Elevate 5 Years (21/11/16)

  Five years ago, American boy band- Big Time Rush (BTR) released their second studio album Elevate on 21 November 2016. The album was released by Columbia Records in association with Nickelodeon. The album acts as the soundtrack to the Nickelodeon hit TV series of the same name in the second season and the telemovie, Big Time Movie. The genre of the album consists of pop rock, alternative and dance rock just to name a few. Following their success of their first album, BTR, this inspired the band to write more songs on their own. They had written a total of eight songs during the process of the album. There are 12 songs in the album. 

  In US iTunes Store, a bonus track titled Blow Your Speakers is featured while on the UK's edition is Epic. On the band's official website, Paralysed is featured. Their first single in Elevate is Music Sounds Better With U featuring rapper Mann. It was released on 1 November 2011, the world premiere of the music video was released on 12 November 2011. In support of the band's new album, TeenNick hosted a special listening party and in conjunction with the music video of their first single, Nickelodeon aired a special thirty-minute special called Big Time Rush: Music Sounds Better With U which features the band talked about their process on producing and recording their album. 

  What's with an album without a concert tour? In early fall 2011, the band announced they were going to kick off their ever tour which started on 17 February 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada and ended on 10 March 2012 at Radio City Mall in New York City. Joining the band on tour was British boy band, One Direction on 9 March 2012, which marked their first tour in the U. S. In my personal preference, my favourite songs from the album are Music Sounds Better With U, If I Ruled the World (feat. Iyaz) and Superstar just to name a few. Time of Our Life music video was released during the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2012 where the band won for  Favorite Music Group. A re-released for the album in 2012 which featured the new track Windows Down

  Five years had passed by BTR's Elevate is still elevating in our hearts and when you listen to their songs you feel like a superstar and you rule the music world. Music does sound better with BTR after all these amazing five years of the album.
