The year was 1985 and Italo disco was at it's highest peak.But not only that.There were plenty of names from Italian music industry that dominated Europe's music just like this one by Matia Bazar.This song was probably their biggest hit in Europe and a highlight of their career.Now "Ti Sento" gets an update by Bob Sinclar that stays true to the original feeling and Antonella's vocals from the iconic original dominates the airwaves just like she did back then.Such a forever gem!!!
Hayla is a great singer that's why she offered her vocals to productions for Kx5 or John Summit to name a few.But she is far more than a guest vocalist cause apart from her singing she is also a songwriter and producer for the past six years.Her brand new single "Fall Again" has nothing to jealous from other big productions in dance music and if it's given a chance it will very well be one of your favourite songs in your playlist.
While Tyla is making waves this year, African queen Tems is back with another afrobeat banger."Me & U" is a percussive, hypnotic track that manages to be both exciting and contemplative.This is her first release in 2023 after her impressive way up in 2022.Now if you want to spin an afrobeat genuine tune Tem's single is the perfect choice and probably a hit in the making.
Once upon a time this song became one of the biggest hits of the 80s and one of Bonnie Tyler's signature songs.The year was 1983 and 40 years later here comes this dance remix that wasn't very much needed to tell you the truth.Released to celebrate the partial lunar eclipse which happened on Saturday and could been seen across the Uk Majestic remixed "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with this twist including a sample of Bonnie Tyler reciting the iconic Jaffa Cakes catchphrase of "Full Moon, Half Moon, Total Eclipse" and Bonnie on the tv screen...
Believe it or not "Seven" by Jung Kook with Latto is one of the most succesfull songs this year based on the streaming data since it remains very popular for weeks surviving all other mega hits released these past few months.And just to keep things running for Jung Kook here comes the David Guetta remix to put the final dance touch to a global hit that was under the radar most of the times but people seem to liked it a lot.
Diljit Dosanjh is a Punjabi superstar with millions of sales and streamings.Now that he has joined forces with Sia for the Greg Kurstin produced "Hass Hass" the generated buzz is justified.Sia is known for her unique vocal talents, and she impressively sings Punjabi lyrics in the song.This song is all about spreading happiness and positivity very much needed these days so don't be surpised if it charts high in the Uk the next days. The song itself is a wonderful blend of cultural diversity and varying musical talents.Remember what i ve told you about this one...
There must be some kind of collective mind lately about using Tears For Fears in newly released dance tracks.Few hours back it was Tiesto with "Rule The World" and now Piero Pirupa using "Shout" in his brand new release "Change Your Mind".It's not always the outcome when a classic is being used on a dance release but the memories it brings especially when you have lived it's original release in full effect.We have heard before this 1985 number one single by Tears For Fears being sampled and it's going to happen again and again.This one by Italian dj Piero Pirupa is not something to be remembered in long terms but i love the original...
She is officially a billionair making her not only a very hard working girl but also a phenomenon in music.Vinyl collectors are already buying the "1989 (Taylor's Version)" album in every possible variant spending a lot of money for her while the streamings of the album's songs has wiped out all of the other hits right now.One of the vault tracks off of "1989 (Taylor’s Version)" is "Slut!" and it immediately became the most anticipated song from the re-release gaining massive attention from day one.Depending on streaming it might dethrone her own "Cruel Summer" from Billboard's number one in the next days.Are We Sluts for Taylor Swift?
Taken from their newly released brand new album "Bauhaus Staircase" this song is an example of why OMD are one of the pioneers of electronic pop.The days when they charted with iconic songs such as "If You Leave" and "Enola Gay" may be over but their mark continues to show the way of what timeless music is all about.The song "Anthropocene" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark delves into the concept and consequences of the Anthropocene, which refers to the current geological epoch characterized by significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems. The lyrics discuss the progression of human population throughout history, highlighting the exponential increase in numbers and its implications for the planet.It invites listeners to reflect on the significance of our actions and their long-lasting effects on the world we inhabit.
This collaboration between Sophie And The Giants and Purple Disco Machine is like an old perfume that never goes away in any form.Sometimes it takes several months for their collabs to explode but when they do they leave a big mark on the music timeline.R3HAB took "Paradise" to remix it and he created the forbitten apple in it.There is absolutely no excuse for djs this winter not to play this one on repeat.
with a lush instrumental and soaring vocals, "Hello Love" details an epic romance off Jessie Ware’s fifth album "That! Feels Good!".And my oh my this song can deliver a night mood into your speakers.This is probably the most sentimental song on the album and one of the few new releases this week that really worth spending time with.Jessie Ware never dissapoints...
You know how it is with the classics."Rule The World (Everybody)" is a collaborative effort. Here Tiësto has taken Niiko x Swae & GUDFELLA‘s remix and given it a new spin. The track seamlessly blends the original’s nostalgic charm with Tiësto’s signature Progressive House sound. With it, the world now has an irresistible anthem for a new generation.The addition of Niiko x Swae‘s vocals adds a layer of depth and emotion to the remix. Their soulful harmonies intertwine with Roland Orzabal‘s original vocals to create a truly captivating listening experience."Rule The World (Everybody)" is a testament to Tiësto‘s enduring ability to reinvent and reimagine classic tracks.And just like that they rule once again...
