Kanye West & Jay-Z – That’s My B*tch (Prod. By Q-Tip)

I wake up this morning to this track in my inbox and what a way to start your day. Apparently the track is a leak from the upcoming Kanye and Jay-Z album Watch The Throne. I can’t confirm it but I’m pretty sure Elly Jackson aka La Roux is singing the hook on this track. [...]

I Blame Coco – Only Love Can Break Your Heart

Coco Summer is 20 years old but sounds like a veteran singer with 5 albums under her belt. She also happens to be Stings daughter and her sound is heavily crafted by a bunch of Swedish legends responsible for some of our most beloved artists. Her lead single called Ceasar not only features Robyn but [...]

Alexander – Truth

My favorite song right now and the lyrics say everything I want to say… Truth The truth is that I never shook my shadow Every day it’s trying to trick me into doing battle Calling out “faker” only get me rattled Want to pull me back behind the fence with the cattle Building your lenses [...]

Le Miel du Mois by Steph Lund: The Lost Tape

With high expectations, rebel citizens of the millennial generation leave the tired and corporate ruled world of radio to begin a new life in music blogs… Raid the radio! Cause we’re tired of hearing the same old song. We’re gonna change the dial to something new. Bring some truth to this town.” – General Electriks [...]

Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind (Part II)

Some folks like to get away, Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I’m taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I’m in a New York state of mind.” – Billy Joel I love the holidays, of course for all the traditional reasons but also for the [...]

Florence + The Machine – Rabbit Heart/Raise It Up (Switch Remix)

How important is a producer to an artist? Well, the Michael Jackson sound we all love wouldn’t really exist without Quincy Jones. The psychedelic pop genius of Oracle Spectacular wouldn’t be nearly as adventurous without the vision and direction of producer Dave Fridmann. Would there even be Snoop Dogg without Dr. Dre? M.I.A. without Diplo? I [...]

Generationals – When We They Fight, They Fight

I don’t know where all these new school vintage bands are coming from but I’m loving everyone of them. My latest muse is the workings of Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer who along with their New Orleans based band are making a sun-drenched life-is-good sound I can’t get enough of. When they fight, they fight [...]

Brazilian Girls – Pussy

CMJ has me at 100 miles and runnin’ so I thought it would be nice to take it back to 2005 and kick it to one of my favorite reggae inspired Brazilian Girls songs. Most of you will be distracted by this songs chorus which simply repeats the words pussy and marijuana. At first listen [...]

The NOISEttes – Never Forget You

Mark Ronson look what you done started boy! This song was released back in January and is the follow-up single to their UK hit Don’t Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go). The first thing you’ll notice is the Phil Spector/Motown vibe reminiscent of Amy Winehouse and Adelle. However, you will quickly forget all preconceptions when [...]

Mark Ronson – Toxic (Feat. Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Tiggers)

I’m taking it way back today, back to a time when not even twitter existed – 2007.  It was in that ancient time when Mark Ronson released a cover album called Version.  The last track I posted from that album was Lily Allen’s amazing cover of the Kaiser Chiefs’ Oh My God, if you’re new [...]
