What I'm Listening To: Weekend Edition

Cascada's (of "Everytime We Touch" and "What Hurts the Most" fame) third album was released about a month ago, and I've been kind of reluctant to get it, but I FINALLY did today, and it's a GREAT dance album.

This is definitely not an album for easy listening, but rather for when you're pre-gaming, or just feel like rawking out. This is one of my faves from the album, entitled "What About Me":




Oh, and if you haven't checked out the first single, "Evacuate the Dance Floor," from the album of the same name, DO IT. You deff won't regret it. Keep it sexayyyy.

What I'm Listening To

The music of the week for spire is none other than Mika's sophomore album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

If you liked Mika's debut, Life in Cartoon Motion, you'll probably LOVE this album. It's a very introspective look at the singer's childhood. The Mika we know and love, euphoric lyrics and soaring choruses, is here and well, but takes a backseat to more emotional, dripping, gouge-your-heart-out slow pieces. I don't want to call them ballads, but quite frankly that's the closest thing to compare them to.

This should give you a feel for the tone of the album -  it's one of my favorite songs from the album, titled "I See You":





P.S. Imogen Heap is featured on one of the songs! LOVESIT!

P.P.S. Have you seen the We Are Golden music video? Hotnessssssss
