When you get to know someone, you start to find out their
interests in food, books and music. To me one of the most important aspects of
my life is music. I like all kinds of music; hip-hop, soft rock, country,
classical, theatrical, and singer-song writer. I love almost every kind of
music except hard rock and screamo, hardcore stuff, which is pretty much
yelling.
My favorite thing to listen to is my Pandora channel
entitled, “The Best Station Ever”. Why is this the best station ever? Well, my
friends, because it has all of the best music on it. The “artist seeds”, which
are the artists whose music you have chosen, include Frank Sinatra, Michael
Bublé,
Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, The Civil Wars, Regina Spektor, Straigh No Chaser,
Ingird Michaelson, and The Moldy Peaches. I highly recommend all of these
groups and artists! They are all very different, but when combined into a
station, it adds a great variety. The following are descriptions of each group
or artist.
Frank Sinatra
Franks
Sinatra is truly one of the greatest artists in history. Part of the original
Rat Pack, he paved the way for the swing era. His music is just fun and
easy-going. My personal favorite songs are “Fly Me to the Moon” and “It Was a
Very Good Year”. I find his music to be
very easy going on the ear.
Michael Bublé
Michael Bublé has a
very similar sound to Frank Sinatra. Made famous by his version of “Feelin’
Good”, he has made a name for himself in the soft jazz genre. I find that his
music is so subtle and warm that it makes for great studying music.
Norah Jones
It is hard to explain in words
what Norah Jones’ music sounds like, but I guess you could say very mellow. My
personal favorite of her songs is “Come Away with me”. I first heard her
singing on a soundtrack to one of the “Princess Diaries” movies. She has the
ability to sing any song that she wants, but she still manages to keep her own
sound. Norah Jones is a truly amazing artist.
