New Music Fridays, September 14th, 2018 - Much Better!

Much better!  After last week's less than stellar new music releases, we've got quite a few new and noteworthy songs in the lineup this week.  Our spotlight includes new tracks by David Guetta, with Bebe Rexha and J. Balvin, Don Diablo with Emeli Sandé and Gucci Mane, new Lana Del Rey, Mariah Carey and more, so check it out...

Say My Name - David Guetta, Bebe Rexha J. Balvin

David Guetta is known for his work with the hottest acts in the music scene throughout his career, and he does it again on a hot new track with the hot and sexy Bebe Rexha and celebrated reggaeton maestro J.Balvin.  Check out a preview snippet of Say My Name... 

Mariner's Apartment Complex - Lana Del Ray

Independent sensation Lana Del Rey is back with a new gem, the first from a forthcoming follow-up to 2017's Lust For Life.  The song is vintage Lana, slow and sultry.  Check out Mariner's Apartment Complex...  

Survive - Don Diablo, Emeli Sandé, Gucci Mane

One of my favorite tracks out of this week's crop is this well-rounded dance masterpiece by Don Diablo, featuring the angelic and hypnotic voices of Emeli Sandé and Gucci Mane, respectively.  Check out Survive...

Stole Your Car - Charlotte Lawrence

Up and coming indie singer Charlotte Lawrence has put out a song that's very deserving of a spotlight.  Stole Your Car is a combination of slower, downbeat verses and some smooth and satisfying up tempo melodies at the chorus.  Check it out right here... 

Dose - Ciara

R&B singer Ciara is back with the second single from her forthcoming 7th studio album and it is a high energy jam, replete with hot beats and even hotter horns.  Check out Dose...

I am certainly looking forward to learning these songs even more in the next few days, but there's even more noteworthy stuff in our honorable mentions.  Check it out...

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...
