Song of the Week- Still Into You by Paramore, from the album Paramore

My song of the week is my personal song of year, which comes from the awesome American band Paramore. From the moment I heard Still Into You I loved the song, and it is a track that I have been constantly listening to throughout 2013. The song is irresistibly catchy, full of really strong pop hooks and having a catchy chorus that doesn’t feel clichéd like other pop songs, even though it just might be. Hayley Williams is not only a stellar front woman for the band, but she is just brilliant on this track, giving us a vocal performance invested with sincerity and love and captivating you all the more. Furthermore, the best thing about this song for me is the fact that the sound definitely shows an evolution of the group. Known for their heavy guitar riffs, here we are treated to a up tempo number that is decked out with bubbly synths, preppy drum beats and even the presence of a glockenspiel, for a sound that is just extremely fun and uplifting and shows that the band can definitely continue to grow and be exciting with their music. Still Into You is the best pop offering of the year and the most rich but accessible love song I have heard, and it just shines as a song that makes Paramore more than your average pop rock band.
