Subject of the Talk: The Rhythm

It is always my dream to become a singer and to dominate the stage and also to be spotted by the lime light but sad to say, I don’t know how to sing but I definitely love music. It was my first love, to sing and secondly is to dance and then I develop the passion in writing because of reading novels. Actually, without being bias, people tend to show their greatness when they hear me singing in front of them but for me, I believe I don’t have that talent. I can’t even reach the highest pitch or to sang the song of Beyonce Knowles’ Listen or Whitney Houston’s Try It on my Own but then, I still love to sing. So much for that, before I decided what to make this blog, I decided to be a music blogger since I merely love music at all, you can see me singing one of my favorite songs over and over again. My close friends told me that every time there’s a new music, I’m always updated, UPDATED as in UPDATED because before that music is being forecast on the radios and other local TV shows here in the Philippines (Philippines is always late in terms of music) I already memorize the song. Of course, I’m still updated with the latest moves. It’s one of my hobbies, to dance. Dancing is the most enjoyable exercise ever!

Since we are talking about music, this article of mine is also about music and the persons behind those Top songs in iTunes if you know what I mean. Music is divided into many genres in many different ways but the most common genres are the POP, R&B, ROCK, ACOUSTIC and HIP-HOP music. Now these 5 genres are the most common and often used by many artists in today’s generation. And this defines the 5.

POP- its term is originally derived form the word “popular” it is “usually understood as the commercially recorded music”. This type of genre is being oriented by the youth since this are the most listened type of music and this are simple songs that utilizes technological innovations to produce another new type of present themes.

R&B- commonly known as the “rhythm and blues”. Actually, when I was young, I call this as the RNB which I actually thought correct but the big thing is, until today, R&B is still called as RNB. This R&B is a type of music of popular African American songs.

ROCK- Rock is typically played by electric guitars. It is a genre of popular music that was develops during and after the 1960s which has roots in the year of 1940s and 1950s. This genre is being influenced by the rhythm and blues and country music.

ACOUSTIC- is now one of the most and often heard by the radio. Some artist which uses these genres revives old or new songs into the most solemn type which is acoustic. Commonly, rock and pop songs are the music usually revives by an artist. It comprises music that solely or primarily uses instruments like guitars which produce sound through entirely acoustic means.

HIP-HOP- also named as rap music or hip-hop music is a type of musical genre that consists rhythmic music and melody and accompanies rapping. Hip-hop is the most wonderful music since it requires rhythm and tuning and of course proper uses of words which sounds the same. The best example that suits to this is poetry or poems. It has merely the same type of word or sound that was used.
