ALBUM REVIEW: TEGAN AND SARA - HEARTTHROB

Tegan & Sara are one of those much appreciated indie duo's that have been around for years, always pumping out great tunes from the early stuff in their career (their 4th album, So Jealous, was where they really struck gold with tracks 'Walking with a Ghost', 'Where do the good go', 'You wouldn't like me' and 'Take me anywhere') up to this new album which is their Seventh Studio album, to be released in 3 days. Their new album is a different direction for them, they've dived head first into Pop territory and honestly I think it's the best thing they could have done. Their voices actually work so well with the beats. To me 'Heartthrob' has been the easiest album to connect with

NEW: Syron - Waterproof

Got introduced to this girl when she was featured on a Rudimental track and I also recall telling her she was amazing on the way up the stairs to the smoking area at XOYO in Shoreditch when my friend and I saw Rudimental back in november. this girl is HOT stuff. She's also been named in iTunes' recommended artists for 2013 and as a result of that her new single 'Waterproof' been offered for free until the 19th of January to anyone living in the UK.. Listen and download (until the 19th!!) below :)

NEW: Neon Hitch - Midnight Sun

I've been checkin' for this girl ever since I first heard her Sia Penned debut single 'Get Over U' back in 2011, midway through last year she released one of my favourite tracks of 2012 'Gold' and it got me so excited for her album ' Beg, Borrow and Steal' which has been a few years in the making and delays from management have pushed the album back and back..

LISTEN: Destiny's Childs new track 'Nuclear' .... It's boring as fuck.

LOL. Destiny's Child have reunited for the Super Bowl half time show and for the release of their Love Song's collection, which is basically just a snooze fest of boring love songs like 'Cater 2 U' Included in the package is their new single to go along with it called 'Nuclear'... Listen below!

LISTEN: SKREAM FT. KELIS - COPYCAT

This came across my radar a little while ago, Skream is probably one of the best Dubstep/Electronic producers going around these days. So it's not surprise that his collaboration with Kweeeeen Kelis is nothing short of fucking amazing.

LIVE PERFORMANCE: SKY FERREIRA - EVERYTHING IS EMBARRASSING

This girl is so great.. This is such a LONG time coming! First television performance from Skye. She's had a few sound switches and image changes and FINALLY she's getting some recognition. The track she performed on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' is her lead single from her 'Ghost' EP that was released back in October 'Everything is Embarrassing' which was probably one of the best tracks of 2012, it topped many end of year blog charts and won hearts all over the joint.

LISTEN: FOXYGEN - SHUGGIE

Foxygen are a signwriting Duo from Los Angeles, They immediately resonated with me when I heard their new single Shuggie back in October, it garnered SOOO many plays on my train trips to and from the city.. I had been waiting for their album 'We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic' which is released on the 22nd of January through JagJaguwar Records.. But it's seemed have leaked early through a promotional pre-order/download which is totally cool with me :)

HAIM - BBC SOUND OF 2013 WINNERS.

Fresh off being the support act for Florence & The Machine's UK/Ireland tour Winners of BBC's Sound of 2013 poll, Sisters, Este, Danielle and Alana 'HAIM' are probably about to blow up out of proportion over the next year or so. Their last single 'Don't Save Me' has already peaked at no. 74 in the US and i'm guessing after the win today that it possibly reach a higher peak as the hype around these girls grows!

NEW TRACK: AZEALIA BANKS - NO PROBLEMS

Fresh off the wack as fuck Diss track by Angel Haze (Who the fuck is she anyway? she only came onto my radar like this week and apparently they've been having some kinda gangsta feud going on for months?) my gurl Ms. Banks has just responded with this track 'No Problems'.. Loving the bass..  Still waiting for the Official Single though.. :)

LISTEN: H U R T S - Miracle

Probably one of my most anticipated releases of the year is HURTS' 2nd album 'Exile'. Their first album 'Happiness' was amazing to say the least and was/is one of my favourite albums of all time.. They have just put the first single 'Miracle' out to radio before it gets a proper release on March 10th and the album following soon after..

NEW TRACK: AZEALIA BANKS - BBD

I was really hesitant about blogging about this seeing as it's kinda late.. But somewhere around NYE, Ms. Banks dropped a new track named BBD (Bad Bitches Do It).. Not sure if it's an album track (Titled: Broke With Expensive Taste.... Her album is supposedly being released Feb. 12) But I'm hoping it's just another teaser of whats to come..
