Disclosure is one of my favorite artists to come out of the last couple of years, and they can do no wrong, and this track just proves that. While the original track was huge when it first came out, Disclosure adds a slight sooth dancefloor ready vibe to it, and it is fantastic! I would love to hear more remixes from these guys. I don’t know if they are in talks of a new album, since their first album is still churning out the tunes, but I have to say I’m ready for it!
2013 X-factor winners release their highly anticipated debut single titled ‘Scarecrow’. Surprisngly, the X-factor last year churned out a lot of talent, that will probably go unnoticed because they were a part of the X-Factor. Alex & Sierra were definitely one of my favorites off of the season, and while I don’t think this is their best effort, it is fun, and it fits them so well. I’m not sure how well it will do on the charts, but I’m loving it. Its a fun pop song, and fits in the trends of Bastille, One Direction, and The Neighbourhood.
Here is to them hopefully doing well, because they are very talented!
If you don’t know Jess Glynne, she has been featured on some pretty big tracks thus far including, Clean Bandit’s track ‘Rather Be‘, and more recently Route 94’s ‘My Love‘. Now she is stepping out on her own and releasing quite a catchy track titled ‘Right There’. After hearing it just one time, I was hooked and it was stuck in my head. ‘Right Here’ has everything that a summer anthem needs, and I have to say the production done by Gorgon City is spot on. Jess has some pretty amazing vocals on her, and I really hope she finds success with this track, because she is very talented!
One of my favorite new talents of last year, Ella Eyre, has graced us with a new track titled ‘If I Go’. Her vocals are just too much for me to handle, and it feels like the track is produced by her first number one collaborator, Rudimental, which I have no problem with. I can see this being a huge hit for her over seas, unfortunately I don’t see it latching on too well with the USA audience, but hopefully soon people will see how much talent she has to offer.
If you aren’t sold on that track, at least take a listen to this youtube video and marvel over her vocals!
First introduced to me by Pinboardblog, Ben Khan has been one of my favorites as of late. Following in the footsteps of Jamie Woon, James Blake and Jai Paul, Ben Khan brings his own flavor to the group of talented musicians that already run this genre. I’m not sure what to make of the video, it’s it a bit on the artsy side, all I know is that I couldn’t keep my eyes off of it! This song is absolutely incredible in so many ways, and if you haven’t checked out his EP 1992, I highly suggest you do!
The wait is finally over! Danity Kane has premiered their first official comeback single of the year, and it’s straight fire! While there is a lot of speculation going around on why Aundrea isn’t on the song, it is still very refreshing to hear a track with a legit girl group. Danity Kane has to be one of my favorite girl groups, and I’m so glad they decided to make a comeback.
‘Lemonade’ has is everything that is needed on the airwaves today, it’s modern, and while it does sample a Clipse track, I feel it is bringing something unique and different. There isn’t really an older girl group out there right now, and Danity Kane already has a reputation in being one of the best around.
Still patiently waiting ‘All In A Days Work‘.
The talented Jazmine Sullivan broke all of our hearts when she claimed to retire from the business, but good news, she is back and better than ever! Jazmine Sullivan’s powerhouse vocals return on a track featuring Meek Mill titled ‘Dumb’. She sounds better than ever on this track, and the track itself is definitely doing something different than anything on the airwaves right now. I fully believe this track is going to be a huge success for her, and I imagine that her much needed return is going to be highly anticipated!
YES.
I don’t know too much about this guy, but all I need to know is that he is an amazing artist, with a very unique set of skills. The video above shows everything that sold me on this guy, and I’m sure if you watch it all the way through you will fall in love. The song itself is a work of art, and anyone who can produce a track in front of my eyes has my attention. This guy might not have the biggest following just yet, but watch out for him because I know I will be. All I know, is that he has my full support!
I’m about to jump into the stream of his album, and probably purchase it after that, as you should too.

Taken from his upcoming posthumous album, Xscape, the Timbaland produced track ‘Chicago’ gets its leak. You know, I have to say, this album is actually not bad from what I have heard so far. I was very scared to hear this upcoming album, but after his previous release ‘Love Never Felt So Good‘, I changed my mindset. It is very refreshing to hear the raw vocals of the king again, and this track brings it all. The production is a little bit weak, and I don’t think MJ would have settled with that, but I’ll take what I can get at this point.
This might be an album worth checking out.
YES YES YES
BOOTS has slowly made his way on to my radar after some fantastic releases. After finding out he basically produced Beyonce’s newest album, I was very intrigued to see what he was able to do on his own. He released ‘Howl‘ and many other tracks that I have grown to love and keep on repeat. Now he finally graces us with his ever so smooth and haunting mixtape WinterSpringSummerFall, and even though I have just begun to listen to it, I can tell, just like everything else BOOTS has put out, this will not disappoint!
