12. new song reviews 1

finally decided to do such a section, so adding in my past week's song reviews too.


lady gaga - the edge of glory
lady gaga becomes more abnormal by being more normal on this song, unlike the demonic "born this way" (4.5/5) and "judas" (4/5). the chorus totally sounded like a dance version of "my life would suck without you, while a saxophone solo was incorporated 3/4 way through, possibly to give it an 80s feel? it's probably a slight return of form after the underwhelming lead single and even more disappointing second single. but with first few singles being of such low standards, i don't believe the album can be as good as it's hyped to be.
rating: 4.5/5


arctic monkeys - don't sit down 'cause i've moved your chair
it's just not the same anymore. no longer the psychedelica i like. but it's not bad.
rating: 4/5


lady antebellum - just a kiss
this is undoubtedly lady antebellum's move to repeat the success of "need you now". my decree is that it will succeed, but not to the same extent. although this is neither as catchy nor emotional as "need you now", it is still the kind of song that will make people realise they haven't listened to ballads in a long long time admist all the hoo haa about lady gaga and other electropop artists.
reting: 5/5


beyonce - run the world (girls)
what the hell was she thinking? this song is of such unconventional catchiness. she must have been inspired by her own "video phone" when making this song. it's not a likely song i would listen to for leisure nor for dancing. it's just tribally odd to me.
rating: 4/5
