All of You [album]

FIND IT:All of You was released in 2011, and can be found in stores as well as on iTunes!
REVIEW:All of You is a fun, cheerful album with lots of upbeat tracks. The meanings to each song aren't always clear at first listen, but as you dive further into the great vocals, the messages they send are as clear as night and day. This is a summary pop album with lots of well-known songs like Brighter Than The Sun. Musical Girl enjoyed this album because all the songs were happy, live-your-life-and-love-it type songs, instead of  the sad heartbreak style many artists choose. If you liked Coco and Breakthrough, you'll love Colbie's third album!

Innocent

FIND IT: Innocent is a song on the CD Speak Now from Taylor Swift, which is available on iTunes.
REVIEW:Innocent is a gentle, sweet song by Taylor Swift with lyrics that work well with her incredible vocals. Her message is very clear. Even if you make a mistake, it's alright. Your "string of lights" will still shine brightly, as Taylor puts it. This song is easy to sing, but not the best to dance to unless you want a slow dance. It's hard to think of anything wrong with this song, because it's all so right.
RATING:☆☆☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆(5/5 stars)

Wits

FIND IT: Wits is Keisja Cox's only single on iTunes.
REVIEW: Wits is an anti-bullying anthem. It's about standing strong, and what to do when you're bullied. It's catchy, not the most danceable, but still upbeat and fun. The vocals are good, a bit higher then was expected, but not too high. The background music is very well-played, too. Basically, to sum it up, it's a good song with a good message by a promising yet not-so-well-known artist.
RATING:✩✩✩.5/✩✩✩✩✩ (3.5/5 stars)

We're sorry!

Musical girl apologizes for the emptiness her blog has come to for months, and is now informing you that more reviews will come, as MG is uploading new songs onto her iPod as we speak-er, type. The next review will be for "Wits" by Keisja Cox.

Who Says

FIND IT: Who Says is a single,available on iTunes, and is in Selena Gomez's album When The Sun Goes Down. It is also available in Spanish,entitled Dices
REVIEW:Who Says is a catchy,positive inner beauty pop song with a clear message. It's not super dancey, but it is very easy to sing. The recognizable voice of Selena gets a bit computerized at parts, and that's not the best from Musical Girl's point of view, but this is a song that lets her kind, helpful side leak out with music.
RATING:☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆(3/5 stars)

Fireflies



Fireflies

By Owl City

FIND IT: Fireflies is available as a single, as well as on Owl City's album "Ocean Eyes."

REVIEW: Fireflies is a very catchy song with lots of different musical stages.  There are some computerized musical parts that hide Owl City's brilliant, calm voice- but the song quality is great all the same. Fireflies is filled with wonder and imagination,  with lyrics that don't really make sense, but that is part of what makes this song so different. The music video, titled Fireflies, just like the song, is beautiful, and really connects the listener to the music. Compared to Owl City's many other quiet, soothing songs and albums, this song is probably the fastest and maybe even the hardest to sing.

We are Never Ever Getting Back Together

We are Never Ever Getting Back Together
By Taylor Swift

FIND IT:
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is a single, and is on the album Red, by Taylor Swift.
REVIEW:
This song is upbeat,catchy, and fits in well with the rest of the album. But,honestly,Musical Girl regrets to state that it is not classic Taylor Swift's country-style. It's new, and exciting, but a little loud, and Taylor's angelic voice is hard to track in this song,and it's more talk-singing than sing-singing,if you know what Musical Girl means. To make a long story short, this is not Musical Girl's favorite song-a bit too much computerized pop-but it has its good parts
