Rising Icons and Grey Goose hosted a private concert Thursday evening in Brooklyn. My quick twitter skills guaranteed me a ticket into the event to see Ellie Goulding, Band of Skulls, and Jake Troth. Yes, Grey Goose hosted the event, so drinks were free all night. To my surprise, Ellie Goulding was first to perform. She played an intimate acoustic set and opened with "Guns and Horses". Ellie Goulding is usually crowd oriented and that was no different tonight. She explained how she [...]
Jake Troth is a talented singer/songwriter that you all should be aware of. His "soulful and pop infused arrangements" have already earned him comparisons to a bevvy of my favorite artists, including Amy Winehouse , Broken Bells and Coldplay . After hearing his latest single, " Material Things ," I might have to add Swedish electro-pop singer Lykke Li to the mix. Troth took the time to explain about the meaning behind " Material Things: " " Material [...]
Jake Troth is a hit machine! Recall if you will his highly addictive single "Material Things" (one of my favorite tracks from 2010), and of course his hip-hop collaboration with B. Rossi, "Gems and Rubies." Now he's back with yet another solid track, this one titled "Ross and Rachel," which gives off sort [...]
Five years ago I moved out of the San Francisco Bay Area for the snowy, crisp mountains of Colorado. I absolutely love my adopted home, our vibrant music scene, and the fresh air here, but no foolin' I do often long for my hometown hills. Over the holidays I went to San Francisco for a week to stay at the Noe Valley apartment of friends who were out of town and graciously let me "housesit." It was a part of town I had never stayed in before. When I first let myself into their empty place on [...]
Back in March we posted up a video for Jake Troth's extremely catchy new tune "Material Things." Now he's teamed up with hip-hop artist B. Rossi to write "Gems And Rubies." It's a song about the inevitable question that most dreamers face during their journey to success— "should I be doing this?" Click here to [...]
@ MynameisRossi & @ jaketroth add visuals to their record " Gems & Rubies " available on itunes.
B. Rossi and jake troth release Gems & Rubies on iTunes ! Gems & Rubies is a song about the inevitable question that most dreamers face during their journey to success— should I be doing this? Many of us who decide to take the "path less traveled" will constantly be faced with self doubt along the way. During these times, it is important to embrace the struggle because these are the stories you will have to share once you have reached your desired success.
So I logged in to twitter today to find this track had been sent to me. Never really receive many recommendations on there but really enjoyed this song & I think you guys will to. Jake Troth is a North Carolina native, currently passing time in the Bay Area before heading out here to Colorado for college. The Ups and Downs of Being At The Bottom is his first EP, and he's putting the final touches on it for a spring/summer release. Remind anyone else a bit of Vampire Weekend? Give the track below [...]

Many times I am sent the heads up on upcoming artist and sometimes I enjoy enough that I feel it my duty to pass it on to every one.

If you have been searching around looking for that next big thing, today you might have just hit the jackpot. Filled with catchy lyrics and infectious whistles, "Material Things" is two minutes of pop bliss. Teaming up with Alex Goose ( The Blueprint 3 Outtakes ) on production, Jake Troth takes note from the likes of Vampire Weekend and finds a lane of his own. Along with a stream of the single, check out the clean visuals presented above. I can't reveal much else about Jake's upcoming project, but mark my words, [...]
Here's something fresh that I bought on iTunes today. I came across this record through it's producer Alex Goose , who I have been following since he released his beat submissions for the Blueprint 3 in the form of a mixtape, Blueprint 3 Outtakes . On Material Things , he and new artist Jake Troth bring forth a brilliant two minute record discussing the lure of material possessions. The harmonies are soothing, the claps are stacked to perfection, and the whistling hook is as catchy as they come. Get into a brand new sound [...]
Previously heralded around these parts for his remix of Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" as well as an indie-pop-flavored re-working of T-Pain's "Chopped & Screwed" , North Carolina singer-songwriter Jake Troth proves he can produce approving original material as well with new single "Material Things", a whistle-and-handclap-laden cut that somewhat sarcastically hypes a good life with high-priced gear filling up his closet, model chicks on his arm and an iPod bulging with the best of "Weezy, Jeezy, Yeezy and B.I.G.". "Oh the happiness these materials bring," Troth casually chimes, inspiring a series of [...]
"Material Things" is the latest single by Jake Troth. It's about the love of the world he grew up watching on television. The ridiculously expensive and lavish lives of those people he always wanted to be. It's unbelievably catchy and will without a doubt be stuck in your head for the remainder of the day. [...]
North Carolina singer-songwriter-producer Jake Troth lit up the blogosphere with one of the better of a zillion "Love Lockdown" remixes that we obsessively coveted during the last months of '08. Hoping to continue some of that momentum as well as start building more interest into his own original material, Troth is not only kicking off the new year with a new six-song EP (entitled Might As Whale ) but he's also cooked up this cover of T-Pain's "Chopped & Screwed" as a bonus offering. A bit reminiscent of Hot Chip's [...]
Some kind of can... Musical Mood: Walking home from the bakery (Music that makes you feel upbeat!) and Sit down and relax with an orange (Relaxing, chilled-out,or psychadelic tunes) Rough Genre: Electro-pop/acoustic Now this Jake Troth fellow is clearly a talented man. I've had this album, Might As Whale , which he sent me, sitting on my hard drive since early December and I'll be honest, it didn't blow me away at first, but I did like something about it and [...]
Kanye apparently got a bunch of feedback from his blog and went back to the boards with Love Lockdown, re-singing the vocals, adding heavy taiko drums & toning down the auto-tuner. I didn't like the song before, particularly because of the excessive vocoder effect, but the newly mastered version is slowly growing on me. However, the whole reason I even posted this post is to show off Jake Troth's dance remix, which I can actually stand listening through the whole song! Who is Jake Troth? I got no clue and google didn't tell me any better... but we [...]
lastnightsparty How did I ever miss this Danger remix? Somehow I did. As any Danger track, this one of Midnight Juggernauts sounds like it should be in some 90's show like MacGuyver. Some intuitive thinking to get out of a sticky situation with this playing in the background as MacGuyver manages to fix the hole in the engine with a pen and an egg. I'm pretty sure I've used this description before. Anyways, I'm always very excited about anything from Danger. Second is [...]
"check out mah intricately-shaved head, y'all" ah, Kanye West . who in today's music industry is more egocentric than good ol' Mr. West? if he's not busy complaining about his VMA loss, he's starting bitch fights with some other equally egocentric rapper. the weird thing about it is that we, as listeners and viewers, are continually compelled to forgive him. could it be because he's one talented mofo or just because he's got hair Signs would be proud [...]
