Taking a step away from my COVID19 Quarantine Playlist to share this beautiful, multi-dimensional song. It's really worth a listen for the melancholic lows and the uplifting highs. It's my favorite type of song. Here's Galantis...
I know things have been crazy these past few weeks and I think it's going to get even crazier in the coming weeks. Though not everyone is taking this coronavirus seriously enough, there are plenty of others who are taking it too seriously. As for me, I'm just going to go with the flow, stay as safe as I can, and have a little faith that in the end its all going to be alright. Fingers crossed!
It's Black Friday and pretty much the whole world (except those in retail! Boo!) gets to rest after a long day of eating and thanks. Here's a fun song from the recent past for your Friday, which does have a little bit of a connection for me to this weekend thanks to a little serenading I did to a bunch of kids once upon a Thanksgiving. Anyway, click play and try not to dance or smile. Here's Peanut Butter Jelly...
We've got an interesting collaboration on tap for today as Swedish production team Galantis teams up with the legendary Dolly Parton and Dutch rapper/singer Mr. Probz on this uplifting and light-hearted dance tune. Check out Faith...
Good morning and Happy Saturday! I almost always love everything Swiss dance masters Galantis put out, and this one took me awhile, but the groovy neo-disco sounds eventually got me. Check out Emoji...
Here's a fresh new track from those crazy and fun Swedish electronica duo Galantis. This one features MAX and is a frenzied disco-ish jam that's perfect for summertime listening. Check out Satisfied...
This will be the last New Music Fridays for a couple of weeks as I jet off to Switzerland for a much needed vacation. Though there weren't many songs I bookmarked for the week, the ones I did are all fantastic, so check em out...
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...
Only Love - Mary J. Blige
In the week's nicest surprise, Mary J. Blige is back with a new song and she sounds as good as ever. Only Love is an up tempo, funky dance gem and I am loving it! Check it out...
Sun In Our Eyes - MO, Diplo
Danish singer MO, whose voice is perfect for pop/dance music, has released a new song together with superstar deejay/producer Diplo and it is a winner! The tune is from the singer's upcoming sophomore album due out in October. Check out Sun In Our Eyes...
Talk Later - The Vamps
The Vamps have just released their third album, Night and Day, and the newest single is like much of what they do, a pleasant pop/rock tune that's catchy and very likable. Check out Talk Later...
Erase - FRND, Lights
Andrew Goldstein, operating under the pseudonym FRND, has reworked a previous recording of his with the help of singer Lights, and the results are sublime! Check out the easy breezy Erase...
As always, here are some honorable mentions for you to check out as well...
Hello and welcome back to John's Music World New Music Fridays. What a stellar week this is in new music. I've bookmarked no less than fifteen hot new tracks to my Current playlist and though I won't speak of them all, I will give them mention. Here we go...
What Lovers Do - Maroon 5, featuring SZA
I've never been a big fan of Adam Levine & Co., but I am sold on this fresh, R&B sound. The song is sweet and easy on the ears and for me to have downloaded it, you know it's good. Check it out...
If I'm Lucky - Jason Derulo
I really dig Jason Derulo's sound, whether he's wantin you to want him or he's swalla la la la-ing, he always gets me moving. This new one is more middle of the road and a little more mid tempo, but funky and very smooth. Check it out...
So Am I - Ty Dolla $ign, featuring Damian Marley & Skrillex
Ty Dolla $ign is another artist I never would have imagined having as a lead performer in my playlist, but this reggae twinged track has got me loving him right now. Take a listen...
Selfish Love - Jessie Ware
This sultry, jazzy song is absolutely, groovingly awesome! One of my favorite tracks of the week. Check it out...
It all started with broken heart...
Girls on Boys - Galantis, featuring ROZES
I've been following Swedish production duo Galantis for awhile now, and though most of the stuff I've heard from them has been kinda Euro silly (but fun...remember Peanut Butter Jelly or No Money?), this one is way more mainstream. With sweet vocals and a really nice backbeat, this one will be in my listening playlist for a long time to come. Check it out...
Crybaby - Paloma Faith
Retro singer Paloma Faith has just released a new song from her upcoming fourth studio album, The Architect, and it is downright sweet! I could definitely see this being a big hit, especially on Adult Contemporary charts. Take a listen...
Obvious - Eden Prince, Cassie
Finally, a dance tune I can sink my teeth into! Though this one is somewhat chill, it's got a nice, bass-y dance beat in between the soft vocals. Though I've never heard of this artist, I am ready to check out some more of his work. Have a listen to Obvious...
Truly, what a week! The songs I've shared here are varied in style and genre and they're all great in their own way. Ah, my Current playlist is getting jammed! Like I said above, this was not all of the nice new tunes this week, only the best of the best. Here are some honorable mentions that are also worth a listen:
Here's a bit of Euro pop dance stuff for you. It's from Swedish production team Galantis and you may know them from their previous hit Peanut Butter Jelly. Yeah, this one's as silly as that one was, but kinda catchy and fun, too! Check out No Money...
Oh here's one I've been wanting to post for awhile, but haven't...until now. It's one of those silly dance/party tunes that are kind of silly, but oh so much fun. Think LMFAO, Venga Boys, etc... If you haven't heard Peanut Butter Jelly yet, then you must press play...and jam out!
