Song of the Day - Hold On Tight - R3HAB, Conor Maynard

Here is a beautiful pop ballad by two of my favorite artists from across the Pond, and it's got a very good message for all of us.  We got this!

Song of the Day - Flames - R3HAB, Zayn, Jungleboi

I absolutely love this collaboration with Zayn and R3HAB.  Dramatic and dance-able, this one's really grown on me.  Check out Flames...

Song of the Day - Hold On Tight - R3HAB, Conor Maynard

The first stop on the Europe trip is Amsterdam, and so here's this Dutch deejay/producer, R3HAB, teaming up not too long ago with a very talented British crooner named Conor Maynard.  Check out the beautiful Hold On Tight...

Song of the Day - Hold On Tight - R3HAB, Conor Maynard

I've been really liking Dutch deejay/producer R3HAB's stuff for awhile now.  His music has a quality about it that's soft and somewhat chill, but very unique (See Lullaby and The Wave).   His latest is just as good, featuring British crooner Conor Maynard, Hold On Tight is super sweet!  Check it out...

Song of the Day - The Wave - R3HAB, Lia Marie Johnson

It was just a couple of weeks ago that I posted a nice house jam, Lullaby, by Dutch deejay/producer R3HAB.  Well now here's another gem that's more chill than house.  The Wave does have it's uplifting moments, most notably at the accompanying beats to deep-voiced Lia Marie Johnson's vocals at the chorus.  Otherwise, the track's got a nice, easy-breezy chill vibe to it.  One of my favorite new music tracks of the year so far!  Check out The Wave...

Song of the Day - Lullaby - R3HAB, Mike Williams

Throwing in a bit of newish house music for your Tuesday, courtesy of Dutch deejay/producers R3HAB and Mike Williams.  With an unknown singer providing some pretty nice, soft vocals set to down tempo verses and crescendo house beats, this one's a Saturday night dance floor filler.  Check out Lullaby... 

New Music Fridays, February 9th, 2018 - Five Hot New Tracks

Wow, compared to last week's offerings, the songs I bookmarked this week were slim pickings.  But that doesn't mean there isn't anything to get excited about.  On the contrary, check out five great new music tracks from this week...

Nuh Ready Nuh Ready - Calvin Harris, featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR

Superstar Scottish deejay/producer Calvin Harris resurfaces after a long time this week with a funky, island jam featuring the vocals of Canadian artist PARTYNEXTDOOR.  It didn't take me too long to get this bass-heavy jam into my head.  Check out Nuh Ready Nuh Ready...

High - Whethan, Dua Lipa

From the new Fifty Shades Freed Soundtrack comes this sultry sizzler from Dua Lipa and Chicago-based producer Whethan.  Ooh, this one's smokin'!  Check it out...

Friends - Marshmello. Anne Marie

EDM producer Marshmello teams up with Brit songstress Anne-Marie on this hard-driving pop tune.  The song is a bit less dancey and more on the pop side than what we're used to from Marshmello, but Anne-Marie's strong vocals help make this a pretty catchy track.  Check out Friends...

The Wave - R3HAB, Lia Marie Johnson

Dutch deejay/producer known as R3HAB is out with his latest offering, a really nice tune.  Billboard's Kat Bein describes The Wave way better than I could:

The Wave comes on smooth, but underneath its groovy melodies is a hidden undertow of catchy goodness. Lia Marie Johnson has a voice that drips with depth and beauty. She breathes like smoke over the deep blue sound, and before you know it, you're drawn in head-to-toe, jerkin' your shoulders to the suddenly plunky synths.

Check out The Wave...

The Weight Is Gone - Albin Lee Meldau

Albin Lee Meldau is a singer from Gothenburg, Sweden and he's currently working on a new solo album due out this summer.  His new song, The Weight Is Gone, is an immediately likable piece of soulful joy, with great vocals and a nice, percussive, head bopping backbeat.  Check out The Weight Is Gone... 

New Music Fridays, January 26th, 2018

Ah, so many songs, so little time!  I tell you, it's not an easy job sometimes, choosing five hot new tracks out of the many that are released each week.  It takes several listens and sometimes the changing of minds on some of the week's selections.  I think this week that we've got a little bit of variety thrown into the realm of new music, with selections from Justin Timberlake, Sting with Shaggy, Tiesto and more.  Check it out...

Say Something - Justin Timberlake, feat. Chris Stapleton

Justin Timberlake seems to be prepping next week's Super Bowl performance by releasing his third new song in the last four weeks and so far, this one's my favorite.  Featuring country music singer Chris Stapleton, this dramatic and serious tune is a quality track!  Check out the song's accompanying video...  

The Middle - Zedd, Maren Morris, Grey

German and Russian deejay/producer Zedd shared a new collaboration with singer Maren Morris and EDM duo Grey.  The song will be a backdrop to Target's spring marketing campaign and is typical of Zedd's style, sort of easy breezy with a little bit of pop dance thrown in the mix.  Check out The Middle...

Don't Make Me Wait - Sting, feat. Shaggy

It's been a long, long time since either Sting or Shaggy have put out anything noteworthy, and now they're doing it together.  Debuting their new song, Don't Make e Wait, on last night's Grammy's, the duo gave us a taste of possibly what's to come on their forthcoming album entitled 44/876.  The song is slow and steady, with island rhythms serving as a backdrop to their different, yet complimentary voices.  Check it out...

Happy Hour (Eden Prince Mix) - Weezer

Several remixes of Weezer's Happy Hour have come out since its release in October, and this one by Eden Prince is just dreamily dancey. Check out Happy Hour...

BOOM - Tiesto, Gucci Mane, Sevenn

And speaking of remixes, here's a new version of Tiesto and Sevenn's BOOM with a little Gucci Mane thrown into the mix.  This one's an instant club shaker.  Check out BOOM...

So there you have it, five hot new music tracks for your listening pleasure.  Stay tuned for more New Music Fridays next week and in the meantime, check out this week';s honorable mentions...
