Kat Graham keeps releasing amazing music


The Vampire Diaries' beauty has been so underrated for so long. Her songs are much better than what tops most charts, but still her singing career hasn't taken off. Will that change with the new single?

Stop everything, MKS' first single is here


After what seems to be a very long time of teasing, Mutya Keisha Siobhan (a.k.a. the original Sugababes) have released their first single since coming back together and the song is awesome.

Jay Z and Beyonce join forces again


More than ten years after the famous Bonnie & Clyde track, Jay Z and Beyonce have made a follow-up song. And it's pretty good.

Ellie Goulding is on fire


After Lights and Anything Could Happen, Ellie Goulding's new smash hit is here.

Annie returns with a classic pop song


The Norwegian singer-songwriter Annie has been pretty quiet for the past few years. But that all changes with the release of  new EP and a new single.

Tinie Tempah's Trampoline is made for jumping

M.I.A. keeps teasing us with new songs


Just a week after releasing a video for her single Bring The Noize, M.I.A. has decided to give us another taste of her upcoming album Matangi. Only 1 U is kind of a strange song with drums and some dance elements and after hearing it, only the ding-ding part stayed in my head. It reminds me of some of M.I.A.'s previous material, but with a new spin. I absolutely prefer Bring The Noize to this, but still this song appeals to me in some weird way. Maybe it will take me a few more spins to release why. In the mean time, enjoy in the song below.

Krewella's Live For The Night is a banger


The dubstep trio, Krewella, do it again. After having lots of success in U.S. with their single Alive, the guys prepared an equally amazing follow-up single. Live For The Night has the right amount of dance and dubstep elements to make this song something you must hear. It's a club banger, a summer party song, it's perfect. Just listening to the track, my energy goes up by 100% and I just want to jump all night long. I see a bright future for Krewella if they keep releasing material like this.

Azealia's new single features Pharrell and it's damn good


Even though Yung Rapunxel got good reviews and was well received by fans of Ms. Banks, the single didn't really have any chart success. Now I really think that could change with the second single ATM Jam. The hypnotic beat, Pharrell's addition to the song, and Azealia's flawless rapping are what makes this song stand out. It's the kind of song that sticks in your head after you first hear it. I am not sure if the version of the song I found is the full version, but it definitely gives you enough to be happy about. And now, get lost in the ATM jam!

Clinton Sparks has another cool collaboration


Clinton Sparks is a famous DJ, producer and in his spare time a singer. He has worked with Lady Gaga, Akon and Pitbull, and a few days ago, he released another one of his own songs. Gold Rush comes from Clinton's album Disco Ball & Chain and features Mackelmore and 2 Chainz. The song is a dance, pop and R&B number that is well written and produced. I like it, but I am not sure if I like it because of Clinton, or because of the other guys who are in the song. To me Clinton is some sort of Pitbull or Flo Rida, someone who can't release an interesting solo single without having some other artist on it. The first song I heard from him and liked was done in collaboration with JoJo and LMFAO. And now we have this. I would like to see him release a real solo single and see if it will make any hype.

Franz Ferdinand back from the dead


No, I am not talking about the historical figure, but about the Scottish rock band. After being absent for almost four years, Franz Ferdinand return with new material and a new album. Posted on their YouTube account, we can find two new songs, Love Illumination and Right Action. Both songs have dance and indie-rock elements, and both are quite enjoyable. I don't think it's as good as some of their previous material, but it is good. Right Action will be the lead single from their fourth album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (slated to be released on August 26.). I might prefer Love Illumination just a bit more, because it's more melodic and dance, but we'll see if they made the right choice with Right Action.

Robin Thicke gives us a treat


With Blurred Lines conquering the charts worldwide, Robin Thicke is a guy everybody's talking about lately. I am still not a huge fan of the song, but I can't say it's bad. I did want to hear the rest of the album before I give my judgment on this era, and after hearing the Kendrick Lamar duet, I gotta say I am starting to like Robin's new sound. Give It 2 U has been made available for the world to enjoy in through Myspace (they are still trying to make Myspace happen?) and the song is amazing. It's an electro, R&B jam that is perfect for clubs, and very radio friendly. Robin's vocals are on spot and Kendrick is a nice addition to the song. Also the lyrics are dirty enough to make it enjoyable and not too explicit. As far as I know, this is still not a single, but I definitely think it should be because the track is fire!