Illenium has built a well respected profile in dance music coming from the USA.The bass electronic genre he serves has led him several times on the Billboard's dance music charts and it will happen again with this collaboration with fellow bass musicstars Excision and Wooli.Reworking a classic like Cranberries 1994 "Zombie" into what you about to hear was a surprise.The new rework is a bold and compelling departure from its source material. While the original track is rooted in grunge with its instantly recognizable guitar riff, the powerhouse trio of Illenium, Wooli and Excision inject their own distinct melodic bass sounds, breathing new life into the classic. Their new version of "Zombie" sets the stage with Valerie Broussard's emotionally charged vocals, creating a soundscape loaded with tension through ascending melodies and resonant vocal layers. As the song progresses into the first of three drops, we're surrounded with lush and ethereal synths, which create a sense of grandeur and euphoria. However, the mood undergoes a rapid and exhilarating transformation when growling dubstep dominates the second drop.This is a nice surprise though..
What a year that was for Chase & Status since they have changed their status finally into hitmakers.All these years drum n bass was a genre for the "few" and not easy to be played on the radio.Chase & Status along with other artists changed that into a massive wave of drum n bass everywhere from clubs to charts.While their "Baddadan" single is riding the Uk top 10 the duo recruits one of the best voices out there Clementine Douglas for their new single "Say The Word".The melody on this one combines with the crazy beats produced by the duo so all it takes is to "Say The Word" and the heat is on...
This song is the first time the pair have collaborated, however both singers are known for their collaborations with other artists. This year, Nathan has collaborated with Joel Corry and Ella Henderson with "0800 Heaven", while Bebe Rexha has worked with dance legend David Guetta on "One In A Million", and their massive hit "I'm Good (Blue)" last year."Heart Still Beating" is a dance radio friendly release that will probably chart high in the Uk but make no mistake this is not the epitomy of "something new to my ear".But still it has all the ingredients to make you wanna hear it again and again..
As we are getting closer to Halloween Duran Duran are feeling the spooky energy of :Danse Macabre".This Friday we will feel it too as DD will release their new album with this cover being on it among others.But...they are not alone....Victoria De Angelis from Maneskin is getting her part on the cover of 1977 Talking Heads classic "Psycho Killer".The bass player seems to fit perfectly on this Duran Duram rendition of this classic while we expect the album that also includes covers from Billie Eilish, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Rolling Stones, and more.
Only a rock band with years in the making rock music can cover a classic rock song like Deep Purple's "Soldier Of Fortune".Whitesnake with Joel Hoekstra on the band's lead guitar, David Coverdale on vocals and the Hook City Strings on violin and strings are covering the iconic 1974 rock song. David Coverdale was a relatively unknown 21-year-old singer-songwriter when he joined Deep Purple in 1973.This year he is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his Deep Purple debut with a tribute to his three-year tenure with the legendary group. This newly remixed, remastered, and expanded edition of the 2015 album features previously unreleased recordings, including the very demo that secured Coverdale’s spot with Deep Purple.The Purple Album: Special Gold Edition arrived on October 13 as a 2-CD/Blu-ray set and a 2-LP set on resplendent gold vinyl.
Noah Kahan is bubbling hot for quite sometime now making him the new country superstar.There were doubts about "Stick Season" quality after he first uploaded it to TikTok more than one year ago, doubts about whether anyone outside of Vermont would relate to the song, and doubts about whether he even needed to finish the tune after a lone verse from the brisk folk track caught on.But the song did came out and not only that it became viral and not only in the USA.A "stick season" is a specific term native to Vermonters, referring to the period of time between Halloween and the first snow and that means right now which is exactly the reason why this song is becoming a hit right now long after it's release.
First of all we have to thank maestro Mark Ronson for this one and give a thumb up to Gucci for having this brilliant idea.To mark the launch of the new Gucci Ancora collection last September, the House’s creative director Sabato De Sarno and music producer Mark Ronson have collaborated to create an original remix of the iconic song Ancora, ancora, ancora by celebrated Italian artist Mina, written by Cristiano Malgioglio, which became a huge hit upon its release in 1978.Mina is a legend for Italian music and then for the world.This song is for all European genx people a chill on the back spine and a trip to the memory lane.The show’s soundtrack also includes Lykke Li’s "Late Night Feelings" and Romy’s "Loveher".
Beatrice Kristi Ilejay Laus known professionally as Beabadoobee, is a Filipino-English singer and songwriter.She was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the 2020 Brit Awards, and was presented with the Radar Award at the 2020.On the other hand Laufey Lín Jónsdóttir known by the mononym Laufey, is an Icelandic-Chinese singer and songwriter.The result is definitely a song to remember cause this sensual duet in the form of "A Night To Remember" is built around a sultry bossa nova beat with a warm acoustic guitar and silky strings to boot.Charting for this one is a no unless a comet hits the earth but on repeat.....hell YES!!!
