INTRODUCING: ZARA LARSSON - ROOFTOP

I'm sure that rarely anyone outside of Sweden has really heard of her.. until now, it seems they're really pushing to make her happen, This Swedish beauty won their version of Got Talent back in 2008 (she's still only 16 now…). I would never have known I was listening to a 16 year old sing this song, one of the best things about the swedes is their pop music is so smart and their productions are always so on point that it makes everyone else look rather pathetic..

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!

INSERT, ROTATE, RIDE: Charli XCX - What I Like

So this is a new regular post today that I'm starting called 'Insert, Rotate, Ride' - I don't want people to take this in a dirty way, but hey take it as you may. But I'll give a short explanation as to what it really means Insert = The now caveman way of playing music, inserting a disc into a CD player. Rotate = Hit repeat... repeat, repeat, REPEAT. Ride =  Let it take you on a ride. And by that I mean that it's pretty much tracks you'd chuck on a playlist for 'those' moments ;)

This girl is seriously so hot right now, After releasing one of the best mixtapes of 2012 ('Super Ultra' - If you haven't heard it, you're seriously missing out and I urge you to go get it), writing and featuring in Icona Pop's global smash 'I Love It' and being all round babe, she is gearing up for the release of her debut major label record 'True Romance' which is released this month (Which you can Pre-Order worldwide HERE).  We were already teased with one new track 'You (Ha Ha Ha)' earlier in the year and now we've got 'What I Like'

ALBUM REVIEW: Emma Louise - Vs Head Vs Heart

I don't think I've done much else in the last week apart from listen to this album, I didn't even think about a track of the week as I've been so enthralled with this absolute beautiful collection. This has been almost 2 years of anticipation for me. From the moment I first heard Aussie folk/electro/pop singer songwriter Emma Louise's track 'Jungle' I was completely sold and then her EP came out which I was clinically obsessed with and helped define a time in my life where I was really unsure of where I was going and what I was doing, So it comes to me at no surprise that the connection to her music has continued with this album and BOY it is nothing but impeccable from start to finish..

NEW: Selena Gomez - Rule The World

So it seems that Selena is back (But dropped The Scene) with a house influenced Pop track "Rule The World". Selena was my super guilty pleasure back in 2011. Somehow at every gathering I went to at my friend Rhiannon's place, "Love You Like A Love Song" and "Hit The Lights" would come on at around 1am which we were all inebriated enough. She would also be played loudly on my iPod when I was alone.

New: Justin Timberlake - Tunnel Vision

So as most of the world is probably aware of by now, the reigning King of Pop is back after a ridiculously long music hiatus with his new album "The 20/20 Experience" - Which he has recently confirmed that it is only Part 1 of the Experience. Part 2 has no released date yet but I'm pretty glad there is going to be a second part as I haven't been blown away by this Era so far..

Tune Of The Week: HURTS - Blind

Theo & Adam AKA HURTS have been soothing my soul for the last few years, their debut album was an absolute religion for me. For so many months I lived and breathed their music, so when they dropped their first single earlier this year I was immediately in love all over again and brought me the brink of excitement for their 2nd album 'Exile' which was released last week.

INTRODUCING: Little Jinder - Whatever 4ever

Today I have a new artist to share with you all. Little Jinder originates from Stockholm, Sweden and has been making amazing synth-pop records for a couple of years now. She first burst into the scene in 2008 with first EP and then in 2009 with her track 'Youth Blood' which got remixed by a few big names and ended up on a couple of complications (Fabric, Hed Kandi and Diplo's Blow Your Head).

PREVIEW: Empire Of The Sun - Ice On The Dune

The Boys are back and ready to take over the world again. They are teasing us BAD with this trailer for 'Ice On The Dune'.

NEW: Le Kid - We Are Young

Swedish pop band Le Kid are back after some small success back in 2011 with their track 'Mercy, Mercy' and their debut album 'Oh, Alright!' This time they aren't holding anything back! This new track still has the funk that their previous tracks have had but 'We are young' really is a step ahead!

NEW: Azealia Banks - Yung Rapunxel

Originally meant to be released in about 2 weeks and I can't decide whether I'm happy that she's leaked so early, sometimes when tracks leaks early it really makes for a lackluster performance.. I just hope that Ms. Banks promotes this properly because it's not really the most instantly likeable track she's released which is actually a really brave move for a first single from her first studio album. Pushing boundaries, I love this chick.

