The Music of June

June is the biggest month in music that has happened so far in 2015. Multiple (hopefully) solid albums are going to be released. I know what your saying. But, Madonna's album, Rebel Heart, came out in March. That is true, but one queen cannot hold down an entire month. The only month that really rivaled this was January when Fall Out Boy, Ella Henderson, and Marilyn Manson all released new music.  

Granted I didn't buy any of those albums. I am working on it. I was trying to save money by not buying music. And, then I bought 20 albums this month, so I think it worked out really well for me. 

Florence + The Machine
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
June 2nd

This is going to be the third album by British indie rock band Florence + The Machine. You should know them for their hit single “Dog Days Are Over” and for lead singer Florence Welch's wailing on Calvin Harris's hit “Sweet Nothings”. Vocal stylings are Florence's prowess. She has a very unique voice and all of her albums have been critically acclaimed. I know multiple people who love and adore this band. 

This is going to be my first Florence + The Machine album. I've decided this is going to be my first experience. I've always liked them, but I am obsessed with their song “What Kind of Man”. The music video is great. Florence Welch has very nice breasts by the way. And, if it is representative of the album at all. This is a stellar release.

Hilary Duff
Breathe In. Breathe Out.
June 16th

My love for Hilary Duff is undying. This is going to be 1 of 3 albums I'm buying on the sixteenth. My body is shaking. This album has been proceeded by three singles “Chasing The Sun”, “All About You”, and “Sparks”. “Sparks” is cowritten by Tove Lo who has been having her own string of hits with “Stay High”, "Heroes (We Could Be)" and “Talking Body”. “Sparks” is Hilary's shot at hitting the top forty. The video is adorable and very Hilary Duff. Ed Sheeran is also a collaborator on this album that was originally titled This Heart. I'm so glad she changed it. Breathe In. Breathe Out. has such a better impact.  It should be a collective mix of quality recordings.

Buy "Sparks"

Ryn Weaver
The Fool
June 16th

Ryn Weaver is the dark horse on my list. She has not had a hit song, but I find her music to be fascinating. The song that's been somewhat successfully vying for radio play is “Octahate” if you heard it on the radio you would not know this was the name of the song. Ryn Weaver would probably fall under “indie pop” because that's where any artist goes if your not sure what their music is. Listen to the song. Make your own opinion. The twins like it and god knows that's hard for us to find common ground on music. She's definitely pretty enough to be a pop star and honestly that's step number one.

Buy "Octahate"

Giorgio Moroder
Deja Vu
June 16th

I blogged about this when legendary producer Giorgio Moroder first announced plans for a solo album and as I said I am keeping you updated. Giorgio Moroder is the man behind Donna Summer and Daft Punk's phenomenal return to the top of the charts with Random Access Memories. This is going to be a 74 year old's take on pop music with vocal stylings of Sia, Charli XCX, Britney Spears, Kelis, among others over the production. New music from mama Kelis is necessary. Her last hit was with Calvin Harris with “Bounce” and that was only in Europe. This could be what she needs to return back on top.

Britney Spears is covering “Tom's Diner” and that song has already been released. It's an invigorated cover and it's Britney. It's a necessary addition to any album collection. Kylie Minogue was on the lead single “Right Here, Right Now” that although catchy, failed epically. Mikky Ekko is also on the album if you have any interest in him after his duet with Rihanna on “Stay”. This might not be an album for you to buy blind, but definitely look into. Giorgio Moroder has been in the industry for a long time and it's sure to be memorable whether or not it's something you want to turn up to at the gym.

Tori Kelly
Unbreakable Smile
June 23rd

The name of her album is Unbreakable Smile and yet she isn't smiling. I honestly don't understand that. But, that's fine. Maybe the Target deluxe edition will have her in full smile. She's the girl behind “Nobody Love”. You may or may not have heard it on the radio. It's catchy. Her vocals are not the best. I can actually say I knew of her before she achieved a certain level of semi-fame. She was on YouTube and more specifically she was on the Superfruit channel with Scott and Mitch. That's when I heard of her and I was like I like you.

This album should be interesting. This is the only one I'm a little hesitant on buying, but I hope it will be good. I have my fingers crossed. I most certainly will be tweeting and tumblring about if it does not live up to expectations. 

Buy "Nobody Love"

Carly Rae Jepsen
Emotion
June 23rd

Hear me out on this one. I know no one likes Carly Rae Jepsen. We're over “Call Me Maybe” and “I Really Like You” is juvenile. Your criticisms of those two songs is accurate. However, her last album Kiss was phenomenal. I bought that album for “Good Time” and I loved it. “Call Me Maybe” was one of the lower moments. Carly Rae Jepsen knows how to make a consistent album. I have high hopes for Emotion and I will shamelessly be buying it. 

Buy "I Really Like You"
