Well, this turned out to be a nice week for new music. Of course, the biggest news was the release of Ariana Grande's Sweetener, but none of the new songs on the album match the intensity of its' first three singles. And so you won't find any of them in this week's spotlight, but you will see and hear new stuff from Janet Jackson, Calvin Harris with Sam Smith, and other great new tunes to whet your appetite. So without further adieu, here we go...
One of the most interesting new music tracks of the week comes from Calvin Harris, featuring the beautiful voice of Sam Smith on vocals. Promises is Smith's first foray into dance music since guesting on Disclosure's 2013 Latch, and to me this one is way easier to get into. I usually shy away from Smith, mostly because I'm not a huge fan of ballads, but this one is oh so good. Check out Promises...
All I Am - Jess Glynne
I love the sound of Jess Glynne's voice and I almost always love the inspirational/fee-good vibe to her songs, and this new one's got both. Check out All I Am...
How Does It Feel - M22
If you love a big dance song with strong female vocals, then this is a song for you. British dance music duo has come up with a big one featuring the powerful vocals of one Miss Hayley May. Great vibe on this one...check it out...
Made For Now - Janet Jackson, Daddy Yankee
Janet Jackson is back in a big way with a somewhat surprising and pleasing new single (possible album in the works??!!!). This one's got the feel of a vintage Janet tune, happy and catchy, and the addition of Daddy Yankee into the fold will surely expand the listening base of this one. The two debuted the tune on Jimmy Fallon the other night, but there is also a video. Check out Made For Now...
Exit (The Wrong Way) - Marsheaux
Ooh, I love this one. It's by Greek synth-pop duo Marsheaux and it's got the feel of an 80's synth-heavy club jam. Love, love, love! Check out Exit (The Wrong Way)...
Here are this week's honorable mentions...
Happier - Marshmello, Bastille
Real Friends - Camila Cabello, Swae Lee
Goodbyes - The Knocks, Method Man
Sideways - Uffie
