We’ve raved about auto-tune, T-Pain and the likes before, but this track right here is sheer gold for anyone left with a sower taste after channeling through MTV nowadays. A while ago, Jay-Z released a called D.O.A. (death of auto-tune), in which he openly condemned the overuse of auto-tune in the mainstream scene today. “This [...]

Jay-Z | “99 Problems” | 2004 The thing about Rick Rubin is that he’s concurrently the most and least talented producer of the Aughts. It’d be fascinating if he weren’t so sought after and considered a sultan of sorts. But since he is, it’s horribly irritating because you never know what the results are gonna be, [...]

Alright, it’s now official: Phoenix is without a shadow of a doubt the most remixed band of the year. This most recent one, penned by the talented uprising DJ Don Diablo, is an interesting mashup of Phoenix’s “Fences” and Jay-Z’s “99 Problems.” You can really sense the tight production work that went into the remix [...]

I’ve already talked a bit about Coldplay’s “Lost+” remix by Jay-Z, back sometime in October. Like I said before, it isn’t anything too extravagant, like Jay-Z’s ‘Encore’ with Linkin Park, but rather something just different - a well received diversification. The video for Lost+ just came out a few hours ago and frankly, on this department, [...]

Call it foresight, high statistical measurement or simply woman’s intuition, but it seems Jay-Z put his bets right, as far as the recent US elections are concerned. Right after the 5th of November and the consequent Obama presidential victory, there were hundreds of bands flooding the Internet with various victory songs - Jay didn’t go any [...]

Lost is definitely my favorite song off “Viva la Vida,” Coldplay’s latest record, released at the beginning of the summer. It’s somewhat dark vibe, amplified by the beautiful dark church-like organ, makes it beautifully haunting and melodic. “Lost+” is one of the four tracks featured on the Lost single out on November 10 (the other songs [...]
