New Music Fridays, March 16th, 2018

Hello and welcome once again to New Music Fridays, even though it's Monday, lol.  I bookmarked a lot of songs this week, and it was hard to cram it down to just five, but here goes...

Everybody Hates Me - The Chainsmokers

Okay, well any new Chainsmokers' tune will almost always get attention from me.  They've been that high on my list as long as they've been around.  This time, though, I'm not a huge fan.  The boys newest track picks up on the same theme as their last two singles, Sick Boy and You Owe Me...no romantic happiness, no sweetness, just some more self-deprecating whining.  The only bright spot is that this one does carry a twinge of EDM.  Check it out and see...

Freaky Friday - Lil Dicky, Chris Brown

I have to admit that I never heard of Lil Dicky before.  Apparently he's a 30 year old comedian/rapper and he just put out his first song in over three years with R&B bad boy Chris Brown...and I love it!  The song takes its' name from the famous movie and the vid for the tune shows the two artists switching spots.  Pretty good!  Oh, and check out some of the cameos, too!  Check out Freaky Friday...

Done For Me - Charlie Puth, Kehlani

Charlie Puth follows up his highly successful, and funky, How Long with a nice collaboration featuring the likes of Oakland-based songstress Kehlani.  This one's as funky as the former, and it's full of pop smoothness, as well.  Check out Done For Me...

Answerphone - Banx & Ranx, Ella Eyre, Yxng Bane

Though there are some big names in this week's new music tracks, they aren't necessarily the best of the best.  Banx & Ranx's newest is nothing but a hip shakin' slice of pure dance pleasure.  Check out Answerphone...

Remind Me to Forget - Kygo, Miguel

Oh, two of my favorite artists together on one track!  R&B singer Miguel's voice lends itself wonderfully to Kygo's beats.  Awesome!

All in all, this was a really nice week in new music, not only the ones featured here, but for these honorable mentions, as well:

Alone - Halsey, Big Sean

Let It Be - Hayley Kyoko

Over You - Kasbo, Frida Sundemo

Alien - Sabrina Carpenter, Jonas Blue

Be Like You - Whethan, Broods

Over My Head - Echosmith

Strawberries & Cigarettes - Troye Sivan

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - I Can Only Imagine - David Guetta, feat. Chris Brown & Lil Wayne

One of the hottest tunes off of David Guetta's smash album, Nothing But the Beat, features Chris Brown doing what he does best and Lil Wayne throwing some funky raps into this high energy dance anthem.  Perfect song for a Friday.  Enjoy...

Song of the Day - Yeah 3X - Chris Brown

I went into the city last night with my pal Manny and his friend Nelson, and along the way we were listening to an old playlist of mine called Current Faves.  These are songs that used to exist in my Current folder, but once they were no longer current I put them in this new folder just for the purpose of reminiscing.  That's just what we did last night, not remembering the really old times, but reliving some jams from just a few years back.  Many of them reminded me of going to Splash and all the good memories I had there.  And here's a great dance tune from that time...

Song of the Day - As Your Friend - Afrojack, featuring Chris Brown

Here's another stellar track from Afrojack's Forget the World album.  As Your Friend features the vocals of Chris Brown, whose voice just blends well with dance floor jams.  Check it out and then go out and have a great day...

Song of the Day - Yeah 3x - Chris Brown

Last night I ventured into the city with my pal Manny and we jammed out to a lot of dance music from the past decade on the way in.  This is the one song that stuck in my head this morning.  Great dance tune!  Enjoy and Happy Sunday!
