This album is SuperHeavy!!

Have you ever imagined five top world's artist combining in one single band and releasing a massive hit album?
Well, if you have it's the case that you play SuperHeavy!
SuperHeavy is a rock supergroup consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, Damian Marley, and A. R. Rahman.
Just by reading the names you might understand the power and energy this band can release, but when you listen to the album "SuperHeavy" you might remain thunderstruck by its mixture of sounds and musical styles.
Ranging from Rock, to Reggae, up to Indian ballads this album will certainly thrill you.
The unmistakable Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) is perfectly adapted to all the sonorities of the tracks, while Joss Stone brings a touch of Soul music with her tremendous and electrifying voice. Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics) brings its experience on the guitar by making solos and riffs in both rock and reggae styles, never appearing out of the album's concept.
Damian Marley, son of the most famous reggae singer of all times Bob Marley, fills the gap between the reggae rhythm of the band and the rock dresses of their members. Absolutely amazing!
A.R. Rahman, Indian film composer, record producer, musician, singer and philanthropist is capable of bringing into the band the typical ballads of his country, giving the album also an ethnic taste.
In short, this album kicks as*!!

In my opinion this is a perfect example of how some mainstream artists can create a sound that varies from the industry's main one, packing up a product that is perfect from the musical point of view, highly interesting on the experimental side, and soft but definetely conscious on the lyrics.
The album is already out (released in September 16th, 2011).

Here's the first single extracted, titled "Miracle Worker"... What are you waiting for?

New Background and Drake's upcoming album!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for joining PlaySnack!. This is our third post since yesterday and we'd like to start a new day with a new background! I chose to use DJ Mehdi's album "Lucky Boy". For those who don't know, DJ Mehdi passed away last Tuesday, the 13th. I thought this was a good way for remembering him.
Rest in peace, friend. Going back to us, I would like to talk about the upcoming album by Canadian rapper and singer Drake.

Drake

"Take Care" is the upcoming second studio album by the artist, scheduled for release through Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records on his 25th birthday, October 24, 2011. Drake's first album "Thank Me Later" was a big success in United States, selling around 1.5 millions copies. Also the album received many positive critics by the most famous magazines and music websites in the world, results that gave Drake a good visibility among the hip hop scene. In fact he recently featured with many American rappers's works in particular with top selling artist Nicki Minaj on her last album. In Drake's new record many producers will be present such as Noah "40" Shebib (who is also the main producer of the album), 9th Wonder, T-Minus, Jamie Smith from The xx, The Neptunes, and maybe Q-Tip (it is still unclear whether whether his tracks will be present). About the artists that will feature Drake in "Take Care" we will surely hear Phonte, T-Pain, Florence and the Machine, 8Ball & MJG, Soulja Boy, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, The Weekend, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and Bruno Mars.

Though the album appears very promising, it is still unclear whether it will reply the success of Drake's debut record. We will just have to wait!Meanwhile PlaySnack! the first official single extracted: "Headlines".

Stay tuned.

Why I chose the Queen as the background..

You might ask yourselves why is there the Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" single's cover as the background of PlaySnack!
The reason why I chose it is that there is NO REASON!
Everyday, I will be changing the background, uploading a different album/single/LP/EP cover.
And the coolest thing is that you can choose what cover you would like to be uploaded!
Just post your suggestion for the cover by posting on the blog, and your choice will be awarded!


This is PlaySnack! Music for everyone, music to eat, music that knows no boundaries. Free Music!
Screw the limits.
Enjoy this trip.
