The-Dream is apparently trying to make his comeback to the industry with the release of this single ‘Turnt’ and soon to be album IV Play. ‘Turnt’ features two huge collaborations adding Beyonce and 2 Chainz to the mix. The-Dream has written countless songs for Beyonce which is probably how he snagged her on an album track, so he might as well release it to gain some buzz. The track is just alright, I used to love his older stuff, but since then his sound hasn’t changed too much, and this track just fades away in the mix of all other radio songs right now. It will be a hit because of the names on the songs, not because of the song itself.

NEW MUSIC: Beyonce – Grown Woman
Beyonce is back from her ‘break’, with the leak of her new track which is featured on her recent pepsi commercial, ‘Grown Woman’. I have to admit I did grow fond of the song after hearing it a couple of times, then I heard the full version and about halfway through she gets very, I guess I would call it cultural. She channels her African side, and it sounds terrible. I’m not sure what kind of sound she has for this album, but this track is pretty much all over the place. The first half is actually great, but once the 2nd part kicks in, it gets very messy and all over the place.
I have heard snippets of her other songs, but now hearing this in full, a snippet doesn’t do it justice
NEW VIDEO: Sub Focus – Endorphins [Ft. Alex Clare]
Sub Focus caught my attention with their genius collaboration with Alpines, ‘Tidal Wave‘. This new single follows the dance vibe of their previous single, and features the ever so talented Alex Clare. This song has already hit charts in the UK, and although I doubt it will hit USA charts, at least you can still enjoy it!
NEW MUSIC: Disclosure – F For You
Disclosure is back with more new music, this time with a dance floor vibe. ‘F For You’ still keeps the classic sound that they are known for but by adding a heavy, almost groovy sounding beat, this track is definitely dance floor ready. Disclosure’s new album is sounding like gold from everything I have heard so far, I am patiently awaiting to hear their legendary track with Jamie Woon, which I have no doubt will be my favorite track off their album, and possibly one of my favorite of the year. The album is dude out June 4th, and It can’t come ANY sooner!
Enjoy!
NEW MUSIC: Robin Thicke – Give It To Me [Ft.2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar]
Robin Thicke definitely caught my attention with the release of Blurred Lines, and got me extremely excited for his upcoming album. Now with the release of his most recent efforts ‘Give It To Me’, he has made a complete 180 as far as sound goes. The beat is produced by “hitmaker” Will.I.Am, and features 2 chainz and Kendrick Lamar. While the song as a whole is actually straight fire, I’m not sure how I feel about him loosing all his soul. I understand why he has done it, it has been a long time since he has had a radio hit, and money is money. I still think Evolution of Robin Thicke is/will always be one of his best albums to date, but let’s see how this album goes!