Amelle Berrabah is ready to go solo


While we wait for some new music from Mutya Keisha Siobhan (a.k.a. the original Sugababes) or something new from the current line-up of Sugababes, Amelle, who joined the group in 2006 decided to treat her fans with a new song. While she remains the only member of the group who has had a solo no.1 single (to be fair, she was featured on Tinchy Stryder's song, but still), Amelle thinks it's time for her to try and conquer the charts on her own. With still no words on the possible lead single, we can enjoy in a track by Adam J. and Nightcrawlers, on which Amelle is featured. Love Is All We Need is far from a spectacular single, the vocals aren't that strong, but the dubstep-y break is what made me like the song. Yes, it's little to go on, but it makes the rest of the song decent, and all in all enjoyable. The lyric video was released almost a week ago, and has only 5000 views on YouTube, but I don't think anyone even thought the song will have some chart success. I see this as some sort of promotion for Amelle, just to tell everyone she is here, and she is ready to go solo (until the Sugababes decide to make a comeback anyway). Enjoy in the song below.

Janelle Monae's new song is apocalyptic


I've known about Janelle Monae for some time now, but I never had any interest in hearing her songs. I don't know why, but she just seemed like the type of artist I wouldn't be interested in. And then my interest started showing after I accidentally heard her duet with Erykah Badu. It was a nice song, but still nothing spectacular. But after hearing her latest song (single?) I think I will definitely look out for more new music coming from this girl. Dance Apocalyptic is a song coming from Janelle's third studio album The Electric Lady. The song is a funky dance-pop tune, and it's a great one for sunny days at the beach. It's one of those songs that make you move and just shake it on the dance floor. It's pure fun and it's a song that doesn't need a remix to make it perfect for a club.

Angel Haze samples The Weeknd on new track


I have heard a couple of Angel Haze tracks before, but I never really liked any of them. I never really understood the hype that was surrounding her, and most of the news I heard of her were regarding the feuds she had with other female artists. But now, I can officially start liking her. A track titled Initiation has hit the web, and it is really good. The song samples the beat from the song of the same name performed by The Weeknd, but if I'm not mistaken the lyrics are different. Angel's voice is pretty good, the beat and drums are sick, and the rapping is solid. The song is kinda hypnotizing which is definitely not a bad thing and it's been on repeat on my iTunes all day today. I of course heard the original song, and I like Angel's version better. Now, I hope we can expect more music like this from Angel, since this is the kind of stuff that makes you stand out.

Snoop Lion becomes Snoop Dogg again for a short time


Just when we remembered Snoop Dogg is now Snoop Lion, Snoop has decided to go back to being Dogg just to release a song for the soundtrack of an animated movie Turbo. Let The Bass Go is a typical dance song with, yes you guessed it, lots of bass, and some kid-appropriate lyrics. It's not bad, but it is definitely not Snoop's best work. I would love it if he could get back to days when he made great songs like Signs or Drop It Like It's Hot. Time will tell if my prayers will be answered.

Pharrell keeps making great music


After contributing to Daft Pank's biggest hit ever, Pharrell has made a song for Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. The song is titled Happy, and there is no better way to describe how the song makes you feel while you listen to it. It is such a positive, feel-good song, it's unbelievable. The smooth drums, sound of clapping hands, and cheerful lyrics make you feel like a little kid. And since the song is for a kid movie, that makes sense. Enjoy in the latest masterpiece by Mr. Williams below.

Cher Lloyd and Ne-Yo's first collab is so good


The UK sweetheart Cher Lloyd has made a song with Ne-Yo. The title is It's All Good, and it really is. The song is made to promote Fruttare fruit bars, and while I don't see the connection between this song and the fruit bars, I am glad the song was made. Some of the lyrics of the song have been submitted by fans of these two singers, and I have to say that I love the lyrics. Some parts might be a bit cliche, but I like it. Ne-Yo's and Cher's voice go together unexpectedly good and this song is definitely a feel good anthem of the summer. I would buy Fruttare's fruit bar just to thank them for being responsible for this song!

Nelly gets an all-star crew for new single


I've never really been a big fan of Nelly. He had some OK songs, but most of them are just not my taste. But when you get Pharrell and Nicki Minaj on your single, you know everybody's gonna love it. Yup, Nelly has both of these mega-popular artists on his single Get Like Me. The song is a nice R&B jam with Pharell's relaxing vocals and Nicki's cool rapping verse. Even Nelly's part is appealing to me. The song is hot and it's for a summer party on some beach. If Nelly continues to release songs like this, I might even become a fan.

Lethal Bizzle knows how to party


With summer officially beginning in just one day, artists are linning up to release summer party anthems. And Lethal Bizzle is the latest addition to that line. He has joined forces with Ruby Goe (whoever that is) and released Party Right. The song is an amazing summer gem, but in Bizzle's style. There's rapping, Ruby's parts are pop-ish, and the dance breaks are wicked. It's a perfect mix for this summer parties. Gotta say this guy just keeps surprising me with good songs, but I see him not having much success in the UK. Will this song change that?
