t until recently that it became a big hit. It has a strong potential to be another radio-friendly hit, with all the elements in the track works pretty well. It’s fun, young, quirky, fully packed with the energy and the most important one, it do really showcase their personalities to the fullest. Strongly recommended if you’re a fan of electronic pop music, or just want something different in your playlist.

I Do Not Hook Up - Kelly Clarkson

Yet another fresh combination that showcases the best of both Kelly and Katy. Katy’s significant music style and Kelly’s big, powerful vocal complemented each other to the fullest, and could be highlighted as two of the strongest ‘selling point’ of the single. The potential is definitely there for this to be the next big hit for Kelly after her first one. Great for her!

F**k You - Lily Allen

Alright the name of the track itself might be a little bit off, but the track itself, somehow turns out to be another way round. It’s very impressive as she manages to sing the harsh word on and on and on without letting you feel uncomfortable or uneasy. Love the fun in the music and the track does feel fresh, cute and she definitely nailed it. Lily Allen is definitely another name to be watch out for!

Only By the Night : Kings of Leon (Part II)

by Kyan.

The second half of the album begins with the track called ‘Revelry’, it wasn’t the love in the first ‘listen’ track personally, as somehow it lack the pump that I looked for in a single. But still, it wasn’t a bad one. Just that I still don’t get why they chose this to be their third single from the album. ‘17’ can be seen as one of their more settled music and it didn’t run wild or get really big like their featured singles, or perhaps some of the tracks in the first half of the album. And that continues with the next track, ‘Notion’, which still manages to showcase Caleb’s vocal. It wasn’t disappointing, just that it’s a bit underwhelming, somehow. And the mood started to get more and more settle, tend to get ‘lazy’ with ‘I Want You’. The contrast of the mood created by the music can’t be too much and imbalance or it will become the downfall for the entire album. And emotion started to be pump up with ‘Be Somebody’, with an interesting music arrangement, jumping of the beat from one speed to another. Another fresh one. The album ended perfectly with the last track, ‘Cold Dessert’; something that you would definitely put into your goodnight track list. It started perfectly and of course ended perfectly as well. The tracks in the album succeed in telling us who is Kings of Leon, in general.
