Don't You Leave Me Brokenhearted Tonight


I'm probably jumping on this a little late, but I really can't get this song out of my head:

Brokenhearted

It's fun. It's pop. It's a little bit of rap. And it has the making for a hit. It kicks off with a catchy guitar riff (like other guitar riff-filled songs like "Domino," "Moves Like Jagger," and "Good Feeling"). Amy's voice is different and intriguing and not the sound of every pop princess out there. I feel it is very inviting and makes you want to be a part of the song! And this song is just so relatable. It's about that time from when you first meet someone and you really like them and want to hear from them, but you're not sure how they feel, and your thought process through the whole thing. Ahh, such is life!

Karmin is the dynamic duo of Amy and Nick (who graduated from the Berklee College of Music) that just balance each other so well. They got their start by doing covers. You might have heard/been impressed with their cover of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now"

Who knew a white girl could rap like that and be so articulate? I was astounded that when she raps, you can understand every. single. word. But when Weezy or Busta Rhymes raps, you cant understand what they're saying. You can click here if you'd like to compare.

They were recently featured on SNL and I think did a stand up job! They performed "Brokenhearted" and "I Told You So" which features Amy's likening to rap. I really enjoy how they are able to produce music in different genres. And still sound good! Real good!

What's even more impressive is that they lyrics aren't strictly about bitches and hoes and drugs and hooking up. It proves that you don't need to be vulgar to make good music.

They're gonna be BIG. As time elapses and they get more comfortable and develop their sound, they're gonna blow up. And in terms of "Brokenhearted," THIS could get BIG!

Also Amy's just got some really fun hair!
