Five Interesting Songs of 2009
Here are five songs that I have really enjoyed (or needed) this year. I have been listening to a wide range of music in 2009 and thought that reflecting on that exploration would be interesting. If you think that my list is crazy, just imagine the addition of a Keith Urban song. Yes, I said Keith Urban. Please enjoy!
5) Crank That – Soulja Boy (Travis Barker Remix)
Yes, I know Soulja Boy is a weak rapper, but this remix ALMOST redeems this song. When a remix makes a song listenable, one has to respect it. Thank you, Travis!
4) Erase / Rewind – The Cardigans
I am not sure how I missed this song the first time around. Believe or not, I heard it shopping at the Nordstrom Rack. I so regret not hearing this sooner. As a bonus, I am including a fun remix that brings me back to my high school days.
3) Money To Blow – Birdman ft. Lil Wayne, Drake
I know it is cool to hate on Lil Wayne, but this a mostly a vote for my rookie of the year Drake. Who would have guessed that Degrassi High would produce a talented rapper?
2) Baby, Can’t Leave It Alone – Olu
Yes, I know this song is ten years old. But it almost brought tears to my eyes.
1) Alright – Ledisi
Without being too dramatic, I needed this song this year. My question is, why hasn’t Ledisi gotten the credit she deserves?
