My Favourite Songs in the year 2022

I have a lot of favourite songs.     My favourite songs are, “Dark Horse” and “Roar”, by Katy Perry, “La Isla Bonita” by Madonna, “Ha, how you like that”, from the BLACKPINK band, “Chola, chola” and “Ponni Nadhi”, from the movie Ponniyin Selvan, “It’s my life”, by Bon Jovi, “It’s a sin”, by the Pet Shop Boys, “Dancing Queen”, by ABBA and finally “Halamathi Habibo”, from the movie Beast.

Katy Perry’s voice modulation in the songs Dark Horse and Roar is pretty good.  In the song Roar, I like it when Katy Perry changes her tone or pitch in the middle of the song and when the word “Aphrodite” is sung by Katy Perry in the song Dark Horse, it kind of makes me think of the “Goddess of Love and Beauty”, Aphrodite.    

I like the song “La Isla Bonita” due to the lyrics and Madonna’s voice. Madonna’s voice is really good in this song.

The song “Ha, how you like that” is a mix of Korean, Japanese and English.  I like this song, it’s particularly different from the songs that I have listened to.  The BLACKPINK band is a girl pop band.  The BLACKPINK group consists of four ladies – Lisa, Rose, Jennie and Jisoo. This song was released on June 26, 2020.  The BLACKPINK group won a MAMA award, for Best Dance Performance in the year 2020 for the “Ha, how you like that” song.  Check out this website to get more information on the BLACKPINK band:- https://www.blackpinkmusic.com.

The song “Chola Chola” is sung by Nakul Abhyankar, Sathyaprakash, and V.M. Mahalingam. The movie and the book Ponniyin Selvan is about the Chola dynasty.  The words, “Chola, chola” gives me a vivid image of the Chola dynasty in India.  The song “Chola Chola” gives a small explanation about the Cholas. I like the song as it is filled with many tongue twisters.  

The song “Ponni Nadhi” is sung by A.R. Rahman, A.R. Reihana or Raihanah and Bamba Bakya. “Ponni Nadhi” refers to the river Cauvery.  The song “Ponni Nadhi” is sung when Vandiyathevan (a character in the Ponniyin Selvan book and movie) is travelling to the Chola kingdom in his horse.    The “Ponni Nadhi” song is quite attractive and gripping so I like this song.

Bon Jovi’s voice in the song “It’s my life” is quite clear in spite of the loud background music.  The background music in the song, “It’s my life” has been characterized as pop rock arena rock.    I like this song due to its background music.

“It’s a sin” song is almost the same as “It’s my life” song.   I like this song as the lyrics are good.   The lyrics may seem bad too few people but the rock music in this song overshadows the lyrics.

I don’t have a reason why I like the Dancing Queen song by ABBA. 

I like the song “Halamathi Habibo” as Anirudh Ravinchander’s (singer) voice is catchy and the dance is really nice.
