This is the song that has been blowin’ up my Facebook newsfeed for the past 72 hours. If one more of my girl-friends makes their status, “Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars… I could really use a wish right now,” I may consider deleting my FB account all-together. Honestly, what does that song lyric even mean? Why would any one make a wish on an airplane? Call me superstitious, but that does not sound too lucky.
New song Airplanes Part 2 appeals to all kinds of audiences featuring hip-hop artist B.o.B, rockstar Hayley Williams of Paramore and… EMINEM. Say what you want about Eminem, but one thing is true. Any collaboration track that he’s involved in is a great-listen. Take Crack a Bottle with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent for example. Alone, Em’s excessively-angry lyrics can be frightening, but adds a much-needed aggressive touch when combined with other artists.
Chill out, Marshall.
Despite the lame and overly-girly chorus, Airplanes Part 2 is a pretty cool song. Aside from Eminem, the track showcases the vocal talents of Williams, who does not get enough recognition as a female rocker. Williams has been the lead singer of Paramore since the band’s formation in 2005 when she was only 16. Since then, Paramore has released three studio records including latest album, Brand New Eyes. Think William’s voice is dynamic in Airplanes? Listen to her voice reach a whole new level in a few of my favorite Paramore songs:

Airplanes Part 2 is the second single from B.oB’s debut album, B.o.B Presents the Adventures of Bobby Ray. I am a huge fan already and love it when my phone rings so I can hear Nothin’ On You blast through my Blackberry speakers. Looking forward to some fresh new hip-hop tunes from B.o.B!
