NEW VIDEO: Katy B – I Wanna Be [Ft. Chris Lorenzo]

Posted by spatel1305 on

Alright, there are no words for how amazing this new Katy B album is sounding. She has given us so many bangers from the album and there is still so many more tracks to come. The Craig David assisted ballad, “Who Am I” is still on heavy rotation, but this track might take the top spot for me.

“I Wanna Be” is definitely gives a nostalgic, euphoric, almost 90’s dance floor rave feel and it is absolutely fantastic. Katy B has proven that this album may be her strongest effort yet, she has been so versatile on every track giving us a different side of her.

Unfortunately we still have wait a little longer for her album, Honey, to drop. The album is due out April 29th.

I want to start some sort of petition to bring her to the USA because I have been waiting so long, and her talent needs to spread!t

I actually have no clue who Skizzy Mars, but everyone knows I’m here for anything JoJo related. This track definitely has me intrigued to check out Skizzy, he has a very smooth and chill vibe to him that works perfectly for the summer.

“Recognize” is almost a futuristic hip-hop vibe that I’m loving at the moment, while JoJo adds the perfect chorus to tie the song together. Take a listen to the track below, I’m going to look deeper into Skizzy Mars to see what other gems I find!

Patiently waiting for JoJo to drop that album in the meantime.

NEW MUSIC: Ariana Grande – Be Alright

Ariana first premiered this track on SNL last week, and the internet fell in love. Ariana’s first attempt, “Dangerous Women” was a smash in my books. If you haven’t seen her singing acoustically in a strange bunny mask, I highly suggest you do because it will give you more confidence in her amazing vocal ability.

“Be Alright” is equally as amazing, she took it somewhere else with production. She kept her safe upbeat, radio friendly sound but that production is what takes it to another level. It is almost Jamie XX sounding at points, and definitely giving this radio pop a much needed change up.

I’m impressed with everything Ariana has done this era, and I have to say while I wasn’t a huge fan of her vocals before, she has definitely matured.

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 MUSIC: Craig David x Blonde – Nothing Like This

If you haven’t heard already, Craig David is killing the game right now. His comeback single, “When The Bassline Drops” is still charting over seas and still on heavy rotation on my playlist at least.Sadly he hasn’t had success over here just yet, but when it comes to this genre of music we are seriously slow.

“Nothing Like This” is yet another dance floor smash. The combination of Craig and Blonde is exactly what he needed as a follow up. He keeps it smoother and yet still has its heavy drop. This track is going to do wonders over seas, and I hope he finally finds some success with it in the US.

Tune in and turn it up below!

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 MUSIC: MK & Becky Hill – Piece of Me

This song first debuted in live form at Pete Tong’s rooftop party, and after I heard it, I was waiting anxiously to hear it in it’s full form. MK finally let us hear it earlier today, and it is definitely a smash. Becky Hill’s unique vocals soar over the piano based house beat. This is sure to be a dance club smash playing over seas very soon.

Take a listen to the gem below!

NEW MUSIC: Tinie Tempah – Girls Like [Ft. Zara Larsson]

YES.

One of my favorite artists is back, and seriously killing the game with this track. Tinie found success this summer with his smash Jess Glynn collaboration,”Not Letting Go“. Now he is back and ready to take over the dance floor again with his Zara Larsson assisted track, “Girls Like”.

This track is a serious smash, and gives me vibes from Tinie’s Swedish House Mafia track. The track is filled with pulsating house beats, with Zara Larsson giving us some serious vocals in this infectious chorus. This track is sure to be a smash soon, and hopefully USA catches up to this dance floor ready track!!

Take a listen below and get the gun fingers out for this one, and after the jump check out the bars that Tinie added to “Lush Life”.

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 EP: M.O – Good Friends EP

Been a big supporter of M.O for quite some time now, and they have finally given us some new music in the form of the Good Friends EP.

M.O has been slowly improving their craft and finding exactly where they fit in, and this EP is everything we needed in the industry. There are times where it sounds like a modern version of Destiny’s Child, the harmonies are just fantastic.

The EP has everything from slow jams to some serious bangers, all the while keeping a very 90’s vibe. There is a huge standout on this EP, and that comes with the title track, “Good Friends”. There is some serious production going on there, and we have to shout out to Bless Beats for that. I’m not taking anything away from the EP has a whole though, it is fantastic from beginning to end.
