Coldplay “Adventure Of a Lifetime” (Hannah V.)
Giving this song a funky fantasy, Coldplay returns with a new album A Head Full Of Dreams. One of the songs stands out from the album is “Adventure Of A Lifetime.” Coldplay’s new song follows the band as they encounter a dream girl to release their magic. “Adventure Of a Lifetime” brings alternative funk to Coldplay’s sound, which makes it magical to listen to.
Biggest thanks to Hannah for recommending this song!
Super Junior “Magic” (Fatima)
One of K-Pop’s veteran groups, Super Junior return to the music scene with a little “Magic.” Their new song, “Magic,” follows the male group as they try to impress their love interests with funky brass and upbeat tempo. “Magic” is a refreshing song for Super Junior and will make their audience feel good with their partners. With slick dance moves and great vocals, Super Junior cast their “Magic” to everyone.
Biggest thanks to Fatima for recommending this song!
One Direction “Olivia” (Carrie H.)
Before going on a hiatus, British sensation One Direction has returned with new music from their album Made In the A.M. One of the songs stands out from Made In the A.M. is “Olivia”. The British group sings about a girl named “Olivia” and how they still love her despite not seeing each other as often. This playful, catchy song captures their love for “Olivia.” It will make you appreciate and hold on to your Olivia.
Biggest thanks to Carrie for recommending this song!
Drake “Hotline Bling” (Rand B.)
When you thought you could escape this phenomenon, it comes back with turtlenecks. Rapper Drake released his smash-hit, “Hotline Bling” just in time for 2015 to end. “Hotline Bling” is about a guy who wonders why his girlfriend doesn’t call him on his cellphone anymore. The song continues when he misses those moments when his girl calls him. So grab your turtlenecks and your best Drake moves as you dance along to this “Hotline Bling.”
Biggest thanks to Rand for recommending this song!
Bishop Allen “Click, Click, Click, Click” (Joni H.)
Want to feel like you’re in a movie? Live every moment through camera lens? Try listening to indie rock group Bishop Allen’s “Click, Click, Click, Click”! From their album The Broken String, “Click, Click, Click, Click” is about capturing every important moment out of coincidence. It finds meaning in a person’s life whether they’re family or a random stranger. Bishop Allen’s song uplifts anyone’s sadness and makes them feel important.
Biggest thanks to Joni for recommending this song!
