A Year of Hymns

Okay, so I randomly came across this guy's blog. Seems pretty cool! He is an artist who rearranges and plays hymn music for his church. He had too many songs that he had done to put on his last CD. Starting May 1st, he will be giving out one of these songs per month to download for free. If you would like to pay for the song, proceeds will go to the human rights organization, International Justice Mission. This makes me so happy because I am so for human rights and even did a speech just this week over it in my oral communications class =)I think that's a pretty cool idea! Definitely seems legit by the way.

Here is a link to his blog:

And to the IJM site:

Hope you check them out and even help out monetarily if you can. This guy is showing what he is passionate about and is doing something about it!

Kiss and Tell?

Okay, for whatever reason, I have been listening to Selena ALL of the time. I really like her, her acting and her music. Maybe I'm biased since she's Hispanic? lol I have no idea! I actually haven't had the chance to listen to her whole album "Kiss & Tell," but I am right now =D haha It seems that Disney likes to try to get people who are good at everything- singing, acting, great personality, maybe even dancing? etc.- just like the old days =) But they hardly receive such great people.

The ones I can name off my head that I think (or the public in general) were both talented actors/actresses and great singers would be Brittany Spears, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus and now Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. (Let me know if you think of more.)I'm partial with Duff and I really don't like Spears's whiny voice. Cyrus's voice is good when she keeps in under control. I do like Lovato's rock edge and Gomez's incredible voice.

The thing is that all of these ladies started when they were so young! That is incredible! Think about it? You get the chance of a lifetime to work with Disney! Wow... Disney has really kept their promise of making dreams come true with these girls. Sometimes I envy this opportunity but then I think, hmmmm, I'm not near that good anyways lol

We Can Work It Out

Okay so I thought that I should maybe tell you what are MY personal favorites when it comes to the music world.

Genres that I like include anything and everything except rap. That is just in general, I do like extremely clean rap sometimes.

As in way of artists, I find that I'm getting more and more into pop music and the classics/jazz music. I use to be a sold out country lover through and through. It was my life. Now I like artists like Demi Lovato, Lady GaGa and Selena Gomez...Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin will ALWAYS have a stronghold in my heart. Ummm....let's see...what else? Indie music...always a must in a college student's life. I usually get my fix of that through my friends that I have met on campus. Here is a prime example, .her name is Katelyn R.:

This is Me

I want to keep this blog in order to keep myself up to date on all the latest and greatest music. I absolutely love music but tend to put it in the back-burner or just listen to the "safe" stuff, the stuff that I've listened to since I was like 13. So yeah, this is more kind of like a challenge to myself. If you come across this and know of anything interesting happening in the music world, let me know! And I will definitely be writing on here...this is pretty sweet =) Didn't realize it was so easy to get a blog lol
