Danity Kane made quite the impact while under Diddy’s hands, but after a bit of drama between the group and label, they decided to split and go out on their own. ‘Bye Baby’ is not an official single, just a buzz single, but I have to praise them for this. While it is kind of a Daft Punk/Pharrell knock off sound, it is still way better than what I expected. I hope they don’t plan to stay with the funky vibe they have going, while it works for this track, as a group it wouldn’t work. They have been hyping up their release for far too long now, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we need an official single and video soon!

In other news, they have recently performed some new material at their latest House of Blues show, titled ‘All In A Days Work‘, which sounds like it could be equally amazing.

NEW MUSIC: MNEK – Ready For Your Love (Gorgan City Cover)

Posted by spatel1305 on

I have been a huge fan of MNEK for a while now, and with the release of his new Gorgan City cover, ‘Ready For Your Love’, my fascination grows even more. MNEK sounds excellent and as soulful as ever. He previously featured on the original track, but now takes the reigns and adds a very soulful and sexy twist to the track, which in my brain is better than the original, which is saying quite a bit because the original is a definitely smash. Anyway take a listen, and if this doesn’t sell you on MNEK, I’m not sure what will

NEW MUSIC: BANKS- Brain

BANKS is an upcoming singer from the UK who perfectly blends a sort of dark vibe combined with a R&B sort of vibe, which is no exception in her newest release ‘Brain’. BANKS sounds fantastic over the haunting beat, which is produced by one of my other favorites, Shlohmo. BANKS manages to add a very sexy vibe to any beat she throws her vocals on.

In other local news, she has been added the SXSW lineup for anyone who is willing to catch, what I imagine will be, an amazing set from her!

NEW VIDEO: Katy B – 5am

Posted by spatel1305 on

This is track I completely forgot to post, and now that it has hit the Top 40 in the UK, I was reminded of how huge this track really is. Katy B has always been a favorite of mine, and this track changes nothing. I respect her for doing something different from the usual mainstream and yet still making it, well at least in the UK. I wish the USA would latch on to this talent, but who knows we are very slow when it comes to oversea talent.

NEW EP: Afro Deezy Axe – The Vagabond EP

Posted by spatel1305 on

Most of you probably haven’t heard of these talented guys known as the Afro Deezy Axe, yet. These guys are currently a local band located near the Dallas,Texas area and after a couple of years of gigging locally, they have managed to release an EP, and I have to say it sounds fantastic! The short 5 track EP features some of their best songs and doesn’t even begin to show the aura they give out during a live show. I highly recommend if you’re ever near to check them out!

The above track is the only one I could find in full on Youtube titled ‘Stay With Me’. Definitely check out the others on the EP even if you aren’t a fan of this track, they are all fantastic!

Anyway, you can check out their EP via Spotify and iTunes
Keep up to date with their gigs on facebook

NEW STREAM: M.I.A – Matangi

Posted by spatel1305 on

M.I.A finally decides to grace us with an album after releasing an iconic ‘bad girls’ track forever ago. Matangi as a whole is exactly what you expect from an M.I.A album, loud noises, catchy hooks, and a lot of cultural influence. That’s not to say it’s bad, its actually quite amazing, maybe not the whole thing, but there are definitely some stand out tracks. Sadly, her ‘Collaboration’ with The Weeknd, isn’t really a collaboration but more of a sampling of one of his songs, but either way, its a pretty huge track. Take a listen above, the whole album is there in a playlist so just press play and enjoy!

NEW MUSIC: OneDirection – Story of My Life

I have actually been a fan of OneDirection since they debuted on Xfactor in the UK, and I have quietly supported them through all their same sounding singles, but now they have given me a reason to not be ashamed of my love for them. ‘Story of My Life’ has a very folk/indie sound to it, which is actually quite amazing. Channeling a bit of Mumford and Sons in way, but in a more pop-ish way, ‘Story of My Life’ is a huge step forward for the boys.

I definitely see this song coming on the radio and people falling in love with it, and then finding out it’s OneDirection. If they keep in this kind of direction, rather than the bubblegum pop they have been doing, they could be around for a very long time.

NEW MUSIC: M.I.A – Y.A.L.A

Lately M.I.A’s efforts have been either hit or miss, her previous tracks in the past couple of months, that I have no idea what they were called, have definitely been a miss. I’m not sure which album she is putting the gem that is ‘Bad Girls’ but it doesn’t compete with the others.

That being said, ‘Y.A.L.A’ is definitely a hit. It is back to old school M.I.A with the loud noises and hard hitting beat and a catchy chorus. There isn’t much else to say expect if you’re a fan of M.I.A you will love this track.

Her album is said to be released Nov. 5th with a collaboration from The Weeknd which I feel, if done right, could be amazing.

NEW MUSIC: Daley – Look Up

Daley has slowly been moving up the popularity charts, gaining his much deserved recognition in the USA with his track ‘Alone Together’, and now hot off the heels of his USA Tour announcement, it is only a matter of time until he becomes a superstar

This track isn’t the newest, but seeing as I have been supporting Daley since the beginning, I need to have a post for this Pharrell produced track titled ‘Look Up’. ‘Look Up’ followed his UK release titled ‘Broken‘.

‘Look Up’ has all the right necessities for a feel good song, and can I just say that Daley working with Pharrell is a huge step, and I’m so glad all of this happening. Like I said, it is an all around feel good track, there is nothing negative that can be said with a Daley track.  I can’t stress how much you need to purchase this song, go do it!

Look out for Daley in a city near you if you live in the USA!

NEW MUSIC: Lady GaGa – Do What U Want [Ft. R. Kelly]

I haven’t been the biggest GaGa fan in recent years, but after her much needed break from the industry and her so called comeback, I have kind of jumped on the train. Her previous efforts with ‘Applause’ and ‘Aura’ have been excellent. She has changed her sound completely and unlike her competitors, she has evolved from her previous albums.

I can’t say this song is my favorite out of her releases, but once again, she has surprised us with the collaboration. Her previous efforts were definitely better, but I can’t hate on this, it’s catchy and I’m sure I will at one point jam out to this track.
