The legend Whitney Houston had just filmed a movie right before her untimely passing, and the single from the soundtrack has been leaked. This is the last song she ever recorded, and its definitely bitter sweet. She sounds great here, and it just shows how much potential she still had. The up-beat, feel good song is just perfect for the 2 of them to duet on, while its mostly Sparks on the track, its definitely nice to hear some of what Whitney still had.
R.I.P
This song is so epic, and I’m so glad to see its video is just as epic. I haven’t heard much of the Alpines, but after hearing this song and seeing this video they are definitely ones to look out for.
Repeat.
The R&B singer Jhene Aiko is coming back stronger and stronger each time. This new release is a smooth R&B track that just flows perfectly, while her vocals might not be the best, she makes it work so perfectly. While it may not be her best, this definitely is a step in the right direction and I can’t wait to hear her next mixtape and single which are both to be released soon!
Super group Cocaine 80’s have returned with a soulful new track titled ‘ Queen To Be’. If you know Cocaine 80’s you will love this track, and if you don’t you will be a fan after listening to it. The track basically screams soul and smooth vibes, and it is absolutely amazing. It definitely has a Weeknd vibe or Frank Ocean sounding vocals to it. It is just good all over.

A little slow on this post, but I just never gave it the time to listen to it. Now that I have, I have to say Chris Brown & Benassi is a pretty awesome combination. With this track off his upcoming album Fortune, he rides the Benassi dance beat once again. I absolutely loved ‘Beautiful People’ and while this is definitely not as good, it does have a certain quality that I can’t get away from.
Chris shows off his auto-tune skills, which is the only bad part about it, but the beat makes up for that. Just another fun club/dance song to throw in to the mix.Fortuneis shaping up to be a pretty random album, and while the tracks have mostly been a miss, some of them have grown (“Turn Up The Music”), and I’m sure this one will be a pretty big hit too.

Rico Love’s newest protegee, Rabbit releases her first single off her EP titled ‘#SOFUCKINFINE’, yes with the hashtag and all. Now I know this song has no lyrical depth or anything to offer musically, but for some reason its so nasty and dirty that I kind of like it. Rabbit is apparently a former stripper of some sort, which explains quite a bit, but I can’t help but like this track. Maybe I’m just in need of some good rap music aside from Azealia Banks, but I’m not sure.

Alright, I have to admit that I absolutely hated the catastrophe that was ‘T.H.E’ and poor Mick Jagger ruined whatever credibility he had by featuring on that song. Also, I’m not the biggest solo Will.I.Am fan, I do love when he comes together with the Black Eyed Peas, but as a solo artist, I think he hits rock bottom.
That being said, probably the only reason I love this song is the beat produced by Steve Angello, and the vocal features of Eva Simons. I don’t care for the Will.I.Am verse, and I probably never will, but the song is at least listenable, with a pretty sick beat behind it
I have been waiting for this track to drop since they released the teaser a couple of months back. Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, 2 amazing producers, definitely deliver on this track. The track fuses electronic and hip hop with some sick beats in between. This is a huge track and I can’t rave about it enough. Just listen below!
EP drops July 24th

Azealia Banks comes hard with this HudMo produced track, Jumanji. Azealia banks is definitely one of my favorite female rappers out right now, and this beat is doing things I can’t even explain. She has a very house flavored rap towards her with the likes of ‘212’ and now this amazing track. She may be a bit cocky, but I love everything about her, and this track.
Just discovered this amazingly talented man, Aaron Michael Cox. This track ‘Walk Away’ is a little slow jam funk mixed with some smooth R&B vocals and I have to say, it is absolutely amazing! I still don’t know too much about this guy, but from what I have heard so far, I’m seriously in love. I hope this guy releases more music in the near future because I will be on the lookout!
