Recommended: Women in the music industry influence

After their first successful album DNA, Little Mix is back with their new album Salute. Salute is very Destiny’s Child and Beyoncè inspired, which is completely different than their first album. These four British girls Perrie (20), Jade (21), Jesy (22) and Leigh-Anne (22) have taken the world by storm with the sixteen song track list; it’s hard to pick a favourite.
Track one Salute is an upbeat song that is about gaining respect for women in the work force, especially in regards to the defence force. The sound is dark throughout the track, at the beginning of the song there are alarms and trumpets playing. As of now there is no music video yet, however, there is one in the process. The lyrics speak to many women who are in male dominated work forces. The song tells the audience that you do not need to change for a job and that it is time for women to stand up for their rights. Perrie has said on Instagram that this is her favourite song to dance to. The girls released a single album cover for Salute; this is a look into what will be expected from the music video.
Track two is the massive hit Move. This is about a girl liking a new guy and her wanting to be impressed, in the song the easiest way for a guy to grab her attention is to dance. The sound is up lifting which makes the audience want to get up and dance. Like most dancers say to get lost in the beat of the music, this song easily allows that for the audience. In the music video the Little Mix girls are dancing and gaining attention from male dancers. The setting is very basic so that the audience focuses just on the dancing and not what is going on in the background. The girls released a single album cover for Move.
Track three is the beautiful Little Me. This song is a...

...t moving on that is track ten. This song is about not only a relationship that has ended but also about a friendship that was holding someone back. Someone wanting the other person to change something about their personality that then triggers their insecurities which can leave them questioning the relationship/friendship. The beat of this song is very slow which builds slightly in the chorus, then becoming very slow yet again. In the chorus the piano slightly builds and the girl’s voices build and become louder to signify their hurt. There has been no single album that has been released.
Salute has given Little Mix a new feisty and bold look that has not been seen before with girl groups. After winning the UK X-Factor in 2011 these girls have come a long way and have had creative input with their album. 12 out of the 16 songs were written by the girls as a team.

  • Ravensong by Lee Maracle

    1426 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many times when reading a novel, the reader connects with one of the characters and begins to sympathize with them. This could be because the reader understands what the character is going through or because we get to see things from the character’s perspective and their emotions and that in return allows a bond to form for the reader. The character that is the most intriguing for me and the one I found comparing to every book that I read during school was Stacey from the book “Ravensong” Lee Maracle. The character Stacey goes through a lot of internal battle with herself and it’s on her path to discovery that she begins to understand herself and what she’s capable of. Throughout the novel, Stacey has a few issues she tries to work through. This is emphasized through her village and in her school that is located across the bridge in white town. Stacey begins dealing with the loss of Nora, and elder in her town. And this in return begins the chain of events that Stacey begins on the path of self-discovery not only on herself but everyone around her. She begins to see things differently and clearly. Stacey is a very complex and confused character, and she begins to work through these complexities through her thoughts, statements and actions.

  • War Pigs by Black Sabbath

    The song "War Pigs," by Black Sabbath, argues the fact that, during the Vietnam War, politicians were willing to start wars and cause destruction because they were not the ones in danger of losing their lives or being injured. The song suggests that the politicians of the 1960's and 1970's started a war for fun, treating soldiers in America's army as "pawns in chess." By the end of the song, the lyrics say that those men and women will get what they deserve when their day of judgment comes.

  • What Is Miley Cyrus Parasocial Contact And Regret Theory?

    682 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Wrecking Ball” is pop ballad sung by the American recoding artist Miley Cyrus. Once known and adored by many as “Hannah Montana”, Cyrus shed her childish shell and adopted a sexualized and edgy persona for her fourth album, Bangerz, which “Wrecking Ball” is the album’s second single. The song starts with a quiet and minimalist synthesized keyboard instrumentation which is immediately met with the anguished vocals of Cyrus. Even in the first 30 seconds where only 26 words were sung, the topic of the song is quite evident: a failing relationship. Cyrus starts by crooning “We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain, we jumped never asking why, we kissed, I fell under your spell. A love no one could deny” which could be interpreted as two lovers fought to be together and succeeded in doing so but it was ultimately useless as denoted by “we chained our hearts in vain”. As the song progresses the minimalist keyboard continues creating an open environment in which Cyrus’ emotive vocals can shine. When the refrain is introduced Cyrus’ vocals and the keyboard instrumentation briefly disappear and when they reemerge they are joined with booming percussion that hits sharply, then slowly dissipates. Cyrus’ vocal delivery also changes from the softer, anguished sound to a powerful, almost vindictive roar which quickly returns to the soft delivery with a quiver as Cyrus sings “Yeah, you, yo...

  • Blackbird, by The Beatles

    1245 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the White album, formally known as The Beatles album, Blackbird is deemed as an underrated song. Why do I say this? YouTube’s commentators told me, repeatedly. I personally discovered the song after reading the book The Perks of being a Wall flower during middle school.It was one of the songs that Charlie , the protagonist , had on his mix tape, and I, being the curious soul that I am, looked the songs up. Blackbird completely outshone all of the other songs. Back then, I felt like it was written for me. Thus, when I picking the songs, Blackbird was naturally one of my top 5 songs. Although, I have to admit that I did not realize that it was so popular, until I noticed that a lot of my peers are going to be writing about it as well. Back on track, Blackbird is two minutes and eighteen seconds long. It is listed as number three on the second side of the White album, and it is beautiful. In context of The White Album, the song Blackbird creates an uplifting and hopeful experience through the use of raw instrumentation and vocalized repetitive lyrics that ultimately enchant the listener.

  • Not Waving but Drowning, by Stevie Smith

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Nobody heard him, the dead man, / but still he lay moaning:” This is how many people go on through life. Many are dying inside but you would never know. It is possible for people to create masks to hide their emotions. Sometimes these masks are so deceptive that even close friends or family members cannot see through then until it is too late. In Stevie Smith’s poem, “Not Waving but Drowning” the writer effectively highlights how someone’s cry for help can be mistaken for joy. It is important for people to at least have someone who cares about them and knows them well enough to see when something is going wrong in their lives. This can often be the lifeline that saves one from drowning.

  • The Objectification Of Women In Music Videos

    1834 Words  | 4 Pages

    The most common theme in hip-hop music videos is the objectification of females. Women are portrayed as sexual objects throughout the videos. In some videos they are seen as a type of reward or trophy for the male. Other times they are seen holding money to gain the attention of men or are even portrayed as slaves willing to do anything to please the men in the videos. According to Catherine MacKinnon, “Objectification involves treating a person, someone with humanity, as an object of merely instrumental worth, and consequently reducing this person to the status of an object for use” (1989). Her point relates to the hip-hop music videos because the idea that they transmit is that women are only objects available at anytime for men’s use. When women are objectified men feel more “powerful” or “successful” by showing the have control over women.
