Song of the Day - Wherever You Go - Jonas Blue, featuring Jessie Reyez, Juan Magan

New Music Fridays, May 25th, 2018

Other than the release of Shawn Mendes' new album. this week's crop of new music is mostly from artists not usually found on this posting.  I only chose four songs to share, but there are lots of honorable mentions below, so check it out...

Nervous - Shawn Mendes

The big story of the week is the release of Shawn Mendes' eponymous third studio album, and I would think that anyone who pays attention to pop music would say that the young impresario is firing on all cylinders.  Yes, Mr. Mendes has the keenest of sensibilities when it comes to creating songs with universal appeal, and the album will not disappoint.  One of my favorites from the new set is this catchy and cute song about, well, being nervous at meeting somebody new.  Check out Nervous...

Bracelet - Lauv

Now I've had my eye, and ear, on American singer Lauv ever since he provided guest vocals on DJ Snake's A Different Way.  He's been releasing a few songs lately, all of which I've sadly neglected to share, and his newest, Bracelet, shows exactly why you should check him out.  Have a listen...

Rise - Jonas Blue, Jack & Jack

British deejay/producer Jonas Blue has always made pleasant, pop-oriented dance tunes and his latest, with pop duo Jack & Jack, is more of the same.  Check out Rise...

Toast to our Differences - Rudimental, Shungudzo, Protoje, Hak Baker

British music makers Rudimental have released a song with Shungudzo, Protoje, and Hak Baker that celebrates diversity in a world music jam that's simply awesome.  Check out Toast to our Differences...

New Music Fridays, January 5th, 2018 - New Tracks by JT, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and More

Well the first week of 2018 in new music has already been monumental, with new efforts by Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and more.  Let's take a look...

Filthy - Justin Timberlake

Of course, the biggest news in new music this week is the always highly anticipated return of Justin Timberlake to the scene.  The 36 year old singer released a new song and video for Filthy, a lead single to what will be his 4th studio album, Man of the Woods.  Bottom line: the song's got a steady, mid-tempo vibe that's funky, as you might expect.  It's not as catchy as Timberlake's previous effort, Can't Stop the Feeling, but it's definitely gonna grow on me.  Though Entertainment Weekly's Eric Renner Brown hated it, I, for a change, think it's kind of exciting!  Judge for yourself as you take a look and listen at the futuristic and fun accompanying video for Filthy...

All the Stars - Kendrick Lamar, SZA

The lead single to the soundtrack of Marvel's upcoming Black Panter film is a collaboration between rapper du jour Kendrick Lamar and R&B singer SZA.  Now I don't often cover rap/hip-hop tunes, but Lamar is exceptional and this track is quality.  Check out All the Stars...

Finesse - Bruno Mars, Cardi B

Anyone who was around back in the early 90's will immediately recognize the set for Bruno Mars and Cardi B's new video for Finesse, and the end of the video dedication gives proper testament to that great sketch comedy show, In Living Color.  Of course, as with any Bruno Mars song, this one's funky and cool, but for me, and former fly girl Jennifer Lopez, the video is da bomb!  Check out Finesse...

For You - Liam Payne, Rita Ora

Two of my favorite new singers have come together for a song from the upcoming Fifty Shades Freed movie.  For You is a sweet duet that puts together two of music's brightest young voices.  What a nice, dramatic tune!  Check it out...

Heart's Ain't Gonna Lie - Arlissa, Jonas Blue

Jonas Blue is starting the new year off right with a reworking of British singer Arlissa's neew promotional single, Heart's Ain't Gonna Lie.  There's no real good video or audio for this sweet pop tune, but trust me, it's good!  

B.A.M. - Schilly

Here's another funky, funky tune that well worth a listen.  It's really too bad that this one isn't around the Internet either!   As always, though, you can check out the track on Spotify.

Song of the Day - By Your Side - Jonas Blue, featuring Raye

Here's another tune from my in-progress countdown of 2016's best dance tunes.  It's British deejay/producer Jonas Blue and a very Rihanna-ish singer on one hot pop/dance tune.  Check out By Your Side...

Song of the Day - Perfect Strangers - Jonas Blue, feat. J.P. Cooper

Here's a tune by British producer Jonas Blue, with guest vocals from J.P. Cooper, that I just discovered recently.  I loved it the first time I heard it for it's island feel and it's uplifting interludes. It is so worth a listen, so check out Perfect Strangers...
