Song of the Day - Cry For Me - Camila Cabello

In case you haven't noticed, Camila Cabello is back, and she's already released 4 songs from her upcoming sophomore album, Romance.  This one she performed on a recent episode of SNL and it's so hard not to think of the inspiration for this performance.  Do you know what I'm talking about?  Well, don't just stand there, listen to it, Cry For Me...

Song of the Day - South of the Border - Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello, Cardi B

Without a doubt my favorite song off of Ed Sheeran's new No. 6 Collaborations Project has this smooth, beautifully written, island, south of the bordery feel, full of awesome, catchy lyrics and a background hook that just gets me.  Check out South of the Border...

New Music Fridays, December 8th, 2017 - Five of the Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome back to John's World's New Music Fridays, a weekly look at the hottest new music tracks of the week.  Let's get right down to this week's selections...

Out of My Head - Charli XCX, feat. Tove Lo, ALMA

I've wanted to like British songstress Charli XCX for a long time now, but until now I haven't heard anything stellar enough from her to sink my teeth into.  Again, till now.  This new one, featuring Tove Lo and ALMA is a pleasant, catchy song I can definitely wrap my ears around.  Check out Out of My Head...

Untouchable - Eminem

Though Eminem is admittedly a legend and his legions of fans can argue all day which of his tracks they like best, I've never really liked his stuff.  Well Em is back with some brand new stuff.  First it was the tender Walk On Water with Beyoncé a couple of weeks ago and this week finds him bringing some old school sounds to some very current lyrics.  Check out Untouchable...

Never Be the Same - Camila Cabello

Former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello has had a very productive 2017.  With a couple of hot singles previewing her just-released debut solo effort, Cabello's name has no doubt catapulted into a lot of music lovers' collective minds and her popularity will only continue to grow with tunes like this one.  Here's the sweet Never be the Same...

I Could Always - Le Youth, feat. MNDR

Here's a nice, disco-ish tune from producers Le Youth and MNDR.  Check out I Could Always...

Everyday - NVDES

...and speaking of neo-disco, here's a funked up track by LA-based production team known as NVDES.  With several nice tunes under their belt already, this is an artist that will be on my radar for a long time to come.  Check out Everyday...

Well, that's a wrap for the week.  Be sure to stay tuned to John's Music World's New Music Fridays coming soon.

Song of the Day - Havana - Camila Cabello, feat. Young Thug

Just a day after the release of her debut solo album, Camila, we share its first single, a tune I spotlighted way back in August that has finally come into its own.  There's a video for the track now, and it's pretty darned entertaining.  Check out Havana...

Hump Day Song of the Day - OMG - Camila Cabello, feat. Quavo

Cuban-born former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello is becoming a hot new artist all on her own.  Her upcoming solo debut, The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving has already spawned the hot, Latin-tinged Havana and this sensual one that is a perfect fit for Hump Day.  Check out OMG...

New Music Fridays: August 25th, 2017 - The Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome back to John's Music World New Music Fridays.  This week's slate of releases was not overly stellar, but as always there are a few new nice tracks to sink your teeth into.  Check out this week's best in new music...

New Rules - Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa is a British artist who released her debut eponymous album back in June.  The album has already spawned seven singles, and this, the sixth, has been the most successful.  The tune was actually released in July, but just discovered by me on my weekly expedition for new music, and it caught my ear for its tropical, easy-breezy grooves and its mellow vocals.  If you love tropical house, then you're going to love this one.  Check it out...

You Already Know - Fergie, featuring Nicki Minaj

On Friday, Fergie, of the Black Eyed Peas, released two surprise (well, to me, anyway) singles from her upcoming Double Dutchess album.  When I first heard the news, I immediately checked them out.  One, Hungry with Rick Ross, I wasn't crazy about, but this one...ooh!  Vintage bad girl funkdified Fergalicious!  Check out my Song of the Day post of the jam here.

He Like That - Fifth Harmony

After their irresistible smash, Work From Home, I tried, I really tried to like this girl group known as Fifth Harmony.  I went through their catalog of tunes and never quite found anything that floated my boat, until this one.  He Like That is a funky, mid-tempo tune that's got head bopping beats, and a nice, catchy hook.  Check it out... 

Look What You Made Me Do - Taylor Swift

I am not now, nor have ever been any sort of fan of Taylor Swift, so this one is included simply for posterity.  I've seen a lot of negative comments from Swift fans about this newest single from her upcoming Reputation album, and even a really bad review of the song and the video in USA Today.  I don't think the song is all that bad.  Yeah, it does sound like she's kind of whining about whatever negatives have floated her way over the years, but musically this one is pure unadulterated pop, and proving it so, Swift's video shattered a record previously held by Adele for most YouTube views in a 24 hour period.  Check it out for yourself...

Havana - Camila Cabello, Young Thug

This last entry is unusual for this sort of post, mostly because it's not really mainstream.  It's got an irresistible mid-tempo Spanish back beat set to former Fifth Harmony member Cabello's sultry vocals.  I loved this one from the very first listen.  Check it out...
