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

Hump Day Song of the Day - Genius - Sia, Diplo, Labrinth

Here's a hot new jam for your Hump Day with a trio presented as LSD, Labrinth, Sia, & Diplo.  Check out Genius...

Song of the Day - Fragile - Kygo, featuring Labrinth

Crazy to think that a man cannot hurt

Love takes its toll every time it don't work, yeah

One door closes and another opens

But it's hard to let go when your heart's broken

I give you my trust, can you give me your word?

Come take my heart of glass

And give me your love

I hope you'll still be there

To pick the pieces up

Cause baby I'm fragile, fragile, fragile

Cause baby I'm fragile, fragile, fragile

Oh man, what a treat these past couple of weeks have been!  After seemingly endless months of boring, unoriginal music, suddenly a bounty of great great new stuff is coming along and it's all from new artists who I hope find success with these songs.  The tracks I've posted in the past few days are unprecedented in their value to me as a music lover, and I find myself listening to all of them (and a couple more that will be forthcoming!) over and over and over.  Case in point: today's gem...

Norwegian deejay/songwriter/producer has been on my radar screen, but until now not as a favorite artist, but one who've I've jammed to over the past year or so.  This one, one of his newest, features a brilliant, soulful vocalist named Labrinth, and the tune is as soulful as it is beautiful.  Quality stuff here!  Check out Fragile...
