This week, two songs that I wanted to present is Lana Del Rey's Fucked My Way Up To The Top and Seven Devils by Florence + The Machine.
"Life is awesome, I confess. What I do, I do best"
As Lana starts the song with this careless sound poem, her unique and ethereal voice is what I call mesmerizing. All the details in this song are phenomenal and well produced. With the "blackest" drums and bass underneath, this song is carelessly sexy. With the amazing combination of lyrics, harmony, and performance, whoever listens to this song should feel "fuck it, I am the best".
On the other side, Florence Welch has one of the most epic voice ever, especially in the song "Seven Devils". One of my favorite songs of all time, "Seven Devils" is composed in the tonality of combining major and minor. With a lot of suspensions and non-chord tones, her unique religious style gave this song a cinematic feeling that will ignite listeners' hearts. "Seven Devils" definitely has the magic to take listeners to a heroic adventure.
