Here we go.

We FINALLY have new music from Kesha, and I seriously couldn’t be more pumped. If you haven’t heard all the drama that has been going on with her since her last album in 2012, well there isn’t really anything I can do about that. Just know that she has been in a serious record label struggle that involves madman, Dr. Luke, and with her coming out with a new track gives us so much hope for her.

That being said, let’s get down to the important part, the music. Kesha sounds so raw, so filled with emotion as she soars over a Zedd produced beat. “I’ll show you my, my true colors”, might be one of the most powerful lyrics that can ever come out of her. This song is hopefully the beginning of a new Kesha, a new era of music for her. She has been through it all and I, for one, am just happy that she is able to release new music, thanks to Zedd.

I will stop ranting on, and just let you absorb in greatness below!

Kesha stated as she posted a teaser yesterday, “This is more than a song, it is a declaration of my truth”.

NEW VIDEO: Azealia Banks – The Big Big Beat

Posted by spatel1305 on

I have a weird love/hate relationship with Azealia Banks. To this day, “212” remains my jam, but on the flip side, her mouth will be the death of her career. That being said, something always brings me back to her music.

She keeps it interesting, even though I don’t agree with 95% of the things she says. Her flow is untouchable, partly because she is rapping over a different style of production. It is not your average “rap” music, it can cross genres. All of that being said, I only listened to select songs from her most recent mixtape Slay-Z, but I might have to go back and take a listen because I am really feeling this track.

Anyway, take a look at the video above, and let me know what you think!

NEW MUSIC: AlunaGeorge – I Remember

I’m so happy to hear AlunaGeorge going back to their roots with this new track, “I Remember”. After hitting MAJOR success with their DJ Snake remix of “I Know You Like It”, the duo has decided to give us more of what I love from them from their Body Music days. They have returned to their more indie sound and collaborating with another huge talent that has been slowly gaining success with his hit, “Never Be Like You”, Flume. You can easily hear the Flume influenced production behind the smooth and sexy AlunaGeorge vocals.

I’m loving this, and this is where AlunaGeorge needs to stay. Can’t wait to hear new music form this era!

NEW VIDEO: BeBe Rexha – No Broken Hearts [Ft. Nicki Minaj]

Posted by spatel1305 on

BeBe Rexha is the new “It” girl after taking huge success with her G-Eazy collaboration “Me Myself and I”. Now she is taking a turn a stepping out from behind the scenes and breaking out on her own. She has written some monster hits for some huge superstars including Eminem, Rihanna, Tinashe and David Guetta. I always have huge respect for talents that step out and decide it is their turn to take the spotlight.

“No Broken Hearts” isn’t anything amazing, but it is the perfect debut single for her. I mentioned in another post about the female empowerment run on the airwaves that we have, and this fits perfectly in line with it. It’s fun, it is a little ratchet thanks to Nicki and it’s catchy.

Don’t see it doing too well on the charts, but like I said, she is just getting started.

 

NEW VIDEO: Iggy Azalea – Team

Posted by spatel1305 on

I’m just now hearing this new Iggy track, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. When I first listened to it, I thought it was a jam. I have listened to it a couple of times since then and I just don’t see the star quality in her.

She had huge success with “Black Widow” and to me, that was about it. This song is missing a feature and lacking a catchy chorus. To be honest, that is all Iggy’s major hits were good for. She also took the Justin Bieber route in making a dance video for this track, which we all know the Biebs can’t be taken down at this moment.

I don’t see this track doing well, and I’m calling another failure by Iggy. Bye.

NEW VIDEO: Years & Years – Desire [Ft. Tove Lo] (Remix)

One of my favorite bands to come out of the past 5 years, has definitely been the trio Years & Years. With the song growing in popularity, it is only right that they bring in indie ‘it’ girl, Tove Lo, for the remix of ‘Desire’.

I really hope that his remix gives the push this gem needs to break the USA because they are such a talented band. The song didn’t need any help to begin with, it is a certified smash, but the addition of Tove Lo will give it some more credibility for sure.

If you remember correctly the music video was released in 2014, and they have just given it more life by adding a whole new spin. It follows the song lyrics more closely, almost portraying a giant orgy in a way. I feel like front man Olly Alexander had something to do with the concept of the new video. I love the song either way, and I seriously hope this band does well over here!

Now, I will just wait patiently for new Years & Years music.

NEW VIDEO: Katy B x Craig David x Major Lazer – Who Am I

Posted by spatel1305 on

One of my favorite songs of the moment has just gotten visual treatment, and it’s fantastic! Craig David and Katy B deliver their anthem over some emotional yet simple visuals, this is a serious banger if you haven’t heard it yet. I don’t have much else to say about this track, just watch it.

Team UK stand up!

NEW VIDEO: Majid Jordan – Something About You

Posted by spatel1305 on

With the huge success of people like Drake and The Weeknd, we find a unique sound and style emerging in he music industry. The duo known as, Majid Jordan, who are under Drake’s label OVO, is now finding the right sound for them. ‘Something About You’ sounds a lot like any track The Weeknd could have put out there, but I think what separates them is the almost hip-hop sounding bass feel that The Weeknd has lost since his shoot to fame.

The duo is giving us Drake and The Weeknd back when I first heard them, not so mainstream sounding, and more experimental with their sound with an almost HudMo vibe, which I am loving. Anyway, we hope to hear more from these guys this year, and hope they keep a sound similar to this!

NEW EP: Jody Brock – Phoenix

If you don’t know the talent that is Jody Brock by now, I highly suggest you dive in right now!

I have been following his career for quite sometime now, and I am highly impressed with everything has put out. After what feels like forever, we finally get an EP that was definitely worth the wait titled ‘Phoenix’. The one word I would use to describe Jody Brock and this whole EP is “Raw”. His sound is verging on rock with a soul which is definitely a sound we don’t have anywhere right now. If I had to compare it something, it would definitely be The Black Keys, but don’t let that get stuck in your head, because Jody adds so much more to that sound. Each track has a very distinct sound but keeps a very rock vibe going for it. I can’t even begin to describe the vocals on this EP, I thought I had heard it all, vocally, from him but he continues to impress.

Although I love the EP as a whole, I have to admit ‘User’ is definitely a standout track for me, so much depth and meaning behind every word in that song. I have posted the video for the song after the jump, which I highly suggest you watch right now!

Thank you Jody Brock for creating this, and I definitely hope this gives him enough momentum to cross over and play some shows in the USA here soon!

After falling in love with his talent, go buy the EP right here —–> Phoenix EP

NEW VIDEO: Jess Glynne – Hold My Hand

Posted by spatel1305 on

Now that Jess Glynne has stepped out of the shadow of Clean Bandit, she has released some pretty strong tracks, ‘Hold My Hand’ being one of them. I can’t explain how much I love the voice on this woman, she gives a soulful vibe to her dance floor ready songs that no one is able to do. This song has gotten quite a buzz since its release, and I’m expecting quite a huge solo debut for her. I’m excited that she will be at the local music festival SXSW this year, and I am looking forward to hearing this live!
