Human - The Killers

the killers

Their music is just beautiful. Another good track if you love alternative rock music, or just give it a try if you’re not. One thing so cool about their music is that it’s not easy to understand what is the exact meaning that their lyrics were trying to portray, and that’s totally fine as you’re already being blown away by the music itself… Not to forget, this is the second single of theirs being featured on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Damn they 'killed' it with this track. Lovely and dreamy!

Light On - David Cook

David Cook

The second single from the latest winner of American Idol. Big sign of relief on this release as finally there’s a track that manage to hit the mark of portraying him as a rocker. We know his vocal will sounds great no matter what tracks thrown at him, but that doesn’t mean the outcome would definitely be a powerhouse somehow. We love ‘The Time of My Life’, but it’s just not great enough, at least compared to this one. The rocker edge missing previously could definitely be found in this one, so he’s a rocker, there’s no doubt about it.

Rehab - Rihanna

rihanna

Who would have thought of this…she tied Shania Twain’s record back in 1997-2000, placing a total of eight singles from an album on the Hot 100 chart, with this being the eighth. Apparently, this is very Justin Timberlake (he wrote the track) but what’s even more thrilled is to see our girl managed to pull it off, pretty well. Another strong & solid one from her.

If I Were a Boy - Beyonce Knowles

The lead single from her latest album. I believe most of us would felt easily related to this one, especially the ladies. That irresistible powerful vocal of her, makes the story that she’s trying to tell even more convincing. There’s no doubt that this is the ‘elevated version’ of last year’s ‘Irreplaceable’. Will it be her next hit? Well it has the potential for that…Great effort, Beyonce!
...love the cover by the way...haha

Beautiful U R - Deborah Cox

Knowing not much about her, but it seems like she’s in the industry for quite sometime & had been doing great. Though this new one from her might sounds not much difference from any other conventional pop music, but the meaning and the messages that she’s trying to tell with this track, really relatable…not just for the girls, of course. Sometimes you just need some boost to keep going…

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon

kings of leon

If there’s a list for ‘10 rock bands to listen in 2008’, they’ll definitely make it based on this debut single of their latest album. The interesting about alternative rock music is that it doesn’t give you too much of what you can get from mainstream music, just enough to ‘ignite your appetite’, and yet still maintained the edge of rock music should have; and not to forget something cool (something significant) that sets them apart from the others. It is amazing when this single manages to meet all these elements, with the mind-blowing’ tune and that edgy vocal.
Another great rock number in 2008? Why not?

Poker Face - Lady Gaga

The newest pop dance diva? Time will tell…

But one thing is for sure, she’s doing great so far with her music. Think the lead single is already good enough to name her the future star of pop, or dance, well wait until you have this one. Heavier beats, stronger tunes, definitely fits the criteria of being a great dance track. Looks like we will have an alternative for dance music, if we continuously being amazed by her music. We love the beat, but we’re hoping they’re not just keep on repeating…
