“Die With a Smile” Acoustic Version

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have a big hit on their hand with “Die With a Smile”, and rightfully so, as it is absolutely gorgeous song.

Well recently, they released an acoustic version, and it’s stunning, of course:


Ok, so it’s not a big departure from the original, but I love that you hear Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s incredible vocals even more on this.

Just a perfect song highlighting two massive talents.

Can we just get a duet album from these two?

Pretty please?

Michael Buble and Carly Pearce “Maybe This Christmas”

Tis’ the Season for Holiday Music!

And we just got a beautiful new Christmas song from Michael Buble and Country Star Carly Pearce called “Maybe This Christmas”, and I absolutely love it!


First of all, you can’t go wrong with these two mega-talents.

Secondly, I love that it’s a more somber, poignant song, which differentiates itself from the usually overly cheerful holiday tunes that dominate during the season.

It’s a reminder that not everyone is feeling super festive, and many are lonely during these times. I’ve been there myself, being an Army wife and spending holidays with my husband overseas, and away from my family.

Just a different perspective for the holidays, and completely necessary in my opinion.

Also, remember those deployed durng the holidays, and their families back home- this song definitely makes me think of them all.

 

And as one of the lines in the song states, “I wish you all the love that your heart can hold”.

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga Live in Vegas!

I am floored.

I mean, I already know that Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are some of the best talents in the business, but this recent live performance in Las Vegas of their hit duet “Die With a Smile” is just wow.

Like really, really, wow.

It is so rare for artists to sound as good or better than they do on a recording, but Bruno and Gaga just proved why they are still relevant and some of the absolute BEST out there.

Bruno is currently at the Dolby Live in Las Vegas, where he is in residency.

Also, I think we need a collaborative album with these two, don’t you think?

Oh, and just for comparison, here is the recorded version:

Again, WOW.

Postmodern Jukebox “Good Luck Babe”

I’m just a little obsessed with Postmodern Jukebox and the amazing covers and reimagining of popular songs in a vintage style.

Their latest offering?

A take on the wildly popular Pop song “Good Luck, Babe” by one of this year’s breakout stars Chappell Roan in the style of the late Lesley Gore.

It’s prety dang fantastic, and Tatum Langley KILLS it on the vocals.

Enjoy:


LOOOOOVVEEEE!

Seriously, everyone in this group is insanely talented, and I’m gonna jump down the rabbit hole once again instead of doing things I actually should be doing, like dishes.

Lady Gaga “Disease”

Lady Gaga announced earlier this week that she had more new music coming, and she made good on that promise this morning by dropping the Rock tinged track “Disease”, and, of course, it’s pretty damn good.

I mean, it’s Gaga after all.


I love the rock edge, and I’m feeling Nine Inch Nails “Closer” vibes as well as a tinge of her song “Bloody Mary” in there.

I’m definitely not disappointed, and it’s already taking up rent-free space in my head.

The song is most likely off of Lady Gaga’s upcoming 7th studio album, which we know she has been working on.

This song defnitely bodes well fr the rest of the album. I’m hoping for more Rock Gaga in he future.

You hear that universe? Make it happen.

Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

More info on Jelly Roll, new music, tour dates, etc at http://jellyroll615.com

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Cover Chappell Roan!

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:


Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?

Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.

In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:

 

There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:


Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!

You know I’ll be sharing my favorites.

Sabrina Carpenter “Taste”

There’s so much new music out this weekend!

That’s not a bad thing whatsoever.

One of my favorite current Pop artists Sabrina Carpenter released her sixth studio album “Short n’ Sweet” yesterday, and there are some really fun, well done songs on the album, like this one called “Taste”- and bonus: the music video stars Jenna Ortega!

Ok, the video is a lot, but still, entertaining, and I’m loving the song.

Another few standouts on the album for me are “Lie To Girls”:

I’m also loving “Dumb and Poetic”:

In all. it’s a banner Pop album, and is likely to be one of the biggest of the year. Sabrina already has two hit singles on the album with “Please, Please, Please” and of course, “Espresso”, and I’m sure there will be a few more off of it.

I love her unique, infectuous Pop sound, and some pretty great lyrics as well.

Also, every single song she has is catchy as all get out. I still have “Espresso” living rent-free in my head from earlier this year.

She will be heading out on tour this Fall/Winter, and you get get dates and more info at https://www.sabrinacarpenter.com/

Honestly, I feel like 2024 has been a pretty great year for music, and we’re just over halfway into it. Let’s keep that mometnum going!

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars “Die With a Smile”

What happens when you combine Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars?

Easily one of the best songs of the year. Maybe the decade.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars deliver the vocal heat with “Die With a Smile”:

Yeah, that doesn’t have to grow on me at all.

But then again, how can you go wrong with those two?

Both artists are working on new music, and this collab definitely bodes well for whats to come.

Kudos!!!

Post Malone’s First-Ever Release!

Post Malone is inarguably one of the biggest stars in the world right now, and he’s about to take over Country music even more when his album “F-1 Trillion” drops on August 16th.

He’s already dominated Hip Hop, Pop and  Adult Contemporary… but what was his actual first release?

Ummm… this:


No, I’m not even kidding.

To be fair, it was for a high school art class project, and I’m sure he was just being funny. And he got an “A”, so there’s that.

Also, Post Malone was Leon Dechino at the time… but clearly, the alter ego didn’t stick.

I really can’t imagine why.

Hey, we all have to start somewhere right?

 

Ether way, Post Malone is continuing to dominate, and sorry haters, it doesn’t look like that’s going to stop anytime soon.

Oh, and in case you missed it, Post Malone’s tracklist for “F 1 Trillion” was accidentally leaked by Target, and it’s prety damn stellar… we’re talking Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Hank Williams Jr., Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and more.

Sadly, “Why Don’t You Love Me” won’t be making a comeback on the album.

Maybe next time.
