Album Review: Big Time Rush - Big Time Movie soundtrack

With the premiere of Big Time Movie just 4 days away, Big Time Rush has released a new 6-song soundtrack! Nickelodeon's fab four takes on the original fab four as they cover classic Beatles hits on this new album.

Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan introduced their fans to the idea last summer when they performed a cover of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" while on tour, which is one of the featured hits. The guys also perform the Beatles' classics "A Hard Days Night" and "We Can Work it Out," giving it their own BTR touch. They as well do justice to songs like "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Revolution." But the highlight of the album for me would have to be the guys' cover of the famous "Help!" They keep the song simple and close to the original, just like the song should be.



Really, who better to cover Beatles songs than Big Time Rush? A lot like The Beatles, they're four very talented and musical guys, who can definitely pull off these covers. You can catch these songs in their new Big Time Movie, premiering on Nickelodeon on March 10.

Big Time Movie soundtrack available March 6

Big Time Rush's new Big Time Movie soundtrack will be available on iTunes on March 6! The new 6-song EP is full of Beatles' covers from Kendall, James Carlos and Logan, all featured in the new flick.

The album includes known covers "We Can Work It Out," "Help!," "A Hard Day's Night," Revolution," plus "Can't Buy Me Love" and BTR's famous cover of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."

You can pre-order the new soundtrack on iTunes now and catch Big Time Movie, premiering on Nickelodeon on March 10!

Song Review: Victoria Justice - You're The Reason (Acoustic)

Aside from Big Time Rush, I don't usually post about Disney Channel or Nickelodeon-spawned artists. But that was before I heard Victoria Justice's acoustic version of her song "You're The Reason." Off of the Victorious soundtrack, this acoustic version is so much better than the original over-auto-tuned, upbeat version. The song starts off with a slow, piano medley as Victoria shows how great her vocals really are, compared to her other enhanced songs. This version of the song is sweet and simple, and sounds of what Sara Bareilles would make a hit. Quite frankly, this song is just all around better as a ballad.

This song is definitely worth the listen!

Song Review: Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars - Safe & Sound

For the soundtrack of the upcoming movie Hunger Games, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, Taylor Swift performs "Safe & Sound," featuring Grammy nominated duo The Civil Wars. This chilling, acoustic ballad showcases what we all love about The Civil Wars, and gives us something new to love about Taylor. Being a different sound than what we've heard from her in the past, she performs this slow, folk song with fragility in her voice, yet at the same time shows strength in the lyrics. Just close your eyes, The sun is going down, You’ll be alright, No one can hurt you now, Come morning light, You and I will be safe and sound, Taylor and Joy Williams sing, keeping the song delicate yet powerful.

Hunger Games is in theaters on March 23.
