 Die With A Smile- Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars

The time has finally come for me to listen to Bruno Mars' other big collaboration. I will admit I didn't connect with this as much as I would like, but I won't deny it's a very accomplished song. The chemistry between Mars and Gaga is felt throughout the song and the lyrics are very affective. I say that because we hear lyrics like this all the time and they should come off as generic. But here, they're charming and passionate (which means the singers did a very good job with typical lyrics). I respect that.


 
 You Carried Me- Jekalyn Carr

So this is my second time reviewing Jekalyn Carr's work. Like the previous song we just talked about, this song is also very accomplished. It has many great qualities such as Carr's vocals and the harmonies (which I'm a sucker for). But I feel like it could've pushed just a little bit harder in some ways. For example, she just says "you carried me" most of the time throughout the song. In terms of bringing people to God, in my opinion it's not very affective. Maybe if it had a stronger hook or sung in a way that sticks, it would be stronger. But don't rely on strong vocals and singing the same thing over and over again.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
