YES, one of my favorite producers/artists of last year has graced us with a new tune! ‘Surely’ is right up there with all his other tracks, with a nice smooth beginning, then hitting hard with some intense bass moments, this is definitely a track of the month. If you haven’t already, check out his album that was released last year titled SBTRKT.
SO GOOD!
This song has just decided to grown on me, so I feel like I should give it a post.
Former Pussycat Doll (not nicole) Melody Thornton, is going solo releasing her first mixtape titled P.O.Y.B.L which stands for Piss On Your Black List,is out March 15!
On the first track off it titled ‘Lipstick & Guilt’ she shows off her hidden vocals over Kanye and Jay beat ‘No Church In The Wild’. I’m surprised the plastic surgery queen behind PCD didn’t put her upfront more with vocals like that. I’m actually looking forward to hearing what Melody has going on in this mixtape, she could very well slay Nicole.
Take a listen to her efforts!
After a bit of a dry spell of new music worth listening to, Stalley brings out a smash! Produced by a member of N*E*R*D, Chad Hugo, and you can definitely see why. The hard hitting drums and mix of electronic and rock beat is exactly what Stalley needed to back him up. This track is everything that makes me miss the good days of N*E*R*D and I hope they make a comeback pretty soon.
Take a listen below!
Thanks to Pinboard for the heads up once again
I know this song isn’t new or anything, but I feel like people who haven’t heard of Stooshe need to get informed. This all female trio is slowly making their mark on the industry with their controversial lyrics and unique look and I love every moment of it. They are easily one of my favorite groups of the past couple of years, their personality just shows through every song they do AND they have the vocals to back it all up. Mark my words, they will be a HUGE success!
Originally breaking out on the scene with their amazing song ‘Betty Woz Gone‘, Stooshe has released their music video for their before titled song ‘Fuck Me’ (the video has been taken down, for obvious reasons) but for radio purposes has changed it to ‘Love Me’ and featured Gym Class Heroes’ own Travie McCoy, check it out below!
now available in itunes, GO BUY IT
Absolutely can’t wait to hear more from them, and hopefully a US takeover!
Earlier this year, the club banger version of this song, remixed by Maison & Dragen, was released and definitely is still on heavy rotation. Now, the original soft rock version has finally been released, and I have to say it’s pretty good. I definitely prefer the remix, but I can definitely see this getting some chart success. His vocals are extremely versatile and he has a pretty good range, and this song definitely shows that. He doesn’t really sound like a Script knockoff anymore, at least in this song, I’ll have to listen to his album when it drops to give my final decision.
Anyway listen to the track below:
French producer has a released a quite sick track titled ‘ Yo Vogue’. The bass line is dirty, everything about this track is music at it’s finest. According to the comments this track has been online for a long time now, but I only just found it, since it has gained some buzz as it is being officially released. I don’t know much about this guy except that I definitely need to hear some more stuff from him (soundcloud).
get lost in it below:
One of my big producers of last year was Burial, having worked with one of my favorite artists of last year Jamie Woon. Now he is back with a very chilled out summer vibe track titled ‘Nova’ with another UK producer Four Tet. No word yet on where this track comes from, but either way its definitely worth a listen!
‘We Found Love’ hit-maker Calvin Harris is back with another club anthem with R&B singer Ne-Yo titled ‘Let’s Go’. Definitely not as good as ‘We Found Love’ but seeing as I am big Calvin Harris fan, I’m really liking this track. Although Ne-Yo could easily be replaced with any singer and it would probably sound a lot better, but if your looking for a mindless dance track with a nice, smooth beat, this will definitely give you your fill.
First discovered Mike Hough just stumbling around on youtube, and immediately fell in love with his vocals. I did some more research at the time and all he had was youtube covers at the time but that has changed quite a lot. This guy is definitely one to watch out for mixing the likes of pop, soul, and R&B, his tracks have definitely have been worthy of the small itunes fee. With inspirations like Adele & Beyonce you can definitely hear their sound on the tracks he creates, but still adds his own touch to it. His vocals are definitely unique and fit well over a smooth R&B track and even a massive pop track. Watch out for this guy in the coming months, and next year!
Amazing vocalist, Melanie Fiona has released what is rumored to be her next single off her upcoming album. To be fair, Melanie’s MF Life album isn’t sounding to hot, the track ‘4AM‘ is just alright and the rest of the leaks have been the same, but this track does bring a little life back to it. J. Cole is a perfect rapper for a beat like this, and Melanie’s vocals fit right next to his. Let’s hope the album doesn’t sound like a repeat of her last album.
