Am I wrong for calling the “Black Star Elephant” album by Nico & Vinz one of the best pop albums of 2014? I believe am not wrong. That album was a masterpiece and they continue in its successful footsteps with their latest song that features Bebe Rexha and Kid Ink. The song is titled “That’s How You Know” and the perfectly blending duo does what they do best before they let Bebe and Kid Ink put their art on it.
“That’s how you know” is a very captivating song. It is fun, educative and entertaining all at the same time. I see this song becoming a hit with circles of people as it portrays very relatable incidents. The song is sang over a catchy guitar which I found very interesting. It makes the whole song sound like something that was just

Bebe Rexha does the second verse and she had the best verse for me. The lady on the song killed it. “You were the man in college / got a degree in awesome / and had more zeros in your bank than all the matrix coding,” sings Bebe. Pretty impressive right? Hell yeah. Bebe definitely had the most exciting verse on the song. Nico & Vinz come back for the third verse then Kid Ink does the last verse.
Kid Ink continues to display an exceptional level of comfort with any style of music he is invited to feature on. From the guitar the song is sang on, it is hard to imagine what Kid Ink’s verse would flow like but Kid Ink imposingly laid his verse. The flow was well paced to match the guitar and the lyrics also demonstrate the perfect “that’s how you know you f**ked up” situation. The final chorus comes in after his verse and Bebe adds superb background vocals for this one. Her vocals will send chills allover your body – they are that amazing.
“That’s how you know” is that reunion song as you all tell stories about how life turned out and if you messed it up, the entire group will have to sing for you the chorus of this song. It would be perfect for that occasion. Nico & Vinz continue to give us music that’s not only entertaining, but educative and fun to listen to, sing along to and relate to. This is another incredible song from the
The beautiful magic wands of the Egyptian past are a great example of the how the Ancient Egyptians revered their gods, but more importantly, they glorified their living and sanctified their dead. The appearance during the Middle Kingdom of the magic wands in tombs tell a story of a culture that struggled with surviving childbirth. In order to protect their laboring mothers, in this life and the next, the Egyptians evoked deities from their pantheon and spellbound them to a piece of hippo bone. In the magic wands found scattered about Egypt, all possess carvings of knife wielding deities, some were three dimensional and even the material it has made from held great significance.

Ross instantly sung the exact words to the song, almost identical to the singer's. "Not to hard to see that a Cali girl is what I need." A tint of pink flowered my cheeks. He's not singing about you or to you, he's singing at you prove a point. I shook myself out of it.
The Spanish-American war of 1898, although short in duration, effected policy in the United States for years to come. As part of the Treaty of Paris, the United States acquired Puerto Rico and the Pacific island of Guam while Spain granted independence to Cuba (Divine 694). The United States demanded the Philippines as a condition of peace and quickly attempted to annex the islands (Pearson 19). This led to the Philippine-American War which lasted three years and claimed many lives on both sides.

One of the most intriguing and influential images included in Citizen by Claudia Rankine is the image entitled Blue Black Boy. Blue Black Boy is a visual work of art created by Carrie Mae Weems in 1990’s; Weems is a very successful female African American artist. Through a close reading of the image, I was able to derive meaning out of the various aspects that work together to create such an eloquent work of art.
Given the points above, it is almost sacrilege to classify this song as anything other than an American classic. Even in today’s time people recognize
I first found this song a couple of summers ago, when my friend Joey showed it to me. Instantly, I became a fan of this song and a fan of Bryce Vine’s music. I chose to use this song instead of his other
This creates a beautiful blending of the two parts together and shows that this song was written to showcase the vocals.
Education is not everywhere, but it is here in Berwyn. Do kids in Berwyn, take their education seriously, Yeah they do. As kids get older, they tempt to take their education more seriously because they tend to get an idea of what's ahead of them, college, jobs, and independence. In Berwyn, I’ve noticed this, many kids would separate their classmates into groups. Although it's informal it's a good way to explain things. There would be groups or section such as class clowns, bad kids, goodie goodies or smart kids, and the kids that make it seem like they don’t care. Now, as the end of seventh grade approaches you’ll notice that now our classmates fit into three sections: the ones that do want to learn, the ones that don’t, and the ones that
The lyrics really spoke to me. Every word coming out of his mouth was not only musically pleasing but gave me a sense of belonging. That was a reoccurring feeling in Jason’s concert, which was the feeling of belonging because he was singing about topics that I saw happen first-hand in my life. This song also has a strong rock influence like many of Jason’s other songs. Without knowing the lyrics completely his music is still easy to pick up on and to sing along to making for an even better concert
However, the listener is brought back to reality after understanding the portrayal of the character’s confusion, from the lyrics “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”. Then, the character’s emotion changes to being nonchalant, with the lyrics “Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me”. The emotion next changes to realization, as the character registers what they have done (“Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead”). After the character’s realization, the listener can perceive that the character is then washed over with regret and guilt for what they have committed. This is shown through the lyrics “Mama, life had just begun, But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away”. The incredible guitar solo that occurs afterward only further emphasizes the character’s remorse, for the sounds of the guitar resembles that of someone who is
And, like, ever since you fell for your Winter Ball date a couple weeks ago, this song has been screaming from every open locker vent and car radio. It’s like being a kid again, but also, like, becoming an adult too.
