Music has the powerful ability to elicit memories. Personally, I love music that has a lot of vocals. I remember reading an article that said music preference is an excellent indicator to personality type. Specifically, it noted that most people that like vocal heavy music are extroverts. They feel more connected to people through the vocals. I find it’s true for me.
I’m instantly transported back to the dance floor by simply closing my eyes and listening to the powerful vocals of Millennium by Juanjo Martin and Rebeka Brown. In Celebration, Madonna promotes hedonism saying, “if it makes you feel good, then I say do it. I don’t know what you’re waiting for.” I’m reminded to live in the present in “Today is my day” by Tikaro, J.Louis & Ferran. The deep, filthy dirty base of Hoxton Whores “Devil Toy” would make anyone with a pulse bob their head or tap their foot. “Happy House by The Juan MacLean instantly puts a huge smile on my face.
So here they are…
