Songs I’m Loving Right Now

Ego
Beyoncé
I Am… Sasha Fierce

Benoncé’s dumbass would release a song like this. It’s fierce as f*** and catchy to boot! Really, the chorus is all this song needs to explain itself: “It’s too big / it’s too wide / it’s too strong / it won’t fit”… yep, she went there…

Me Muero
Utada
This Is The One

Utada’s album may have been bad but there were some glimmery moments of good songwriting. You see, I know she has it in her because I listen to her Japanese releases, but for some reason when she gets around to writing in English she hits a wall of dumb, but [Me Muero] is a shining bastion of good writing and musicallity from her panned second album. Funky 60s era groove, modern hip-hop beat and you’ve got yourself a great back drop to scenes with her sitting in her pajamas, eating Godiva, and reading old emails. “Me Muero” literally means “I die”… 

Untouchable
Girls Aloud
Out of Control

Grade-A British girl group gives us an electronic future of synthesizer and soaring vocals. The world rejoices, so should you.

Key to My Heart
Danity Kane
Welcome to the DollhouseEven though they’re broke up, Danity Kane still has a good single in that sophomore / last album of theirs. [Key to My Heart] is a beautiful ode to a cheating boyfriend with a break comprised of unlocking a lock and stunning harmonies. 

 

Waking Up in Vegas
Katy Perry
One of the Boys

Another rock / pop/ dance track from Katy Perry in the vein of [Hot N Cold] and [I Kissed a Girl] but, the miracle of it is that it stands apart while still feeling cohesive. And whatever those other critics might say, One of the Boys is an excellent album, well worth your money.

1st & Love
Brandy
Human

Perfect Pop & B from Brandy. This song is beautifully produced and sang. It deserves to be a single and another one of 13 excellent reasons to by the album.

Paparazzi*
Lady GaGa
The Fame

You caught me, I love GaGa… for real. She’s classically trained, talented, and crazy all of which make her to most exciting thing to hit pop culture since… uh… I’m not sure, but it’s a good thing, for sure. [Paparazzi], the fourth single (more than likely) off her debut album has a great hook and a stomping hip-hop beat. And the music video is a masterpeice. Pus Pus… (which is Swedish by the way)
 

You Belong With Me
Taylor Swift
Fearless

Taylor is great, and I know she can’t sing live, but I love her anyway. [You Belong With Me] is another great pop song by a country artist and it’s so catchy you just have to sing along…

이발소 집 딸 (A Barbershop’s Daughter)
Hyori Lee
It’s Hyorish

Hyori Lee must have known that the title of her album sounds like whorish, right? And Kuu knew about TRICK, too, right? Anyway, this song features a group of the cutest sounds bunch of young Korean kids singing with Hyori who sounds almost as cute. It’s a great song that most people in the JPop / KPop community have no idea about… now you do… (that is, if you read my blog…)
 

*Okay, so the reason that isn’t [LoveGame] isn’t on this list is because I’ve been obsessed with [LoveGame] since I got the album in November. It’s superfluously amazing. If you haven’t heard it, call you radio and request it. It’s pop perfection…
