New Music Fridays, February 16th, 2018 - Five Hot New Tracks

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:

Getting Over You - Lauv

Remember - Youngr

I Heard You Got Too Litt Last Night - SAINt JHN

Heart to Break - Kim Petras

Wonderchild - Hot Shade, Christian Walz

Look Back - Diplo, DRAM  

Song of the Day - Riding Solo - Jason Derulo

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes

I'm jumping in my ride, I'm heading out tonight

I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

Here's a flashback for your Saturday.  It's early Jason Derulo with a song I just love!  At's me, always ridin' solo!

New Music Fridays: September 1st, 2017 - A Great Week in New Music!

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:

Broken Machine - Nothing But Thieves

That's All - Mauwe

Staying Up - Matoma, The Vamps

Just Kids - POWERS

Love Is Alive - Louis the Child, feat. Elohim

Lambo - Maria Lynn, Steve Reece

Bad Ones - Matthew Dear, Tegan & Sarah

Hump Day Song of the Day - Swalla - Jason Derulo, feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign

Jason Derulo has just such a way with words, huh?  Lol.  Well, one of his latest, Swalla, is a perfect song for a Hump Day, of of those highly suggestive and irresistibly hypnotic songs that you can't help but move your body to.  So check it out below, and have a Happy Hump Day! 

Song of the Day - Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo

I've been starting to think gathering some of the year's top songs for my annual countdown and here's one that's sure to be in there somewhere.  This happy lil ditty's been in my head for about 24 hours now, and it's a great song to start off the weekend with.  Check out Want to Want Me....  

Song of the Day - Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo

Here's a pure pop tune by Jason Derulo that's already a big hit, and perhaps one of this summer's smashes?  Catchy, happy, dancey...sounds good to me!  Check it out...
