Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another? I find that my music choice changes throughout the day. I still listen to the same genres such as Neo-Soul, HipHop and Jazz however I choose different moods. For example, in the morning I would listen to more positive moods of songs and in the evening they would tend to be darker, heavier beats and lyricism.
Where do you go to listen to music? I often listen to music at home whilst doing work or using the computer and always ensure I have playlists ready for going on drives. I also listen to a lot of live music at gigs and festivals.
Who with? I often share my music on soundcloud and twitter to similar people to me that enjoy my same taste in music. However in person I tend to keep my music tastes to myself as I feel that music can define a person and I like having my own individual style.
What format? Radio, computer, ipod, tv, live, dancing, homework, getting ready ie doing other things - background wallpaper.
Why? What are the pleasures associated with music consumption? What does it offer the audience and what needs does it gratify? Has the way you listen to music changed over time and if so how?
Write down the favorite lyrics and say why.
(Childhood) Ashanti - Always on Time (2002) - RnB was very relevant to me as a child, both my parents and siblings were favourable of the genre.
(Early Teens) J Cole - Losing My Balance (2007) - Music maturity began to develop after coming across YouTube and coming across Underground, new artists. Songs by J Cole often had a meaningful topic and intelligent lyricism that I began to really enjoy and absorb.
(Modern Day) Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me (2014) - Again my love for Hip Hop continues and it is still a top-runner genre in the music industry. Sing About Me is a soft Hip Hop/ Neo-Soul song in which battles a sad, real life topic. As an older teenager I place more emphasis on the use of instrumentals and enjoy hip hop songs with a soulful tone.
