Not really sure who Anger Dimas is, but Steve Aoki is definitely one of my favorite DJ’s at the moment, and I don’t really care for Iggy Azalea either, but I have to say this song is pretty sick. The beat fuses Hip-Hop and Dance all into one. I actually only really like this song for the beat since I don’t care for Azalea’s verse, but anyway, take a listen and you might want to go party after hearing it!
Everyone please welcome, the British Justin Bieber, but better!
I know, I know, this is cheesy and stuff, but I actually really like this song. The Bieber comparisons are going to be made no matter what, but I truely believe that Conor is a better vocalist than The Biebs. The lyrics are of course your typical male teenager song about girls, but the beat is pretty sick. While you may not like it this song, it has already charted in the UK top 40, and I’m sure it won’t be long till he starts to get attention from over here.
The track is definitely more adult then ‘Boyfriend’, and to be honest, I’m not really sure why I like it more than ‘Boyfriend’, I just do. Maybe for the lack of ‘swag’ reference. Don’t judge his vocals on this song only, check this out, then make your judgements, and check out the other covers he has on youtube.
Anyway, This kid is going to take over the UK, and maybe the world.
Rumor has it, that he has jumped in the studio with the likes of Pharrell and Ne-Yo to work on his album. Just wait and see.
Usher is back on his R&B side with ‘Lemme See’. I’m confused on what his album will sound like since he previously released the iconic ‘Climax’ then followed it up with the dance track ‘Scream’. Now he is channeling his R&B side again with this track.
I do prefer this track over ‘Scream’ but I think the added Rick Ross feature makes it less desirable. I just don’t like Rick Ross as it is, so his verse doesn’t help the song, but I definitely think this song is a winner, I’m just waiting to see what kind of album he will drop.

The female talent behind Afrojack’s worldwide smash ‘Take Over Control’ is back on her own, with this lead single off her debut album due out this year. It’s only fitting that she goes in the Dance/Techno direction seeing as she definitely fits perfectly on a uptempo beat.
I actually really like this song, I’m not sure how much radio potential she has with it because it doesn’t really stand out from everything that’s being released at the moment, but as far as club charts go, I think it will do very well. She has some pretty intense vocals in her too, and I hope she does well, she seems to have what it takes.
Lana Del Rey’s amazing song, ‘Blue Jeans’ gets its first house infused remix. While I think the original was absolutely amazing, this actually isn’t bad at all. Azealia Banks is one of my favorites out right now, and you can tell that she just fits perfectly over a house beat, and this proves it. Nothing compares to the original, but this is a pretty good take on it!
After premiering her ‘Behind The Music’ on VH1 last night, she tries to build off the hype by releasing her solo single ‘Put It Down’ featuring Chris Brown.
I have always been a Brandy fan, because I think her vocals are definitely underrated, and she still was part of the iconic duet ‘The Boy Is Mine’. Now trying to keep it modern, she already failed with her return duet with Monica, ‘It All Belongs To Me’ now she tries to make it solo. This song is just alright, there is nothing iconic about it, like there should be from the long wait. It will get eaten up by radio plays, and definitely the general public will like it, and the added Chris Brown feature doesn’t hurt gain some fans either. As far as the track as a whole goes, it just doesn’t do anything astounding for me. It’s good, not good enough.
The artwork is so bad, I’m not sure what she was trying to do with that either.

After releasing probably one the best songs of 2012, ‘Climax’, Usher tries to continue his streak with ‘Scream.
Guess What? Usher sold out to the business! This has top 40 written all over it, the beat, the nonsense lyrics, everything about it screams top 40, maybe that’s why its called Scream. I’m highly disappointed after hearing Climax which was definitely a career defining song for him. I guess he has to make money somehow?
I mean the song is catchy and good and all that as far as dance tracks and the radio are concerned, but I’m sure the music world is just as disappointed as I am right now.
Anyway take a listen below!
Country superstar is back to take over the charts once again, this time with a more ballad feeling song titled ‘Blown Away’. This song is definitely just as good as ‘Good Girl’ and I have heard clips of the album, and it is definitely sounding pretty solid. Carrie Underwood never ceases to amaze me with her vocal and performance ability, and she just gets better and better every time.
‘Blown Away’ has a more coutry/rock feel to it, while it still shows off Carrie’s amazing vocals. It is definitely a catchy song, and surely will do well on the charts just like her first single ‘Good Girl’ did. There is definitely no stopping the Carrie reign!
Her album ‘Blown Away’ is due out May 1st!
Recently discovered Alunageorge off Pinboard, and as soon as I heard this song I fell in love. Definitely a summer vibing song, with a pretty fantastic beat behind it. It’s just a feel good song, with some feel good vocals. Take a listen below!
Cee-Lo Green hooks back up with his old band Goodie for this powerful song ‘Fight To Win’. This song has a very inspirational vibe to it, and backed by Cee-Lo’s big vocals, it all works together so well. I never really knew too much about Goodie Mob, but I have to say they really flow with Cee-Lo, and this definitely sounds like a winning combination.
Listen to the song below!
