No 18 is about classics.
So therefore, I give you not only one – but TWO today’s songs!
18a & 18b. 🙂
If you did forget about these tunes you can bring them back in to your iPod and get nostalgic all weekend long.

18a

Still D.R.E. – Dr. Dre feat Snoop Dogg
From the album 2001, released in 1999

18b

Naughty Girl – Beyonce
From the album Dangerously In Love, released in 2003

I hear a lot of people always complaining on the lack of singing talent in this gorgeous lady.
And, that she doesn’t even really sing the words but more like talking through the songs.

I’m inclined to agree a little bit, even though I like her.
I’v seen her live at a club in NYC, or at least she lip synced live.

How ever – I’ve liked a few of her earlier songs, and she’s obviously got some hits – but she’s definitely no Beyonce in my world (or even close)
Despite that I do like this new track, more than the previous one.
The music loop makes me happy, it feels light and uplifted.
So therefore this will be today’s song # 17!

King Of Hearts – Cassie
Released on iTunes feb 14th 2012

Kind of cool I think!
And Kat is definitely a cool cat; dancer, singer, actress…
She’s starring in the Honey 2 movie. Not an oscar potential movie perhaps, but Honey is a classic, you can’t deny that. 😉

Put Your Graffiti On Me – Kat Graham
Released on iTunes march 26th

I can divide my music taste into several categories…
One category with awesome music – that’s good ‘for real’ and that I’ll most likely will stay in love with for the long run.
There’s also one category with songs that’s just super commercial and that I like when it’s brand new – simply cause it is new, fresh and probably real catchy.
Then I use it – in my classes.. cause most people do like it, and listens to it, but then I get fed up just as quick as I liked it.

Today’s song belongs to that later category I’d say.
But right now – it’s happy, new and yes – it’s catchy of shizzle!

Dance Again – Jennifer Lopez feat. Mr WorldWide (Pitbull)

Released on iTunes april 2nd.

❤ Nicki Minaj!
Her new album released on iTunes today – and I’ve already downloaded it.
It’s really diverse and it’s just awesome!
No matter if you prefer the hard core rapper Nicki or the more uptempo pop Nicki (like the first single Starships) you’re gonna love the album.

Any track could be today’s song – but I’ll pick this one to start this tuesday with.
Enjoy!

Pound The Alarm – Nicki Minaj
From the brand new album Pink Friday… Roman Reoaded, that released today.

Is a brand new song that got all the ingredients to become a hit these days;
A sampled loop, a dubstep break… and Pitbull!

The song from the new Men In Black-movie.
I’m not totally sure that I like it though – but I’m sure it will be a hit. I’ve used it as a warm up in my classes last week and people seems to like it.
But – even though I’m not totally convinced, it gets to be the today’s song.

Back In Time – Pitbull
Released as a single on iTunes march 26th.

You might know by now that I do like Rihanna – quite a bit.
One of my favorites from her latest album is this track, fo shizzle! Great for dancing, and great for “just” listening. What ever you prefer!

Cockiness (Love It)
From the album Talk That Talk that released in late november 2011

Today’s song is definitely not new… quite the opposite actually!
Originally it’s a demo song written for Pussycat Dolls – but it’s Chris Brown that sings on the demo.
It have never been recorded for real – or released more than online.
But I like it a lot!!! And I’ve listened to it a lot.
Enjoy!

Captive – Chris Brown
Not available on iTunes.

I’m not a super big fan of Flo Rida – but I kind of like this track. And I do like Trina… At least some of her tunes are really good.
It’s short – but sweet!

Dumb – Flo Rida feat. Trina & Pleasure P.
Not released on iTunes yet.

I’m repeating myself a bit – with yet another awesome T-Pain tune.
Loved this from the very first time I heard it.
At our latest BEATZ-event (in jan) I taught a routine to this track – and after that also in my monday class.

Turn All The Lights On – T-Pain feat Ne-Yo
From the album rEVOLVEr that released on iTunes early december 2011.
