I just heard a very good remix. Remember when I said in Country you can only do so much before people will catorgize it in a different genre? Well I heard one today and this one actually worked. Country is somewhat rock music. They work well together. Other genres though can just be weird. Taylor Swift took country and pop together. She’s one of the luckiest who can do that. Most country singers don’t usually do remixes, but I just heard a very interesting one just awhile ago.
Jason Aldean has a song called, “Dirt Road Anthem.” I don’t really like it when country singers try to rap. They just can’t do it. It’s just horrible sometimes. Which is reason why I didn’t give Mr. Aldean half a chance when I first heard the song. While I was Twitter, I saw Ludacris tweet, “Jason Aldean feat Ludacris Dirt Road Anthem is almost Gold on iTunes! Wow! This shows the power of music & stretching the limits!!” I instantly looked it up on Spotify and found it. I thought it was better than the original. Knowing that there’s an actual rapper in the song actually makes it better. My friend Mandy is going to kill me for saying that now.
Something that doesn’t right though. I noticed my “Recently Added” playlist on my iPod was filled to 15 songs than just 12. I bought 12 songs earlier this week and when I had my sister update my iPod two days after, so I can my songs on “Recently Played” playlist. I looked at these other songs. The last song was “T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)” by will.i.am featuring Jennifer Lopez (which I was fine with) and Mick Jagger. My instant reaction was “what the hell?!” I don’t like rockstars teaming up with pop stars, especially when a lot of rockstars have their songs played on pop stations and they have to tell everybody that their songs aren’t pop in anyway. You get a guy like Mick Jagger who probably went in his head, “Oh, since Maroon 5 is writing a song about me I might as well make a comeback.” Ok, he got half of that right. Apparently he’s making a comeback into a genre where other rockstars defead themselves on the regular basis.
I liked how the song sounds and anything that will.i.am and Jennifer Lopez does is amazing good, but knowing that Mick Jagger is in the song bugs the crap out of me! Not everybody can make everything go right. They can always try, but some are going to fail one way or another. If Mick Jagger does decide to come back and make an album, I hope he doesn’t make a fool out of himself or anybody else for that matter. Just saying. That’s it, I’m done.
