Song Review: One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

With all the hype the UK band One Direction have been getting lately, I thought I'd finally search their music to see what it is everyone loves about these boys. Well it didn't take too long to find out when I lent my ears to my first listen of "What Makes You Beautiful." This new pop song is super cute and so catchy! About a girl who just doesn't realize how beautiful she is, and that's what makes her beautiful. What an adorable concept for an even more adorable boy band. This song is the perfect blend of love-struck lyrics, a catchy guitar and drum beat and the sweet tones in Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis' voices. Almost reminding me of a UK version of Big Time Rush, this five-guy group will definitely be winning over hearts with this song, if they haven't already!

American Idol's Haley Reinhart & Casey Abrams to release Christmas duet!

American Idol Season 10 finalists Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams will be releasing a holiday duet this Christmas season. The two will sing a jazzed up "Baby, It's Cold Outside."

The song will be available on November 21st, and the pair have also recently shot a music video for the new song!

Again I say, November 21st will definitely be a big day in the music world. Not only will this new duet be released, but so will Haley and Casey's fellow Idol pal James Durbin's debut album Memories Of A Beautful Disaster, as well as Daughtry's new album Break The Spell and Big Time Rush's new album Elevate.

Album Review: She & Him - A Very She & Him Christmas

Am I the last one to know that New Girl star Zooey Deschanel has a band? Upon hearing this, I just had to check it out, and saw that her band, She & Him, has a holiday release this year! A Very She & Him Christmas is full of the more jazz-pop Christmas classics like "The Christmas Waltz" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas," making for a cheery and charming Christmas album. Zooey's unique voice perfects each of these holiday tunes while M. Ward's guitar playing adds an enjoyable folk vibe to it and gives the album a raw feel. Also included is the original "Christmas Day," a cute, folk holiday tune about, well, Christmas day!

In my opinion, the album's strong point is "Baby, It's Cold Outside." The cute and classy duet fits their voices perfectly and the whistling in the bridge adds to this already great song.

In sum, A Very She & Him Christmas showcases She & Him's take on popular Christmas songs in this delightful album that you should be sure to add to your Christmas playlist.
