NEW MUSIC: Iggy Azalea – Fancy [Ft. Charli XCX]

Most of you know Iggy by now, she has had quite an impressive run since her debut, and with the release of this new track featuring UK singer Charli XCX, she isn’t stopping anytime soon! For those that don’t know Charli XCX she has a very Icona Pop vibe, but I think I like her more. One of her more popular tracks is ‘Superlove‘ which has a very pop/dance feeling to it, very smooth. Anyway this Iggy track basically combines the sound of Charli and Iggy into one masterpiece. The chorus is all about Charli and yet has a hip hop sound to it, and the verses are all Iggy’s style.

Easily Iggy Azalea’s best track so far, looking forward to hearing more like this!

NEW VIDEO: Shakira – Can’t Remember To Forget You [Ft. Rihanna]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Lets be honest, the song isn’t anything life changing, it’s catchy, and very radio friendly and combines two of pops biggest superstars into one sexy song. When I say sexy I mean it, the video, once again, has no depth or anything, but who can complain when its just Rihanna and Shakira on the same screen, for 3 and a half minutes. Anyway, not much else to say, just watch it!

 

NEW VIDEO: Justin Bieber – Confident [Ft. Chance The Rapper ]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Hot off the heels of his DUI arrest, and now the petition to deport him back to Canada, he still manages to release his new video ‘Confident’, featuring Chance The Rapper. I have mixed feelings about the way The Biebs is going in his career, he released a couple of decent tracks a while back with his new R&B vibe, but his attitude and all other things have made him come off as an arrogant kid.

UPDATE: I love this song, and eat all my words

NEW VIDEO: Disclosure – F For You [Ft. Mary J Blige]

Posted by spatel1305 on

There are seriously no words to describe how amazing this collaboration is, Disclosure and Queen Mary shut down all aspects of music on this track! Been following Disclosure for about 3 years now, and it is absolutely amazing to see them reach this level of fame, which is easily much deserved. These 2 superstars performed together in New York, in what I can only imagine was a show that wasn’t to be missed. Anyway, enough praise for the duo, if you don’t know by now…..

Side Note: I’m absolutely jealous to anyone who is going to the sold out Disclosure set in Dallas!

NEW VIDEO: Sam Smith- Money On My Mind

Posted by spatel1305 on

Sam Smith is one of two male soul singers from the UK that I have been following for quite some time, and each of them has yet to disappoint. Sam Smith, who recently won BBC’s Sound of 2014, and I have to say, It’s about time. Sam Smith first caught my attention when Disclosure first released their smash ‘Latch’ which featured the very talented singer. Now a couple of years later, here we are, Sam Smith debuts his first solo music video and single ever, ‘Money On My Mind’. This track is everything I expected it to be, showcasing all of Sam Smiths vocal abilities, but yet keeping his kind of garage/house vibe. Sam Smith is slowly becoming a major star, and I can’t wait for him to hit it big in the USA.

NEW MUSIC: Danity Kane – Bye Baby

Danity Kane made quite the impact while under Diddy’s hands, but after a bit of drama between the group and label, they decided to split and go out on their own. ‘Bye Baby’ is not an official single, just a buzz single, but I have to praise them for this. While it is kind of a Daft Punk/Pharrell knock off sound, it is still way better than what I expected. I hope they don’t plan to stay with the funky vibe they have going, while it works for this track, as a group it wouldn’t work. They have been hyping up their release for far too long now, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we need an official single and video soon!

In other news, they have recently performed some new material at their latest House of Blues show, titled ‘All In A Days Work‘, which sounds like it could be equally amazing.

NEW MUSIC: MNEK – Ready For Your Love (Gorgan City Cover)

Posted by spatel1305 on

I have been a huge fan of MNEK for a while now, and with the release of his new Gorgan City cover, ‘Ready For Your Love’, my fascination grows even more. MNEK sounds excellent and as soulful as ever. He previously featured on the original track, but now takes the reigns and adds a very soulful and sexy twist to the track, which in my brain is better than the original, which is saying quite a bit because the original is a definitely smash. Anyway take a listen, and if this doesn’t sell you on MNEK, I’m not sure what will

NEW MUSIC: BANKS- Brain

BANKS is an upcoming singer from the UK who perfectly blends a sort of dark vibe combined with a R&B sort of vibe, which is no exception in her newest release ‘Brain’. BANKS sounds fantastic over the haunting beat, which is produced by one of my other favorites, Shlohmo. BANKS manages to add a very sexy vibe to any beat she throws her vocals on.

In other local news, she has been added the SXSW lineup for anyone who is willing to catch, what I imagine will be, an amazing set from her!

NEW VIDEO: Katy B – 5am

Posted by spatel1305 on

This is track I completely forgot to post, and now that it has hit the Top 40 in the UK, I was reminded of how huge this track really is. Katy B has always been a favorite of mine, and this track changes nothing. I respect her for doing something different from the usual mainstream and yet still making it, well at least in the UK. I wish the USA would latch on to this talent, but who knows we are very slow when it comes to oversea talent.

Most of you probably haven’t heard of these talented guys known as the Afro Deezy Axe, yet. These guys are currently a local band located near the Dallas,Texas area and after a couple of years of gigging locally, they have managed to release an EP, and I have to say it sounds fantastic! The short 5 track EP features some of their best songs and doesn’t even begin to show the aura they give out during a live show. I highly recommend if you’re ever near to check them out!

The above track is the only one I could find in full on Youtube titled ‘Stay With Me’. Definitely check out the others on the EP even if you aren’t a fan of this track, they are all fantastic!
