ENGLISH TAKEOVER

I seem to be having a love affair with English Musicians, at the moment. First it was Jessie J!

I became a fan of hers via You Tube (how else?) when she was doing covers and then she started to release some of her own music. The first one I heard and loved was DO IT LIKE A DUDE!!...which I choreographed for class and I also taught it to my performance crew!That was a few months ago and now she has a top 10 single you would have most definitely hear, called PRICE TAG!

She seems like a pretty cool chick!Not your typical pop singer, she has swagger, writes her own music, raps and has a voice like an African American Soul Singer!Her music also tends to have meaning, ( like in Price Tags), in that way she reminds a bit of Pink, who has a lot to say as well!


The other artist is Plan B aka  Paul Ballance-Drew, is a British rapper, singer-songwriter, actor and film director ...(talk about an over achiever)!...he sounds like Bruno Mars when he sings but on top of a great voice he also has a great flow!


I choreographed his song HARD TIMES (see below post) again for my performance crew.  I bought his album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks after hearing about him from my brother (thanks Bro)! and I am pleased to report there is not one song that I don't love!Not one that I would skip over! 







Both albums are available on ITUNES!!...so have a listen and let me know, if you agree!!
