The Next Best Thing

Listening to your playlist won't be the same as it was before. Your music gets flat? That's the word I use for songs that I've been listening to since forever. We either resort to new music, or stop altogether until that "phase" is over.

However, you can try something else.

Listening to remixes is one way. It works out for some people and they get to listen to their favorite songs without getting bored. But I rather don't like remixes. The only remix version I like better than the original is Tove Lo's Talking Body. I don't remember whose remix it is but I like it.

I've come across some male versions of my favorite songs on YouTube and found them to be the needed break. They all seem to have been sung by the same person! I'm guessing David Archuleta.

Here they are:

01. Work From Home - Fifth Harmony
This single was all over the place when released. I used to listen to it hours on end. I even tried using those bass apps to make it sound different after all these months.

Instead, I've now found this male version. Which is pretty hot.

02. Into You - Ariana Grande
Straight from her latest album, Into You has been turned into tons of remixes. I liked this male version best.

03. Slow Down - Selena Gomez
Slow Down became my favorite one off Stars Dance. Here is the male version I like even more.

04. Roar - Katy Perry
This is everyone's get-back-up song. Here's the male version I found. Seriously. Who is this guy?

And last but not the least.

05. Burn - Ellie Goulding
This was one of Halcyon Days' best songs. Did quite a number on all of us, didn't it? You can listen to it now in a different voice. The awesomeness remains. Ellie's is still better, but it doesn't hurt. Here it is.

I gotta' look for more.

Oh, and here's who's been singing these songs: no one! These YouTubers have messed up the pitches of these songs to give them that masculine appeal we all can hear.

Lame.

Fifth Harmony has released there much-awaited follow up to their debut album.

7/27 was initially set for a release on the 20th of May. However, they moved the date a week. Critics suggest that this change of plans was to avoid a who-sells-the-most with pop sensation, Ariana Grande, whose third studio album, Dangerous Woman, was set to be released on the same day.

The first single, Work From Home, from 7/27 made it on the Billboard and now is number five on the chart. It features TY Dolla Sign, an American hip hop and R&B recording artist. This was followed, not too late, by the second single, The Life. The album cover was also decided and was shown along with this song. Write On Me was the last promotional single.

Their second is a lot different from their debut, Reflection. It contains more than one EDM-themed songs, Work From Home being the most revered. And also, an indie pop: Dope.

There's also a deluxe version of the album, with two additional tracks.

With this release, 5H has proved that they can reconcile teen attitude with adult sophistication in their music.

Concert dates and the tour schedule will soon be announced.

Ariana Grande has vowed, it seems, to never stop impressing her fans.

Her follow-up album is set to be released on the 20th of May. Having already released some promotional singles from the much awaited third musical phenomenon, the album has gained ample popularity and has added to the impatience of all the Grande fans out there.

Even though the album's lead single and title track, Dangerous Woman, underwhelmed us all in the beginning, we all learned to love it and it secured reputable positions on the Billboard. Followed by which, were equally amazing Be Alright, Into You, Let Me Love You, Greedy, and Everyday. Focus—which was the first ever indication of a follow-up—hasn't been included in the standard edition. But it did gather us all up to anxiously start the countdown to the release of yet another ecstatic album of Ariana's.

The complete tracklist of the album is available online.

What caught all the attention was the dazzling album art: Ariana, literally posing as a dangerous woman, with a shiny black mask and animal ears, a gloved hand, and choker necklace, completing the ensemble.

The whole of Dangerous Woman will definitely leave us all awestruck.
