I discovered a lot of music while abroad that I love love love now that I’m 99% I would’ve never discovered if not for going abroad. I particularly fell in love with female pop singers. I love me my Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, but I found the music that was coming out in the UK fresher/edgier. So I’m posting some of my favorites in case you’re interested in getting a bit more into music that maybe isn’t popular in the US but has enjoyed quite a bit of success across the pond.
I feel like the only word I can think of to describe this song is “nasty”. I just think of a sweaty and grimy club in, like, Manchester or something. This may be due to the music video. And maybe “swag”.
I’m so terrible at describing things. I guess it’s a little reggae…..ish? I don’t know. But awesome song nonetheless. It makes me want get up and move. Though I still like the above song more.
The word “swag” definitely comes into play again here. “Price Tag” enjoyed some success here but this song is WAY better and WAY different. So don’t judge Jessie J based on “Price Tag”. This song has lots of profanity, so I particularly enjoy singing along to it. It also kind of makes you want to punch something.
Nicola Roberts “Beat Of My Drum”
Fucking love this girl. She was part of Girls Aloud. It’s pure pop fun. It just makes me so happy. And DAMN girl has got some legs!
More pure pop fun. But still different from the above song. Except her legs. Still amazeballs. If you like Nicola Roberts, I also suggest checking out “Sticks + Stones” and “Yo-Yo”.
