A day after releasing her highly anticipated new album, former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland has released a bonus track for fans around the world to enjoy.

Assisted with some added vocals courtesy of Pharrell Williams, “Feet To The Fire” is the kind of upbeat pop track that only Rowland can deliver. It’s as catchy as anything on radio, but production wise exists in a whole different realm, and very few people work as well with the kind of instrumentation presented on this track as Rowland. It may not be a hit, but it’s definitely bound to be one of your favorite tracks this summer. You can stream “Feet To The Fire” below.

Rowland’s new album, Talk a Good Game, is available now wherever music is sold. Continue reading ‘Kelly Rowland Streams “Feet To The Fire”’

When not assisting the biggest names in music with his production magic, Pharrell Williams has been spending his time as of late recording a wealth of new music. His hit with Daft Punk (the inescapable “Get Lucky”) is still dominating at radio, and if the pop gods have any sense of good music his Despicable Me 2 contribution “Happy” will soon follow.

Though Bruno Mars brought back the 70s soul pop, few have truly tapped into the sound’s potential to bring people together in a joyous celebration of life. I’m not talking about disco or anything like, but rather the kind of music that is not only catchy, but also positive all round. You don’t have to be having a bad day to relate, nor do you need to be in the midst of club night. “Happy” is a song for everyday, and it’s going to be stuck in your head before you know it. Click below to enjoy “Happy.”

The soundtrack for Despicable Me 2 hits stores next week. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Happy.” Continue reading ‘Pharrell Releases “Happy” Lyric Video’

St. Louis native Nelly is back in headlines this morning with the release of his latest single, “Get Like Me.”

Featuring verses from Pharrell and YMCMB queen Nicki Minaj, “Get Like Me” is the kind of track made for late nights in a club that is far too hot for anyone’s comfort. Your sweaty, the people around you are sweaty, but the music is loud and you don’t have plans until tomorrow afternoon. Cut loose for awhile today and spin this track as loud as you possibly can. You can find the HQ stream at the end of this post.

For those wondering, “Get Like Me” is indeed a sign that a new album from Nelly is headed our way soon. A new album titled Mo should hit stores sometime this fall. Stay tuned for a more specific date to be revealed in the weeks ahead. Continue reading ‘Nelly Debuts “Get Like Me”’

Up and coming rapper T Mills continue his rise to the top this morning with the release of a brand new single entitled, “Bad Investment.”

The first new material to surface from T Mills in 2013, “Bad Investment” features the young emcee partnering with fellow newcomer Troy Nōka. The track has a relaxed beat, but when the verses kick in so does the pulse of the track, and Mills enters to a thick drum and bass combo that’s quite intoxicating. The hook has a near-whisper like appeal to it, but I don’t think the sense of sexiness that was planned is exactly what comes across. Nōka does fine in his guest slot, but it’d be fine without him as well. You can stream “Bad Investment” below.

No word yet on T Mills next album/mixtape, but consider it has been about a year since the last one surface it’s likely another joint will come our way soon. Stay tuned. Continue reading ‘T Mills Debuts “Bad Investment”’

Indie pop is one of the fiercest markets to break into right now, but somehow rising pop act MØ continues to gain traction with music fans and industry heads alike. Maybe its her angelic voice, or perhaps her jubilent spirit, but whatever it is there seems to be no slowing the MØ machine now that is in motion.

This morning, MØ took to her official YouTube to release a music video for “Waste Of Time.” The song is a fitting single, bursting with catchiness and originality, but I think many mainstream music fans might find its instrumentation a bit off the beaten path. Regardless, MØ has crafted a hilarious (not too related) visual accompaniment that will entertain even if the song does not. You can view the video below.

Superstar producer Hit-Boy took a career turn towards rapping with the 2011 release of “Jay-Z Interview Pt 1,” and in 2013 he returns with “Pt II” in his epic tale.

Every great rapper needs one (or more) origin tracks. This material is how fans connect with artists who otherwise live luxurious lives after they’ve gotten beyond a point of wealth the rest of us will ever know. The “Jay-Z Interview” series is Hit-Boy’s attempt to leave his legacy on tape, and the latest installment is as good, if not tighter, than the original. Here fans learn about the last 18 months in the rapper’s life, and the visual accompaniment helps further drive home the point he’s living a life that could easily be envied. You can view the video below.

Hit-Boy has yet to announce a second mixtape, but the release of “Interview Pt II” gives us hope for the future. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Jay Interview Pt II.”

Pop rock titans The Maine have released a black and white music video for their Halloween Forever ballad “These Four Words.”

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when it seems the biggest problem between two people is the notion they’re not meant to be with one another. That appears to be what we find in “These Four Words,” as viewers watch a couple on the edge of a complete meltdown live through one of the most depressingly awkward mornings of their life. Waking up feeling like there is a stranger beside you is something no one wants, and the pain of that realization is beautifully captured in this video. You can view the clip below.

Halloween Forever hit stores this week. If you dig “These Four Words,” I highly recommend you check it out at our earliest convenience. Continue reading ‘The Maine Release “These Four Words” Video’
