Jay Sean’s “2012” is a probable chart ruler. The track’s message is optimistic, its title catchy and music adhesive. [break]It demands attention, especially as it uses 2012 – the end of the world – to relay the not-new message of living life to the max. Upbeat and addictive, the track is a mood elevator. Also called “It ain’t the End of the World,” the song is a potential hit.
“Just the Way You Are” promises Peter Hernandez Jr., better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, top of the crest in singing career. This song might be Bruno’s debut as a singer, but Bruno itself is not a new name in the music world. He is well known for his works as a co-writer of international successes like “Wavin Flag” and Florida’s “Right Round”. “Just the Way You Are” is the lead single from his upcoming debut album. The track through its lyrics strikes a chord in everyone who’s been in love. Moreover, the song’s compactness is unfailing. With qualities as these, the song can be expected to hit the chart highway.
“Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry is very Katy Perry indeed – all pumped up, strong beats and bold confessions. The song precedes “California Gals” as part of Perry’s third studio album, “Teenage Dream.” Though it doesn’t portray the singer as versatile, it refuses to be shooed off. The song is easy to the ears and sets the impulse to enjoy it strongly – a Katy Perry trademark. Maybe not number one, the track can still be expected to rule the airwaves.
Mohombi’s “Bumpy Ride” has every chance to put a tough fight for more time on air, in cars, gyms and the dance floor. With a beat like that, the track is an instant mood lifter. Lyrics may not be the best part but the adhesive quality definitely is. Born to a Swedish mother and Congolese father, Mohombi aces on African beats as best as he can to give the song a new taste. This infection therefore makes the creation of a contender for the top positions in pop charts.
“For the First Time” is natural and grabs the audience without the slightest effort to scream for attention. It therefore is not wrong if “Script” is expecting a good reception for this one. The song’s about a couple trying to stand up after a fall – a dynamic of a relationship only occasionally ventured in songs so far released. Further, the effort is worth applauding. It’s not just Script fans, but all ”good music” lovers, who will be able to find themselves in tune to this smooth creation off Script’s sophomore album, “Science and Fath.”
Nelly’s “Tippin in da Club” released on August 17 tries to unleash the “dance demon” in every person. Though the song does not have much element that would sound new, it covers up this drawback with its lively tunes. It is the lead single off Nelly’s fifth studio album 5.0., and given the quality of the music, it can be expected to nab airtime off other weaker releases.
“White Sky” is another best release of the week. It is the second song off Vampire Weekend’s new album “Contra.” With success as that of “Giving up the Gun,” Vampire Weekend’s fan base has definitely surged, but “White Sky” makes no promise to repeat it. However, the lyrical expressions and an easy-going nature of the group’s music is sweet enough to anchor the audience.
Upbeat tracks, namely, “2012”, “Just the Way You Are”, “Teenage Dream” and “Bumpy Ride “ have dominated much of the positions of the seven seats on Top Spin this week. On the other hand, “For the First Time” and “White Sky” have climbed up through their lyrical strengths, and “Tippin in da Club” with its tune. With responses from the Nepali audience, these songs should soon be escalating the local charts, too.
