NEW MUSIC: The Wanted – I Found You

Posted by spatel1305 on

British boyband ‘The Wanted’ are set to release their new album next summer, but first they give us a sneek peak at what it will sound like. Most Americans don’t know how old their ‘Glad You Came’ single is, seeing as its still smashing the charts, but the band is ready to move on. ‘I Found You’ sounds like their smash hit ‘Glad You Came’ but so much better, it definitely has a few of the same background beats as the previous single, but what sold me, was someones solo verse. I’m not sure who it is that has the solo towards the end, with the raspy voice and just pure perfection vocals, but I love it.

Anyway, the single is set to debut in the UK on November 18th, but enjoy it for now!

NEW MUSIC: Christina Aguilera – Your Body (Explicit Version)

Posted by spatel1305 on

I posted the low quality of this single recently, but I just came across what is being said is not the final version, but to me sounds very close to it. Christina Aguilera sounds amazing as ever, and I’m hoping for her to have a hit with this one. Once the ‘Final’ version comes out, I’ll give it a post too, but for those who can’t wait for all that, this version is good enough! Enjoy!

NEW MUSIC: Disclosure – Latch [Ft. Sam Smith]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Disclosure has released a new soulful single featuring the equally soulful Sam Smith titled ‘Latch’. I’m not sure who this Sam Smith is, but I will definitely look into him after hearing his vocals on this track. There is nothing bad to say about this track, it’s a disclosure track, it falls in the same perfect category. I would even go as far as saying this could be one of my favorite tracks from them yet.

Anyway take a listen below!

2012 VMA Performances

Posted by spatel1305 on

This years VMA’s consisted of a lot of OneDirection and Rihanna, but as far as performances go, Frank Ocean slayed all. Although He didn’t win anything, he definitely took the crown home for best performance of the night, while Rihanna was busy giving shade to everyone on stage. Pink has had way better performances in her time, but she can still do no wrong. To take the words from someone on my Twitter feed, Rihanna sounded like a goat swinging on a rope, but looked fantastic. OneDirection featured screaming girls on their track. Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz tried to be energetic and make rap seem cool and it failed. Alicia Keys performed her failure of a song while also having pretty horrible vocals, which is usually not like her, then brought out the failure Minaj to finish it off.

Take a look after the break!

NEW MUSIC: Big Sean, Jay-Z, Kanye West – Clique

Posted by spatel1305 on

I really haven’t been a fan of Rap music lately, and I really don’t like Kanye West, but I do have to say, all 3 of these rappers go pretty damn hard on this track. It gives the G.O.O.D music album some life, and I can actually get behind it. I look forward to seeing what else these guys have in store. I also like how Jay-Z threw in Rihanna AND Beyonce in his rap.

NEW VIDEO: Alpines – Got Me Wrong

Posted by spatel1305 on

UK talent, Alpines, are quickly becoming a force with this new release of ‘Got Me Wrong’. They first caught my attention with their release of ‘Empire’ which sounded very Florence and the Machines like, and now with this new release, I’m not sure how to pin their genre. It’s very electro-pop with a big backing beat, and I have to say its awesome! Alpines are definitely ones to watch out in the future, and I believe their debut album is due out in October!

NEW VIDEO: Ellie Goulding – Anything Could Happen

Posted by spatel1305 on

Ellie Goulding gives us some pretty stunning visuals for her new single ‘Anything Could Happen’. While the rest of America is just now getting hooked on her debut single ‘Lights’, Ellie is moving forward in the best way possible, although I’m not sure ‘Anything Could Happen’ will get much chart success here in the US just yet, but give it some time and I think everyone will grow to love her.

NEW MUSIC: Daley – Remember Me [Ft. Jessie J]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Those of you who have been following the site probably saw my entry on Daley a while back, since then he has been teasing us with countless pictures in the studio with some big name artists. Finally he releases his Debut single from his upcoming album! Accompanied by the soulful Jessie J, Daley throws his own amazing vocals down on an equally amazing beat that just makes magic. Daley is bringing back the meaning of R&B with this, and I have no doubt that his album will be amazing, now I just need a USA tour from him before he hits the big time!

Daley has been on my radar since his first couple of youtube videos, and now he has an album in the works, I have no doubt that he will be big in no time at all, especially after this single!

Take a listen below, and if you haven’t downloaded his FREE mixtape, DO IT NOW!

NEW MUSIC: Alicia Keys – Girl on Fire [Ft. Nicki Minaj]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Alicia Keys makes a return with ‘Girl on Fire’, the new single off her upcoming album. As far as this track goes, well, it’s horrible. Alicia Keys needs to be progressing in her career, and this track does the opposite of that. The worst part is she released the track with three different versions, and they all suck. It’s nice to hear her back on a track, and her vocals are spot on, but this does absolutely nothing for anyone listening. The beat is plain, the lyrics are about woman empowerment, which has been done way too many times before, and it’s about time to move on.

This particular version features Nicki Minaj, who usually slays a feature, and yet this time she also fails. I don’t see this track doing well at all, any of the versions. I have heard that her album will feature the likes of Emeli Sande, and Jamie XX, which is promising. I think both of these artists could do wonders for her progression as far as music goes. We will wait and see.

Take a listen below, and lets see what you think.

Take a listen to the ‘Blue Light Version‘ and the ‘Original Version‘, if you think its worth your time.