Tune Of The Week: Kat Dahlia - Mirror

This weeks Tune Of The Week comes from new comer Kat Dahlia, she caused quite a stir with her lead single from her EP of the same name 'Gangsta' and catapulted herself onto my radar big time!
So with the release of her EP this week came 2 other tracks 'Mirror' and 'Money Party' - Mirror is another mid tempo track which initially I wasn't too keen on, but as I kept playing I actually found many reasons to love this track.

Track Of The Week: Little Boots - Motorway

Little Boots took ownership of my soul back in 2009 with the release of her flawless album 'Hands' - tracks like 'Stuck On Repeat' (AND the Fake Blood Remix was fucking masterpiece), 'Remedy',  'Earthquake', 'New In Town', 'Ghost' 'Hearts Collide', 'Meddle' - ACTUALLY Pretty much every track on the album is worth mentioning so it's no surprise that she was the winner of BBC's Sound of 2009 which was a HUGE achievement considering the people she was up against in that years list (Florence & The Machine, VV Brown, Frankmusik, Mumford & Sons, Kid Cudi, Lady Gaga, La Roux, Passion Pit, The Temper Trap, Empire Of The Sun)

NEW: Parachute - Hearts Go Crazy

Parachute are currently shaping their 3rd studio album which is set to be released around June 2013 and here we have the first taste of what they have been working on..This track is giving me some SERIOUS 'The Wanted' realness and I'm really really enjoying this.

NEW: Young Galaxy - Fall For You

In the early months of 2011, Young Galaxy released one of my favourite albums of the year and quite possibly my life 'Shapeshifting', The pure emotion that was poured into the music was just phenomenal, not to mention the Videos we're always an inspiring accompaniment. My favorite track by far was "Blown Minded"(which I will post below for anyone who has not ever experienced the track) I still rememeber where I was and what I felt when I first heard the track, I was sitting on my bed after a brutal shift at McDonald's and was checking my favourite music blogs for new tracks and I happened to come across this and from the moment the beautiful music poured into my ears I knew I had come across something incredibly special. A few other honourable mentions from 'Shapeshifting' are 'Peripheral Visionaries' -  (which will literally take you on a journey through your own mind - THAT BASS - Absolutely fucking fantastic), 'We Have Everything' and 'B.S.E'.

Fast forward two years and my faves are on the verge of the release of their 4th studio album "Aquamarine'. They released the first single 'Pretty Boy' - which was clinically an obsession for me when it came out and I've been waiting for more ever since. Click to listen to their new single!

Tune Of The Week: YUME - Admire

I don't really know a great deal about this young NY Dream-Hop producer other than that his name is Jesse Taylor and he is 18. All I know after listening to this track is that this tune is fucking mind blowing.. which is why it has been crowned our tune of the week!

NEW: IGGY AZALEA - WORK

Female Aussie White Rapper/Model (I never thought i would utter those words), Iggy Azalea has just dropped her new single 'Work'. it talks (Raps) of her struggles growing up with "No money, no family, 16 in the middle of Miami" and now hard she works for her money, its a pretty basic theme in rap/hip hop these days. I've seen interviews with her and its so funny watching how down to earth and lovely she is and then you hear her behind the mic and its like a completely different person, Not to mention that she is hawt as hell. ;)..

Tune Of The Week - Yelle - L'Amour Parfait

So far my my most exciting post this month, Yelle are back at it again with their new track 'L'Amour Parfait' which is absolutely flawless beyond belief. Produced by GrandMarnier & Aeroplane, this track takes Yelle into a territory of amazingness I'm not sure they have entered before...

NEW: Rebecca & Fiona - Taken Over

These two took the dance music world by storm in 2011 and 2012 with massive tracks 'Jane Doe, Luminary Ones, If She Was Away, Hard and Dance' which got remix treatment from the likes of Adrian Lux, John Dahlback, Blende and Style of Eye to name a few. And the flawless DJ duo are back at it again in 2013 with their STUNNING new track 'Taken Over' featuring House heavy weights Style Of Eye  ..

NEW: My Name Is Kay - Whatever

I was first introduced to Kay when she featured on Tiesto's last album on a track called 'Work Hard Play Hard' which was by far the most played track from that album. She has since had some minor charting tracks in Canada but hasn't really made a dent anywhere. I think it could be all about to change..
