Pia Mia Perez or best known Pia Mia has been around for a while but its only recently her name has been heard on Music Channels and Radios world-wide. This is all thanks to her latest single 'Do It Again' featuring Chris Brown and Tyga. Pia Mia has been branded as Kylie Jenners best friend, but I thought it was time to do a post so you's can get to know Pia Mia as an individual and not just as Kylie Jenners best friend!
Pia Mia was introduced to Chris Brown's manager and record executive Abou 'Bu' Thiam in 2013. She began working on material with producer Nic Nac and has since entered a relationship with him, including a cover of Drake's 2013 single "Hold On, We're Going Home". Later in 2013 Pia Mia's music video for Red Love, her debut single from her first extended play The Gift, was uploaded to her Vevo channel. On December 23, 2013, Pia Mia released The Gift online for free. This was later shortened and released on ITunes.
Pia Mia began working on her debut album in 2014, and as of May 2015, she has recorded over 100 songs for the album. On May 4, 2015, Pia released "Do It Again" as the lead single from her debut studio album. The song, which featured vocals from Chris Brown and Tyga, became Mia's first charting song. It has reached No. 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, No. 19 on the Rhythmic Songs chart and No. 70 on the Canadian Hot 100.
It has come to my attention recently that there is a lot of different artists I love that I wouldn't be awfully proud to admit to listening to, but I am here to admit to it and tell you guys who my guilty pressures really are. WARNING!! Some of these may be cringey!
1/ Okay first off is my queen, Nicki Minaj. Yes you may know I love me some Nicki Minaj because I admitted it over in one of my youtube videos (link). But obviously if you didn't see the video you wouldn't have know. I dont know why I love Nicki Minaj so much but I just love everything about her. When I'm on spotify I can just listen to her albums over and over and not get bored. Nicki is such a powerful woman and I suppose that's why I love her so much.
2/ This one I cant beliebe I am about to admit.. see what I did there? Yes I am weirdly obsessed with Justin Bieber... I dont know what it is but I love listening to the Biebs. He has really catchy songs and he's so damn good looking!! Hate me all you want but Justin Bieber is fabulous.
3/ I suppose being a Chris Brown fan isnt as embarrassing as being obsessed with Justin Bieber but yeah Breezy is another one of my guilty pleasures. Again Chris Browns songs are soo good and whenever I listen to a song of his I am automatically put in a good mood.
4/ Bon Jovi is another one of my guilty pleasure and my mam is to blame for this. Mam loves Bon Jovi so I have grown up with listening to the likes of Livin On A Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name and It's My Life, so of course I am going to have a special place in my heart for them.
5/ Last but not least is Green Day... I know I have admitted to liking rock music before but I really love Green Day. My brother loved them when he was younger and I suppose thats where I got my interest in them as well. I literally love their album 21st Century Breakdown!!
Okay so there is my guilty pleasures.
Have you got any guilty pleasures? Let me know in the comments.
I've been lacking in the blogging department recently and honestly I just haven't been bothered to get back into it. But today is a new day, I am finally motivated to do plenty of things and getting back into blogging is definitely one of them!!
So of course I am back with a music post and while I was gone plenty of new songs have surfaced. I am going to give you guys my top 10 new songs of right now.
I came across this song while flicking through the music channels and I thought the music video was super weird. I flicked past but now, as I listen to the song more and more, I am falling in love with it. It has an indie kind of tune to it, which I love of course, and it is quite a fun song.
Rita Ora is just amazing and I love her so much. Since watching her on the Voice UK I have grown a keen interest on Miss Ora and her music. She's just so fun! This song is quite a dark song, but you know it is wrote from the heart and I love it.
I've never been a fan of Ciara but I do really like this song. Again, like Poison, this song is a song wrote from the heart and I just love how honest it is.
Growing up Hilary Duff was my everything. I loved her in Lizzie McGuire and I wanted to be her in the Lizzie McGuire Movie. When I heard Hilary was making her way back into the music industry I was over the moon. Having bought all her singles and albums when I was younger, I'm sure you can just imagine how happy I was when this song popped up on the music channels.
I am secretly obsessed with Nicki Minaj! I love all her music and I even have a secret jam out to The Pink Print when nobody is home. The night is still young is my favourite song from the album.
I had the privilege of getting to see Pitch Perfect 2 on Friday and I am in love with this song from the movie. Not going to lie, I prefer the Bellas version to Jessies but of course that is just my opinion.
I heard this on my local radio station and the fact Faydee is in made me way too excited. I found Faydee 3/4 years ago through the Janoskians and I have followed his music career ever since. I love this song and it is perfect for summer.
NATHAN!! Anybody who knows me, knows I used to love The Wanted so damn much. I met them, bought all their albums and seen them in concert a few times. Nathan was always my favourite and I am so proud of him to be going solo. This guy has a serious voice and I can see him doing very well.
