The 1975-Love Me

This week, the 1975 released the first single from their upcoming album, I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It. The song has a strong 80's feeling to it, and I'm not sure if that is going to be a theme of this album, but with the artwork along with the new album and sound to "Love Me," it certainly seems that way. The two parts of the song that I love is the synthesizers that come in at the beginning that really give it an 80's pop song, and Mat Healy's voice in this song. This song sounds fun and easy to get into. He has a relaxed tone to his voice, yet says powerful lines like "You've got a beautiful face, but got nothing to say."

Miley Cyrus-Hands of Love

One of the most controversial pop stars, Miley Cyrus, released "Hands of Love" this week, which will be featured in the soundtrack to the new movie, Freeheld. It makes perfect sense that Miley would sing for an LGBT when she has been running her foundation in support of homeless LGBT youth. Normally, I am not a fan of Cyrus. It seems as if she tries too hard to stand out, however it makes her more obnoxious than anything. However, "Hands of Love" is very enjoyable. Miley slows it down with this slow ballad as she drags out certain lines such as "who we are comes to life." Miley's voice is seemingly perfect for the soft piano versus and powerful enough to belt out the choruses. If Miley would keep making songs like this, I think I would enjoy her much more!
