There's a new song ringing in my head. Prior to my Auckland trip, it was the infectious 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga, but after my return, I can't stop listening to Beyonce's Halo.
It's not that I've not heard this song before stepping into NZ, but something did cause me to listen to it in greater detail, and the more I listened to it, the more I loved it! All BC fans should listen to it too!
Out of curiousity, I went to google and wiki the song, and found some interesting snippets. The song was actually written by Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic). That's the band who gave us BC38's cooldown - Say(All I Need) and he also penned two blockbusters - Apologize (One Republic) and Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis).
Even more interesting was the fact that Halo was written with the intention of letting Leona Lewis sing it, but due to her busy schedule, she had no time to record it. So our dear songwriter here decided to give it to Beyonce instead because he didn't want the song hanging around. Who knows, it may not even be recorded and dumped. What a waste that would have been.
Similar to another famous song, Umbrella (by Rihanna) which was supposed to have been written for Britney Spears, the 'second choice' did a fantastic job on it.
I got a feeling that this track will be a regular feature for me.
