Ethan's Playlist 9/6/12

Well, today is the day for a playlist! If there are some people out there who don't like my genre playlist, do not worry, for today is a general playlist day! If you did not know September Music Month started this month. Lots of good albums will come out this month. Here they are: Sept. 4 Lecrae & Imagine Dragons, Sept. 11 Dave Matthews Band, Sept. 18 Tyler Ward & The Killers, Sept. 25 Mumford & Sons and Deadmau5.

1. [Bleeding Out] - Imagine Dragons

I found this band like a couple of months ago when their first digital EP came out, Continued Silence and just absolutely fell in love with their music and style. This is by far their best song, that I have found so far, and they are doing great on iTunes... Yay! Also, check out their also awesome song, It's Time.

2. [Free From It All (feat. Mathai)] - Lecrae

Yeah, Ethan didn't you mention that Lecrae's album came out September 4th... Wait that was 2 days ago! Yep! I was quite excited...  I am such a big fan of both Lecrae and Mathai. I think I like Mathai a little more... she has more plays on iTunes. Well, I really like this song and I think it is just great.

3. [So Sick] - Sam Tsui & Max Schneider

I really like both of these guys' voices. They are so good, and I thought they wouldn't really compliment each other, but they really do. This is such a good cover and the original is pretty cool too. I am glad they did this collaboration together, it is sooo good. This would have topped the list if I did a playlist a week ago.

4. [Broke] - Kye Kye

So my awesome friend, <cough> Caitlyn, just kidding... Katelyn, haha, told me about this alternative band called Kye Kye. Well, I kinda didn't look them up till recently, because honestly, I did not think they would be that great... well, they are not that great... They are amazing! I really like this song, and the best thing is, all the lyrics are Bible verses, besides an occasional added word or two. So Katelyn, thank you so much for telling me about Kye Kye :).

5. [With Ur Love] - Cher Lloyd

Ok, this is kinda poppy... Ok it is really poppy... I thinks it catchy... ish.. Ok its catchy and she's pretty awesome. I liked her X-Factor stuff waaay more, like her rapping... and Stay.. but this will do...

6. [Fortune Teller] - Maroon 5

This was my favorite song for like 2 weeks, but the last time I did a general playlist was longer than that. So, now it has decreased in ranking, but it is my favorite Maroon 5 song, behind Payphone, which I am not sick of, I am just sick of people not being sick of it. I was there listening to the song the first time ever by the public, downloaded it the same night, and was obsessed with it months before it was popular... yeah... done ranting.... but it is fun singing with others.

Ethan's Playlist 8/6/12 [Covers + Free Download]

Haha, I looked at my playlist on my iPad and pretty much all of it was covers! Topping the charts this week with covers is Tyler Ward and Sam Tsui! And just because I feel like it, I will blog a little bit about them. Free Download is under song #3!

1. [Want U Back] - Tyler Ward

Haha, I really liked Cher Lloyd on the X-Factor, but her latest single is kinda pop-y not rap, so I prefer Tyler's version to hers. His is really awesome! Kind of a rock version of it! "Oops, I was supposed to say him..."

2. [Titanium] - Sam Tsui

I liked Titanium before it became a hit and tried around looking for good covers of it, and 2 really stood out to me, Madilyn Bailey's and Sam Tsui's! I kinda figured out 5 days before the youtube video of Titanium came out that it was coming out because I saw it on iTunes. I was pretty excited and was really happy when it came out!

3. [Chapel] - Lindsey Pavao

Honestly, I have no idea who the original is by, I just know it isn't Lindsey's songs. I think this is the best song off her EP, Lucid. She is currently working on an album and raising support through Kickstarter <---- click here to support! Click on the word Chapel above between the [] to get the free download!

4. [(Kissed You) Goodnight {feat. Chester See}] - Tiffany Alvord

I really liked the original version and this version was pretty good. I really like Chester See's voice a lot. I sometimes like Tiffany's voice. I like it when it is ok for her voice not to have power, sorry not trying to hate on her.

5. [Stay] - Cher Lloyd

CHER! I really liked her on the X-Factor and I really liked this song in particular from the show. Yeah she can rap, but she didn't in this song. I think that's why it stood out to me. (This is not my work, I found this art on google and made it into an album cover)

6. [Some Nights] - Tyler Ward & Alex G

I really really like fun's original of Some Nights, I don't know why but it is really good! This stripped back version is so good as well! Alex's voice and Tyler's accompany each other really well.

7. [Payphone/Telephone] - Sam Tsui

I don't really like Telephone, but I love payphone and this mashup was awesome, I guess I can like this song.

 

8. [I Need My Hip Hop] - Tyler Ward & Kev Jumba

I NEED MY HIP HOP! No, I did not spell KevJumba wrong, Tyler did, unless Chester spelled it wrong on other iTunes stuff, haha. I totally thought that Tyler was kidding when he said he wanted to do a video with KevJumba, but apparently they are good friends... youtube is such a small world. This song is hilarious!
