I have been loving British singer RAYE's work as guest vocalist on some really great dance tracks with Jax Jones, Martin Solveig, and David Guetta, so when I saw she had a new song out all on her own I had to check it out. All Of My Love is a slow jazzy type of pop ballad that's pretty damned hypnotic. Check it out...ooh, and check out the cover!
This third collaboration between master deejay/producers David Guetta and MORTEN is being described as the newest version and the future of house music. Check out Make It To Heaven...
This recent collaboration between two of my favorite deejay/producers has got a really groove-alicious sound and a really nice hook. Check out Thing For You...

The latest from superstar deejay/producer David Guetta is a pleasant dance track featuring the beautiful vocals of Brit pop singer Raye and a steady, pulsing beat. Check out Stay (Don't Go Away)...
Well I've been a busy boy lately, and I just haven't had the time to put out any new music posts. But I'm back, and it's been a good week...

When I first saw that David Guetta was working with Anne-Marie, I got really excited. Part of his thing over the years has been working with funky and powerful divas and she is a relatively new singer who fits that bill. Though this one is more mid-tempo than what I expected, it's got a pop sensibility about it that surely makes it worth listening to. Check out Don't Leave Me Alone...
Happy Memorial Day everyone! Here's a more recent dance jam that I've added to my All Time Favorite Dance playlist. Sooooo dance-able! Here's Dirty Sexy Money...

Hello and welcome again to my weekly New Music Fridays post, where I put the spotlight on my picks for the best new music of the week. There were a lot of songs I bookmarked this week and it was hard to narrow it down to just five, but here goes...
In My Blood/Lost In Japan - Shawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes fans were certainly happy this Friday with the release of two brand new songs, In My Blood and Lost In Japan. Both songs continue to show that this young talent is just that...a talent. The first one's got that raw, emotional feel and is instantly likable, while the second is a little more upbeat and sweet! Check out both songs right here...
Flames - David Guetta and Sia
It's been awhile since David Guetta and Sia have gotten together to make some music, and boy did they make a winner this time. Like their previous big hit, Titanium, this one's inspirational and though not as clubby as the former, it's got a really nice groove. Check out Flames...
Say Amen (Saturday Night) - Panic at the Disco
I never thought I would spotlight a Panic at the Disco song on this blog. They're really just not my thing, but this song is just powerfully fun, and so is the video. Check out Say Amen (Saturday Night)...
Nirvana - INNA
I've been a big fan of Romanian singer INNA since her 2010 tropical house tune Sun Is Up. Well, she's got a new album and the title cut has just been released as a single. It is hot! Check out Nirvana...
As I mentioned earlier, there were lots of nice new tunes this week. Here are my honorable mentions, most of whom almost made the cut above. Check them out below and I will see you in a couple of weeks as I will be on vacay...
Psychopath - Charlotte Lawrence, Nina Nesbitt, Sasha Sloan

It's President's Week, and there's lots of good new stuff this week to be heard. Check out the best of this week's new music tracks...
You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers
Seemingly former EDM masters The Chainsmokers continue where they left off on their last single, Sick Boy, with a more alternative sound that's more down tempo than what we're used to from the duo...and it works. Check out some vampirish terror in the accompanying video for You Owe Me...
Mad Love - Sean Paul, David Guetta, Becky G
One of my favorite tunes of the week is this bouncy lil piece of dance floor heaven featuring the likes of Sean Paul, Becky G and David Guetta. Sean and Becky's unique island vocals play a perfect complement to Guetta's big beats. Check out Mad Love...
Run For Your Life - K. Flay
I first discovered rock songstress K. Flay with her badass tune Blood In the Cut early last year and I've been waiting for something new from her ever since. Well, Flay has just released a new tune from the soundtrack to the upcoming film Tomb Raider and it's the same nice, high energy rock and roll that made me love her in the first place. Check out Run For Your Life...
1,2,3 - Sofia Reyes, featuring Jason Derulo, De La Ghetto
Twenty-two year old Latin Grammy nominee singer Sofia Reyes teams up with Jason Derulo and De La Ghetto on this ultra-catchy Spanglish jam, featuring head-bopping Latin beats, funky melodies and everything in between. Hot song! Check out 1,2,3...
Deep Breaths - Lookas, Cal
All of the pieces I've seen about this tune have included the word 'summer' and for good reason. Yes, this dance jam has all of the markings of a hot summer jam, catchy tropical beats and some nice vocals by singer Cal. Miami producer Lookas has really scored with this one! Ooh if only it were closer to summer. Here's Deep Breaths...
So there you go, five really hot new tracks to get you going this President's Week. Of course, these five tunes aren't the only ones worth noting from this week's crop of new music. Here are some honorable mentions you might want to check out, as well:
Back in early November, I highlighted a new collaboration with legendary deejay/producers David Guetta and Afrojack called Dirty Sexy Money. Many of the reviews I had seen were somewhat unfavorable, but I likened it to something out of Guetta's uber-successful past, big on vocals and big on sound. I, for one, love Dirty Sexy Money (even though I hate the title!). Check out the brand new video...

British producer Jax Jones follows up his Demi Lovato/Stfflon Don collaboration, Instruction, with a brand new dance floor filler.

Check out Breathe...
Off My Feet - Pia Mia
Guam born and YouTube personality Pia Mia has just released a brand new track and it is pure pop deliciousness, catchy and pleasing to the ears. Check out Off My Feet...
Never Too Late (YOUNOTUS Mix) - Alle Farben, Sam Gray
I've loved the music of German deejay/producer ever since his collaboration with Graham Candy on the irresistibly chill Sometimes. This mix of Farben's latest is a little less chill, a little more bright than the former track, and it's oh so feel-good! Check out Never Too Late...
bruised - morgxn, Lenno
I love me some good neo-disco, and this fresh track from indie artist Morgxn has all the elements of a good old disco track from the 70's. Just click play, close your eyes and let the music take you back and away. Check out bruised...

Dirty Sexy Money - David Guetta & Afrojack, featuring Charli XCX and French Montana
Superstar deejay/producer David Guetta is back with a really nice tune that hearkens back to some of the great tracks from his One Love and Nothing But the Beat records. This time, Guetta is helped out by fellow producer Afrojack (...and some uncredited production from Skrillex.) and vocalists Charli XCX and French Montana, and the result is some good old-fashioned dance floor filler. Check out Dirty Sexy Money...
Told You So - Miguel
R&B singer Miguel has been busy of late, dropping songs from his forthcoming album War & Leisure, and this, his latest, is a funky jam that brings to mind such funk music greats as Prince and Bruno Mars. Check out the delightful Told You So...

I was instantly mesmerized by the hypnotic house beats of this late night jam. The track is by Brooklyn-based singer yaeji, who Pitchfork calls "House Music's Most Exciting New Voice." Check out raingurl and find out why...

British singer/songwriter JONES has released one of my favorite tunes of the week. Something Bout Our Love is a radio friendly tune that's very, very catchy. Check it out...
This week has seen some really good dance music and this one is funky all the way through. With big beats, sexy vocals and even a little bit of island flavor, this one's definitely a winner! Check out Instruction...
