Lost Kings (ft. Katelyn Tarver) – “You” (Proppa Remix)

March 25, 2016

Without a doubt, one of the hottest pop singles of 2016 thusfar has been Lost Kings’ and Katelyn Tarver’s “You.” It came in just the right time for when Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” was one play away from getting annoying. Almost on cue, Lost Kings and Katelyn Tarver delivered a song that nourishes our need for falsetto vocals, bass drops, Latin rhythm, and an infectious chorus. The song was perfect… until Chicago-producer Proppa got a hold of it, re-worked the song to give it an almost Bag Raiders feel, and made this song absolutely contagious. Take a listen below.

Alex the Astronaut – “Half of 21st Street”

March 24, 2016

Aussie native turned temporary New York transplant, Alex the Astronaut, released her first single close to a month ago, and it’s an indie-pop gem. Alex is a passionate story teller, and “Half of 21st Street” is a testament to her skills. The song is a love story (as half of songs are), of two individuals that start innocent and develop into something that is real.  If indie-pop Regina Spektor with an Australian accent sounds appealing, then you’ll be into Alex the Astronaut. Check out “Half of 21st Street” below.

David Sanya & EhCee – “Liquid Love”

March 23, 2016

David Sanya and EhCee’s “Liquid Love” is a song that’s ready to be featured in a commercial. The track from the Toronto-based artists has that distinct sound to it, one that’d bring your attention to the tv to watch an outfit of ethnically diverse 20-somethings happily sipping on some Sprite. That’s a likely situation. EhCee’s fantastic pop-R&B chorus jumps out with every listen. Distinct and catchy; it’s nearly anthemic. David Sanya’s production plods and pops when needed, echoing melodies and providing some clever bubbling throughout. EhCee’s voice has a lot of single-power, and Sanya’s sphere of influence allows for him to create all sorts of future R&B sounds in his production. Listen to “Liquid Love” below.
