Musicians have been known for taking hiatus to make better music and well, music video. Uplifting songs are still loved by many, while frustrated, men’s insecurity theme are still popular too. Regardless whether the latter would be able to solve insecurity issues that apparently become more popular as song theme than ever, both are works of art that are supposed to entertain people, not driving them to the edge of a cliff. So, enjoy.
The world music scene is changing rapidly. If Enrique Iglesias once was known for his pop/ ballad songs, he might be well known better today for his electro-pop song Dirty Dancer, a change that happens apparently after a short hiatus (and a probably facial surgery to remove his famous facial mole). Many musicians use their hiatus period to create new music that adapt to the latest musical taste of the current generation, while others go on hiatus to go back to their old musical root –both could bring remarkable success. Singer-songwriter-musician
that has just recently been back to the scene after a relatively long hiatus is Lenny Kravitz. A multi-talented musician, Lenny Kravitz Stand –his first single of his latest Black and White America album that is scheduled for autumn release, has received mixed reviews, mostly positive.
The uplifting song is intended to encourage people who are currently enduring a hardship or going through difficult time. With nice, hand-clapping background and easy to listen rhythm, the song has received airplays this summer. Meanwhile, Limp Bizkit, rap/rock band that has been on hiatus for more than half a decade, re-enter the scene with Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra single, the second single of its Gold Cobra album –their sixth studio album. The recording process took almost two years to create Gold Cobra, and critics gave varying reviews and ratings on the album.
While Limp Bizkit’ Gold Cobra focuses on the difficult experiences that people may encounter in their life, Eminem Space Bound speaks about volatile love affair, discussing about the main role man’s insecurity, his trust to this special person and end up disappointed due to her affair with another man. Although the theme seems to be classic, Eminem took the music video to a more edgy core with him supposedly shooting his head up after a breakup with his girl. You can watch their music videos online through online music video site, and decide for yourself which one you like most.
