Dangerous Woman is Dangerously Good

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Natalie Padron |Staff Writer| Pop sensation, Ariana Grande, is finally back with her new album, "Dangerous Woman." After months of releasing singles and teasers, Grande shows off her more mature side with this album release. The 23-year-old singer expresses herself through dance hits and heartfelt lyrics with an experimental R&B sound. The first song on the album, "Moonlight," as well as the song, "I Don't Care," are very much a throw back to her last two albums, with their fuzzy doo-wop sound and beautiful crooning. The song, "Dangerous Woman," has proven to be a hit when it debuted in March at no.10 on Billboard's Hot 100. This single is something different for … [Read more...] about Dangerous Woman is Dangerously Good

April 19, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Misty Williams | Staff Writer |  Musiq Soulchild released his anticipated album "Life on Earth" On April 15. Musiq Soulchild, also known as Taalib Johnson is a gifted Neo-Soul artist who combines Jazz, Hip Hop, and Scatting all into one. The Philadelphia native was very creative and different with his album "Life on Earth," he incorporated the sound of jazz with pop, something he has never done before. "I think it was important and innovative because you have a lot of sameness going on. Not to talk down on anything or anyone, but after a while it creates a situation. It’s like, 'Do something else now.' Everyone can’t be doing the same thing and expecting the same response," … [Read more...] about Music Soulchild converts to pop child

The 1975’s rides the wave of funk

March 5, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Jaynene Moreno |Staff Writer| The 1975 released their second LP "I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It" on Feb. 26. Bold, audacious, and fearless are all words to describe what the band created with this masterpiece. The band made a daring move with the lengthy title choice itself. “Although I don’t like the title, I do think that it’s something unique to do. Albums are usually single worded, not a whole sentence long,” said student Manuel Macias. The album includes 17 creative songs—each of them have their own unique twist, different from what is typically heard in today’s pop culture. A mixture of genres are heard throughout the … [Read more...] about The 1975’s rides the wave of funk

November 4, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Justine Lopez | Staff Writer | The music industry needs to brace itself because Def Jam Recordings have officially signed a new artist who has taken over the charts. Alessia Cara debuted her first single, "Here," this April and has over 17 million views on YouTube.

Jonas's soft and high-pitched vocals make his voice stand out from other artists in the industry today. The album has received positive reviews from musical critics upon its release, and is becoming a hit among CSUSB students. CSUSB senior Marlen Hernandez … [Read more...] about Nick Jonas gets grown up and sexy on now album
