MUSIC FOR ALL

AMAZING.

The Chainsmokers once again! I think I must have posted them about them a week ago or something, but they've come out with a new remix, and I love it, as always, so I'm posting again. For those of you who don't know, the Chainsmokers are a DJ group of two guys who continue to smash it single after single. The original of this song ("Take Me Home" by Cash Cash) is also incredibly catchy and I hope you check it out. Cash Cash is an pop/EDM band with lead singer Bebe Rexha, who was the lead singer of Black Cards. This song has proved itself worthy in several ways - everyone listen! 

Smallpools is pretty well know for their song "Dreaming," and "Mason Jar" is just as great. Their entire EP is fun and worthy of the summer, and definitely something to plug in during a joyride. It's indie pop, which is always a fun genre to get into, so take a look! 

'Youth Allowance' is the first single from Northeast Party House's debut album, due early 2014. They've got a really british (except I think they're aussies) alternative-dance-rock theme going so far, which I really hope we see more of. All their music is full of energy and most definitely worth a listen. 

It's hard to think strait when there are songs out there like this one. The vocals alone are truly amazing, but adding a classical and very beautiful backing really puts the cherry on top. This song is all rise. It just gets more and more intense and really your heart will stop by the end. 

Nice, sweet little laid back tune here. Great lyrics, and it's very simple and down that alternative singer-songwriter ally. It's a nice blend of instruments as well, which is always going to be a challenge for any artist, and I will continue to be impressed by anyone who can put so many tracks together in one song. I love this one! 

I hope you've all heard of Chance The Rapper by now. He's got acid rap covered and it truly is a new and refreshing take on rap. In this song in particular, the way his voice blends with the female vocalist in the background and the beats - really impressive. I'd say watch out for him, he's up and coming for sure. 

So my favorite song by Metric is "Lost Kitten," but the acoustic version of "Help I'm Alive" is really interesting compared to the original version, and I love it! Metric really just plays around with different types of electronic, but never really sways from that and so its really cool to see them do an acoustic EP. This was a while back, but I'm only just catching up on my Metric. They're an incredible band! 

You all may have heard of Lykke from her various features on television! (Her songs are often in commercials and such.) This is a voice that is absolutely one of a kind. She's really playing with a very easy going, slightly jazzy and electronic beat, and it's pretty simple, but comes out great. "Little Bit" is from 2007 or something like that, but great nonetheless, and most definitely worth your attention. 

With an amazing voice and fantastic lyrics, Yuna is putting all the indie-pop fanatics into a trance. She's got a colorful way of looking at a song, and really makes her songs something you just stop for. She's sort of paved her own way, what with writing her own songs and grabbing our attention all the way from Malaysia, which is most definitely worth notice. I really can't get enough of her, and if you haven't already heard of her, I suggest you look her up. 

Bit of a throwback! It's a classic, and it came on shuffle, so I decided to post it. To any of our youngsters who need some classic rock education - take a listen! It's the strokes!  

This song is so fun and catchy. Really bringing us back to that crappy rock stage from 2002, but of course you have some pearls in every bunch. And this is from 2009 so... I hope you all take a listen because the lyrics are great and I can't say I'm not singing along to it right now! 

Great song here! Very alternative rock feel to it. It's smooth and haunting, with a lot of ethereal and also some synth-pop in there. I don't know, to me it's very theatric and it really grabs your attention. Love it! 

So I'm an avid Daughter fan and usually I don't like people messing with them, but The Chainsmokers are really killing it with this. They are just killing it in general. I'm sure I've posted something of theirs before, but they deserve a huge applause. Really great remixes and DJing coming from their end, I suggest you take a look. 

Little tribute to JJ Cale who just passed away. Cocaine is a classic, and who doesn't love a song about drugs really. Our thoughts are with him. 

This song is well deserving of a listen. Took me ages to find it (I heard it a week or so ago and forgot to bookmark it!) It's very acoustic but then there's this very intense classical feel to it - and fantastic lyrics too. I've never heard a song that can mix a very natural sound with something so intense and then add electronics, and still have me obsessed with it after a week. Everyone listen!
