Pedro Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Other examples of entries from Choose The Album, Then a Song 8 One way to express ourselves while listening to music is by dancing. Choose a song from your album that makes you move, and explain your choice in no more than 250 words. Spoiler Pedro: Fifth Harmony - 'Reflection': "Body Rock" Round Six: Body Rock Fifth Harmony's debut album is filled with some great club bangers that will make the biggest hater move his feet to the beat. Nonetheless, "Body Rock" isn't just that. The song kicks off with a dark and lowered beat along with Ally singing: "I'm dancing in the rain 'cause there's a fire burning deep inside for you". At this point, you know "Body Rock" isn't a mere dance song, they're singing it to someone. Dance and love are reunited here and the union of these two amazing factors could only end up in the world's greatest feeling: happiness. When the chorus kicks in, all the girls shout "all day, I'm only thinking about you all day" and by the middle of it an explosion of happiness takes place. The beat that once was low key and subtile is now explosive and effusive. You can not help but get up, smile, jump, enjoy life and be happy with your loved one and if you're single, I am sure a song like this would inspire you to find the one because "this is how real love supposed to be". This is why I chose "Body Rock". Dancing is a form of art but the best part about it is that you're the author of your own art. For me, dancing is being happy. Being happy is being in love and being in love is dancing your way through life, leaving all the problems behind. Spoiler Bloomers: Vince Staples - 'Summertime '06': "Norf Norf" When writing about Norf Norf, a wise and admirable man once correctly and astutely said, “Norf Norf is a banger, the most immediate song on Summertime ’06. It’s one of those songs that goes straight to hips and the booty, almost forcing them to groove along with the song,” and he couldn’t have been more right. This piece of brilliantly observed insight still holds true today. The song remains the most instantly pleasing and danceable song on the album. Dance songs by nature are accessible. They grab hold of the body and are often undeniably infectious. For me, it’s difficult to not just have Norf Norf on repeat when I play Summertime ’06 and have a dance marathon whenever I listen (despite the fact that I can’t dance to save my life). Vince makes full use of the song’s accessibility to set the setting for the album. While you’re entranced by the intoxicating beat, and dancing around, he takes advantage of his captive audience to introduce the dangerous and deadly dance that denizens of his hometown have to do on the regular. He’s able to cover a lot of territory on the song, running through the city’s regular rhythms of: abortions, drugs, gang and gun violence, fear of the police, and deliver the album’s key track that would be overwhelming if delivered in a less danceable package. Norf Norf is an incredible, my most played song from the album, and a song that’s worth a replay to dance along to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
