Song name analysis 1

Music not only relies on sound, artist aesthetics and general artist style, but also the name of songs. This is regarded as an important part of the creation of a new track, as music downloads are vastly overtaking hard copies of records being bought, a solid, original song name is important if a song or album is to become a viral hit. 

The band Blossoms, a new, up and coming indie/alternative rock band. With Blossoms only just emerging onto the indie/alternative rock scene, it is important that the name of their songs attracts a large amount of their target audience.

Blossoms' songs include;
Charlemagne
At most a kiss
Polka dot bones
For Evelyn 

All of the songs feature unique names that attract the audience as it does not feature any contextual information. This then encourages the audience to listen to the song, to find out the message of the song. The songs all feature strange, unique syntax and lexical choices, of which are unlikely to be replicated, giving the band a unique feel and vibe, something of which appeals to both the target audience of my magazine and fans of the indie/alternative rock music genre.
