New Music Fridays, December 8th, 2017 - Five of the Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome back to John's World's New Music Fridays, a weekly look at the hottest new music tracks of the week.  Let's get right down to this week's selections...

Out of My Head - Charli XCX, feat. Tove Lo, ALMA

I've wanted to like British songstress Charli XCX for a long time now, but until now I haven't heard anything stellar enough from her to sink my teeth into.  Again, till now.  This new one, featuring Tove Lo and ALMA is a pleasant, catchy song I can definitely wrap my ears around.  Check out Out of My Head...

Untouchable - Eminem

Though Eminem is admittedly a legend and his legions of fans can argue all day which of his tracks they like best, I've never really liked his stuff.  Well Em is back with some brand new stuff.  First it was the tender Walk On Water with Beyoncé a couple of weeks ago and this week finds him bringing some old school sounds to some very current lyrics.  Check out Untouchable...

Never Be the Same - Camila Cabello

Former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello has had a very productive 2017.  With a couple of hot singles previewing her just-released debut solo effort, Cabello's name has no doubt catapulted into a lot of music lovers' collective minds and her popularity will only continue to grow with tunes like this one.  Here's the sweet Never be the Same...

I Could Always - Le Youth, feat. MNDR

Here's a nice, disco-ish tune from producers Le Youth and MNDR.  Check out I Could Always...

Everyday - NVDES

...and speaking of neo-disco, here's a funked up track by LA-based production team known as NVDES.  With several nice tunes under their belt already, this is an artist that will be on my radar for a long time to come.  Check out Everyday...

Well, that's a wrap for the week.  Be sure to stay tuned to John's Music World's New Music Fridays coming soon.

Hump Day Song of the Day - shedon'tknowbutsheknows - Tove Lo

Here's an honorable mention from November 17th's New Music Fridays from Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo.  You may remember her from her 2016 hit Cool Girl or even her 2013 Habits (Stay High).  Well she is back with her third studio album, Blue Lips, and here's one of the few sexeh tunes.  Check out the hypnotic shedon'tknowbutsheknows...

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...

New Music Fridays: September 8th, 2017 - The Week's Hottest New Tracks

Hello and welcome back to John's Music World New Music Fridays.  As always, there is some great new stuff this week from the likes of Hailee Steinfeld, rapper ILoveMakonnen, Kelly Clarkson, Sam Smith and more.  Check out this week's hottest new tunes...

Let Me Go - Hailee Steinfeld, with Alesso and Florida Georgia Line

I have been loving everything actress turned singer Hailee Steinfeld has done so far, from the sweet and tender Starving to  the ultra catchy Most Girls.  This time Steinfeld's joined forces with country music duo Florida Georgia Line and Swedish deejay/producer Alesso for another irresistible pop gem.  Take a listen to this sure to be hit... 

Love - ILoveMakonnen, featuring Rae Stremmurd

Rapper ILoveMakonnen has come up with an immediately likable rock tinged tune that had me loving it from the moment I clicked play,  Check out this foot tapper...

Love So Soft - Kelly Clarkson

Oh yeah, Kelly Clarkson is back and sounding better than ever on this catchy new sexy tune from her upcoming 8th studio album, Meaning of Life.  If you're a Kelly Clarkson fan, you are gonna LOVE this one...

Too Good at Goodbyes - Sam Smith

There's one more notable comeback this week and that is by former Best New Artist Grammy Award winner Sam Smith.  The smooth British crooner has released a brand new gem from an upcoming second studio album and its as stellar as anything he's done before.  Check out the beautiful Too Good at Goodbyes...  

Up All Night - Beck

Oh man, I used to love Beck.  I absolutely wore out his 1996 record Odelay, but he completely fell off my radar since then.  When I saw this tune listed on Spotify's New Music Fridays, I was intrigued that he was still making music and checked it out.  Bottom line...he's still got it.  This one's catchy and pleasant and he just might make me a fan again.  Check out Up All Night...

Sometimes, like this week, it's difficult to come up with only five new songs to whet your appetites, so in addition to these great tracks, here are some other notable new releases:

Dusk Till Dawn - Zayn, with Sia

Disco Tits - Tove Lo

You're the Best Thing Abut Me - U2

I Just Can't - R3HAB, Quintino

Shockandawe - Miguel

Out of My Head - Loote

Song of the Day - Cool Girl - Tove Lo

Anybody remember Swedish singer Tove Lo?  Well, she struck it big here in the States a couple of years ago with the retro and ethereal Habits.  Well, you're about to get another taste of her, though this time the music is very different.  Cool Girl is a fun, dancey tune that fits more into the club scene than anything else and it is hot!  Check this one out...

Song of the Day - Habits - Tove Lo

It's Saturday, January 3rd...three days into the new year and I'm still trying to sort myself out.  Like most people, I look at the new year as a new beginning, a chance to right the wrongs and improve myself, but there's one sneaky thing that gets the best of all of us and that's habits.  We've all got our habits, don't we, and they're always so hard to break, but in order to make any sot of real change, sometimes it's necessary to break old habits.

Whenever I'm off from work and I actually have the time to do the things I should do, I fall into the same old habits I always do and I never get things done.  So, being that I have two more days to break those habits (see Auto-correcting Humanity? - Yeah!), I'm gonna listen to this song and go for it.  Wish me luck!
