1.Frank Ocean, ‘Nostalgia, ULTRA I like this because I enjoyed the genre and the beat because it had a good drum feel cause of the intro which has a really good beat. Also the beat of the singing isn’t just random it has a actual beat. The vocalist actually makes you feel the music and what he’s trying to say because of the casualty in his voice.

2. tUnE-yArDs, ‘w h o k i l l. I like this because it has a pretty weird vocalist which makes the song really fun to listen because he changes the range of his voice from high to low alot. Also the instrumental is pretty good aswell because it has a mix of drums a really random music. The song in general kind of makes you feel scared but thats one of the reasons I like it because the original-ness.

3.Kanye West and Jay-Z, ‘Watch the Throne’. I think this is a good song because it starts off as a jazzy vocal then it gets into the rap.Also the music in the background is amazing because it guides the song into different stages even the though I don’t like that music in particular I think it classes the song up. The rappers our really professional(yes I’ve listen to their music before) and their is a real jazzy feel to it because of the combinations.

4.La Vida Boheme, ‘Nuestra. I like this album because of the amazing guitarist and drummer you can really hear their talent. Even though there isn’t much vocal and its in spanish I really like how the vocalist sings because it really feels like your watching them live. Also the many instruments in this music makes the song very fun to listen to.

5.James Blake, ‘James Blake’. I enjoyed listening to this album because the vocalist is really different from the background music cause his voice is really alternative and quiet. The dubstep tone is really cool and fun to listen to because its really different from the vocalist but it somehow matches it because the volume and type.  

So basically in music we have been working up to recording and performing a piece of music we have been practicing and if you click the link below you can hear my performance and my reflection.
