WHY THE BRITS WERE THE BEST AWARDS CEREMONY OF THE YEAR.

 Last Wednesday The 2021 Brits were celebrated. Usually in February but delayed due to coronavirus restrictions, the Brits took the O2 Arena with the best ceremony of the year and the best Brits in years. Despite that, the ceremony lost 860,000 viewers since last year. The Dayly Mail points out that it's because viewers wanted to watch a show focused in music, not in politics (Dua Lipa seems to be the one to blame here for claiming better salaries for frontline workers). Anyway, awards ceremonies are losing more viewers each time: The Grammys had  historic low ratings and the same happened with ACM awards in country music or to the Oscars.  However,  this year's BRITS have been one of the best. Here's why: 1. Dynamism  : The set was a big room with the celebrities sat in tables, like in the past years, but due to social distance , there was more space between the tables, so when winners were announced the artists had to walk a longer distance. This showed the true emotions

 Dj Khaled dropped a new album almost two weeks ago ( Khaled Khaled ) , filled with famous collaborators (Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Post Malone, Meghan Thee Stallion...). The third track on the project is We Going Crazy (ft. H.E.R. and Migos). It is the first release for the R&B singer since she received the Oscar for Best Original Song ( Fight For You from Judas and the Black Messiah ) and it consolidates the more urban direction H.E.R's career is taking.  H.E.R. gained popularity in 2017, with her single Focus, with smooth , soothing vocals and shimmering production. In 2017 she featured on Daniel Caesar's Best Part , which won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance and made both artists the face of a new trend of r&b, that was cleaner than the common contemporary and urban R&B , gave importance to soulful vocals and relied on more classic instrumentation.  In 2018, she received five nominations to the Grammys and ended up wining two (the one for Best Par

1.Redwood-Rewind: A ceremonious piano introduces Redwood's soulful vocals that are the star of the song. On the track, she finds peace and hope in the possibility of rewriting your steps and story. There is space for some tenderness too and sweetness ('do it all over again sweetheart '), like she has just found the solution to her problems. The song creates its whole and unique atmosphere of weird intense calm. 2. Emma Mae-Boys In Bands : There is something about this song that makes you feel you are listening to bbc Radio 1 or Capital fm suddenly. The topic of falling in love with boys in bands or the bad guys seems so proper for a pop song. The first minute of the song is soft and thoughtful, like you were thinking out loud because you know you shouldn't date those guys. Later the song gets more rock. There's something punk on Emma's voice that gets gets along with the electric guitars and drums so well.
