Collaborations

Music's versatility have given artists a different pattern to work with. Artists' talent with the help of producers have made many great songs using the different patterns. Over the past weeks, I have blogged about a popular remix and the memories that music can help us recall. Well this week I want to discuss collaborations between two or more artists and its success among fans.

Everyone has their favorite music artists that they love to listen to. Some people might have all of their favorite artists' CD's, posters or know every detail of the artists' background information or life. Either way, the idea of making collaborations have proven to be very likable to music lovers because it includes different styles that goes well together. The styles usually include one person rapping and another person singing. Some collaborations that I love to listen to are Chris Brown's song "Deuces" featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall, Twista's song "Make A Movie" featuring Chris Brown, Drake's song "Miss Me" featuring Lil Wayne, and so much more. I love collaborations because it brings a different technique to music, such as adding something else to a song. More specifically, collaborations changes the song from being just a rap song or just singing and turns it into a blend of both. The artists whom are great at rapping raps their verses and the great singers sing the choruses, usually. I believe that the creation of collaborations was bound to be a success because many times it include the two artists that we love or two artists put together turned out to be good. Like many things in life, collaborations cannot always turn out good, sometimes the two people that created a song together did not produce a good mix or their lyrics were off (I can't think of any bad examples at the moment). However, more than often, producers are great at their job and  result in creating a great collaboration by putting the right artists together.

The various things that can be done with music still amazes me. Maybe in the future, someone will come up with other different things to do with music where it might be a success as well. Whatever it is, I can't wait!

  1. I completely agree. I love all of the different collaborations that have recently been out. As I was reading your blog I had Deuces stuck in my head. They are different than normal music and they catch your ear.
