5 TRACK YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #8

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in posts- been a busy girl what with it being my birthday and all! :D But here are this weeks recommendations, and my it is a good selection if I do say so myself! So sit, click and enjoy and have fun in this beautiful sunshine we're getting.
Lots of love x

1. Cee-Loo Green- 'Bright Lights Bigger City'
OH EM GEE this is a good track. If there was ever a song that would cheer you up whatever mood your in, then this is it- making you feel all happy and sunny from the first few beats. Fits perfectly with this beautiful weather we're having too as it's totally a track you'll be blasting out your car window. I can't stop listening, and I know you won't too...



2. Katy B- 'Broken Record'
I just can't help loving everything this girl does. After 'Katy On a Mission' and 'Lights On', she's back with this tune which is just as chilled and classy- mixing her mellow vocals against catchy beats. This lady can do no wrong!



3. Birdy- 'Skinny Love'
This is a beautiful cover of Bon Iver's track 'Skinny Love' by the very talented 14-year-old 'Birdy'- her sweet vocals accompanied by just a piano, this is simply gorgeous.



4. Cassius- 'Love You So'
It's been out for a while, but it's just hit my radar again. I thought I'd share seeing as it is simply the perfect track to get you in the mood for a crazy summer of partying, or whatever you're up to. Big beats, big sound, big song.



5. Snoop Dogg- 'Sweat' (David Guetta Remix)
Snoop is back, and he's bringing his music into the new era- swapping old skl R'n'B for club dance- and who better to go to than everyone's favourite hitmaker Guetta. It may not be anything ground-breaking, but I bet you would 'loose your shit' if it came through the speaker at the club. Good work Davey boy.

JESSIE J- LIVE LOUNGE

In case you missed Jessie J in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, or you just wanted another little listen. Loving this girl!

5 TRACKS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #7

This weeks best tracks- right here, right now...

1. The Streets- 'Going Through Hell'
Mike Skinner is BACK and doing what he does best on the first single from the latest (and apparently last) Streets album that was released earlier this month. There may be more contenders now, but Mike will always been one of the best. If you haven't got this already- download now!






2. SBTRKT- 'Living Like I Do' (Feat. Sampha)
If you are looking for a laidback, chilled song, then this one is definitely for you- easy mellow beats with a rhythmic baseline will just leave you feeling happy. The track features artist Sampha who's on tour now if you wanna catch him...





3. Breakage- 'Fighting Fire' (Feat. Jess Mills)
Such a good new tune from the London-based drum and bass/dubstep producer, will have you hooked from the first beats. Jess Mills beautiful vocals fit the track perfectly too.





4. Liam Bailey- 'You Better Leave Me'
I said he was gonna be big in my 'new artists for 2011' feature, and I think I may just be right... this song, like all of his other is absolutely gorgeous- silky vocals, beautiful instrumentation, just amazing. If you like Plan B's 'Striclkand Banks' album, you're sure to like this track as it has the same sot of vibe. Listen and enjoy...





5. Benjamin Francis Leftwich- 'Pictures'
A beautiful song to end this weeks 'top 5' from York artists Leftwich, one that you could put on your bedtime playlist- sure to senf you into lovely fluffy-clouded dreams. Ahhh...

5 TRACKS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #6

Sorry it's been a while guys! But 'five tracks you have to hear this week' is BACK... and with a vengeance! Check out what's made the shortlist this week...


1. The Strokes- 'Under Cover Of Darkness'
They've been away for aaaaaaaages, but The Strokes are BACK and they're certainly showing everyone what they've been missing with this track. It's the first release from their upcoming album 'Angles' which is set to be released next month. Take a listen and thank you lucky stars that they decided to return!





2. Wiz Khalifa- 'Black and Yellow'
This song is all about the American football team 'Pitsburgh Steelers' who ended up losing the Super Bowl (oops). At least this song is a winner- number one in America right now, and you'll hear why- such a tune. "Yeh, uh-huh, you know what it iiiiiis"- you do now!





3. Crystal Fighters- 'At Home'
Not to be confused with Crystal Castles, Crystal Fighters are a less shouty, Spanish Band who formed in 2007 but are only just starting to get British acclaim for amazing tunes- and this is one of them... It's out on 14th March, so until then, enjoy a listen right here...





4. Clare Maguire- 'The Last Dance'
If you haven't heard this lady yet- you NEED to check out her stuff. Her powerful voice and beuatiful songs definitely won't fail to have an affect on you. She made the top 15 of the BBC's 'Sound of 2011' feature and Jay-Z is even said to be a fan. This is the first release from upcoming album 'Light and Dark'.






5. Diplo Vs. Tiesto (Feay. Busta Rhymes)- C'mon (Catch 'Em By Suprise)
Tieso and Busta Rhymes seemed like an odd pairing to me, but it deffo works- loved this track from the first listen. Sure to leave you 'hypnotised' as Mr Rhymes keeps saying...

**NEW VIDEO** NICKI MINAJ- 'MOMENT 4 LIFE'

The video for Nicki Minaj's new single 'Moment for Life' has arrived- and it's a good'un.

I already love the song- featuring in last weeks 5 tracks of the week, and this video has made it even better.

It shows Nicki, as a fairytale princess being told by her fairy godmother (also Minaj) to savour her 'Moment 4 Life' (see what she did there) and has Drake as her gorrrrgeous Prince Charming.

As usual, Minaj looks absolutely stunning in an array of different outfits and hairstyles.

This girl can literally do no wrong in my eyes-- so good.

Check out the vid below...

MUSIC FAIL OF THE WEEK #1

It's the biggest comeback in music since Take That reformed... its...

Oh wait, it's just those ones from B*Witched.

Yes, it is the return that no one wanted- twins Keavy and Edele have reformed to create the group 'Barbarellas'.

The duo appeared on 'This Morning' yesterday, trying to rock the 'sci-fi' image, but just ending up like Primark versions of Lady Gaga.

They performed their single 'Body Rock'. The gruesome video is below; watch it if you want to sit through 3 minutes and 8 seconds of hell.

I officially hate the word comeback now.

TINIE TEMPAH'S NEW VID: 'WONDERMAN'

Yes, man-of-the-moment Tinie Tempah is releasing another one of his amazing tracks from debut album 'Disc-covery'.

It's another collaboration- this time with songstress Ellie Goulding, so you know it's gonna be good.

The video see's Tinie in a lab being tested as the 'Wonderman' and Goulding as his gorgeous assistant.

Check it out below...
