Top 10 Most Listen To

I am back! HAHAHA. Well, actually I've made my comeback last week. Comeback kali ni adalah untuk this legendary section called "Top 10 Most Listen To". Untuk korang newbies a.k.a newbs a.k.a noobs, this is the section where I list down the 10 songs that I listen to the most through out the past week. So, enjoy!

10. T-ara - Lead The Way



Seriously, I feel really bad for these girls. After that bullying HUGE SCANDAL, the group never seemed to recover. What was once seemed like the biggest contender for Girls Generation, now have turned into some mi-tier girl group. Poor, T-ara. They never failed to put out good songs. Like this one. But, it is what it is. Still enjoy the song, though.


9. Lily Allen - Sheezus


When I first hear this song, I was like "Oh no, she didn't!" The British singer threw in some pop vixens names in the chorus including Rhoanda, Basic Perry, Borde, and Lady Swine. Craving for attention? Don't care. The song is crunk-ish as fuck. Trust me, if you listen to it, you will fall in love with how smooth the beat is and how cute Lily Allen perky vocal sounds.

And I truly believe that the Queen B that she mentioned is Godney The Holy Spearit, not Beyonce the Thief.


8. Caitlin Rose - Own Side


I first fell in love with the song after the video of that cute little girl singing this song went viral. I searched for the original one and I got addicted to this song on the spot. Caitlin's vocal suits this song so very well. A slow tempo country-ballad that tells us the most honest description of what comes after all of the screaming and crying and the constant rejection of your plea for another chance. She sings:

"Who's gonna take me home? Coz I don't wanna go it alone..."

Now, isn't that is just shocking, but unbelievably honest?


7. Joanna Pacitti - Out From Under


Britney Spears covered this song on her 'Circus' album and I loved it to death. There is something absolutely magical and beautiful about Godney's crisp vocal in delivering ballad. Any hoo, back to this song. I always love a beautiful ballad, and this version of the song is non-exception. This is supposed to be a soundtrack for a tacky movie called "Bratz". Never heard of it? Trust me, me neither. As well as 99.75% of the Eearth's population.


6. Our Last Night - Wrecking Ball


This is a post-hardcore band originated from the US of A. They did so many amazing covers of popular songs, but this want gets my attention right away. Their deliverance is completely different than the original one (the way how covers SHOULD be). And that moment when Matt sings the 1st chorus with his lower voice... OVARY EXPLODED.


5. 2NE1 - Come Back Home


I don't understand the hate that this song has been getting from some of the pop bloggers out there. I mean, this song is generic-2NE1 (in a good way), catchy, melodic, and easy to listen to as well. What else do you need from a manufactured pop band from K-Pop scene? If you wanna listen to some deep shit, stop listening to K-Pop. All in all, I give this song a 10 out of 5. U MAD?


4. Sia - Chandelier


Just when Work Bitch by Godney seemed to die down, Sia come out with this song and once again restore my faith in pop music scene. Although it might sound like all the other top 40 hits out there with hipster-hop beats, soaring chorus, repetitive and catchy lines, but Sia's vocal is always on point. If her vocal don't get you (meaning that you are deaf) then the lyrics will hit you right in the heart where it will make you cry. 

And I’m holding on for dear life, won’t look down won’t open my eyes / Keep my glass full until morning light, ’cause I’m just holding on for tonight / Help me, I’m holding on for dear life, won’t look down won’t open my eyes.”

Anyone that's partied the pain away (like I used to be) will going to connect with this song in a SHIT JUST GOT REAL kinda way.


3. Shakira - Broken Record


I have never heard Shakira sings this kinda song, and the result is amazing. It is more stripped down and have this acoustic feel around it and this song is soooo believable, reaffirming someone she loves of her affection, having said it "700 times". Don't be judging, bitch. We all do the same. Texting your bae "I love you", "I miss you", "Don't leave me", and all those kinda shits literally every 2 seconds. That is why this song sounds so sincere and genuine - because we all can relate to it.


