The mystery is beginning to unfold. This young 17 year old has been building a fan-base that delves way beyond the little island of New Zealand and finally releases a video to seal the deal. Awkwardly cool teenage boys lounge around and mess around with only sporadic glimpses of Lorde herself. It seems as if we are still being drip-fed just how much promise this little lady has. She really has stumbled across that oh so perfect mix of definitely being pop but managing to hold onto a lot of critical credibility. Lorde, aka Ella Yelich- O'Connor, has shown that her voice isn't [...]

The Neighbbourhood made their TV debut this week performing "Sweater Weather" and "Female Robbery" on Last Call with Carson Daly at LA's El Rey Theatre. Makes me think about the N*Sync sized crowd they would bring to Times Square if TRL was around...RIP.

Jez Dior's newest "Hide" is an affecting rap song with lyrics streamlined over R&B fuzzed beats. The melody is reminiscent of 902s R&B which might be why I like it so much. Grooved with biographical lyrics and moody, vulnerable visuals that arose out of a spontaneous shoot, "Hide" is a satiable single that I've had on repeat. Download "Hide" for free HERE . Video: Jez Dior - "Hide" [...]
Where I live it usually rains. In fact the north west of England, where I grew up, is apparently more rainy than Hawaii. But then again, I never thought Hawaii was that rainy. Anyway, today it's sunny ( sort of ) and what suits the sunshine ( apart from gin, juice and Bob Marley )? Drum and Bass! But not that Pendulum bullcruddy, hell no. I'm talking about the reeeeeeeeal shit. Round of applause please, stand up, hats off - it's LTJ Bukem with his newest collection of wonders Bukem:In Session . [...]
A$AP Mob and ASF representatives A$AP Ty Beats and Dom McLennon join THEBLKHANDS to rap about how they will both inflict harm on us and hang around our girls. I love the wavy treatment and the slow-mo on what would appear to be the artists jumping on an out-of-frame trampoline. "Majestic" is off the New York Trio's debut album Serbia , which is sponsored by DJ Booth. It's got features from Big K.R.I.T., Three 6 Mafia, Lola Monroe, Skyzoo, and more. Video: THEBLKHANDS - Majestic (ft. Dom McLennon & A$AP Ty [...]
MS MR is a hugely rising and well-documented favorite artist of mine for their dark and spooky glitch pop. Their music is dark and moody and transcendent into the dark part of all of us. when I met member Lizzy Plapinger - she was the embodiment of everything MS MR's music is not - sunny, bubbly and warm. She is one of those people whose kindness is so sincere it's infectious. As Lizzy puts it, "I think people have been surprised to meet us at shows... we are sunny and the music is moody. It's easier for us [...]

Clips of Lana Del Rey looking young and beautiful meshed with nostalgic orechestra clips is everything I would've expected/hoped for in the video for "Young and Beautiful" off of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby Soundtrack. Love you, Lana.

The-Dream is an american treasure. This new track from Radio Killa is just what we need as summer starts. I will probably have more to say once I play this on repeat in the truck - but for now the uptempo beat, catchy hook and HOV feature are all pretty, pretty great. All will be right in the world May 28th when IV Play drops with features from Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Pusha T and Mary J. Blige. Stream: The-Dream - "High Art" [...]

A$AP Rocky is famous and this documentary will let you know how he got there. If you ask me, I'd only be interested if we get to see his shenanigans. Anyway, this could be an interesting doc. We'll keep an eye out for you. Video: A$AP ROCKY "SUDDENLY" DOCUMENTARY (TRAILER) |

In 2003, Chicago MC Chancellor Bennett, better known as Chance the Rapper, was 10 years old. At that point, it's unclear whether the "rapper" surname was a predetermined pseudonym for Chance or a product an the era in hip-hop to come for the 312. But, while rap was being bowled over that year by the East coast (particularly Hurricane 50 Cent), and radio was getting a steady stream of Southern cooking - including Lil Jon's relentless Crunk influence and Ludacris' completion one of the most impressive three-album runs - the only nationally recognizable legs Midwest hip-hop had to stand on [...]
Swedish trio is now 4/4 with their song releases . They are my Lykke Li when she is not here (meets Purity Ring). Their newest song is the electronically wistful "Down Under." Stina Wäppling’s vocals will soothe you better than your favorite sad grey Kanye sweatshirt. Stream: NONONO - "Down Under" |
