Monster Energy : Ultra Blue

Monster Energy : Ultra Blue

The “flavor profile” of this Monster Energy drink is listed as “light citrus and berry”, but it’s the latter that stands out. The taste is, as the name suggests, akin to Blueberries, which typically grow in the summer and spring. The concept, in contrast, has more to do with winter “snow trips” to “mountain towns” like Aspen and Chamonix.

audio review : Rain Your Love Down ( song ) … Stevie Wonder

This goes from being a song that’s barely good to something special near the end. That’s when the busy, albeit funky, beat is stripped down to its bare bones; muffled drums, a piano and orchestral synths; to reveal a beautiful chorus.

What was unappreciated until that point is the harmonies and melodies of Stevie Wonder’s background vocals. It’s a throwback to his 1970s heyday and, on a hymn about “God”, damn powerful. I wish the whole song sounded like that.
