“Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” by Miley Cyrus
Miley released this remake originally made famous by Led Zeppelin,
written upon its 1969 release. Miley’s cover of the song proves her
talent. Led Zeppelin’s version is brilliant, yet dull, while Miley’s
cover shows how strong her voice is. Her voice stands bold against the
beat of the drums and outstanding guitar riffs. One could say that a
song by Led Zeppelin and sounds like Led Zeppelin should only be
performed by them. Their sound is iconic. It is understandable that
Miley would cover them, and she did a beautiful job.
“Often” by The Weekend
The Weekend could be considered iconic for being so young and this
influential on R&B. His new hit “Often” portrays sexuality with social
acceptance. This hit is possibly pushing the limits, however, the
young singer sure pulls it off. With a voice that is romantic, it
automatically attracts listeners of both genders. The slow but hard
beat compliments his vocals well. The Weekend’s voice is extremely
emotional in this song giving a sense that people can relate. The song
is mellowed, proving mixed emotions and feelings.
“Ultraviolence” by Lana Del Rey
Lana’s newest album shows her talent on a whole new level. Her hyper-
stylized glamour queen style comes out along with her American
culture. Her song “Brooklyn Baby” shows her rough edge. A modern love
story comes to life with Lana’s wide range of vocals. “West Coast”
takes after Stevie Nick’s southern California vibe, while “Money,
Power ,Glory” The song symbolizes revenge. She is out to get a rich
man for all he is worth, after what he had done. Overall, this album
was a definite success and one of Lana’s best.
“The Endless River” by Pink Floyd
The album was a great success. Pink Floyd is one of the most iconic
bands of all time, and their come back withstands that. “Talkin
Hawkin” seems to be favored by deep thinkers. The song features Steven
Hawking talking about the world’s way of communication and what needs
to be changed. One could only imagine what change to music there is to
come. Their trippy rock sound may bring back some hope for this
generation.
