SONG REVIEW- DEMI LOVATO, COOL FOR THE SUMMER

  It seems that time of year where a lot of pop artists realease new singles intended to be the “song of the summer”. Selena Gomez just recently did it and now Demi Lovato follows hot on her trail. But unlike Gomez’s sexy new single there’s something missing from Demi’s. I’ve never been a fan but I admit this girl has talent. Which begs the question as to why she would make a song so cliche and with lyrics so childish. Upon first listen I instantly thought this song was about having a fling with another girl and still think that to this day. The beats for the track are great, which is why it’s sad Demi decided to use clichéd lyrics and vocal ranges for them. “Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind” is just an example of the simplicity. And yet it took about 5 people to write this song. I don’t have a doubt that this song will perform well simply because Demi is a big name artist but I wonder how many will be pleased with this 8th grade girl crush track. 

ALBUM REVIEW- SAINT MOTEL, MY TYPE EP

 This review isn’t about a recent album because I’ve been away at summer camp and haven’t had a chance to post a whole lot but I recently downloaded this EP and can’t stop listening to it. Saint Motel’s My Type is pure perfection. The songs are funky and weird and you can’t help but move to them. The song “My Type” gives off an 80’s feel with punny lyrics like “you’re just my type- you’ve got a pulse and you are breathing”. The other three songs are great as well and I encourage you to listen to the EP I can’t wait for the full length album. I’ve never heard of them until discovering this extended play but I’m definitely now a fan of this 80’s inspired rock group. Keep doing what you do Saint Motel.
