Joshua Grynbaum Week 7: The Melodic Blue Deluxe Review

  After working on a song analysis for Baby Keem’s song "16", I decided to give the rest of the album a listen, and I can assure you that it was worth it. Recently the original “The Melodic Blue” received a deluxe album, adding ten additional songs, totaling up to 26 songs. The 16 original songs in “The Melodic Blue” included many talented pieces by not only Baby Keem, but features by Kendrick Lamar, Don Toliver, and Travis Scott. The inclusion of these artists really contributed to the success of this album. A few of my favorite songs from the original album include “Trademark USA”, “Lost Souls”, “Family Ties”, “Durag Activity”, and the one and the only, “16”. These songs, in addition to the other pieces, made “The Melodic Blue” such a great and successful album, but the addition of the “deluxe” version enhanced its success.


“The Melodic Blue Deluxe” included not only features on songs from the original but also many new hits. The first song on the deluxe track was a feature by Brent Faiyaz on the popular “Lost Souls.” This feature not only enhanced the original song but also served as a perfect lead to the rest of the songs. A few of my “deluxe” favorites include “Killstreaks” feat. Don Toliver & PinkPantheress, “Fine China”, and “Bank Account” feat. Lil Uzi Vert. These songs really match the same video as the original album did, but complement them in a way that improves both albums. Although I do love the new “deluxe” album and all the talented pieces it brought with it, I still think the original “The Melodic Blue” remains on top.

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...
