Song of The Week - #2 (Run)

This weeks selection of song of the week is "Run" by Leona Lewis.  This is a cover of Snow Patrol's original version.  It is absolutely beautiful.  At first, I doubted that Leona was the "new Whitney".. but now I am starting to believe all the positive reviews.  This song just touches the soul and especially at the end gives me chills!  I have downloaded the live version and it is really good as well.  

check out the song here...

Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreak

I friggin' love this album.  It is certainly a departure for Kanye who usually writes the pop hits that we all sing at parties.  This is a more introspective record filled with regret and emotion.  It sounds far more like an indie record and it is just perfect for those of us who stay up really late at night.  It's really easy to hate on Kanye but this album was a real risk and it shows that he is a true artist, even if this album fails commercially.  I think it's just wonderful and a surprise standout at the end of the year!  

at the very least, download the songs Heartless and Robocop.

No Time

Hi everyone, I have no time to post on this for the next little while because I have papers and exams due.  In a little while I will be posting a lot again, so don't worry.. I'll be back.

I just thought I'd leave you with a pick of Britney Spears, who seems to be taking control of her life.  Makes me happy!

Happy Listening
