Album Review: Big Time Rush - Elevate

Between BTR's first and second albums, there's an obvious big transition, and there's just one thing to say... they've ELEVATED! Their first album was full of bubble gum pop songs made for the show, and as much as I love those, a lot of these new songs show a more mature Big Time Rush. Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan helped pen eight of the twelve tracks on this album, and though the album doesn't have an initial theme or sound to it, there's definitely lots of catchy beat and great lyrics, not to mention their stronger voices. Not only does this album have songs that have been previous used on the show like "If I Ruled The World" and "Superstar," but it also has a great blend of new songs and sounds. The upbeat songs tunes "Music Sounds Better With U" and "Elevate" will definitely have you dancing, while BTR also takes it down with songs like "All Over Again," "You're Not Alone" and the funky "No Idea." This album also has some electronic pop songs like "Love Me, Love Me" and "Show Me."

But for me the highlights of the album are three specific songs: "Cover Girl," "Time of Our Life" and "Invisible." Three songs all different in sound, but all equally great songs that really show off the guys' voices and bring a warm feel to their album.
"Cover Girl" is a cute, acoustic pop song about a girl who doesn't know just how beautiful she is, but to them, she's their cover girl. An adorable concept for this sweet love song, with relatable lyrics and a very laid back, enjoyable feel to it.

"Time of Our Life" is a catchy, upbeat song that shows a bit more mature voices from the guys as they sing about having the time of their life with a girl. With an intriguing mix of fun, meaningful and love-struck lyrics, this dance song is, in my opinion, one of the best on the album.

"Invisible" was written about their fans, so already, how cute is that? Written in the true perspective of fans, how they may feel invisible amongst everything else going on in the guys' lives. But in the song, the guys emphasize that they don't want their fans to feel invisible, they want them to know that they're always thinking of them and appreciate all they do. Though there's one lyric that hits me every time I listen to the song, "Do you ever think of, what you're standing at the brink of?" That lyric can really get you thinking, do the Rushers realize what they're standing at the brink of? From the very beginning with Big Time Audition to the release of their second album, it's been a successful journey for Big Time Rush, and it's only going to get better from here, and being a fan makes you just as much part of the ride as they are.

How could you be anything but proud of these four boys? This album proves how much they've matured musically, but still has that lovable Big Time Rush feel to it. With a great mix of pop dance songs and sweet, love ballads, this album definitely shows just how much BTR has elevated their music, going from a tv boy band to real music artists.

‎5 days, 5 artists, 5 songs! Day 2: Top 5 - Big Time Rush

Still new to my music library, Big Time Rush has definitely become one of my favorites bands this year. After a big time summer of being introduced to their music and seeing them live in concert, they've made me realize that they're not just a little boy band on tv, but four great performers who have come together to make great music and a great tv show. Here's my Top 5 favorite Big Time Rush songs:

"Big Time Rush"
Gotta go big time! BTR's song "Big Time Rush," in my opinion, defines Big Time Rush on the show. Described as a song about four hockey players who have a great opportunity and are going for it 'big time', the song is Big Time Rush.

"Boyfriend"
Probably one of the most popular songs from BTR, "Boyfriend" was the first song of theirs I ever heard, and seems to be stuck in my head quite often. With it's catchy beat and cute lyrics, this song will have every girl looking for a boyfriend... as long as it's Kendall, James, Carlos or Logan that is!

"The City Is Ours"
From the beginning, "The City Is Ours" has always been one of my favorites. It's so upbeat and catchy, and gets you in a dancing mood, and is a hundred times better live!

"Worldwide"
BTR doesn't sing many ballads, but out of the few they have, "Worldwide" is definitely my favorite. The emotion the guys have in this song is so real as they sing about a girl leaving them, though they're thinking about her 'worldwide'. They put so much feeling into this song, and hearing the softer side of the guys as apposed to their pop rock songs is quite endearing.

"Cover Girl"
Ok, I might be giving you guys a spoiler with this one. "Cover Girl" is off of BTR's new album Elevate, available next Monday, and though it's hasn't officially been released yet, I can't stop listening to it! I'll wait until release day to give everyone my actual review of the song, but at the moment this adorable love song shows a new, refreshing sound and sweet voices of the guys, and it's become one of my new favorites!

Song Review: Big Time Rush - Music Sounds Better With You

"Music Sounds Better With You" is Big Time Rush's latest single off of their sophomore album Elevate. The guys sing about a girl who makes everything better, even music! Bouncing off Daft Punk's "Music Sounds Better" from 1998, the guys, along with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, made some modern day tweaks to the song and "Music Sounds Better With You" does not disappoint! Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan each sound amazing in this upbeat, dance song, and it's obvious BTR have big time improved. If I had to say anything negative though, it would only be that the word "hell" is in the song. BTR has some really young fans, I don't think they should be cursing in their songs. But that aside, I think this song shows that Big Time Rush is definitely elevating their
                                                                      music, and after hearing this song, I can't wait for the rest of
                                                                      their album!

BTR will also be filming a music video for the song next week! Can't wait!
