Song of the Week July 29

Song of the Week- Forget Forever by Selena Gomez

Turning heartbreak into a stomping dance anthem is a typical trait of 21st century music today, and more often than not this makes for a really great tune. Forget Forever is just such a tune, as Gomez sings and reminisces about a past relationship which she just wants to forget. The track is a stomping dance pop number with hints of synth pop and has a euphoric lightness about it that makes the song a potent listen. The track would have perhaps been better with a stronger vocalist, but Gomez's tone works well with the track. The only real issue with this song is that it is similar to the work of DJ Calvin Harris, and has a strong flavour of his hit Rihanna collaboration 'We Found Love'. But imitation is the best form of flattering, and with the big stars like Katy Perry, Rihanna and Britney lacking in giving us the anthem goods, it seems like Selena Gomez is stepping up to the musical plate in her musical and personal maturity.
