k'naan feat nelly furtado - is anybody out there [yeah... it's a hit... a MAJOR ONE! and it'll also bide time before nelly releases her own album in the summer.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

rebecca ferguson - too good to lose [now this is more like it, rebecca ferguson offers her latest single and it's the perfect blend of retro and modern soul (you can hear shades of the soul house classic 'you got the love' in the background). the video makes no sense whatsoever (um... did they really have to fly over to venice beach to walk down it aimlessly?), but it is nice to see our shy UK x-factor runner up smile so freely in the sun.] want a more upbeat interpretation? check out this perfectly hands up in [...]

francois & the atlas mountains - les plus beaux [get ready to get your awwww on! francois marry and his band of merry men bring us the sweetest sunset roadtrip soundtrack for the new year. throw in elements of graceland and a singalong chorus and it truly is the most beautiful one! le sigh...] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

maverick sabre - no one [third single from maverick sabre's hotly anticipated debut album 'lonely are the brave' and it's mega catchy and mega lush! i'm so in!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

clock opera - once and for all [oh boy... for those who know the wongie favored style of music, will know instantly that this track is just pure aural gold. building melodies leading to a soaring chorus of pain and heartbreak with the instrumentation to back the drama; THIS is heaven! throw in the fact that this london quartet strip down sounds only to bring them back together in loops and harmony makes them an interesting live act to chase down for 2012. i'm buzzing yo!] [...]

the shins - simple song [they're baaaaaack!!! after 5 long years (wtf?!) james mercer brings wonderful new material and a new band for 2012! i am beyond happy! nuff said really!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

ed sheeran - drunk [3rd single off the wonderful '+' album and i'm still in sigh mode when i hear his music!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

jess mills - pixelated people [produced by sam frank , UK songstress jess mills looks set to take on 2012 as a one to watch in the club/dubstep/uk funky world. these tracks are killa and definitely going on repeat for the week!] jess mills - gabriel (roy davis jr cover) [oh i forgot about this 1997 gorgeous house track! so wonderful that jess offers up a lovely tribute cover just as classy as the original!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

gym class heroes feat neon hitch - ass back home (aka "get yourself back home") [them gym class heroes sure know how to write a catchy hook! this time they bring in saucy gal neon hitch into their chart successful web.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

justice - on'n'on [file this under F-ing awesome! director alexandre courtes (white stripes, u2) brings on the trippy and practically insists that the next bond movie should be composed by this duo! prog rock in the house and i LOVE it!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

sleigh bells - comeback kid [they're baaaaack! and they are rocking the walls off with their latest single. calling their tunes more r&b, i'm sure their hipster fans would be shocked to align themselves to that genre of music. i'm game whatever they throw in my face and in this case it's a blast of pure stank facing genius! can't wait to hear more from their upcoming album reign of terror!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

arctic monkeys - black treacle [already the 4th single off the arctic monkeys' 'suck it and see album', i'm definitely feeling this is their catchiest most crossover track from the album (and since i'm such a pophead, it's a good thing for my simple tastes!). i always love the band when alex turner offers his cabaret vocals, throw in the retroness of the track itself and you've got our fave indie single of the week! huzzah!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

nicki minaj - stupid hoe [representing her latest alter ego roman zolanski, nicki's latest single is a nasty beat ridden frontin' piece of genius. it's sounding that 'pink friday: roman reloaded' is going to be alot more edgy than the poppiness of 'superbass'. i'm not complaining, i'm just trying to figure out how the heck i'm going to booty shake to this...] Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

santigold - big mouth [four LONG years!! so with much ecstatic pleasure let us welcome the return of santigold (with the chaotic help of buraka som systema on the producing tip!) turn this mutha up! oh and if you want it for free, go to her website now!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

katy perry - the one that got away ( acoustic version ) [i've been hoping for an acoustic version of this song since the beginning and here we have it! produced by jon brion, this is glorious!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

graffiti6 - free [back in 2007 we fell in love with a soulful singer/songwriter with a voice of butter named jamie scott . unfortunately his music got lost in the midst of all the releases that year and he found himself losing out on the success that he so deserved. fast forward to 2012 and something about the crazy harmonies and strong soulful approach of this song 'free' made me perk my ears up. so imagine my happiness when i discovered that my beloved jamie teamed up with producer tommy d (adele/kanye west) and created the [...]

dry the river - weights & measures [i really shouldn't say too much about this song only that it's epic, beautifully heartbreaking and well... our song of the month. thank you dry the river!] dry the river - weights & measures (live @ bush hall) [check out this amazing song performed live by the boys (especially the acapella intro sans mic!)] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
