Hip Online music biographies, reviews interviews A Hard Day s Night explodes out of the gate and is an interesting type of song in that it doesn t fit the normal formula of verse-chorus-verse. It is impossible not to love. The mix of Lennon and McCartney s voices brings an entirely new Beatles to the forefront. And they don t stop their insane pace of hard-charging rock songs like Tell Me Why And, this album is the first to have no cover songs. It s 100% The Beatles. I Should Have Known Better is simple and wonderful. The quality of a song can be pretty easy in that the measure being walk away from a song for five minutes and see how much of it you can remember singing in your head. This album is filled with unforgettable songs. The Beatles perfect the ballad with If I Fell and And I Love Her. Can t Buy Me Love is another track that shows the sky was the limit for The Beatles. You Can t Do That and I ll Be Back round out what is a really strong album. The few cover are significantly better on With The Beatles versus Please Please Me. Classic covers include: Please Mr. Postman, Roll Over Beethoven and You Really Got A Hold On Me. As simple, and silly, as I Wanna Be Your Man sounds, Ringo brings an absolute gem. It s almost as if Ringo designed the foundation of the early Beatles sound with his first two songs. He may not get the credit he deserves. The album is full of filler like Not A Second Time and Devil In Her Heart. Misery and Anna (Go To Him) is completely forgettable. You can see early days and signs where The Beatles are going but nothing here would indicate they d be massive stars aside from I Saw Her Standing There. If anything, songs like Chains make John Lennon sound like a Buddy Holly knock-off. Ringo s version of Boys is one of the highlights. As you get towards the end the hits come big with Please Please Me and Love Me Do. From a modern era view, it s interesting how late in the album these songs come. I guess in the era of turning a record over it makes sense that you flip the album and don t get a bunch of clunkers. but Please Please Me is the last song on side one with Love Me Do as the first song of side two. Another Beatles original Do You Want To Know A Secret is a wonderful classic. All the cover songs, Baby It s You, Chains and Anna are all weak at best but the Beatles were not full-on songwriters so it makes sense. It is surprising that songs by world-class songwriters weren t as good as the Beatles originals. And in the end, John Lennon does rock the hell out of Twist and Shout which shows how their years at The Cavern Club honed his craft. It s nearly impossible to describe it. But there isn t one song on Pet Sounds that doesn t have it. I defy you to listen and not fall in love as every song comes on with a sound that is bigger than most artists ever attempt.Take the beautiful opening of Wouldn t It Be Nice with its tinkling majesty and then the harmonies kick in. This song is only 2:25 minutes and yet packs the punch of an epic.This continues over and over throughout the entirety of the album. Pet Sounds is a lesson for any artist who wants to make an album from beginning to end. The thing is if you were an artist who listened and wanted to replicate there is nothing easy about this. Four guys with standard instruments could never replicate the awesomeness of what is one, if not the, greatest modern albums of all time.And then there is dissonance in Don t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) that is rare for this album but it is a good change in mood. Again, the challenge is for you to listen and not fall in love with the despair filled with vocals that make you close your eyes and get lost.And Brian Wilson tells you that the moment of despair is all but gone once he launches into I m Waiting For The Day. Remember when you fell in love and they were in love with someone else? Brian Wilson comes in and sells it soft but then hard charges into the convincer and it s full of nothing but glory. It sends shivers and produces goosebumps. It seems impossible that Wilson gets a song this big, with so many parts into three minutes. It makes no sense and yet is as close to perfect as music gets.If you want to know what is perfect, absolutely unquestionable perfect is God Only Knows. I won t even try to describe what is indescribable. Just close your eyes and listen. Brian Wilson is one of America s greatest artist ever.Don t dismiss Sloop John B as filler. This would be a star on any other album for any other artist. It s simple and beautiful and is The Beach Boys at their harmonious best. This goes for I Know There s An Answer , Here Today , and so on. You could take so many of these songs and call them into a list along with all the greatest songs of all time. I Just Wasn t Made For These Times seems to sum up Brian Wilson completely. Perhaps his era would be a better fit with Mozart or other classic musicians. His mind always appear to weave songs that are much more complex than what rock and pop offered him.And to end an album with Hang On To Your Ego just goes to show how deep and brilliant Pet Sounds was among many other words that just get lost as you listen. In modern music, once you get past the four-track you find filler to get the artist to the ten to twelve songs that a record company asked for, but Brian Wilson had so much in him that needed to come out that he starts and ends with genius. This is a hit song that any band would hang their hats on as one of the best songs they wrote and on Pet Sounds it is the last song.

Alexandra AmorAlexandra Amor rose to fame online by covering her favorite pop songs, but she really started to shine once she hit the studio to record her own original material, with producers including The Agency (Ciara, Jordin Sparks, Cody Simpson), Naz Tokio (McFly) and Da Internz (Jesse McCartney, Sean Kingston). A peppy, polished pop anthem full of high energy vitality and sassy sing-along lyrics, Superstar is the first single off Alexandra Amor s debut album, due out soon. Alexandra AmorAlexandra Amor has some advice for starry-eyed teens: Do your homework.That’s how her path to superstardom started, when the seemingly typical Florida teen took a unique, bold approach to her assignment in Communications class in early 2010. Instructed to give a 2-minute self introduction that would captivate the audience, Alexandra put an unexpected twist on her speech by singing it!Alexandra was no stranger to the spotlight, after all. The ability to captivate an audience was in her DNA. Her mother was the lead singer of a local rock band, and it was clear from an early age she was destined to follow suit. Alexandra s teen years were filled with singing competitions and acting roles in local theater productions, but she really honed her craft in front of a worldwide audience of millions on the internet, where she developed a large and devoted digital fan base that would follow her all the way to the top.Sure enough, Alexandra s lyrical take on her homework assignment captivated the whole class, which happened to include artist manager Josh Mendez from Rich Music Ltd. I immediately got the chills. I don t even remember the rest of her speech, Josh recalls. As soon as I heard her sing, I knew we had to sign her. After class, he introduced himself to Alexandra and immediately brought her to the attention of the label. Within weeks, she was signed to Jimmy J Management / Rich Music Ltd, a team of seasoned music professionals committed to taking the extraordinarily talented and charming singer to the next level.Alexandra immediately entered the recording studio to record her debut album. Together with top notch producers The Agency (Ciara, Jordin Sparks, Cody Simpson), Naz Tokio (McFly) and Da Internz (Jesse McCartney, Sean Kingston), Alexandra’s first ever recording sessions churned out a number of radio-ready tracks, including the stellar first single Superstar a peppy, polished pop anthem full of high energy vitality and sassy sing-along lyrics. Superstar is, in a sense, every aspiring artist/actor/singing-in-a-hairbrush performer s dream! Becoming a superstar, living it up, buying whatever, wherever, WHENEVER, Alexandra says. The single was released online in April 2010, where Alexandra s uber-viral fanbase immediately propelled it to digital hit status, singing into their own webcams and filling Youtube with countless fan-generated Superstar videos.Despite the living large theme of Superstar, Alexandra is remarkably gracious and unaffected. A pop fan herself, she cites influences across the spectrum including Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Katie Perry. I m a down to earth girl with big dreams and a positive outlook on life. It s all been surreal and an absolute blessing. I m still in shock all because I did my homework.
