We follow the debut of new music from Harry Styles yesterday with a new track from fellow One Direction band mate Liam Payne, who dropped his new LP1 just a week prior. Payne's solo music is decidedly more pop/dance than Styles, a bit closer to yet more mature than their former band. Here's one of the tracks from the new record, a laid back pop song with DJ trio Cheat Codes. Here's Live Forever...
Cheat Codes is definitely one of my favorite artists currently and this recent single, featuring Sofia Reyes and Willy William is sweet, just sweet! Check out Highway...
I've been feeling like I haven't been sharing much recent music lately, and that's going to change a bit. The one thing I absolutely love about music is its fluidity. No matter how much music gets put out there, there's always something to love, and this light and airy tune by EDM trio Cheat Codes, with Daniel Blume, is chock full of happy vibes. Check out Who's Got Your Love...
This was a rare week in new music, as all five of the songs I've chosen are great dance tunes that'll surely be played out by me all summer long. If you like dance music, check them out...
Self Control - Bebe Rexha
Singer Bebe Rexha just came out with her first solo album, Expectations, and it's chock full of pop deliciousness, including this one, the record's third single. Check out Self Control...
Only You - Cheat Codes, Lil Mix
Two of my favorite dance artists have gotten together to make this easy-breezy summer jam. Check out Only You...
I Told You - Nora Van Elken
Now this is exactly the type of song I love...chill, dance, strong female vocals...mwah! I actually added this one twice to my Current folder just so I wouldn't miss it for this posting. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere on video, audio, nothing. Check it out on iTunes or Spotify...it'll be worth your time!
Rooftops - Marshmello
I don't necessarily love everything Marshmello does, but when he does it good, I love it, and Rooftops is good! Check it out...
Ring Ring - Jax Jones, Mabel, Rich the Kid
Capping off a rare week of several nice dance tunes is another EDM favorite, Jax Jones with another very smooth, likable dance track. Check out the funky Ring Ring...

Check out Lost My Mind...
Nights Like These - Ne Yo, Romeo Santos
R&B singer Ne-Yo's got a brand new album out and this accompanying single, an acoustic duet with Aventura singer Romeo Santos. It's the best thing I've heard from the singer in awhile and I'm definitely going to check out Good Man. Here's Nights Like These...
