Linkin Park, Aloe Blacc and Incubus Produce "Wake Me Up" with Avcii - Plus news on Katy Perry, Macklemore and Kendrick Lamar
Not many people know but there was a superstar team behind the song "Wake Me Up" that went number one around the world. Not only did Aloe Blacc come up with the main melody and lyrics. The guitars were played by Incubus rocker turned producer Curly Hair. Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park also helped produce the song adding that 10% love, you know.
After all this god-like Avcci came in on a hoverboard and destroyed the track with his synths and cheesy smile. Out dropped a number one hit of epic proportions. It's nice to see real muso's hitting the charts when it's been dominated by pretty trashy songs by Pink and Katy Perry.
I absolutely hated Roar by Katy Perry it was just horrible brainwashing stuff that had a politically motivated message that shouldn't be allowed on air without a dis-claimer.
In other breaking news apparently Macklemore is going to be used by his backers to help make everyone in hip hop look bad. Apparently he's gonna win heaps of Grammy's or a really important one, when Kendrick Lamar really should. The reason is due to politics as Macklemore is a new age rapper that is going to make all other rappers look like mean people that hate and dis-criminate. I'm not sure what to believe all I know is $50 for a t-shirt man do some simple addition.

Premier: John Mayer & Katy Perry - "Who You Love" Music Video (Out Now)
Here it is people the new video of John mayer and Katy Perry for "Who You Love". When I first listened to John Mayer's album Paradise Valley the mentioned song immediately jumped out at me. I knew instantaneously it was gonna be a single, it's just so smooth and soulful.
In the video theirs a lot of super slow-mo and glitter but it's all good. And all the love-dovy stuff kind of goes with the song. My favourite musician on the recording is drummer Steve Jordan. He just kills it with his super-talented feel that makes a simple groovy extraordinary. The lyrics in the tune are also really dope as well as Katy Perry's vocal tone.
Judging by the video and the onscreen chemistry I think John and Katy are completely in love and it could be a long-lasting relationship by the looks of it. Their Chinese horoscopes match so thats on their side (Snake and Rat apparently get along very well, especially as lovers yuckk ;).
And lets face it Jennifer Aniston was way to old for JM. Brad Pitt's ex seems like a complete can of worms and he doesn't need full on trouble in his life no more. It's also not a good loot for famous rockers to be dragged down by terrible actresses (who get their big-breaks like Friends due to nepotism).
I'll leave you with a quote from John Mayer himself that he said about the project for "Who You Love" (he's so emotional in his old age haha);
"Proud of this song, proud of this artwork, proud of this girl"
Well i'm glad to see he still has his priorities right :)
