MAINSTREAM MONDAY - Little Things




And the dreaded Monday came. Don't let this day turn you off, as you had your lovely weekend to reminisce on; having a few drinks, going out, and singing along to the songs you thought you hated. Every Monday, Mousa brings you those exact tracks. You think you hate them, but in truth, it's your guilty pleasure. The word mainstream in itself is overrated, but we all like a little familiarity, don't we?

With that, I present to you the first edition of Mainstream Mondays featuring Nicki Minaj, Fun, Dragonette, The Wanted and much more. I promise you these songs will be stuck in your head for the rest of the week. 

Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded


Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded was released on April 3. After listening to the whole album once, it was evident that this was a new Nicki that we haven't really seen before. Personally, I really like this album. It's very bold and brave of her to take such a huge step in her transition in music genre. Pink Friday consists of hip-hop, eurodance, electro hop, pop (lots of it) and a couple of R&B tracks with Chris Brown, Drake, Lil Wayne and a few more. 

Even though the melodic tune may sound the same in a few tracks, I still think that this is one of the good albums of this year. Plus, Nicki Minaj is undoubtedly one of the best in the music scene right now.
