Music Obsessions – March 2018

March is my birthday month, which puts me in a right mood to just share a lot of stuff I’ve been enjoying. I’ve been still in the nostalgic phase where I’m diving into a lot of older music. However, I did end up finding some old music that is new to me and The Voice is back so I’ve been catching up with some music on that front as well. No The Voice contestant has stood out yet to me and performances and such so nothing on this one. Let’s just hop right in!

Medicine – Kelly Clarkson

I really love Kelly  Clarkson. She has a fantastic voice. Its nice to see her as a coash on The Voice this year. There’s been so many great moments. Medicine is so catchy and honestly, its been just on repeat.

Be Ur Man – Alan Kuo

Alan Kuo came back on my radar lately because of TV series OCTB. The TV binge is coming up for that one. I’ve always thought that he’s really good since his first album and he’s definitely improved a ton, even in the maturity of his music and lyrics. This one is a nice fun one.

Justin Timberlake vs. Brittany Spears Mash-Up – Sam Tsui, Madilyn Bailey & Kurt Hugo Schneider

I love mash-ups and Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears both has some good music. However, this one is pretty fun to listen to. I can’t say a lot of recent music has really been that good so I’m listening back to older music. Yes, it applies to the new Justin Timberlake music that I’ve heard so far (which is like only 2 songs in the album). Go ahead and gasp but its just my opinion, at least for now.

OCTB Main Theme – 大丈夫 (rearranged from 1976 original)

OCTB is my new favorite series that I’ve seen lately. I’ll talk all about it in the upcoming posts. This series was born out of the passion to make Hong Kong film and TV as great as back in the day and was launched for free as a web series then was picked up by Netflix. Just like much of the soundtrack in OCTB, it uses a few older songs. The theme was originally a song from a 1976 movie and is now rearranged and resang by the cast of OCTB and just works so well here and I love it.

House of Cards – KSHMR (feat. Sidnie Tipton) 

I’ve already talked about my love for electronic music and KSHMR so this one is not my fave but doesn’t disappoint as always.

That’s it for this Music Obsessions!
Hope you like it!

Steve’s Music Mix: What Am I On…?

I’ve been doing Steve’s Music Mix for a few weeks now.  I’m sure a lot of you already know how it works.

In a nutshell, Steve at Steve Says… chooses three questions and we put our music players (IPod, MP3, etc) on shuffle and we say the questions and whatever song it lands on, thats the answer to that question.

Got it?

Lets see if my MP3 is being cooperative this week, shall we? 😉

I’m on…?

–>A Dream – Common

I’m always dreaming, so I guess thats right.  I’m working on a dream as well and aiming to fulfill my dreams.  Most days, I feel like I’m on a dream.

*Confused yet? If that made no sense, its the cold meds, ok?*

I’m in…?

–>Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) – Kelly Clarkson

If you look at the context of the song, no, I’m not in a breakup and recovering.  Or maybe if you look at my job, I guess I’m in that phase right now: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I guess that works.

I’m over…?

–>In The Dark – Tiesto ft. Christian Burns

I’m pretty sure I’m still mildly scared of the dark but I guess, I could take it that I’m over needing someone to be with me in the dark? Or maybe, just that I’m over the life I had when I was obsessed with this song because that caused a lot more bad than good, although I still love it but in a completely different way 😉

The answers are stretching it a little this time but I’ve had a less cooperative MP3 player before so I’m going to be content that it didn’t go completely nonsensical on me.
