Three Gorgeous Ballads You're Missing Out On
In today's music industry, it's never been easier to make masterpiece songs with no live instruments whatsoever -- and while that's not a bad thing at all, I often find myself tiring of what I've been listening to, and taking a breather with a few simplistic piano-and-vocals-only songs. However, the difference between those songs and the ballads I'm about to mention is nothing less than the fact that these ballads were made with magic. So, if you're looking for some refreshing, shimmeringly beautiful ballads, look no further.

The New Year is looking pretty good for singer Josh Pfeiffer. Less than a month after dropping his latest single, “Brand New Shoes,” the music video has managed to rack up more than a million views on YouTube alone. You gotta admit this is quite an impressive feat for a singer who has managed to stay relatively low key and out of the limelight.

This Week's Top New Tracks
The top tracks that were released this week. 'The Champion' - Carrie Underwood feat. Ludacris Carrie Underwood shredded the country in the country-pop genre she’s mostly affiliated with and just stuck with pop for her newest song, “The Champion”. The song follows a serious injury Carrie sustained late last year, which required several stitches. The Jim Jonsin-produced record is a collaboration between Carrie and NBC, which will be used to promote the 52nd Super Bowl (as the opening track) and the PyeongChang 2018 winter Olympic games. The song is simultaneously off-brand and on brand for Carrie, being a notable change from her usual country sound towards a more pop-influenced sound, yet still bears similarly to Carrie’s other confidence induced songs such as “Before He Cheats” and “Blown Away”. The song is an uptempo pop rock/power pop song that features inspirational lyrics about one's own strength and capabilities such as I am Invincible, unbreakable/Unstoppable, unshakable/ They knock me down, I get up again/ I am the champion, you’re gon’know my name. Ludacris’ rap is displayed during the bridge which features a lyrical message of strength by treating the word, champion, as an acronym.
