ahhhhhh!
Been waiting for this since I heard his first single off of it ‘You Don’t Know (For Fuck’s Sake)’. This EP is something you would have never expected but it works oh so well. While it is only 4 tracks long, its FREE and its AWESOME from what I have heard so far. I definitely recommend you download and listen to right away.
GOOD MUSIC!
Up and coming artist Jessie Ware has released her new single titled ‘Running’ and it is AWESOME! She first caught my attention on UK producer Joker’s single ‘The Vision‘ which was a BIG track of last year. Then late last year she released her first debut solo single titled ‘The Strangest Feeling’ which you can hear below:
The track involves a lot of bass influenced beats with a drum accompaniment, and not to forget her smooth vocals over all this greatness. This seems to be the direction she is going for her album, and if it is, her album will be one to watch out for 2012!
Go to Red Bull Studios website to listen to ‘Running’!!
I first discovered Basic Physics when they opened for Big Sean sometime last year, and I immediately fell in love. They have remixed a lot of the top 40 tracks into basically one long EDM megamix, it’s pretty awesome, AND it’s FREE for download. Doesn’t get anybetter!
Basically if you want to wake up on this ordinary Monday, PRESS PLAY!
Cassie, “musically” famous for ‘Me & U‘, but more famously for being Diddy’s model chick on the side, has released her actually much anticipated single ‘King of Hearts’. Although her album was terrible, and she couldn’t carry a tune to save her life, she was able to build a pretty big fan base. She leaked plenty of tracks through the years hinting at her Electronic style direction and at the end of last year released her 30 second teaser for this song. I didn’t think too much of it but with all the hype going around this track I definitely thought it would be bigger than it is. I hate to say it but I do actually kind of like it, although it definitely doesn’t live up to the hype I have been hearing.
Check it out after the jump!
EARGASM!
One of my favorite producers of last year Full Crate has teamed up with Mark Pritchard to come up with this seriously amazing track titled Dangle. I first discovered Full Crate, in his similar AMAZING work with London singer/songwriter Mar. It seriously doesn’t get much better than this, so just take a listen below and enjoy a FREE download from soundcloud!

This guy is the new age of FUNK, and I LOVE it! He is definitely channeling some Prince and Stevie in this track and there is no doubt that it will definitely make your head bop. Everything about this track is great, and this guy needs to be known worldwide. I discovered him last week when I saw his cover the famous Coldplay song ‘Paradise on Yin&Yang‘s Reloaded Sessions videos’. I love the original, but I have to say Duke’s version gives the song something else. I’m going to stop raving about him, and let you listen to some good music
WATCH OUT 2012!
The duo is back! I have been a little skeptical on them having another duo again, since ‘The Boy Is Mine‘ is seriously iconic. They have been hinting at this duo for quite some time now, and it has finally come together enlisting Rico Love to produce the recreation, take a listen below:
You definitely can’t knock the vocal abilities of both of them, but as far as iconic duets going, this definitely doesn’t compare to ‘The Boy Is Mine’. After a couple of listens, this doesn’t even leave an impact on me. It’s really just a standard R&B duet, and Brandy & Monica are definitely NOT just your average! I’m highly disappointed, even more so because the hype was so big. The track is definitely just the safe way out and these 2 could have DEFINITELY done way better than that.
One of the most unique artists of 2011, James Blake, is now on his remix game and he adds D’Angelo’s “Left & Right’ to his list. I’m going to give this a couple of more replays before I make a final decision, but the original was SO GOOD, that its hard to hear a remix, especially one as unique as James Blake. Although I did LOVE James Blake’s album, I think he needs to stick to making his own tracks. My opinion could change in a couple of hours though.
Take a listen:

One of the great female talents out right now, Miss Stacy Barthe has just released another song off her Debut album ‘In The Inbetween‘ due out on Feb. 8th. She dropped a FREE EP late last year, which is still on heavy rotation to this day. For those that don’t know her, she has built her name on songwriting from superstars such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Now she is breaking out on her own and I’m loving every moment of it!
‘No Strings Attached’ has a sort of Jasmine Sullivan feel to it, mixing Reggae and R&B vibes but still adding her own feel to it. She released another tune titled ‘Keep It Like It Is’ a couple of weeks back which had the same feeling to it, so it’s looking like this is kind of sound she is going for with her album. Whatever she does, I’m sure it will be amazing. Check out the track!
Thanks to Pinboard for the track!
AHHH YES! One of my favorites from 2008 is BACK! His debut album was genius and now after a bit of a break, his new album ‘Lost In Paradise’ is set out this year with this being the first single. The video is compiled of backstage and Behind the scenes short clips, so there is nothing special about it, but the man can definitely deliver on a video, so I’m not disappointed.
He has always been one to mix a bit of funk and pop together and it just works perfectly. He sounds a bit like Prince at times which is NEVER a bad thing. He has been announced to perform at the Music Festival SXSW in Austin and I will definitely be in attendance. If you haven’t checked out his previous smash UK hit ‘Black & Gold‘, do so NOW.
2012
Long Live Music