I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Little Mix. I do however, like their music and I wouldnt change the channel when they come on. Black Magic is a very catchy song and I just love the video.
Charlie Puth is definitely one to watch out for. I, myself love him and his style of music and Marvin Gaye was the perfect second release after his smash hit first single, See You Again. Keep your eyes open for Charlie Puth.

And lets not forget Madonna's return after 2 decades. She certainly made it a memorable one with that fall.
The music in my phone goes from All Time Low and Sleeping With Sirens to Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran to One Direction to even Chris Brown and Kid Ink. I like rap, rock, punk, pop... everything.
About a year ago I started watching Viners like Nash Grier, Shawn Mendes, Cameron Dallas and Jack and Jack and with Shawn making into the music industry, Jack and Jack are getting there too.
Jack and Jacks music is quite different to Shawn's as they're more R&B.
I have all of Jack and Jacks singles because I am in love with them and recently I found out about Skate and Sammy because of Jack and Jack.
I know their music wouldn't be everyone's taste but have a listen before you judge!

I know I am late for this weeks post but I want to do this and not leave it like I normally do.
So I have decided that I would finally review the 5 Seconds Of Summer Album and give you guys my thoughts and my very honest, critical opinion. This is a review on the UK/Irish album. No deluxe version.
So lets GO!
She Looks So Perfect. So this was the first track to be taken off of the album and released as a 5SOS single. Although the boys have had singles from when the recorded by themselves before this was the one that was going to get their name known across the world. In my opinion it was the best choice! She Looks So Perfect shows off the boys vocal talent, Michaels and Lukes guitar skills, Calums bass and Ashtons drumming. It also shows off their punk side, like come on, they're singing about underwear!
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Jake Sinclair.
Don't Stop
Don't stop is the second track and the second single off the album. This song has had a critical reception with some people saying the beginning sounds like a Blink 182 song, not my opinion though. The song is catchy and when it came out it was stuck in my head on the way to school. Again, this song is Pop/Punk or Pop/Rock, which is what these boys is about.
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Steve Robson, busbee.
Good Girls
This song is definitely a lot slower than the previous two songs but its not a ballad. However this song is much more Punk than the other two, which is why I like it. I think Michael taking the lead in the first verse just makes the song more punk. This song gives a different side to the boys as I feel its more Punk than Pop.
Writers:Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard, Roy Stride, Josh Wilkinson
Kiss Me
This song was wrote with Alex Gaskarth who is a member of the Punk/Rock band All Time Low. This song is probably one of my favourite songs off of the album because it just reminds me of some of the old All Time Low songs with 5SOS. Can you get any better?
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth.
*No track by track for 18.
18
Eighteen is basically a track for the girl thats a little bit older than them which they can't get. Every time I listen to this song it brings me back to the One Direction concert and seeing 5SOS live. I like the rhythm and tone of this song and its just so Punk and I love it.
Writers: Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Richard Stannard, Seton Daunt, Ash Howes, Roy Stride
Everything I Didn't Say
The first ballad on the album. This song definitely has a lot of meaning to it, as the boys explain above. Although I am in love with the lyrics of this song, I wouldn't consider it my favourite song off of the album but it definitely shows a softer, lovable side to the boys.
Writers: Ashton Irwin ,Calum Hood, John Feldmann, Nicholas "RAS" Furlong
*No track by track for Beside You
Beside You
This was one of the first songs I found of the 5SOS boys over 2 years ago. I've always listened to it and I still do. I love this because it was on of the songs 5SOS released themselves on their Unplugged EP and it just makes me realise how far they have really come.
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Christian Lo Russo, Joel Chapman
End Up Here
And were back into the fast, up beat, punk songs! I love having this song up full blast in the car or in my room because its perfect. Again, they wrote this song with Alex Gaskarth and I love this song so much because its just so easy to rock out to.
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth
Long Way Home
I can rave about my all time favourite song of the whole album. I do enjoy listening to every song but this song is beyond perfect. The lyrics, the voices, the music, the whole song is just perfection. Again, wrote with Alex and John Feldmann.
My favourite part is the lyrics:
"Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning up the headlights darling
We're just taking it slow"
I just love Calums voice during this part and its just perfect!
I think I said perfect way too much but it is!
Writers: Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, John Feldmann, Alex Gaskarth
Heartbreak Girl
Again this is another oldie from 5SOS that came out back in February 2013. Not much to say about this song apart from the fact that its a 5SOS original, I love it and its the song that I sing in the shower all the time!
Writers: Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Steve Robson, Lindy Robbins
English Love Affair
I love this song because again, Michaels voice makes the song so punk. This song is so catchy and punk/rock.
Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Rick Parkhouse, George Tizzard, Roy Stride, Josh Wilkinson
For the whole album I'd give it and 8/10 because I don't feel its as Punk as the boys can be but I did enjoy listening to it and I am still listening to it.
