anna kendrick - cups ( pitch perfect "when i'm gone") with 11 weeks in the billboard hot 100 and selling almost 500,000 downloads, public demand for anna kendrick's performance of 'cups' in the cult smash 'pitch perfect' made everyone decide to re-record the track into a proper radio friendly single. reuniting with director jason moore, anna and her diner clientele bring the cup playing to a whole new level (and probably offer up the surprise hit of the season). wanna see the scene where we all fell in love with the song?

frank ocean - wise man ( django unchained unused song) i find it hard to believe that quentin tarantino couldn't find a place to put this beauty within his almost 3 hour opus. what a shame cause frank ocean's song is GORGEOUS! put it out on your deluxe re-issue and release it as a single. that'll show him! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

jessie j - silver lining (crazy 'bout you) not really the iconic songs that diane warren is known for, but our girl jessie j tries her best to make something out of basically a 4 minute chorus loop. the sound of meh. http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

adele - skyfall adele takes a crack at the bond theme song and comes up with a highly overproduced decent number that ranks right in the middle of the best theme songs of bond history. shame cause adele has the ability to take it over the top but instead went the safe route. http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

plan b - deepest shame the 2nd single off his current #1 soundtrack 'ill manors', plan b releases this theme song about one of the characters from his upcoming gritty directorial debut. played by actress anouska mond, 'deepest shame' sees plan b sound more soulful than his previously retro vibe. the end result is something really dynamic from an equally amazing album! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

steve kazee, cristin milioti and the cast of once the musical - falling slowly (live @ the late show with david letterman ) [as you know i'm obsessed with this musical, so to see the whole cast performing on letterman is such a joy! congrats! now go and watch this musical if you're in the NYC area!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

steve kazee and cristin milioti (featuring the cast of once ) - falling slowly [sometime back in november, i went to an off broadway workshop version of once, the musical and came out not only an instant diehard fan but experiencing something quite emotionally transformative about the passion of music and something even more deep rooted, love. even though i had gone through my 'once' period back in 2007 (there was this little oscar winning film and all...), watching this show was like discovering the music for the first time. alot has to do with the [...]

bombay bicycle club - how can you swallow so much sleep [nothing like disappearing into a world of fantastical stop motion (especially when done by the talented artist anna ginsburg ). throw in the still gorgeous track by bombay bicycle club (cause most of us heard this back in 2010 as the bonus track from the twilight eclipse soundtrack) and you've got yourself the perfect collaboration!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

plan b - ill manors [the first single from his upcoming hip hop musical feature of the same name, ben drew (aka plan b) has been working on the film since 2008 and only got around to funding the feature after the success of defamation of strickland banks album/project. ill manors will be a gritty look at UK youth and will feature a song (all done by plan b) for each character. it sounds like a complex project, (which you can see the pilot short film called ' michelle ' here if you want to get a taster) but [...]

taylor swift feat the civil wars - safe and sound [we tipped this song back in december and have been swooning over the intricate harmonies and taylor's subtle vocals. with the hunger games coming out in a few weeks, it's appropriate that a video is FINALLY out. i'm psyched on all levels!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

jonsi - gathering stories ( we bought a zoo OST) [earnestness got itself a hipster soundtrack fully scored by jonsi!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

taylor swift feat the civil wars - safe & sound ( the hunger games OST) [oh this is a wonderful gift! not only does taylor showcase a non-surprise face adult track, but she's got the amazing civil wars in on the glorious harmonies. a definite treat AND a tease of what may be a kick ass soundtrack for the upcoming film!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

christina perri - a thousand years (twilight breaking dawn pt 1 soundtrack) [though i'm sure this posting (and the bruno mars one last night) will bring some twihards to the site, but the truth is christina is cranking out solid ballads and this one is no different. team bella yo!!!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

katie herzig - lost and found [if you don't know this by now, i am an AVID tv watcher and every now and then i sit up from my sofa and go in search of the tune that truly moves me. in this case, this song was featured in the most recent episode of greys anatomy and in the process i went on a rampage of music discovery on this colorado based singer songwriter katie herzig. catchy and sweet, katie offers up gentle songs with a quirky twist. check out the song that introduced me to this [...]

bruno mars - it will rain (theme from twilight : breaking dawn pt 1 ) [an interesting collaboration since previous twilight tracks skewed more towards the indie music scene, bruno's contribution is definitely in the vein of his previous work but with major overproduction. i like it...?] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

neon trees - your surrender (prom OST) [these guys sure know how to write a perfect chorus! taken from the upcoming teen flick 'prom', tyler glenn and co continue their pop domination with a twist of 80's indie.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