2. John Legend - All of Me


There comes a time when a song can be so simple - a piano-driven ballad, with honest-to-God simple lyrics, and it touched your heart in so many ways. This is one of those songs. Trust me. This song was inspired by his wife, that woman on the video. I guess he just poured his heart out along those beautiful melodies. And that beautiful voice of his really add up to the fact that this is one of the most cliche and generic song out there, but somehow, it is also one of the best ballads ever produced. Fact.


1. Fynn Jamal - Arjuna Beta




I love Fynn Jamal. I adore her styles of writing and her voice is truly one of a kind. This song is created during the early stage of her pregnancy, just the way Godney wrote one of the best ballads of all time - "Someday (I Will Understand). It is almost a symbolic towards what she wants to say to her son when he grows up. Everything that you can expect from a mothers' advice can be found in this song, but yet, being the poetic and melancholic writer that she is, she managed to write those advice in such a beautiful and poetic ways. Kudos for her.

And by the way, I listen to this song a lot especially when I miss my mom. That's all.

Top 10 Most Listen To

After almost more than 3 months, my top 10 list is back. This edition is for the whole week starting from  the 4th to the 10th of November. Enjoy!

10. Olly Murs - Dear Darlin'


I first listen to this song on my friend's car and I have been obsessed with the song ever since. I love the simplicity of the lyrics but yet they are so deep. I find it beautiful that this guy still writes letter to his special one. One of a kind vocal, I must say.

9. Passenger - Let Her Go


I first found out about this song through a YouTube cover and it was about 2 or 3 weeks after that that I finally gave the original version a listen. Worth it.


8. Adele - Hiding My Heart


Nothing beats Adele when it comes to heartbreaking ballad. This cover of hers really hit home since I am facing the same thing that the song is portraying. It is truly an emotional journey listening to this song even when i don't wanna be vulnerable. I guess you just can't stop being emotional when you are listening to Adele's ballads. Fuck you, Adele.


7. Kahi feat Dumbfoundead - It's Me


Kahi has always been one of my favorite K-Divas ever since her stint with After School. She made a comeback with this song and I loved it. I love a mid-tempo song that you can dance your ass off to, and this song is it.


6. Britney Spears - Passenger


OMG I feel so guilty for this. "Passenger" is one of the tracks from Godney's upcoming album "Britney Jean" and it leaked earlier this week and I just cannot control myself to listen to the song and get addicted right away. This song is about her being a "passenger", a homage towards her conservatorship situation that she is in right now. With this and Perfume, this album is shaping up to be her most personal yet. I really cannot wait for it, but until then I really wish that Godney will forgive me for I have sinned.




I am a huge fan of Indo-pop, and at point I feel like I have more passion towards this scene compare to Malay music scene. These bands always use the same formula in making songs: simple and realistic lyrics, repetitive hook (catchy, even on their ballads), mellow delivery, and most of all, beautiful melody that hooked into your head on first listen. Wali Band and Kangen Band are one of the pioneers for these formulas and this song stimulate the formula just perfect.


4. iamNEETA - Terima Kasih


Although I admitted before that I don't really listen to Malay songs, but it doesn't mean I abandoned the scene completely. I have been searching this song for quite a while now since I first listened to it on a bus on the way to UMS, and I found it like 3 days ago. There is a little resemblance between the song and Karma by Cokelat, but a good song, is a good song. And Nita has one of the most angelic voices ever.



3. Avril Lavigne - Hush Hush


The motherfucking princess is back with another album (a flop one, again) and I personally think that this is the top 3 best songs from the album. Avril is known for her pop rock/pop punk influence in her song, but she did ballad extremely well also. Remember this and this?


2. Britney Spears - Work Bitch


ONE WORD: PERFECTION.


1. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors


I know I am late to the party, but I don't give a fuck. This song has been on heavy rotation on my playlist. I just love the song although I hate JT to death. Plus, there are so many brilliant covers of the song like this and this and it just add to my craziness towards the song. Plus, there is a rumor that this song is actually dedicated not to his wife, but to his legendary ex, Miss Britney Spears.



