NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber – As Long As You Love Me [Ft. Big Sean]

Justin has been hit or miss, but this one is caught me in the middle. ‘As Long As You Love Me’ features Biebs vocals across a dubstep infused beat, and I just don’t like it. I like everything about this song separately, but not together, if that makes sense. The beat is so hot, his vocals are great, but the 2 of them together just doesn’t work. His voice is too smooth and innocent for a hard hitting tune like this. Big Sean’s verse is good, but Justin Bieber is trying to hard to be a mix of genres when his voice doesn’t live up to all of that.

But who knows, this track could definitely grow on me, like some of his others.

I will still check out this album when it drops

listen below!

NEW MUSIC: Joelle James – Fading Away [Ft. Chris Brown]

I have never heard of Joelle James, but apparently she was on American Idol and didn’t quite make it. I was skeptical on listening to this song, because of her American Idol background, but she has completely proved me wrong in all aspects. Joelle James has a sexy tone, kind of like Rihanna, but way better. She sings over a just as sexy beat, and I’m pretty much in love with her. The added, yet weird, feature of Chris Brown is also nice, It really didn’t need him, since she holds the track down on her own. I hope she blows up, because this track is so worth it!

LISTEN!

NEW MUSIC: Usher – Numb x Euphoria x Twisted [Ft. Pharrell] x Hot Thing [Ft. A$AP Rocky]

A whole batch of new Usher songs from his upcoming albumLooking 4 Myself have just leaked online, and I guess the title of the album definitely fits the tracks.The first 2 tracks ‘Numb’ & ‘Euphoria’ are huge dance tunes produced by legendary DJ’s known together as Swedish House Mafia, and the second 2 follow the R&B phase of Usher, all 4 tracks are decent, but still, I’m not sure what direction he wants to go in. Take a listen to all 4 tracks after the break!

NEW MUSIC: Ciara – Sweat [Ft. 2 Chainz]

 

Ciara is trying to get back on it after her latest flop albums with this new single ‘Sweat’. I haven’t really decided if its good or not, I don’t hate it, and I don’t love it. It’s nothing that will stand out on the radio, but I could see her giving a slay worthy performance of the song, since she is like the female Chris Brown. I have to give it a couple of run through plays before I make a final decision on it, check it out below!

NEW VIDEO: Coldplay – Princess of China [Ft. Rihanna]

Definitely a standout track on the the album, and one of my favorites finally gets visual treatment, and well it’s just alright. Both Coldplay and Rihanna have the star power to make this video amazing, but well its just alright, I like it, but it doesn’t make me want to put the track on replay like some videos do. Still a great song though.

NEW MUSIC: Calvin Harris – We’ll Be Coming Back [Ft. Example]

Super DJ of the moment, Calvin Harris drops his second single featuring UK talent Example titled ‘We’ll Be Coming Back’. Calvin has really been on top of his game lately, slaying the charts with Rihanna and Ne-yo, and now he plans to do it again with Example. This definitely won’t hit off in the USA because very few know Examples work, but it’s definitely going to be a hit in the UK.

Definitely not as hard hitting and dance based as ‘Where Have You Been’ or ‘Lets Go’, but still worth the listen, enjoy!

NEW MUSIC: Ellie Goulding – High For This (The Weeknd Cover)

Now the original Weeknd version of this song is what hooked me to them in the first place, but I have to say Ellie did an amazing job, she definitely added her own unique twist to it, and I love every bit of it. It doesn’t even compare to the original, but I absolutely love it, and I can’t wait for her to come out with new music, I love me some Ellie Goulding.

NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber – Die In Your Arms

Justin Bieber is back trying to keep the ‘Boyfriend’ momentum going with his new single ‘Die In Your Arms’. I do have to admit, this is miles better than ‘swaggie’ and with a sample of the Kings ‘We’ve Got a Good Thing Going’ he adds his own little Jackson 5 touch to it. His voice still has to grow on me a little more but the high pitched voice that he still carries fits perfectly over a old school pop beat rather than trying to be a mini version of the nonexistent legend that is Justin Timberlake.

Perfect timing for him to come back right now, seeing the charts are full of dance/pop music and he comes out with this, its definitely time for some new flavors on the chart and I wouldn’t mind this blasting through the airwaves.
