girls aloud - models after 10 years, the gals say goodbye to their fans. sadly, this single does not leave them on a high note... http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

chvrches - now is not the time (live) not my favorite from their live set supporting their upcoming album, but the buzz around this synth pop threesome is pretty high at the moment. can't wait to share you more! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

robin thicke feat t.i. and pharrell - blurred lines it's nice to hear that retro soul of pharrell coming back, throw in robin thicke and his cheesy sexy self, a more mature t.i. and you pretty much have a borderline guilty pleasure retro soul song to jam to. the video is hella sexist and there's even a NSFW version (see below) with the girls walking around naked (and the men looking like their pervy uncles), but somehow the silliness of it all makes it kind of alright. will some diva do a response [...]

chris brown - fine china with a full head tilt nod to michael jackson, you can't deny that this song is not only catchy but pretty darn good. though i will forever have my issues with chris brown, i won't hold back on enjoying a good song when i hear it (and the dancing in this video is hypnotic). i keep on thinking that this should have been the sound coming out from justin timberlake (and not the meh album he just released), but that's another issue for another day. wanna see more [...]

laura mvula - that's alright my fave act of 2013 returns with another single off her debut album 'sing to the moon'. from the empowering lyrics to the art direction of the video, it's simply fabulous in all forms! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

drake - started from the bottom yeah been bopping to this on the ipod ALOT lately! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

it's all about the voice. when you hear stories the second they open their mouths, it's like receiving a wonderful gift that you will forever be grateful for. cold specks, aka al spx, offers up a dark mix of blues, gospel and folk, all the while with a quiet resolve. it's definitely mesmerizing. shortlisted for a polaris prize last year, cold specks looks to break through her buzz within canada and venture to the rest of the world. i for one am looking forward to experiencing more! cold specks - holland (live @ other voices) [...]

paramore - now not only is this a solid release for their upcoming album, but the video by dancer/director daniel cloud campos is wonderfully cinematic. is this a mature turnaround for the band, sure feels like it (and i'm curious). http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

yeah yeah yeahs - sacrilege damn, not only does this video mark a very welcome return of the yeah yeah yeahs, but it also showcases the amazing creative skills of the video collective megaforce and their freaky ways. throw in lily cole as the town hussy and well, you've got something truly glorious here! brilliant! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

a$ap rocky feat skrillex and birdy nam nam - wild for the night normally i wouldn't touch boastful numbers like this one with a ten foot pole, but i've been gang banging to this crazy catchy number for a good few months now and it's FINALLY getting a urban visual thanks to the dominican republic backdrop. i can't explain, but this song is just so hot in my books right now! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

jessica sanchez and neyo - tonight american idol alum jessica sanchez offered up her debut single produced and written by ne-yo and it's surprisingly catchy. her smokey voice and star presence makes me think this girl actually has a chance in the pop arena. more to come on this gal... wanna see it performed live? check out their AI performance below: jessica sanchez and ne-yo - tonight http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

justin timberlake - mirrors dedicated to the memory of his late grandparents william and sadie, major kudos for director floria sigismondi for making the 1st half of the video filmic and touching (the 2nd half with JT, not so much). http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

vampire weekend - step there is happiness all around as the vampires offer up two tracks for their fans today! in anticipation for their new album modern vampires of the city the first of the tracks is a lazy monday soundtrack that's just perfect for our snowy east coast weather. vampire weekend - diane young the more energetic track of the two, the vampires rock out with crazy drums loops, fuzzy guitars and a penchant for mechanical vocal alterations. it's a loud fun hoot if you [...]

just having a jessie ware day with these live performances below. she's just great and i can't wait to see her in concert next month! jessie ware - what you won't do for love (bobby caldwell cover) yeah, her voice is buttah!! jessie ware - wildest moments (black cab sessions) http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

iggy azalea - work after spending much of last year buzzing in the underground with mixtapes and guest appearances, aussie via miami rapper iggy azealea is finally ready for her official close up with her 1st major label single; and it's a scorcher! inspired by the classic movie pricilla queen of the desert this is looking like a wonderful 2013 for our MC! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

armin van buuren feat travis guthrie - this is what it feel like this is a perfect case of great song, douche video. seriously the level of douchery shown here is both unappealing and almost ruins this song which i feel is one of best anthems of the season. reshoot a smarter less boasting/cruising vid and please keep armin and travis to a minimum (cause they are lame on camera)! ugh! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

beyonce - bow down / i been on with a simple instagram photo (seen above) and a link, mrs carter offered up a demo track produced by hot producer hit boy who was behind bey's hubby jay-z smash 'ni**as in paris' with kanye west. though this kind of goes in a non-sequitur direction by the end, it does show us that she is not going all matronly with her upcoming sound! i am curious! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

• Beyoncé - Bow Down / I Been On

mumford and sons - whispers in the dark i have to admit that i'm kind of over this album for it's sameness, so really this is just for the fans (which i used to be a hardcore one... these days, mildly curious which leads to meh-ness). http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

pitbull feat christina aguilera - feel this moment considering i last heard this driving around in miami (and secretly loved the usage of the cheesy a-ha hook), this is easily the best guilty pleasure you'll hear all weekend. just make sure your cool friends don't catch you bopping around to this in public... now just feel the cheese yo! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

mutya keisha siobhan - lay down in swimming pools how hot is this! taking the kendrick lamar track 'swimming pools (drank)' and then putting their tight vocals on top of it, the original sugababes are really building anticipation for their eventual official release. perhaps this will show up on a mixtape, but hurry up and put out stuff already! want to hear the original smash? check it out below: kendrick lamar - swimming pools (drank) the song is HOT!