There you have it for now. See you on the next edition!



Top 10 Most Listen To

I am back, bitches. Here is another edition of my Top 10 Most Listen To for last week (10-16 June 2013). Enjoy!

10. Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God


This used to be my jam back in 2010 or something when I was such an emotionally unstable kid (some thing never change). Don't we all are suckers when rockers belt their hearts out for the girls in this kinda depressing rock-ballad song? I know I do.



9. Icona Pop feat Charlie XCX - I Love It


Everyone knows I love trashy-dance-pop, and this song is the epitome of it. It is the kinda song that you just don't care about the lyrics as long as you can move your body and nod your head along the beats. This song was a HUGE hit for the Swedish DJ duo, being played on TV shows such as Girls, Glee, and even Vampire Diaries. 


8. Alejandro Fernández & Christina Aguilera - Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti




A beautiful Spanish ballad which I have no fucking idea what they are singing about. But, that's the beautiful thing about music. You don't have to understand the lyrics, but the delivery and the melody of the song speaks for itself. Still, NOT a fan of Floptina.


7. The Shirelles - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?




Ignore the photo. I first listened to this song from the album Lioness: Hidden Treasures by the late Amy Winehouse (bless her poor soul), and recently I discovered that it was actually a cover of the 60's classic. Y'all might laugh, but do y'all know that this song is listed as the 126th greatest songs of all time by Rolling fucking Stone magazine? And do y'all know that this song has been covered by more than 100 artist (officially)? When will your fave? Never, tbh.


6. Iggy Azalea - Work (Explicit)




She is definitely my favorite femcee right now. Like, for real, Iggy can rap. This song has the same kinda vibe with Kat Dahlia's Gangsta, reminiscing how she overcame all the hardships in her life to fulfill her dream. This song delivered one of the best phrase of the history of rap music entire human's existence: "Valley girls giving blowjobs for Loubotins. What's that called? Head over heels." Flawless.


5. Paramore - Still Into You




Not really a huge fan of this band, but I love some of their works. And how can you not fall in love with Hayley? Kinda a slowpoke here. This song was premiered weeks ago, but I only fell in love with it recently. Whatever. I have more important things to do.


4. Britney Spears - Oh La La




This song is not officially out yet (it doesn't even have an official cover), but I got the chance to listen to the song and downloaded the leaked demo version of it, and I am hooked by the moment the music start. It is typical Britney, auto-tuned with heavy dance beats and crazy lyrics, but I FUCKING love it! Trust me this song is gonna be HUGE and will shit on your faves' discography. I am screaming already.

And oh ya, this song is actually an official soundtrack for the Smurfs 2. Whatevs.


3. Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop




I honestly love this song. It is a party-song, but the part where every one is cooling down and do the slow-jam before getting crazy and fuck each other on the pool.


2. Beast - Will You Be Alright?



The Gods of K-Pop Ballad are back, and like they always do, they delivered it again in this ballad. The boys can do nothing wrong when it comes to ballad. I am super-excited for their comeback come July. Beast is definitely one of the bands that love to take time with their comebacks and produce not only good songs, but also high in quality. Looking forward for the boys to fuck the music charts with their full-length album again.


1. Rossa - Tak Sanggup Lagi



There comes a time when a song really reflects what you are going through in that particular moment, and you play it on replay over and over again. Well, this song is that song for me. I was going through some "relationship issues" and I was like, fuck it. Enough is enough. I cannot take it no more. which is basically what the song is all about.

This song really speaks to me, lyrically. And since I was in a vulnerable state of emotion, the melancholy ballad melody add up to why I rape the replay button on this one. It is truly an awesome song to listen to when you are having a breakdown. LOL.


Top 10 Most Listen To

I am back! Lols.

