Emily Osment - Hush

I was going to post about Wynter Gordon's new single "Till Death" but Blogger was down for some reason and it deleted my saved post, so I don't feel like rewriting it. The most of it was that it was a good dance song and would have done good if it had been sung by Ke$ha or Britney, but will go unnoticed with Wynter.

Anyways onto today's main event, "Hush." Emily Osment may be a little overshadowed by the much more famous "Hannah Montana" star, Miley Cyrus, but she's defintely talented enough to deserve her own hits. Emily's sound isn't necessarily unique, but it is her own sound and not a rip off of someone else. The song's not another dance track which is also nice; it's bouncy and danceable, but it's more than just replay of dance beats. Emily immediately opens up with a perky sound that builds into something that is strong, yet not explosive. But then we get to the real heart and soul of the song, Josh Ramsay.

The song continues in the same style, but Josh is a thousand times stronger, more exciting, and more interesting. His pressence alone improves the already good song by that much. But Emily isn't pushed to the side completely, she and Josh trade lines through the always growing song which also adds to the song since it takes to two voices to put it all together. Using Josh is actually a really smart move since Emily hasn't had much success in the U.S. but with a familar Canadian voice she's presenting herself to Canada.

The song doesn't stop though, after the catchy duet between the two the song enters a Britney-esque electronic switchup while continuing the same vocal sound still present. The song clearly is well-written using many different techniques to keep you interested and it really works. It's too bad Emily isn't attracting too much attention, but maybe Josh's fame will allow her some success in Canada.
