We Are Young

We Are Young
Fun ft. Janelle Monae

I have been meaning to post this song for a while now. I really love this track by American pop band Fun, when the chorus hits it is just perfect. There's a wonderful sense of "we're here right now so let's enjoy every moment". I also adore how Janelle's verse is intertwined with that of the lead singer; who by the way is amazing - listen to the acoustic version.

Oh my gosh, who's excited about the Brit awards? I AM! I AM! I AM!

I've never hear of this band, but I heard this song on Glee and it's extremely catchy. Plus, I love Janelle Monae.

Oh, Such a Primadonna