Before I go any further, let us remind ourselves of the tragedy in Lahad Datu. Semoga Allah bagi jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik, dan terus melindungi orang-orang di Lahad Datu. Al-fatihah untuk perajurit tanah air kita yang terkorban dalam usaha mempertahankan tanah air kita sendiri. #PrayForLahadDatu

Sorry nda dapat post last week sebab I have been busy with alotta things. So, here I am, updating this list again. And this is the 10 songs I listen to the most for the past week (22 Feb - 1 Mac 2013). Just so you know, you guys boleh klik tajuk lagu tu kalau korang mau check out the song, sebab dia linked directly ke YouTube. So, here we go!

10. G Dragon feat Kim Yuna - Missing You



I think this is the 2nd time this song made the list. I just can't have enough of it. The melody is so so good, GD's rapping is flawless as usual, and that whistling is so fucking addictive. Kim Yuna's sweet and girly voice fit right on with the song, although I don't know who the hell is she.




Eminem has always been one of a very few rappers that I listen to. I have the up-most respect for Slim Shady, not only because he is the single white male that has become the most successful white rapper in the black-men-dominated industry, but also as an amazing lyricist. Eminem often told stories with his lyrics and most often it is about his life. This song is no exception. We get a peek into his private life on the stand point of his daughter, Hailie. A very personal song, where he talked about how his daughter piled up the box in front of the door begging him not to leave, and he even rapped about his then-estranged wife, Kim. Truly touching.




She is the female version of Sinatra. With the lips of Angelina Jolie and that vintage personality, Dalai Lana slayed me with this song. What is more romantic than meeting a stranger that changed your mind about love in a very old-school style of Lana? Plus, the melody will stick on your head after a few listen. Trust me.




I found out this song through the amazing PS22 Chorus when Britt came as a guess performer and when I watched the video of them singing this song, I am hooked. But I prefer the featuring PS22 Chorus version than the original one. But hey, everyone is to their opinion.




One of the best metal bands ever exists, Nightwish will forever be my idol, especially the bad bitch herself, Tarja Turunen. This song is one of my favorite tracks of all time and it inspired me to write so many of my dark and depressing poems.




I feel bad for Ms. Carly. After delivering the biggest pop song of 2012 with the addictive "Call Me Maybe", the bitch seems to fall on the 1 hit wonder category - considering how her 2nd single "This Kiss" did nothing to the chart, and her EP flopped. This song is so generic, which is understandable that she tries to gain some mainstream follower, but it is so addictive and fun.




Empress B never failed to deliver. This song is taken from her B In The Mix EP, but it shits on most of your flop faves' lead single. YOU MAD BITCH?




Legendary femcee, Eve, is on the trail of her comeback. Despite the song sounds extremely generic and been-there-done-that by lots of artists, Eve's rapping flow is undeniably fierce. Bitch need to get back in the game and she has no strong fan base - hence the generic song. Still good though.




Now, this is another Cinderella story comes to life. Tegar, a small boy who is forced by destiny to become a pengamen since his family could not afford his education, starting to composed his own songs. This is the song that really gained him attention up till the point where he was dubbed "Pengamen Ajaib". Taking the nation by storm, Tegar suddenly appeared in many TV shows including Indonesia Mencari Bakat as a guest performer. On top of them all, he was invited to perform next to the legendary Indo-Band superstar, Noah Band (Peter Pan).




Despite the fact that she slept with dated half of Hollywood hunks, this song is definitely my favorite of hers. Reminiscing all the innocence of love and all the littlest thing that come around such as dancing in the dark with the refrigerator light and keeping your ex's old scarf, this song is a total tear-jerker. Plus, the melody of the song itself is so melancholic and heartbreaking, and Taylor's weak but emotional deliverance just add up to the fragile state of the song, a perfect fit altogether.



Top 10 Most Listen To

Before we go any further, I just want y'all to take a moment to pray for our friends in Lahad Datu. Semoga semuanya baik-baik saja sana, cepat-cepat lah kasi settle apa-apa yang perlu di kasi settle. Jangan ada yang tercedera ka apa ka... amin.

Ba, back to busniness. Here is another edition of my Top 10 Most Listen To untuk minggu lalu (7 Feb - 13 Feb). Enjoy!



