One day before the official first day of fall we have summer befitting midsummer.  Well, here's a sunshiney chill jam by POWERS and The Knocks that is very befitting this beautiful day.  Here's Sunshine...

New Music Fridays, September 28th, 2018

Let's get right down to business...

Honey - Robyn

Oh yes, the countdown to October 26th and Robyn's first new album in 8 years continues with the release of another song, Honey.  Whereas the first one, Missing U, is typically Robyn, sounding like any of the songs off Body Talk, Honey is a little softer, mellower, but still, Oh so good!  Check it out...

Moves - Olly Murs, Snoop Dogg

One of my favorite new tunes of the week is this very likable track from British recording artist Olly Murs, featuring none other than Snoop Dogg. Check out Moves...

Brazilian Soul - The Knocks, Sofi Tukker

Two of my current favorite dance acts get together for some smooth, pulsating rhythms

and a nice, chill vibe.  Check out Brazilian Soul...

Behave - Benjamin Ingrosso

Swedish singer Benjamin Ingrosso's debut album is out, and this tune from that album is really sweet!  Check out Behave...

One by One - Rationale

British artist Rationale releases this nice, smooth R&B gem that's very easy on the ears.  Check out One by One...

This week's honorable mentions:

Tied Up - Major Lazer, Mr. Eazi, RAYE, Jake Gosling

123 - Jess Glynne

One More - Yaeji

Back to School Song of the Day - Sunshine - The Knocks (Remix)

Picking up where I left off last night on John's World, today is the start of another school year, my 16th, and I am excited for what the future will bring.  Listening to the remix of The Knocks' Sunshine helps me see the sunshine ahead, and hopefully after a listen you will too!  Here's to more times like these...

 

Here's Sunshine...

Best of 2017 Song of the Day - Best Friend - Sofi Tukker, feat. NERVO, The Knocks, Alisa Ueno

I've been working on my lists for best dance song, pop songs and albums from 2017 and so I'll be featuring a few in this week's Song of the Day posts.  Here's an artist that has had a very big 2017.  I remember first discovering and posting their song Johny back in January.  I thought it was very different, very avante garde retro Euro.  I didn't think much more about the New York-based duo until the summer, when I first came across their hi-energy, fast and frenzied F**k They.  I became a bona fide fan.

The duo's next single was yet another funky, high energy track that became very-well known for its spot in the commercial for Apple's new iPhone x.  For me, it's one of the best dance hits of the year.  Check out Best Friend...

Song of the Day - House Party - The Knocks

It's Monday and we've got the whole week ahead of us....boo!  I think we should all pretend we've got a house party to go to tonight.  What do you think?  Here's a perfect little neo-disco jam I spotlighted a few weeks back that's perfect for the occasion.  Enjoy!

New Music Fridays, October 13th, 2017 - Three New Hot Tracks

I apologize for the late posting of this week's best new music, but my pc and I haven't had too much time together these past couple of days.  Though I did manage to bookmark several new tunes, there are only three new tracks that I thought were noteworthy, so take a look and a listen...

Just Like You - Louis Tomlinson

Former One Directioner Louis Tomlinson is back with another single, this one a bit of a surprise, and it's a nice follow-up to his first solo single, Back to You.   Just Like You is a sweet, mid-tempo ballad that's said to be influenced by Arctic Monkeys.  Check it out...

Personal - The Vamps, feat. Maggie Lindemann

British pop rockers The Vamps are back with a brand new single featuring singer Maggie Lindenmann and it's got a really nice sound.  I tell you, if you don't know this band then you should definitely check them out.  They're slowly, but steadily building up a nice array of music in their catalog that's definitely got universal appeal.  Unfortunately there's no video yet for the tune, nor audio track, so you should hop right on over to Spotify and check it out.

House Party - The Knocks & Captain Cuts

Okay, so other than the two previously mentioned tunes by more popular artists, here's one from a duo I haven't heard much from before.  The Knocks have teamed up with production team Captain Cuts for this funky, jammy House Party.  Oh, the funky beats!  The head thumping vocals!  Love this one...

Song of the Day - Trouble - The Knocks

Here's a recent discovery for your Saturday.  The Knocks' Trouble is an easy breezy type of chill/dance tune that is very easy on the ears.  Check it out...
