I will warn you now, Ciara is one of my favorite R&B artist and her music videos don't disappoint. As a result, this is not the last time she'll be on Magnify Your Style's playlist. In 2004, I saw Ciara's first video "Goodies". I've been a fan ever since. This is not on my playlist because it... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s Playlist: Deadmau5
You can't say dubstep with out Deadmau5, which for some reason makes me think of the Maus comic books based on the life of a holocaust survive. These two things are completely unrelated, but I felt the need to share. What can I say, my love of history slipped into the music. Though Deadmau5 has been around for a... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s: Nelly Furtado
Nelly Furtado and Timbaland make an amazing pair. When these two are on a track together its magic. In fact, a song that got Nelly on the map featured Timbaland. Some of you may remember the song was called promiscuous. Over the years, I have not heard much from Nelly Furtado, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s: Havana Brown
Want to dance? Havana Brown's "We Run the Night" is your party jam. Plus, Pitbull is featured in the song, which automatically makes the song hot. Given the meaning behind the song, the club setting was perfect. I didn't expect her to be the DJ in the center of it all. This was a very nice touch.... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s: The Rasmus
Back in 2004, I replaced MTV with Fuse to meet my music needs. Before it became a channel you could only have access to with a cable box, it was a basic cable channel. Here you could watch in-depth interviews with artist and watch marathon of videos by a specific artist. The show did what... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s: Adele
Adele has touched the hearts of many women this millennium. Her music is full of soul and meaning, which is very refreshing. Since she has many chart toping songs out, it can be hard to remember some of her earlier work, like Chasing Pavement. The first time I saw this video was my sophomore year in... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s Playlist: Flo Rida
I will warn you now, this will not be the last time you see Flo Rida on Magnify Your Style's playlist. He has produced many club anthem after club anthem for the last six years. In fact, most of his songs have dominated night life at the Hardware Bar in Wilkes-Barre. Unfortunetaly, I do not have... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s Playlist: Q-Tip
The fall semester of my freshman year was dominated by Q-Tip's smooth vocals and piano. Ironically, I only had the music video, which I got for free from Itunes. So, I'd have to play the video to listen to the song as I walked through campus. When I wasn't walking around, I appreciated his bizarre wardrobe and... Continue Reading →
Magnify Your Style’s Playlist: Ke$ha
Music is a form of expression that can show people how we feel. It can also sound really awesome and have no meaning what so ever. Regardless, music is something that most people love to listen to. To me, music is the soundtrack of my life. There is something for every mood, accomplishment, disappointment, and... Continue Reading →
Fashion in Music: Ellie Goulding
If I had to choose between fashion and music, I'd take both and run for the hills. They both are intertwined. Let's face it, fashion shows would be dull without music. Instead of looking fierce, models would look pissed and/or bored. Music needs fashion because clothing and accessories help develop an artist image. In addition,... Continue Reading →
