5 TRACKS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #4

Here's this weeks top 5 tunes guys- hope you enjoy!

1. Armand Van Helden & Steve Aoki- 'Brrrat'

The American dance magician is back... with a BANG. This tune is gonna be absolutely massive on the club scene- perfect for a Saturday-night rave. Enjoy! (I know you will)




2. White Lies- 'Bigger Than Us'

Such an tune from the London band- got a really epic feel about it. Look out for their new album 'Ritual' coming out in January.




3. Lykke Li- 'Get Some'

If you've not heard of Lykke you should definitely check her out. The Swedish singer has been around for a couple of years now with her alternative pop rock sound. This is her new single and it's available now.




4. Alicia Keys- 'Wait Til You See My Smile'

This hasn't really got any airplay but it is a really nice song from the new mum. Let's hope we hear more of her on our airways soon. The single's out now.




5. Usher- 'More' (RedOne Remix)

I'm sorry, I know he's a bit rubbish live, but there is no doubting, this is such a tune. Can't stop myself dancing and singing to it when it comes on the radio. That guy know's how to make a beat!

JAMIE WOON'S MAKING WAVES...

I first told you about soulful singer Jamie Woon waaaaayyyy back in October when he was included in my very first '5 songs you have to hear this week' feature and he is starting to get noticed!

This week, uber-cool magazine iD have done and interview with him.

Looking forward to more big things to come from the Woonster!

FIVE SONGS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #3

Sorry for my absence last week- not having internet made blogging VERY hard! But I'm BACK and have some massive tunes as my top five this week...


1. Danny Byrd- 'We Can Have It All' (Sigma Remix)

This song was an absolute tune to begin with, but the remix has made it even better. Top track of the week for sure...




2. Katy B (Feat. Ms Dynamite)- 'Lights On'

Nearly made this my top tune, but loving that Danny Byrd song just too much! This is such a good tune though, simple but catchy. When I first listened to it I wasn't sure, but it's deffo a grower so make sure you keep listening. Good to see Ms Dynamite back on the circuit too.




3. Rihanna (Feat. David Guetta)- 'Who's That Chick?'

I Can't help but love everything Rihanna does, and I'm especially liking this new dance route she's taken. Nice to see her with everyone's favourite floppy-haired DJ too Mr Guetta himself.





3. Professor Green (Feat. Maverick Sabre)- Jungle

As soon as I listened to Pro's album, I loved this track instantly, so I'm really pleased he's decided to release it as a track. The video's worth a look too. Also, check out the guy singing on the track, Maverick Sabre- you'll deffo rate him if you like Mr Green




5. Wretch 32 (Feat. L.)- 'Traktor'

This is one for all you grime fans- although weirdly it has a middle section with piano in it (?) But yeh, still a good tune from the North Londoner.

FIVE SONGS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #2

Okay, so I started the 'five songs to hear this week feature' last week (CLICK HERE if you missed it) to bring you my favourite tracks that are around at the moment.

Hopefully you all will like them to, and you never know, you might find yourself with a new favourite track...


1. Far East Movement- 'G6'

If you've seen my previous post, you'll know that I am really rating these guys and definitely think they're gonna do big things over here. If you download one song this week, make sure it's this one- SUCH a tune.




2. Alexis Jordan- 'Happiness'

The 18-year-old is Roc Nation's newest signing and they promise big things from her. She definitely does no wrong with this gorgeous track...




3. Will.i.am feat. Nicki Minaj & Cheryl Cole- 'Check It Out'

This track is worth checking out (no pun intended) even if it's just for the video... Featuring America's 'ghetto Barbie' Nicki Minaj and Cheryl Cole, it's got all the canny digital crafts we now expect from Mr i.am- definitely a grower...




4. Mark Ronson & The Business INTL feat. Boy George- Somebody To Love Me

I never thought I'd hear myself saying I really like a song by Boy George in the year 2010, but I must admit I really do... Mark Ronson's definitely onto a winner with the third release from his brilliant new album 'The Record Collection'- I approve!




5. Tim Berg- Seek Bromance

This track's been out for a little while now, but still manages to captivate me everytime I listen to it. There's just something about it's laidback sound that puts me in a great mood. Listen and reminisce of sunny summer days, ahhh...

ONES TO WATCH: FAR EAST MOVEMENT

If you're into Black Eyed Peas, then you should deffo check out Far East Movement.

They're four asian guys from LA who are working the peas-esque digital sound- and doing it in a big way.

My favourite is the delicious 'G6' which is about to be released here on Sunday- check it out below...

You may also recognise their track 'Girls On The Dancefloor' which featured in Russell Brands' hit movie 'Get Him To The Greek.'

I reckon these lot are gonna be big over here- check out the rest of their tracks on their Myspace page by CLICKING HERE to see if you agree...

REMIX OF THE WEEK...

CHERYL COLE SET TO WORK WITH RIHANNA

Word through the grapevine is that Cheryl Cole are Rihanna are set to collaborate together at some point in the next year...

The partnering would be a massive achievement for the Geordie star who is trying to 'crack America' in the hope of getting the X-Factor gig overseas as well as here.

Cheryl was obviously delighted with the news , saying:

"I couldn't believe it when I heard that Rihanna wanted to work with me. When I found out she wanted to collaborate, I got goosebumps all over. We're definitely going to do something next year, I'm totally up for it."

Of course she is- who in their right mind would turn Rihanna down?
