EARGASM!
One of my favorite producers of last year Full Crate has teamed up with Mark Pritchard to come up with this seriously amazing track titled Dangle. I first discovered Full Crate, in his similar AMAZING work with London singer/songwriter Mar. It seriously doesn’t get much better than this, so just take a listen below and enjoy a FREE download from soundcloud!
thanks to Pinboard for this!
This guy is the new age of FUNK, and I LOVE it! He is definitely channeling some Prince and Stevie in this track and there is no doubt that it will definitely make your head bop. Everything about this track is great, and this guy needs to be known worldwide. I discovered him last week when I saw his cover the famous Coldplay song ‘Paradise on Yin&Yang‘s Reloaded Sessions videos’. I love the original, but I have to say Duke’s version gives the song something else. I’m going to stop raving about him, and let you listen to some good music
WATCH OUT 2012!
The duo is back! I have been a little skeptical on them having another duo again, since ‘The Boy Is Mine‘ is seriously iconic. They have been hinting at this duo for quite some time now, and it has finally come together enlisting Rico Love to produce the recreation, take a listen below:
You definitely can’t knock the vocal abilities of both of them, but as far as iconic duets going, this definitely doesn’t compare to ‘The Boy Is Mine’. After a couple of listens, this doesn’t even leave an impact on me. It’s really just a standard R&B duet, and Brandy & Monica are definitely NOT just your average! I’m highly disappointed, even more so because the hype was so big. The track is definitely just the safe way out and these 2 could have DEFINITELY done way better than that.
One of the great female talents out right now, Miss Stacy Barthe has just released another song off her Debut album ‘In The Inbetween‘ due out on Feb. 8th. She dropped a FREE EP late last year, which is still on heavy rotation to this day. For those that don’t know her, she has built her name on songwriting from superstars such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Now she is breaking out on her own and I’m loving every moment of it!
‘No Strings Attached’ has a sort of Jasmine Sullivan feel to it, mixing Reggae and R&B vibes but still adding her own feel to it. She released another tune titled ‘Keep It Like It Is’ a couple of weeks back which had the same feeling to it, so it’s looking like this is kind of sound she is going for with her album. Whatever she does, I’m sure it will be amazing. Check out the track!
Thanks to Pinboard for the track!
AHHH YES! One of my favorites from 2008 is BACK! His debut album was genius and now after a bit of a break, his new album ‘Lost In Paradise’ is set out this year with this being the first single. The video is compiled of backstage and Behind the scenes short clips, so there is nothing special about it, but the man can definitely deliver on a video, so I’m not disappointed.
He has always been one to mix a bit of funk and pop together and it just works perfectly. He sounds a bit like Prince at times which is NEVER a bad thing. He has been announced to perform at the Music Festival SXSW in Austin and I will definitely be in attendance. If you haven’t checked out his previous smash UK hit ‘Black & Gold‘, do so NOW.
2012
Remember Nina Sky? yeah well they are coming back stronger than ever with an all new vibe, and I love every bit of it. There most recent collaboration with Creep was definitely one of my big tracks of last year, and now they are back with a smoother R&B vibe track. Day Dreaming is a mix of trance and r&b, and I’m looking forward to hearing more from them, check it!

Chris Brown seems to be switching his direction from r&b to Dance. To be fair his r&b tunes haven’t been much of a hit aside from ‘Deuces’ of course, but his dance tracks came pretty hard because I did LOVE ‘Beautiful People’ and even ‘Yeah 3x’ grew on me at one point. This new track is probably another grower, its not AMAZING but it will get stuck in your head, and cause you to listen to it multiple times. It’s definitely another top 40 hit for him,and I’m sure that is all he is looking for with it. Check it!
I’m not too familiar with this duo, but I look forward to hearing more from them. I discovered them from Pinboard and fell in love with this soulful electronic song. Anyway, there isn’t much else to say because I can’t describe how good the song is, so just take a listen for yourself below!
