_White Denim – “No Real Reason”

We’ve got no real reason for not sharing this mellow track by White Denim. “No Real Reason” is taken from their 4 track Takes Place in your Work Space EP, which was out two weeks ago.

_Emma Louise – “Jungle”

A friend of mine recently showed me a track called “Jungle”, and it quickly grabbed my attention because of Emma Louise’ airy, dainty voice which contrasts with the earthy, trembling bass. The track is very ethereal, and I found myself in calm, emotional trance.

Anyways, this a quality track, check it out. If you’re a fan of Florence and the Machine you’ll definitely like Emma Louise. She released an EP earlier this year which I will check out soon.

_Karlsson & Winnberg – “The Dance” (feat. Spank Rock)

Christian Karlsson & Pontus Winnberg, the boys behind the brilliant Miike Snow and Bloodshy & Avant have collaborated with Spank Rock to create a bumpin’ track titled “The Dance”. It’s full of energy and fun as the emcee repeatedly shouts out random words like ‘move, stop, ugh’ and sings/shouts the lyrics in a wittingly silly voice.

_Lana Del Rey – “Video Games” (Club Clique For The Bad Girls Remix)

I’ve only heard of a couple of Lana Del Rey‘s songs and I’ve already fallen in love with her. Everything from her look to her music is visually stunning. Club Clique is remixing both “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans” for her double a-side, but for now we only get to hear their take on “Video Games“. It’s definitely a more polished pop-dance track, with a solid beat and glimpses of glitter magic spread throughout the track.

_Rihanna – “We Found Love”

Rihanna hasn’t even dropped her latest single “Cheers” from ‘Loud’ to the radio waves yet, and she has already a new album and single planned for release within the next 2 months. Calvin Harris is behind her newest single titled “We Found Love“. Even if I hadn’t known anything about this track I would’ve definitely recognized his signature modern-disco beats. Certain qualities of this track bother me though: there isn’t much depth, horrible lyrics, and that godawful cheesy buildup you should only hear in remixes at DJ shows.

Something to note about Rihanna is that she’s very, very good at making a great fusion of dance and radio hits. As awful and limited as the lyrics may be, the public will eat it up. However, the thing about this is that people hype it to an extent that makes you want to cringe after a short amount of time of it being released.

_The Naked and Famous – “The Sun” (Music Video)

The Naked And Famous – The Sun from The Naked And Famous on Vimeo.

The Naked and Famous have released a colorful video for their newest single, “The Sun”. The NSFW video for the song taken from their album ‘Passive Me, Agressive You‘ is full of glitter, squares, and nude couples making out. It is truly a work of art, which has already been taken down from Youtube but can be viewed on Vimeo above.

_Alex Winston – “Velvet Elvis” (RAC Remix)

This is my first time listening to Alex Winston (actually I made myself listen to the original before this remix) and I’m loving her so far. Remix Artist Collective mixed “Velvet Elvis” into a sweet, more poppy tune, a track that definitely needs more hype. Listen to the original on her Soundcloud account here.

_Feist – “How Come You Never Go There”

After a 4 year wait since her mainstream success from her last release, ‘The Reminder’, Feist is back with a new single titled “How Come You Never Go There”. Although I must admit I expected a more ‘pop-py’ track, this jazzy, soulful, mystical track is definitely a grower. Just 3 plays in and I am deeply into it. Perhaps it’s not the best choice for such an anticipated single, but Feist fans will sure eat it up. ‘Metals‘ is out on October 4th.
