New Music Fridays, September 21st, 2018

At first, I didn't think there would be enough new songs worthy of a spotlight here to make five, but as I re-listened to this week's new music tracks I found that there were, only not my usual dance fare.  Check out this week's new music tracks...

Zero - Imagine Dragons

Rockers Imagine Dragons have released a very likable song from the closing credits of the upcoming Disney film Ralph Breaks the Internet.  Check out the cool lyric video for Zero...

Lento - Rudy Mancuso

Though I've never heard of actor, musician and Internet personality Rudy Mancuso, he's apparently pretty popular.  The 26 year-old has a new song and video out that's pretty smooth, featuring lento, or slow, Latin/Brazilian sounds, and the video is pretty entertaining, too!  Check out Lento...  

Imaginary Friend - MO

I am loving everything Danish singer/songwriter MO does, and this one's a little more sultry than what she usually puts out, but it's really good, nonetheless.  Check out Imaginary Friend...

Naturally Pretty Girls - Elle King

Singer Elle King is really coming into a steady roll with her newest, the follow-up to the sassy Shame.   Here she uses her words to show us just what she thinks of Naturally Pretty Girls.  Check it out...

Over You - Macy Gray

I've always loved Macy Gray, so I was very excited to see she put out a new album, and on this song she sounds just as good as ever.  Unfortunately there is not even a lyric video for the tune, but you can check it out on Spotify.

Here are this week's honorable mentions...

Bottled Up - Dinah Jane, Ty Dolla $ign, Mark E. Bassy

This Feeling - The Chainsmokers, Kelsea Ballerini

Let You Love Me - Rita Ora

Roll With Me - Bantu, Jonas Blue, Shungudzo, ZieZie

Head Above Water - Avril Lavigne

Venice Bitch - Lana Del Ray

Back Together - Loote

Punches - Noah Cyrus, LP

If I'm Gone Tomorrow (It's Because of Aliens) - MUNYA

Song of the Day - Shame - Elle King

A couple of weeks ago I included this new sassy jam in my New Music Fridays column, and it's just as sassy and likable now as it was then.  Check out Elle King and Shame...

New Music Fridays, August 10th, 2018

Hello and welcome once again to John's World's New Music Fridays, a weekly look at the best new music releases of the week.  Though it was a relatively slow week, I did manage to find four tasty morsels for your listening pleasure.  Check em out...

Thunderclouds - Sia, Diplo, Labrinth, LSD

There is a new supergroup in town known as LSD, Labrinth, Sia and Diplo, and I am loving what I am hearing!  I posted their first song together, Genius, and that one slowly creeped into my inner music psyche as I know this one will.  Check out the funky yet sultry Thunderclouds...

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... 

New Friends - Maty Noyes

I've loved young singer Maty Noyes ever since she did vocals on Kygo's Stay, and every time she comes out with something new, I pay attention.  This new one is very hot!  Check out New Friends...

As always, here are some honorable mentions worth checking out as well.  Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for next week's New Music Fridays...

Underwater - RUFUS DU SOL

Freak Me - Ciara, Tekno

Animal - Troye Sivan

FEVER - Elly Duhe

Do You Think About Me - Captain Cuts, Zookeper, Georgia Ku

Bad Boy - Red Velvet

Capricorn - Elderbrook

Song of the Day - Ex's and Oh's - Elle King

Though this song's been around for awhile, I just caught wind of this hip, rockabilly jam that's a logically retro contemporary of Miss Meghan Trainor, only slightly less campy and a lil more rock. Btw, love the video...
