Jonathan Hus week 7 - Album of the year Analysis

 



This year, we have seen a number of albums drop that have grown lots of success and listeners. My question to you is what do you think should be the album of the year? There are many different viewpoints and takes on this topic so I will share a few of my own. First off, I would like to discuss the album I believe has had the most influence this year and the fact that the artist who produced it is relatively new to fame. The album I am referring to is none other than Gemini Rights by Steve lacy. This album has hands down swept the nation with its melodic, emotion-evoking tunes. My favorite songs off the album are Mercury, Bad Habit, Helmet, and static. These songs are all extremely popular in their own ways and have garnered millions of listens. Through his music, Steve Lacy has opened a unique way of connecting to his fans and his songs provide a fresh taste of tunes that quench the dry state I feel the music industry has been in recently.

Another Album that I could definitely see as album of the year is Dawn FM by The Weekend. Dawn FM has also acquired millions of listeners and has reached the number-one spot in over 10 countries around the world! A few notable songs from this album are Take My Breath, Sacrifice, Out of Time, Less than Zero, and Here We Go Again. These songs are really catchy and enhance any playlist you add them to. 

One last album that I think could be album of the year is Her Loss by Drake. Although it is pretty recent and just dropped a few days ago, I believe it has album-of-the-year potential. After two years of average Drake albums, Her Loss really surprised the music community in a very positive way. Although it didn't bring many “chill” songs that are more my type, people all over social media are claiming how the album is really great and how Drake has really improved his game. I guess we will just have to wait and see which album will take home the award. After reading about my opinions, I would like to ask you all again what you guys think should be the album of the year.

    I think Her Loss is the best album of the year but I like your opinions.

    That's awesome that you have such a wide range of music tastes. Do you ever get bored of a certain genre or is their one that you like more than the others?

    These are some great albums. I think Gemini Rights deserves album of the year.

    As much as I loved Dawn FM, I personally found it one of The Weeknds weaker projects, and would give AOTY to Her Loss by Drake and 21 Savage.

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
