Macklemore, a performer at this years SXSW (South by Southwest) in Austin, has definitely become a new hit in the music industry. According to Top40Charts.net, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (a producer, rapper and DJ associated with Macklemore), are at number 2 for 2013 with their song Thrift Shop. After trying to go see them at Waterloo Records during Spring Break and being disappointed after finding out it was too crowded to stay, I realized that I did enjoy this artist regardless of the fact that we couldn't see him at SXSW. Even though I like the song Thrift Shop, I do believe it's starting to become overplayed and for that reason I'm writing about a different song. Can't Hold Us feat. Ray Dalton is a fun song that attracted me with it's powerful and upbeat rhythm. The beat at the beginning of the song especially when the piano kicks in is one of my favorite moments throughout the song, besides the chorus of course. In my opinion, he's definitely made a name for himself through his music and thanks to him audiences such as myself can enjoy new and refreshing songs such as ones like Can't Hold Us.
Favorite set of lyrics in the song:
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me
If I fall, they got me
Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves
- Caroline
