The 2014 VMAs: The Good and The Meh (Short Recap)

This year's VMAs was not one for the books. Questionable winners, Jay Pharoh effectively annoying the general public with his impressions and a performance list that didn't reflect the current trends of popular music. All that aside there were some good moments and some really meh moments. The meh outweighed the good so I kept the meh as short as possible.

Sam Smith "Money On My Mind" Music Video & "Make It To Me"

Sam Smith is starting of 2014 right! He's already won the BRITs Critics Choice Award and topped BBCs Sound of 2014 poll and now the crooner's video for his single is here.

Sam Smith "Money On My Mind"

Sam Smith, fresh off his Sound of 2014 longlist nomination, will release his debut album sometime next year, one of the most anticipated and for good reason. His collaborations with Disclosure and Naughty Boy have showcased that this guy is beyond talented, so seeing what he can do on his own with a full length is pretty exciting, His debut single, "Money on My Mind" will drop in February, but Smith himself tweeted it the audio for it. While it sounds very nice, it doesn't sound like a debut single should sound. It's more like the one of the album tracks that everyone loves and begs for it as a single release. Whoever produced it took the less is more approach. Smith sings how he doesn't sing for the coins, but for the love and admiration of fans. Lovely indeed.
