Sarah Connor-Every Moment Of My Life


German pop singer and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Connor grew up listening to soul music, mostly influenced by her grandfather who was born in New Orleans. A church chorus became her first experience in the gospel music field at a very young age. After participating in different musicals while still attending middle school, Sarah Connor started sending demos to different record labels. The opportunity to achieve her goal came when rhythm & blues and urban producer TQ answered to one of them.

In 2001, their catchy debut single, "Let's Get Back to Bed...Boys," became a chart-topping song in Germany. The powerful ballad "From Sarah With Love" followed in 2002. Both songs were featured on her debut album Green Eyed Soul. A sophomore effort Unbelievable was released in several months times, however it was only available to European fans. American pop music fans got their chance to hear Connor's work when she released her self-titled album, which was a collection of her previous issued overseas, in spring 2004.

It might appear a surprise but Sarah Connor is a German singer. She happens to be a songwriter and performer of her own songs. As for me, she is just wonderful, cute, and very talented. I have recently heard about her previous album release, let’s see if you have heard any songs from it.

So, the album called Sexy as Hell (2008)   is Sarah’s six studio album that has obviously drawn much attention to Sarah since she had some kind of hiatus after her daughter’s birth. I have to say, Sarah Connor is just the singer I love because her songs are so overpowering, you know. There is hardly a girl both in Germany and America who would not like her songs after the first listening. For instance, Just One Last Dance, or the song called From Sarah with Love have the most romantic lyrics I have ever heard. So, the last album’s song I’ll Kiss It Away is surely dedicated to her daughter who she named Summer. But it was the second single released from the album. The first one is Under My Skin, unexpectedly uptempo, I think the last fast track of hers was From Zero to Hero.

In a word, you may listen to all of the above songы (they are easily found on the Internet) or you may download her last album and listen to all of them. Meanwhile, I will be completing my buy essays and essay paper assignments.

Britain's Adele Tops UK Pop Charts For Album '21'

In the two years between the titles of Adele’s debut and this, her second album, she’s clearly seen the world. Where ‘19’ marked the turbulent swan song to a teenage life, ‘21’ introduces the realities of adult life, where grown-up responsibilities collide with heartache and emotional scars run deep.

Though imbued with intimate country leanings, it’s all about that voice. While ‘Rolling In The Deep’ extols thunderous regret, ‘Don’t You Remember’ grieves in elegant acoustics. Adele is sincere, poignant and affecting throughout; the emotive ‘Someone Like You’ closes the album magnificently.

21 is the eagerly awaited sophomore album from British singer-songwriter Adele. It's the follow up to Adele's critically acclaimed, Grammy award winning debut album 19 (both named after her age at the time the songs were written). Recorded in Malibu and London, 21 offered Adele the opportunity to work with such luminary producers and songwriters as Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson and Fraser T. Smith, as well as continuing to work with Francis "Eg" White and Jim Abbiss.

This new collection of songs showcases the growth of this incredible artist, who at the very young age of twenty two, exhibits the poise of a seasoned veteran. Adele's music takes some new direction while staying true to her signature style. "I discovered lots of artists I'd never heard of, particularly Wanda Jackson, Allison Krauss, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Neko Case, Lady Antebellum and Steel Drivers who I fell in love with. Then I delved in to more from artists I've loved forever - Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Elbow, Mos Def, Alanis Morissette, Tom Waits and Sinead O'Connor. There's something in every single one of these artists that have really really inspired 21."

Adele has now ruled the UK album charts for the seventh consecutive week with her "21" album. When released in January, the album received generally positive reviews. However it sold more than 200,000 copies in the first week and it debuted at the number one position on the UK charts.

The first single pre-released from the album late in 2010, 'Rolling in the Deep', almost hit the top spot, reaching the number two position in the UK. She released the second single 'Someone Like You' following her very highly acclaimed performance at the 2011 BRIT Awards, which continued to push the popularity of the album. In the US, the first week of sales of over 350,000 pushed the album to the number one position.

Still at the chart top, "21" has held off competition from British rockers Elbow with "Build A Rocket Boys!" sitting at number two in its debut week.

"Who You Are" by Jessie J sits at three, while Adele's 2008 release of "19" is still in the album chart and at the number four position.

In the singles charts, Adele's "Someone Like You" is at the top for the fourth week as the UK's most popular song, with Jessie J sitting at two with "Price Tag".

In 2009, Adele won two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Various music writers have compared Adele to different female singers over the years, singing sensations including Amy Winehouse and Duffy. But as Adele produces more magnificent recordings, the world is seeing that she is in a league of her own.

Avril Lavigne:Wish You Were Here

Avril Lavigne has been on the music scene now for around a decade and she is showing no signs of going away. Avril had a very good 2011, releasing her album Goodbye Lullaby back in March, which had relative success and she is set to up her game in 2012. Avril plans to work with a number of artists in 2012 who she has never worked with before and she is really looking forward to it.

Lavigne explained, "In my new record coming up, I think I want to start off by working with people I've never worked with before because that’s hard to do. When you don’t know someone you have to go in and you write together and you’re recording, you never know, you have to vibe together."

She added, "When you are having a good time making a record that always comes across in music. The energy’s good so things flow better and that’s what I’m excited about." Avril Lavigne is currently working with The Runners and has admitted that things are going very well at the moment and that he 2012 has got off to the good start that she was hoping for.
Avril Lavigne sports the latest Abbey Dawn threads in this spread for her Spring 2012 line. The talented songbird rocks everything from black stilettos, to a leopard print beret, and even a "Stop Making Sense" printed t-shirt (we wonder how David Byrne feels about that). We know that the pop star is a huge supporter of her clothing brand, so you'd think she'd at least crack one little smile for the camera. Ah, well. Check out the Canadian rocker's photo shoot — she's come a long way from her tank top and men's tie days.




Wish You Were Here - Avril Lavigne  Lyrics
I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you, It's not like that at all
Theres a girl who gives a shit
Behind this wall
You just walk through it
[refrain]
And I remember all those crazy thing you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
[chorus]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, Here, Here
I wish you were here
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Near, Near, Near
I wish you were here.

I love the way you are
It's who I am don't have to try hard
We always say, Say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

[refrain]
All those crazy thing you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
[chorus]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, Here, Here
I wish you were here
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Near, Near, Near
I wish you were here.
[bridge]
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go
Let go, Oh, Oh,
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go
Let go, Let go, Let go...
[chorus]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, Here, Here
I wish you were here
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Near, Near, Near
I wish you were here.
