NEW VIDEO: Aaron Carter – Fool’s Gold

Here at LLM, I am all about the music and won’t make any remarks to what may or may not have been an ignorant social media rant by this man.

Anyway, the former child star has been making moves as of lately, and it seems he finally created a smash. I have heard tracks from him here and there, but I only remember him from his early days where he was almost the 90’s version of Justin Bieber. He is all grown up on his newest single, “Fool’s Gold”. With the likes of Flume and AlunaGeorge gaining so much popularity, this track is right down that lane. The visuals make this song so much better, he brings a more artsy side to a sexy song and I have to respect that.

This track, at times, reminds me of “Pillowtalk”, which isn’t a bad thing at all. The production might be a step ahead of it, and without a label behind him, I have a lot of respect for this song as a whole.

Aaron Carter’s fifth album, LOVE, is due out sometime this year. With this being the leading single, I am giving this man my support.

NEW VIDEO: Leo Kalyan – Daydream

Leo Kalyan has been on my radar for quite some time, but I just never found the right time to introduce you to this rising talent. With the release of his newest visual for “Daydream”, there really isn’t a better way to start.

Leo Kalyan hails from the UK and gives us a perfect blend of smooth sexy R&B mixed with a little pop flavor which makes for some seriously good music. This track was released back in March, but after seeing the accompanying visuals, I couldn’t let this go unnoticed. Leo gave Complex a quote about this song which sums it up perfectly, “It’s a song about your imagination being the only place where you are free”.

Get educated now, this guy is going to be big!

NEW VIDEO: Gorgon City – Impaired Vision [Ft. Tink & Mikky Ekko]

Gorgon City is coming back so strong with this track. To start off, it features the amazing talents that are Tink and Mikky Ekko, paired with an extremely heavy beat produced by Gorgon City. Tink’s flow is just flows so perfectly paired with Mikky’s, almost, haunting chorus, this track is just so fantastic.

NEW VIDEO: Dua Lipa – Hotter Than Hell

One of our Artists to watch just dropped a track that is, like the title, “Hotter Than Hell”. Every time Dua drops a track, I am more and more impressed that the pop world is in trouble with this talent. Her vocals, her beats, and her look make for the perfect combination for one of the most talented artists to catch their stride this year.

I really can’t wait to hear what else she has to offer for us this year, because whatever that may be, it is going to be huge!

NEW MUSIC: Justin Timberlake – Can’t Stop The Feeling

rFGXEd

With any Justin Timberlake song, I have to take some time to let it all calm down within me before I can make a non biased post. This man is just king.

Before I start, I am not sure if this track is for the movie only, or if it is a single off his next album which is due out later this year. JT has worked with Pharrell on this track, and you can easily see that as it sounds like “Happy” 2.0. That isn’t the worst thing in the world, because “Happy” did grow on me quite a bit, and ended up smashing the charts.

I was hoping for him to come a little harder with the track, but I can’t complain because I didn’t have to wait 6 years for new music. All of that being said, this track is absolutely perfect for the beginning of summer and it will definitely smash the charts, because it is easily a hit for the airwaves.

This is just the beginning of the Justin Timberlake era, and I’m so ready for all of it. Take a listen below!

This video makes me so happy.

NEW VIDEO: Azealia Banks – The Big Big Beat

I have a weird love/hate relationship with Azealia Banks. To this day, “212” remains my jam, but on the flip side, her mouth will be the death of her career. That being said, something always brings me back to her music.

She keeps it interesting, even though I don’t agree with 95% of the things she says. Her flow is untouchable, partly because she is rapping over a different style of production. It is not your average “rap” music, it can cross genres. All of that being said, I only listened to select songs from her most recent mixtape Slay-Z, but I might have to go back and take a listen because I am really feeling this track.

Anyway, take a look at the video above, and let me know what you think!

NEW MUSIC: AlunaGeorge – I Remember

Cf8l77SUUAALdJJ

I’m so happy to hear AlunaGeorge going back to their roots with this new track, “I Remember”. After hitting MAJOR success with their DJ Snake remix of “I Know You Like It”, the duo has decided to give us more of what I love from them from their Body Music days. They have returned to their more indie sound and collaborating with another huge talent that has been slowly gaining success with his hit, “Never Be Like You”, Flume. You can easily hear the Flume influenced production behind the smooth and sexy AlunaGeorge vocals.

I’m loving this, and this is where AlunaGeorge needs to stay. Can’t wait to hear new music form this era!

NEW VIDEO: BeBe Rexha – No Broken Hearts [Ft. Nicki Minaj]

BeBe Rexha is the new “It” girl after taking huge success with her G-Eazy collaboration “Me Myself and I”. Now she is taking a turn a stepping out from behind the scenes and breaking out on her own. She has written some monster hits for some huge superstars including Eminem, Rihanna, Tinashe and David Guetta. I always have huge respect for talents that step out and decide it is their turn to take the spotlight.

“No Broken Hearts” isn’t anything amazing, but it is the perfect debut single for her. I mentioned in another post about the female empowerment run on the airwaves that we have, and this fits perfectly in line with it. It’s fun, it is a little ratchet thanks to Nicki and it’s catchy.

Don’t see it doing too well on the charts, but like I said, she is just getting started.

 

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

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

NEW VIDEO: Leroy Sanchez & Jessica Sanchez – The Feeling (Justin Bieber Cover)

My favorite cover king, Leroy Sanchez, is back and stronger than ever, this time with the very talented Jessica Sanchez (Idol season 11 runner up). This time Leroy and Jessica give us their spin on one of my favorite cuts from Justin Bieber’s album, Purpose, “The Feeling”.

We featured Leroy on our Artist Spotlight feature for March, and this cover definitely backs up our reason behind it. Leroy and Jessica’s vocals flow so effortlessly together, and while this isn’t the first duet they have done, this is my favorite.

Anyway, enough of my rant about their talent. Check out the video, and our Artist Spotlight series for more information!
