BRAND SPANKIN' THURSDAY VOL. IV



We're back with a DOUBLE EDITION this week seeing as we missed out on last weeks countdown due to basically just being too busy and not being home long enough! So, let's get to it! We've got 10 KILLER tracks for you guys this week from Neon Jungle, Lana Del Rey, Steve Aoki, Danity Kane, Sia AND MORE!! which are SURE to get you up out of your seat belting these out!



1. Neon Jungle - Louder

When I heard this for the first time I was pleasantly surprised.. gone are the thumping dance beats of their previous singles and in place is just a pure UK pop beat. favourite line comes just before the chorus drops "So pull every pin, from every grenade and blow it all up in my face". These girls are kicking goals with this song!



2. Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence

The title track from her forthcoming album (less than a week until it's release!!!) is probably the hardest hitting we've heard from LDR so far from this album. The lyrics are dark and somewhat confronting but it all works for her. So far my favourite track that's been released from the album.



3. Adore Delano - I Adore U

Wow. I was totally expecting this whole album to be a hot mess after DTF was released, the future looked bleak for the queen who wanted to bring drag to the mainstream.. Up until 'I Adore U' was released as the second single and completely snatched my weave. Easily the deepest moment on the album and easily the best. More of this stuff pls Adore.. F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S.
Favourite line is when adore is rapping over the tripping drum beat "The falling out was easy but I hate that you don't need me"



4. Danity Kane Feat. Tyga - Lemonade

This marks the first single from the ever flawless DK in over 5 years, though the group has been whittled down to 3 members (So glad they haven't replaced anyone) I couldn't be happier. Basically any new music that involves Dawn Richard I am 100% there for. This track is a bouncy return to form, I could do without the feature, I don't think the track needs it.



5. Sia - Eye Of The Needle.

What does one say about Sia? this lady is so so so talented. I absolutely LOVE this song, I'm so glad that so far theres not a dance beat in sight, the O-WHOAA-OO-AAOO-AAOO on the chorus just takes the whole track to another level. I definitely prefer this over Chandelier.



6. Steve Aoki Ft. Chris Lake - Delirious

Ahhhh, Steve NEVER disappoints! This track is an absolute bop and a half. Love the vocals and the beat, so ggooooooddddd. I don't even have anything else so say, just so good.


7. Dami Im - Super Love.

This track has been kicking around for about a month now but it's only just grown on me completely, anyone that doesn't know, Dami Im is the powerhouse vocalist who completely snatched the X Factor AUS crown in 2013, she got standing ovations for almost every single one of her performances. It's one quirky, talented lady and I am really looking forward to her album. Super Love plays out like an Avicci-esk track complete with twangy guitar. It's definitely a grower, this is evident by it's so crawl up the Aria Charts.



8. Phillip Phillips - Searchlight.

Mr. Phillips is definitely the most talented artist to come out of American Idol in recent years, His sophomore album is absolutely stunning and his voice is so god damn sexy. "Searchlight" is easily the catchiest of the bunch, from the first time the chorus comes around with the claps, crashing drums and his husky raw vocals *melting* "Can you bring me back to life, When my heart's in smithereens, I wanna feel what it's like to be surrounded by you". His label is bonkers if they don't make this a single!!




9. Angus & Julia Stone - Heart Beats Slow

After a fairly long break to pursue mildly successful solo projects, FINALLY. They're back. No one quite does it like these two. There's something so magical about their voices together that just brings me to a state of pure bliss. This new single, the first from their forthcoming album embodies everything you'd come to expect from them and I'm really quite glad about it. Will be rocking out to this for a long time! If you haven't already got this stuck in your head, watch out, it's a grower!



10. Mohombi - Movin' (Feat Birdman, KCM & Caskey)

Mohombi is someone who's been around for quite a while and hasn't really made much of a splash, he has written some pretty solid tracks for other artists but now it seems the focus has been shifted to his solo career. This trumpet laden Red-One produced track caters to everything that's in trend right now. Ready to ride this wave of this hawaiian babe. Red-One got his mojo back?
