Here! Have a listen
Some songs that have come across my radar via various sources. Just as a beware, I don’t know how this post will appear in Facebook or in Xanga, so feel free to click through to the permalink (http://www.calvyno.com/byroncheng/2009/10/here-have-a-listen/). Also I am not using imeem this time, so full tracks!

Britney Spears – 3. As the title so cleverly puts it, it is about three-somes and such. It really isn’t as fun as Circus was (overall). I imagine that it will end up as the first single that is eclipsed by the second, the way Circus took over Womanizer.

Fall Out Boy – Alpha Dog. If anyone listened to “Citizens for a New Administration”, the Fall Out Boy mixtape that came out before Folie a Deux, this song was one of the openers, though the lyrics were “Welcome to the New Administration” instead of “Welcome to the New Deja Vu” which is quite disorienting for me (but how ironic the words become). Good song.

Jason DeRulo – Whatcha Say. Wrote about this last time. Still a good song, samples from Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek while making the song mainstream ready. Hope people appreciate the sample.

John Mayer – Heartbreak Warfare. Pulls out John Mayer’s great vocals but is backed against a full band. It reminds me of the old stuff that he did. I’m really happy to hear some new stuff coming out.

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance. Keeps the Lady Gaga beat going, and clearly has her voice in it. The rambling bit in the beginning is oddly addicting to sing. Not sure how it will chart, but it _is_ the first single, so can’t be too bad.

One Republic – Secrets. Oh. My. God. I heard this song and just thought “This is totally One Republic”. And it is a GREAT song. Starts with the cello again, and then goes into Tedder’s insane vocals. Is this the One Republic formula for winning songs? Whatever it is, it is AWESOME.

Rihanna – Russian Roulette. A new song from Rihanna (first after the assault i guess). I’m a bit surprised that is it so dark – normally the first single back is the fast, upbeat dance track, and the second is the slow ballad. This one is the slow song, kind of dark. Not bad.

Ryan Tedder – Halo. Ryan Tedder gets to things written about him today. If you were unaware, he wrote Halo for Beyonce (and repeated the background for Kelly Clarkson’s Already Gone – though he says that isn’t true). Regardless, it was a great hook, and here we get to hear his demo for Halo. It’s got an interesting bridge in the middle (but personally I’d say Beyonce carries this song better than Tedder. And Mike Posner’s version isn’t half bad either)
That’s all for now. If you want anything, ask me for it! Or we can talk about music, because I love it.
