8 on Billboard’s Hot 100, a nd more and more commercials are now getting the dubstep treatment. (thanks to DJ/producer Bassnectar’s dubstep remix of her hit), Alex Clare’s dubstep-influenced “Too Close” hit No. For example, the dubstep fanbase loved pop artist Ellie Goulding way before “Lights” ever hit the radio in the U.S. As dubstep began to influence some pop artists’ work, the genre enjoyed a rising mainstream popularity. in the last few years when producers began to fuse elements of dubstep with heavy metal to create the style Brostep, for which Grammy-winning artist Skrillex is known. in the late ‘90s, dubstep rose to popularity in the U.S. Dubstep is a type of electronic dance music that is known for its heavier sound and reliance on bass and drums, sometimes incorporating vocals. Fresh on the heels of the Max Martin-produced pop hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” the new release includes dubstep elements in the chorus.įor those of you unfamiliar with the genre, here’s a brief history of dubstep (you’re welcome). ![]() “I Knew You Were Trouble,” another song from Swift’s upcoming album, Red, debuted last night and it sounds nothing like what you’d expect. The app in its current state deserves one star, but I gave it two just because Genius is so wonderful.when it actually works.What happens when you mix Taylor Swift and the musical genre dubstep? That may sound like the beginning of a joke, but thanks to Tuesday’s release of Swift’s latest single, it’s actually a legitimate question. Started the app back up, frozen at the home screen, and this time summoning SIRI was no help.įor the past two weeks I’ve wanted to see if there are any good annotations for Deerhunter songs. The app hung with me as I perused four annotations on one song, but when I tried to follow a link to a different song in the fourth annotation, *CRASH*. ![]() Today was the first day in ~two weeks that I’ve even been able to get to the search bar, and only then by popping in Siri and then exiting. Problem is, over the last 2 or 3 updates, it’s become a chore to interact with, frequently freezing on the very first screen. I looooooove Genius, a treasure trove of hidden insights into songs you already love and thought you knew, as well as a portal for discovering new music you haven’t had a chance to love yet. Plus it’s a handy guide to the types of issues that in my case at least could be addressed with reinstallation. Great when it works, which isn’t now (ok now it is)Īfter the latest update did nothing to fix Genius’s many issues, i deleted and reinstalled the app, and it’s been working quite well since, so I bumped the rating back up, but I’m going to leave my original review in case said problems come back. Overall the profile tab seems worthless now, but could be better in the future. If you sign into google it takes your google account picture and makes it your profile picture without giving you a way to change it later. They make it out like you can personalize your profile based on your style of music, which seems cool, but is not really the case. When you download the app you can sign into a profile like any other app now but in Genius your profile is almost meaningless. It’s a bummer because i can’t find a way to get around it.ģ. It makes for a cool background but every time i want to make one right before i save it to my camera roll the app decides to crash. There is a feature in the app where in a song you can take a picture given to you from the artist or your own picture and take lyrics from a particular song and put it over the picture. When you watch the videos in the app and you try to flip your device sideways the video will stay in the upright position (even with lock rotation on allowing you to freely move your portrait), which is annoying since the picture is already as small as it is.Ģ. But a few things that are really irritating and annoying are:ġ. ![]() I love the interface and the way you navigate throughout the app. Pretty good overall but has some glitches