I am one of the biggest Big Bang's fans in this earth entire universe. Lols. Well, this is the song that originally made me fell head over heels with this boy band. This kinda song is the trademark sound for Big Bang - electronic ballad with piano-driven and out-of-this-world vocal delivery. Kali ni aku full blast pasang yang akustik punya. Not as good as the original one, but still, it will slay your soul.




Cewek cantek dari seberang ni di gelar "Female Version of Afgan" simply sebab pattern dorang yang sedap di dengar tu, and their full of emotion delivery in songs. Raisa, sama macam Afgan, banyak nyanyi lagu-lagu ballad; sesuai la dengan sora dia. Plus, she can play piano as well. Lagu ni memang typical Indon. Lirik dia simple tapi betul-betul kena di hati - kalau kamu pernah tunggu-tunggu orang yang nda kasik respon la. Terasa lettew...




This is my favorite track from Rotation. This is a song that truly epitomize all the fucked up things in Hollywood, but to be honest, this song is a huge reflection towards life. Lyrics such as "when singers wrote songs instead of hooks" which represents all the shitty music out there right now. There is also an innuendo on society and drugs (you couldn't get your fix in an instant). But truly the best part of the lyrics is the beginning; "the way we're living makes no sense, take me back to the age of innocence". Now, aren't we all feel the same?




Ni lagu hari-hari aku dengar pagi-pagi di kereta time aku praktikal dulu (my housemate is Chinese so malar denagr lagu Cina di kereta dia). But it was surprisingly good. This song never left my playlist up until today.




I miss this era of Avril. The supposedly skater-punk-princess. Sekarang sudah mula jadik pop sudah dia. Hmm. Wonder when she will go back to her old root?





Aku start pay attention kat minah ni time The Dog Days Are Over. And since then, I am hooked. I could not imagine anyone else sings this song. It is a perfect match made in heaven. Florence is an avant-garde singer, and this song screams epic-gothic + avant-garde  orchestral-best-motherfucking-shit-I-don't-know-what-to-call-it. Ngam betul la ni lagu dengan dia punya filem, Snow White and the Huntsman. Meremang bulu roma dengar lagu ni. Memang epic.




Aku ada download "Red" secara illegal dari thepiratebay.se tapi belum ada masa dengar in its entirety. So, I decided to finally check the album, and this song grabbed my attention. I am not a fan of Taylor "Cock Gobbler" Swift, but this song is good. Really good.




Y'all know I listen to all types of music, even country. Aku dapat tahu pasal lagu ni dari filem Country Strong (btw, a good film it is). Best dengar lagu-lagu gini time petang-petang duduk di beranda sambil minum milo panas sama makan lempeng, abru tu baca e-books. Awyeahhh.




Biasa laa kalau sudah berjauhan dengan parents ni, time-time sendiri-sendiri ka, ada masalah ka, rindu ka, mesti terus mau balik rumah. Especially this week, ntah kenapa rasa rindu tu makin menjadi-jadi. That is why this song is played on heavy rotation.




Yeap, I am lonely. I am not going to deny it. HAHA. Biasa la ba anak hidup di perantauan. Ngam-ngam lagik tidur sendiri di rumah time housemates balik Sarawak cuti CNY. Ini la masanya aku layan perasaan. This is truly the best song to listen to when you are sad and you want to cry. It is a power ballad, and the melody is beautiful. And that chipmunk voice- ahhh. Kalau tengok lagi video klip dia time-time cewek di atas ni nangis, punya sandi ehhh.

Lirik dia pun betul-betul kena di jiwa la. Ini la ini kalau orang nda pandai hargai kapel dia. Nanti sudah blah baru mau menganjing merayu-rayu minta balik. Siapa suruh nda pandai jaga dari awal. Kan sudah kena kasi tinggal. Baru tau. #membebel




PS: korang klik ja link di tajuk lagu tu terus buka video dia tu. ehe.

