A little slow to post this one, but since the release of this song it has been on repeat. BANKS has definitely made a name for herself, and this new single ‘Drowning’ is fantastic! The video is very sexy, and dark at the same time. Still patiently awaiting her debut album Goddess which is due out September 9th!
NEW MUSIC: MNEK- The Mixtape Noun
MNEK is preparing the official release of his debut single of the year, ‘Every Little Word‘, so that we can all own this piece of history. MNEK does what he does best, and graces us with a throwback mix of some 90’s jams, giving it a MNEK twist. Just like everything he does, its quite amazing. I keep telling you to watch out for this guy, and come June 9th, I predict a number 1 hit in the UK for this guy.
NEW MUSIC: Pharrell – Frontin’ [Ft. Jay-Z] (Disclosure Remix)
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!
NEW MUSIC: Alex & Sierra – Scarecrow
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!
NEW VIDEO: Sam Smith – Leave Your Lover
There are no words for how good this video is, and I give mad respect to him for putting it out there like that. I can’t say much else about the video, just watch it.
I do however recommend you purchase his album, because it is fantastic.
NEW VIDEO: BOOTS – EST
YES.
I can’t stress how talented BOOTS is, aside from the hand he had on Beyonce’s self titled album, if you haven’t heard his mixtape WinterSpringSummerFall, then you just won’t understand. This video has been produced by BOOTS himself, and while it doesn’t really have a story to follow (at least that I can find, I’m not very artsy though), it did keep my attention the whole way through. With that being said, the song itself is a haunting pleasure, and like I said before, there is no words for how talented he is.
Just listen and thank me later!
NEW VIDEO: Jason Derulo – Wiggle [Ft. Snoop Dogg]
I’m not going to say anything because I’m ashamed that this song is kind of jammin.
that.is.all
NEW MUSIC: Jess Glynne – Right Here
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!
NEW MUSIC: Ella Eyre – If I Go
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!
NEW VIDEO: Ben Khan – Youth
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!
Long Live Music
