For those who know me on a personal basis, you will know music plays an important role within my life. I constantly play music around me, from my car radio to my Sony Walkman mp3 player which goes EVERYWHERE with me. My taste in music is not for everyone it mainly consists of RnB and chart music, which has earnt me the label of "the chav" by my best friend Louise.
Anyway back to the point of this Blog post, I thought I'd share with you some Artists that I'm really enjoying this week;
Firstly is Chipmunks new single, Champion featuring Chris Brown

The song is basically about Chipmunk putting two fingers up to the people who doubted him, hes basically saying I'm here, I made it, I'm a champion. A refreshing perception he gives in the sing is his knowledge of the fact that he can be taken off his pedestal at any time, by the people who made him who he is and that's why, Champion is basically saying you've got to work for what you want, you need to push yourself to achieve what you want in life, instead of making do with what you've got.
Champion was the first time I'd witnessed Chris Brown rap, I was pleasantly surprised in how well he did so, this is an aspect I'd really like him to use on his own material.
Next is a woman called Jessie J, she burst onto the scene late 2010 with her song "Do It Like a Dude", and now her follow up single "Price Tag" has landed straight at number one .

I personally think Jessie J is one of the hottest new artists England has at this present time, she seems to have the whole package having written all of the material off her album, she was also responsible for Miley Cyrus's hit song "Party in The USA". Not just a pretty face ah?
I really like the message Jessie conveys with her single "Price Tag", Money shouldn't the centre of everyone's world, people need to be reminded of how to have fun. One of my favorite lines from the song has to be "And it wasn't low blows and video hoes, Am I the only one gettin...tired", a subtle way of suggesting that she doesn't have to rely on the apparent sexiness other artists use to be a success, mentioning no names (BRITNEY SPEARS).
The last artist I want to mention is Nicki Minaj, she's not for everyone but I absolutely LOVE her and I personally think her album "Pink Friday" is one of the best out in the charts at the moment.

Anyway that's me done for today, obviously the sort of music I love is not going to appeal to everyone but I think you always have to be open minded when it comes to music, its a powerful thing. xxxx
