Grammy Night, will it reflect my year, specifically the strong role females played in music this past year?
Strong female artists have defined the past 366 days for me. Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday and the one-year anniversary of Born This Way by Lady Gaga. Most of the music I listened to last year lines up this way: Lady Gaga, Adele, Florence and the Machine, and for the past 3 days Lana Del Rey. There have been others who played significant be it lesser roles: a smattering of Katy Perry and Charlotte Gainsbourg, a hand full of Rihanna, a little addiction to Kesha (the equivalent of music crack cocaine - it is fun but makes you feel dirty afterwards), and momentary crushes on Natalia Kills and Robyn.
For the past three days, I have been caught up in this:
What was your year of music like? Share some highlights, what was your most listened to album?
Most listened to:
ReplyDeleteVersicolour, and Friendly Fires - Aidan Knight
-somewhat of a homage to living in Victoria and a spillover from 2010 too. And fits my rainy day mood - which happens a lot in Vancouver
Other highlights - not necessarily albums from this year:
Bon Iver - both his latest albums - but Calgary was an amazing single.
The Black Keys - especially after watching the live stream of their performance at Coachella
Boreal Sons
Mike Edel
The Swell Season
