My love for music!

Hi!
In this post I am going to be talking about music! I have always had an ongoing love for music. Music is one of my biggest hobbies. I am in chorus and I play the trumpet for band. Some of my favorite artists at the moment are Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Billie Eilish, Queen, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, the Jonas Brothers, Lil Peep, Khalid, Luke Combs, and Dan+Shay. Luke Combs recently did a collab with Crocs based on his latest hit song, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," while Post Malone also did a collab with Crocs on his latest album "Hollywood's Bleeding," which I think is really cool. Post Malone's latest album, "Hollywood's Bleeding," has some of my new favorite songs like Circles (which as I write this is currently playing on the radio), and Saint-Tropez.

Record Companies
As all artists sign to record companies, (like Atlantic, Sony, Universal, etc.) I recently found out that my friend from camp has just signed to Atlantic Records at the age of 13! I am very excited for them and to see their future bloom!

Artists and their latest songs!
Billie Eilish just came out with a new single called "everything i wanted" where she explains how she had a dream, and in that dream she committed suicide. PewDiePie, one of the most famous YouTubers on earth, recently dropped a single called "Mine All Day." Post Malone recently released "Take What You Want," and Dan+Shay and Justin Bieber now have a song called "10,000 Hours."

Bands that recently got back together
Some bands that recently got back together are the Spice Girls, Outkast, the Backstreet Boys and the Black-Eyed Peas (without Fergie).

My hopes with this career
I hope to be able to pursue singing, as it is a hobby of mine. As a soprano, my lowest note is an F3, and I hope that I can improve that. My highest note is an A5, which I also hope to improve. Tell me down In the comments what your highest/lowest note is!

Metallica Albums Rated

Metallica. One of my favorite bands. If you haven't listened to them, and you're a fan of metal, you need to give them a try. https://www.pandora.com/artist/metallica/AR76blkv44mhfXK Through the magic of internet radios, here's some music. And before you get on my case, I'm not reviewing Lulu, Garage Inc., or Hardwired...to Self-Destruct. Now, let's get on with it! Starting in chronological order...

Kill 'Em All (1983)
Amazing debut album. Really nothing else to be said. Standout tracks are Hit The Lights, Jump in The Fire, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), and Seek and Destroy. 9/10


Ride The Lightning (1984)
You would have expected a dropoff in quality with the fact that this album came out a year after their last album, but it really lives up to its predecessor. Standout tracks are Creeping Death, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, and Trapped Under Ice. 10/10

Master of Puppets (1986)
Another phenomenal work. Also, Cliff Burton's last album. May he rest in peace. Standout tracks are Battery, Orion, and Master of Puppets. 8.5/10

...And Justice For All (1989)
Another amazing one. I've found that it's easier to talk about a bad album than a good one. Standout tracks are One, ...And Justice For All, The Frayed Ends of Sanity, To Live is To Die, Dyers Eve, and Blackened. 10/10

Metallica/ The Black Album (1991)
I would consider this the last album where most of the songs are solid. Standouts are Don't Tread on Me, Wherever I May Roam, The Unforgiven and Enter Sandman. 8/10

Load (1996)
The quality starts slipping here, folks. My God. Standout track is King Nothing. 6/10

Reload (1997)
Still disappointing.  Standouts are Fuel, and The Unforgiven II. 5/10

St. Anger (2003)
Let's just forget this one exists. There's nothing more disappointing than this. Imagine you're a Metallica fan, this album just released, you think "The last two were stinkers, sure. But they can't possibly get worse, right?" So you get home after buying the album, you put it on your music player, and this radio-centric garbage comes out. If you were me, you'd say, "Screw it, I'm pulling a Mustaine." Then you would defect to Megadeth. No standout tracks. 0/10

Death Magnetic (2008)
Their first thrash album in almost two decades. Yes, AJFA came out in 1989, but it was a progressive album. Standout tracks are The Day That Never Comes, All Nightmare Long, and Suicide and Redemption. 7/10

Piano

                        

Piano

I've been playing piano for two years now. That might not seem like a long time, but it can be for some people. Since I have been playing for so long, I have faced some difficulties. Here are some tips if you just start playing

-Tip One: Don't stress over a difficult piece. If you are currently practicing a difficult piece, don't worry. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to completely learn a new piece of music. 

-Tip Two: Practice one hand at a time.  If you can't seem to play music with both hands at the same time, practice each hand individually. (I usually do this.)

-Tip Three: Take your time. Like I mentioned in Tip One, it doesn't matter how long it takes you. Just relax and take your time.
