Song of the Day - Get It Right - Diplo, MO

Another one of my favorite tunes of the year comes from Diplo, in collaboration with Danish singer MO.  Not only does the mid-tempo tune have a nice sound, the message is oh so important and one which I hope...I believe I did this year!  Here's Get It Right...

Dear Sense - Louis the Child, MAX

I love Louis the Child and I am really loving this easy-to-learn jam.  Check out Dear Sense...

Shame - Elle King

Who remembers Elle King, that sassy songstress that kinda reminds me of Meghan Trainor, only with slightly more sass?  Yeah, she hit it big about four years ago with the fun Ex's and Oh's, and now she's all set to debut her second album with this equally fun and funky one.  Check out Shame...

Satisfied - Galantis, Max

I am loving Swedish electronic dance masters Galantis more and more with every new release they make, and this week they've put out two new songs, Mama Look At Me Now, and this one, a funky, easily likable neo-discoish dance jam.  Satisfied is a perfect summer jam, so check it out...

New Music Fridays, May 11th, 2018

Hello and welcome back to New Music Fridays, a weekly look at some of the best in new music releases of the week.  As always, we've got some nice pop sensations and tasty beats to whet your musical whistle, so without further adieu...

Girls - Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX, Cardi B

One of the most talked-about songs of the week is this one by Rita Ora, featuring Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX and Cardi B.  First of all, musically the song is catchy and pleasing, and of course the bisexual themes are going to be controversial.  Singer Hayley Kiyoko, who put out her own song about bisexual issues, spoke out against the song as being one that works to fuel the male gaze while marginalizing the idea of women loving women.  Perhaps!  Ora addressed the criticism here, and in the meantime here's Girls...

Back to You - Selena Gomez

The Netflix Original Series 13 Reasons Why has returned for a second season and Selena Gomez recorded a sweet, sweet song for its' soundtrack, with softly sung verses and an uplifting chorus.  Check out the ear-pleasing Back to You...

Fun - Kaskade, BROHUG, Mr. Tape, Madge

If you like funky, mindless dance jams like I do, then you're going to love this fun beat bopping jam.  Check out Fun...

Stay Open - Diplo, MO

Diplo released two new songs this week, one with Sia and Labrinth, and this one with Danish singer MO (one of these days I'll learn to get that "O" right!).  Though they're both nice tunes, I tend to find this one a little more pleasing.  Stay Open has got a nice sound to it, nice bright beats and very dancey. Check it out...

Bad Decision - Chromeo

Canadian duo Chromeo brings us a funky, neo-disco jam that's instantly likable,  Check out Bad Decision...

As always, I love sharing new music with you and I hope you find something new to like within these posts.  With that said, stay tuned for more New Music Fridays and in the meantime, check out this week;s honorable mentions...

They can try to hold me down, but I am

I'm gonna get it right

When the sky is filled with smoke and fire

I'm gonna get it right

All I want is something better in the purple light

They can try to hold me down, but I am

I'm gonna get it right

On this day I am reminded that this is what my mission in life is...just get it right!  

New Music Fridays, November 17th, 2017 - The Week's Freshest New Tracks

Get It Right - Diplo, feat. MO

The Beautiful & Damned - G-Eazy, Zoe Nash

Maybe it's my age, but I really don't find a lot to like about today's hip hop or rap music, whatever it's called these days, but here's one I can sink my teeth into.  I know why, too.  It's not the rap part of this tune that makes me move when I listen, but the raspy vocals of one Ms. Zoe Nash, whose part gives the track a really nice groove.  Check out The Beautiful & Damned...

Pineapple Skies - Miguel

I am loving R&B artist Miguel.  It seems like whenever he puts out a new tune, I am posting it here.  His latest, Pineapple Skies is a groovalicious, easy breezy, soulful jam.  Check it out...

All Night - Steve Aoki, Lauren Jauregui

On the softer side of the dance music scene comes this very likable dance jam by superstar deejay/producer Steve Aoki, featuring sweet-voiced singer Lauren Jauregui.  Check out All Night...

Song of the Day - Revolution - Diplo, feat. Faustix & Imanos & Kai

Don't ask me how I just now discovered this dramatic and frenzied dance jam just now, because I'm just seeing from my searches that it was released way back in 2010.  Late or not, I'm glad I did.  Great song.....

Summer Jams Song of the Day - Where Are Ü Now - Skrillex & Diplo, with Justin Bieber

At first listen, you'd think this song was down and out R&B, but eventually you ease into the island rhythms and dancey beats and realize it's so much more than that.  This Skrillex/Diplo/Bieber collaboration is actually a marvelous concoction of several different genres of music, and is pretty hot right now, too.  Take a listen...
