Singing This Song Makes Me Dance

A new song I've been enjoying lately is "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolf and Lil Wayne. A fun song that combines synthesizer and guitars into driving rhythm, but keeps its hip-hop essence. Not really Rap Rock but could be called Pop Rock Rap. Here's a 70-second (radio-edit) clip:



I also have a new artist I've been enjoying. I've been listening to him for about 6 months, and this week heard him on the radio for the first time. I can't claim credit, though, Pandora introduced us. Pandora: like a Match.com for music fans. With a new album that's getting more support, you may soon hear of Brett Dennen. Here's a sample of his music I first heard about 6 months ago. From the album "So Much More" a clip of the song "The One Who Loves You the Most"



Brett's new album "Hope for the Hopeless" continues his mellow groove but the first single "Make You Crazy" adds an Afro-Beat with great effect, in my opinion. Groovy and upbeat, with culturally progressive lyrics:



Not bad for a red-headed white guy. I hope you enjoy him. His website streams several of his songs.

One more music note, there's no way I can talk about music this month without mentioning that the greatest rock band of all time released a new song. U2's first new song in 5 years was leaked last week so the band released the song on their website. The song and album cover art are HERE. I hope you have Bose speakers for your computer, because the steady beat is very Vertigo. For guys almost 50, they can still rock. I'll have much more to say when the album drops; till then I sit agog and get on my sexy boots...
