Song of the Day - Raging - Kygo, featuring Kodaline


Here's another great new tune from Norwegian deejay/producer Kygo. The last tune of his I posted, Fragile, was a gem and at the time listed as a non-album single, but in the weeks since we now know that Cloud Nine, his first full studio album, will be released on May 13th.  This track is as beautifully produced as the last one and is definitely worthy of a listen or two, or three, or four...

Here's a nice, 1998 freestyle-ish tune I had totally forgotten about until I heard it the other night at a party.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Song of the Day - Suavamente (NYC Remix) - Elvis Crespo


kidzworld

Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day marking the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.  The anniversary is really a minor day of note in Mexico, but in the past couple of decades it has become the Mexican version of St. Patrick's Day here in the States,  In other words, it's just another excuse to drink beer whilst celebrating Mexican culture (Dos Equis anyone?).  I don't really know any Mexican music, but I have been known to listen to Latin music in general here and there, but I figured I'd post at least a Spanish song to commemorate the day.  Here's an infectious dance number from 1998.  It's the nasally-voiced Elvis Crespo and his hip-shaking, Spanglish remix of Suavemente...

Song of the Day - Ocean Drive - Duke Dumont


Here's a repost of one of my favorite tunes to come out in the past few months.  The song would have fit as well back in the 80's as it does today.  Check out Duke Dumont's Ocean Drive...

Song of the Day - Just Like Fire - P!nk


Well, P!nk's brand new Just Like Fire single, from the motion picture, Alice Through the Looking Glass, is a hit.  Billboard reports that the song, her first splash onto the music scene since The Truth About Love album finished its run, debuted at #42 on its Hot 100 chart last week.  Not quite as smoking hot as I might have expected, but yeah, the tune is a hit.  We shall see.  In the meantime, check out Just Like Fire...

Song of the Day - Phone Down - Erykah Badu


I don't know why I don't know more of Erykah Badu's stuff.  Anything I've ever heard from her is just so....cool!  Her silky smooth voice is always soothing, her lyrics are always spot on, and the music, oh the music, is such good vibes!  My pal Sonny and I had what we call a Music Nerd Night last Thursday and she played some Erykah in the car.  Something bout this cell phone album.  Anyway, here's a mesmerizing cut...

Song of the Day - Middle - DJ Snake, featuring Bipolar Sunshine


Today's song, the latest by French producer DJ Snake, is a multi-faceted gem,  Featuring nice, tender vocals from British singer Bipolar Sunshine, Middle is a song of regret, yet with a confidence that everything's going to work out.  Musically, the verses play out like a sad opus while the music in between is like the sunshine of hope. Nicely produced track!  Check out Middle...
