New Music Fridays, March 16th, 2018

Hello and welcome once again to New Music Fridays, even though it's Monday, lol.  I bookmarked a lot of songs this week, and it was hard to cram it down to just five, but here goes...

Everybody Hates Me - The Chainsmokers

Okay, well any new Chainsmokers' tune will almost always get attention from me.  They've been that high on my list as long as they've been around.  This time, though, I'm not a huge fan.  The boys newest track picks up on the same theme as their last two singles, Sick Boy and You Owe Me...no romantic happiness, no sweetness, just some more self-deprecating whining.  The only bright spot is that this one does carry a twinge of EDM.  Check it out and see...

Freaky Friday - Lil Dicky, Chris Brown

I have to admit that I never heard of Lil Dicky before.  Apparently he's a 30 year old comedian/rapper and he just put out his first song in over three years with R&B bad boy Chris Brown...and I love it!  The song takes its' name from the famous movie and the vid for the tune shows the two artists switching spots.  Pretty good!  Oh, and check out some of the cameos, too!  Check out Freaky Friday...

Done For Me - Charlie Puth, Kehlani

Charlie Puth follows up his highly successful, and funky, How Long with a nice collaboration featuring the likes of Oakland-based songstress Kehlani.  This one's as funky as the former, and it's full of pop smoothness, as well.  Check out Done For Me...

Answerphone - Banx & Ranx, Ella Eyre, Yxng Bane

Though there are some big names in this week's new music tracks, they aren't necessarily the best of the best.  Banx & Ranx's newest is nothing but a hip shakin' slice of pure dance pleasure.  Check out Answerphone...

Remind Me to Forget - Kygo, Miguel

Oh, two of my favorite artists together on one track!  R&B singer Miguel's voice lends itself wonderfully to Kygo's beats.  Awesome!

All in all, this was a really nice week in new music, not only the ones featured here, but for these honorable mentions, as well:

Alone - Halsey, Big Sean

Let It Be - Hayley Kyoko

Over You - Kasbo, Frida Sundemo

Alien - Sabrina Carpenter, Jonas Blue

Be Like You - Whethan, Broods

Over My Head - Echosmith

Strawberries & Cigarettes - Troye Sivan

Song of the Day - I Told You So - Miguel

I've featured R&B singer Miguel on New Music Fridays a lot over the past couple of months.  His latest album, War & Leisure, has already spawned several songs that have caught my ears, including this groovealicious one.  Check out I Told You So...

New Music Fridays, November 17th, 2017 - The Week's Freshest New Tracks

Hello and welcome again to John's World's New Music Fridays.  Like every other week ,we've got some great stuff to share so let's get right to it...

Get It Right - Diplo, feat. MO

Diplo's new Get It Right is a brand new dancey collaboration with Danish singer MO.  The tune is from an upcoming documentary, Give Me Future, which is all about Diplo's historic shows in Cuba alongside Major Lazer.  Check out this very nice tune...

The Beautiful & Damned - G-Eazy, Zoe Nash

Maybe it's my age, but I really don't find a lot to like about today's hip hop or rap music, whatever it's called these days, but here's one I can sink my teeth into.  I know why, too.  It's not the rap part of this tune that makes me move when I listen, but the raspy vocals of one Ms. Zoe Nash, whose part gives the track a really nice groove.  Check out The Beautiful & Damned...

Pineapple Skies - Miguel

I am loving R&B artist Miguel.  It seems like whenever he puts out a new tune, I am posting it here.  His latest, Pineapple Skies is a groovalicious, easy breezy, soulful jam.  Check it out...

All Night - Steve Aoki, Lauren Jauregui

On the softer side of the dance music scene comes this very likable dance jam by superstar deejay/producer Steve Aoki, featuring sweet-voiced singer Lauren Jauregui.  Check out All Night...

Obsessed - Maggie Lindemann

You might remember singer Maggie Lindemann from her spot on The Vamps' Personal.  Well, she's got a brand new track that's both dance floor and radio friendly.  Check out Obsessed...

Well, these are my picks for the best new music tracks of the week.  Stay tuned for more New Music Fridays and in the meantime check out these honorable mentions...

Back in the USA - Green Day

HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T - Fall Out Boy

shedon'tknowbutsheknows - Tove Lo

Famous - Ivy Adara

Slow - Matoma, feat. Noah Cyrus

As always, thanks for checking us out!

New Music Fridays, November 3rd, 2017 - The Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome to John's Music World's New Music Fridays.  As you all know, my favorite genre of music, hands down, is dance music and there's a lot of new beats that hit the airwaves this week.  Check out the week's hottest new tracks...

Riding Shotgun - Kygo, feat. Oliver Nelson & Bonnie Mckee

Norwegian deejay/producer has just released his newest album, Kids In Love, and just ahead of it came this sweet tune that is very radio friendly.  Check out Riding Shotgun...

Dirty Sexy Money - David Guetta & Afrojack, featuring Charli XCX and French Montana 

Superstar deejay/producer David Guetta is back with a really nice tune that hearkens back to some of the great tracks from his One Love and Nothing But the Beat records.  This time, Guetta is helped out by fellow producer Afrojack (...and some uncredited production from Skrillex.) and vocalists Charli XCX and French Montana, and the result is some good old-fashioned dance floor filler.  Check out Dirty Sexy Money...

Told You So - Miguel

R&B singer Miguel has been busy of late, dropping songs from his forthcoming album War & Leisure, and this, his latest, is a funky jam that brings to mind such funk music greats as Prince and Bruno Mars.  Check out the delightful Told You So...

raingurl - yaeji

I was instantly mesmerized by the hypnotic house beats of this late night jam.  The track is by Brooklyn-based singer yaeji, who Pitchfork calls "House Music's Most Exciting New Voice." Check out raingurl and find out why...

Something Bout Our Love - JONES

British singer/songwriter JONES has released one of my favorite tunes of the week.  Something Bout Our Love is a radio friendly tune that's very, very catchy.  Check it out...

Instruction - Jax Jones, feat. Demi Lovato, Stefflon Don, Mr. Eazi

This week has seen some really good dance music and this one is funky all the way through.  With big beats, sexy vocals and even a little bit of island flavor, this one's definitely a winner!  Check out Instruction...

So yeah, it's been a great week for new music with these selections, but there's more.  Check out these honorable mentions and as always, stay tuned for next week's New Music Fridays.

You and Me - Shallou

Santa's Coming for Us - Sia

Soon - Emeli Sandé, David East

Song of the Day - 2 Lovin' U - DJ Premier & Miguel

Here's another newly downloaded song I am loving!  It's kind of got an alternative rock feel, though it is definitely a dance tune.  I love the different "damn's" in the background at the chorus.  Fun tune! Check out 2 Lovin' U...
