Best of music in 2017
We made it through 2017! Thinking back, it went too fast, but we got some pretty great songs along the way. Here is a list of music I believe makes this year legendary.
One Direction Members
I find it quite amazing we got new music from every single member of One Direction, including Zayn Malik! And they are ALL successful! Name another boy band that can do that… I’ll wait. Harry Styles “Sign of the Times”, Niall Horan “Slow Hands”, Liam Payne “Strip that Down”, Louis Tomlinson feat. Bebe Rexha, Digital Farm Animals “Back to You” & Zayn feat. Sia “Dusk till Dawn.”
Camila Cabello
I wrote about her in an earlier issue of Audiation, and man I cannot stop obsessing over her! She is TOPPING the charts (something Fifth Harmony hasn’t done with singles), and she still hasn’t released a debut album yet. I cannot imagine the amount of pressure she is probably feeling considering the amount of success she’s had so far, but I know it is going to be AMAZING. Can’t wait for 2018!
Fifth Harmony
Their new sound and look! With Camila, they seemed like a band whose demographic were teeny-boppers who wear Ugg boots and leggings. Without Camila, they are sexy, daring, rebellious and relevant. I love this version Fifth Harmony, point blank and the period.
Taylor Swift
Honestly, her release of “Look What You Made Me Do” made me think her new album Reputation was going to be edgy, punk and electric, which is semi-typical for her to change genres in a new album. However, in my opinion it hasn’t lived up to that REPUTATION for me. Although very well written and produced, with songs like “New Year’s Day” and “Call It What You Want,” it sounds like she is just confused. But somehow, it works.
Cardi B
I don’t want to say she is the new Nicki Minaj, but she definitely took her spotlight. “Bodak Yellow” is crazy popular, and she’s featured in songs like “No Limit” and “MotorSport.”