Top 10 Most Listen To

another edition of the songs that I mostly listen to. ni yang untuk 1 Feb - 6 Feb punya. so, check it out. mungkin ada lagu yg korang belum pernah dengar. kunun. LOLS

10. The Pogues - I Love You Till The End


So, the other day I was watching this movie PS I Love You (so fucking romantic btw) and this song came up about a few times and I fucking fell in love with it. Very simple, very straightforward, and yet super romantic and honest. #ValentineSongOfTheDecade




These pas few days, aku get in touch balik with my cousin from Indonesia. Bukan ada gaduh ka apa, cuma we grew apart. But as lately, we talked again (chat I mean). And my favorite uncle pun somehow appears in my life again. So, it is kinda nostalgic ba, buat me remind of some of the holiday moments I spent with them back in our kampung. And this song was one od the song that I listen most to, sama ada dari radio atau pun dorang sendirik yang nyanyi.




I have been in an emotional trainwreck quite often (especially now that I seems to be having my own life). So, aku banyak dengar lagu-lagu yang try to boost up my spirit. And this one in particular is one of my faves during down time. Hell, it makes a great song to listen to while you are weeping too.


7. Saykoji - Say To You


Kalau korang belum pernah dengar lagu ni, I strongly suggest you guys pi la dengar. This is how romantic song is done in a new dimension. The beat is awesome, and the rapping is good, but the best thing about the song is the lyrics. Memang orang Indon kalau buat lirik very touchy and sincere. "Mungkin ku tak setampan, segagah arjuna / Ku hanya manusia, ku tak akan sempurna / Tapi cintaku berasal dari mata air kekal / Ketulusan hati ku sayang tak bisa di sangkal"

#DEADOFAWESOMENESS

(ps: sorry, teda link video aku dapat jumpa. pi donlod sendiri OK?)





Korang pun tau kan how I always say I miss my family back home and all the emotional posts and tweets. Ini la lagu yang paling bikin pecah. LOLs. Serius cakap. Nda dapat tahan dengar lagu ni. Mesti mau nangis ja. Cengeng kan aku? Haha. But whatever. I was in a very fragile situation and miss my mom like never before. Try la dengar lagu ni sambil fikir about your own mom. And try not to cry. I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!




She is one of my favorites masa Rockstar INXS aired dulu. And this was one of my favorite performance of her. But what shocked me most is that she was on The Voice! Nda perasaan weh. Looking forward to hearing her materials.




Still cannot have enough of this song. I played the fuck out of it when it first out, and up till today masi jua layan. And what is up with Britney Spears lately? The queen is out and about and looking flawless. Argh! Album #8 - MY BODY IS READY.




Dia pun sezaman jua dengan Jordis Unga dalam Rockstar INXS. Not really paid any attention to her, until she perform this original song of hers.




LeeSsang has always been of of the most interesting acts in K-Pop, thanks to Running Man's Gary. I adore Gary's rapping style and flow. Plus, this song is so beautiful, sebab the lyrics tell the story of how this man betul-betul menyesal GF dia tinggalkan dia sebab dia rasa nda dihargai (si BF selalu busy la so on). And what is so amazing is how the song betul-betul capture the essence of man - SOMETIMES MEN DO DRY WHEN THE LOVE OF THEIR LIFE WALKED AWAY, BUT THEY DON'T DO IT IN PUBLIC.
#shakingandcrying




This is my jam right now. Seriously, this song is so fucking addictive. SISTAR19 sticks with the formula of sad but sexy (which makes their hit single "Alone" works so damn well). Setiap kali dengar lagu ni automatic mau groove, mau move. LOLs. Hyorin, as usual, delivers perfectly on the vocal and my girl Bora slays her 15 seconds of fame on the song. The song is about how this girl fighting her loneliness after breaking up and reminiscing all the good things that has come to an end as the relationships end. Sound familiar? And also, it won't be SISTAR without some provocative dance moves. This time around, they used their asses to wipe clean the table. Yeap, SISTAR19 FTW!

By the way, this song is amazing. It is sexy and sad, but also sad and sexy, you know what I mean?
