He Is by Ghost
Ghost is probably the most quirky band to have appeared in the metal scene in a while, with their unique blend of metal, 70s rock and Satanic lyrics. However, ridiculous this concoction may sound, it works amazingly well and the song He Is is the strongest proof of it. Like all Ghost songs, the track features some brilliantly layered instrumentation. The guitar melodies never fail to impress and the solo at the end is a highlight.
Alchemy by Mick Jenkins
Alchemy, the first song off the Waves EP, establishes Mick as a poet and not merely a rapper. The song is full of symbolisms, metaphors and clever lines like "creating this gold from the lead in my pencil, I think I'm an alchemist" which is sure to make it a favorite among rap fans and English teachers alike.
All That by Carly Rae Jepsen
All That is undoubtedly the most beautiful song ever recorded by Carly Rae Jepsen. The bass guitar slaps, and the piano and synth harmony clearly show a strong influence from Prince's early music (Controversy era), and I'm sure Prince too would be proud of this heart-wrenching ballad. The song's lyrics may sometimes seem a little cliche but the instrumentals and Carly's vocals do more than enough to make up for it.
High by Royal Headache
Royal Headache's new album, I feel, was the best of the week, each song being equally catchy, raw and energetic. The title track, however, stood out to me as the best written. The melody is catchy and Shogun's vocals are powerful.
Gimmie Love by Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion, is packed with "catchy-as-hell" tracks from the beginning till the end, but Gimmie Love is easily the catchiest of them all. It is simply impossible for a pop song to go wrong when it has such an unforgettable chorus.