On November 11 the eleventh studio album by Chris Brown called "11:11" will be released.The number eleven must be "Sensational" for Chris Brown as it comes in a afrobeat form with two Nigerian superstars on board, Davido and LoJay.This is the second single from the upcoming album and it truly masters the RnB silkness with the African vibes.You could say that the title of the song matches the feeling when you hear this one...
If you wanna party on a Saturday night or any other night this one will surely get you in the mood.Although the vocals are not from Whitney Houston's iconic "I Have Nothing" the "don't make me close one more door" has been for a long time a favourite verse on Tik Tok and a vocal skill show off for many singers.Tommy MC and 71 Digits made this party starter based on the Whitney's song and the result is something that i liked almost instantly.
She's been through a lot.I m not sure that she's ok and that makes me even worried about what future lies ahead.In a few days her memoir will be out and some details on it are already leaked.And whenever there is a publicity for any reason music takes control that's why there has been several remixes lately and an increase of streamings especially for "Everytime".This remix by Snakehips on 2001 "I m Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman" is a fine example of what an inspired remix can do to any track.One of the best on any Britney Spear's song...
Let's bring on the "Tension" in a remix form!!!The official remix package for the second single from Kylie's brand new album is out and Chromeo maeks no mistake on this one.This is THE ONE you need to hear cause it brings the proper disco vibes.Kylie's second or maybe third musical youth is on the loose and "Tension" is really getting better and better.How many like her are out there really....
That's an interesting collaboration that finally came out today.Charli XCX and Sam Smith released their first collaboration in the form of "In The City".The song is about finding the people you truly love and connect with through wild nights out and partying in magical places and that makes it a dance record.Although there were some hateful comments online about Sam Smith in her instagram announcement for this release which Charli condemned them "In The City" is a party song and music should be a celebration in every way.Let's put this on loudly and ride for the city partying...You never know what tomorrow brings cause these are difficult times..
How to save a career is the message on this one since The Kid Laroi's latest album went sinking with all the singles aboard.Enlisting Jung Kook and British superstar rapper Central Cee for his brand new single as fans are concerned is never "Too Much".As for the first listen it might sound to many "too much" cause there's nothing new here but the hype will be massive.Will it work?Probably yes at first but there is a deadline that will last no more than a month if my modjo is right.If not forget that i wrote it..
Jess Glynne has more official number one singles than any other British solo female artist in the history of the Uk charts.So far she has seven to her name and maybe her brand new will also make it to the top."Friend Of Mine" explores her drum n bass roots with Sub Focus being on the production team and her incedible elevating the track to one of the hot new releases this week.
The "Trustfall" deluxe edition by Pink is on the way and it's going to include 2 new songs.This is the first one with Marshmello and Sting making a surprise team for "Dreaming".The song is based on Sting's "Fields Of Gold" with changed lyrics and a dance mood from Marshmello.This song will probably be also on Marshmello's new album out very soon.This song by Sting as many others have been used over the years by many artists with the presence of Sting on most of them.The line up on "Dreaming" is intriguing with the result being already on my playlist.What about the charts? Is there any room for good songs these days?
After the massive box office recieve for Taylor Swift's movie for the Era's Tour "Cruel Summer" is destined to become a number one single on Billboard.For this reason a live version for the song and a remix by LP Giobbi was released today helping Taylor to get a new number one single."Cruel Summer" is one of more than three dozen songs featured in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which is currently playing in theaters.The craziness about her gets new heights, a phenomenon in music that grows each day.
This year there has been several remixes on this iconic 80's track by one of my favourite duos ever.The lead single from the 1984 album "Big Bam Boom" was "Out Of Touch' which remains and always will be a classic.This is one of my favourite 12" vinyls in my collection and this remix by AvantGard & Tabldot is staying so true to the original version that could easily have been on the original 12".This one educates the ears and bring back good memories.
Firmly immersed in the buzzing UK drum and bass scene, rising artists Charlotte Haining and goddard have joined forces to create "High Hopes".Leeds-native Charlotte has notably worked with the likes of Sub Focus and Dimension while chart-topping UK producer goddard is known for seamlessly blending drum and bass with lavish melodies and top tier songwriting.His collaboration with rising UK vocalist Venbee "Messy In Heaven" has already scaled the upper-echelons of the UK singles chart, having spent 13 weeks in the Top 10, and racking up streams in the tens of millions. Proving themselves a knockout duo, this exciting collaboration is guaranteed to solidify "high hopes" for both artists in the coming months.I vote for this one...
"Street Player" by Rufus & Chaka Khan from 1978 covered by Chicago in 1979 was the base from one of the biggest dance hits from the 90s from The Bucketheads using as a sample the Chicago version."The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)" remains until today an iconic choon that everybody knows from second one.The same loop from dj Pastel comes once again alive for the next almost ten minutes in the form of "Cabo Player".The only reason i m posting this one is not the 10 minutes loop without any other creativity skills anywhere to be found but because people need to know where the roots are coming from and maybe search for the sources.
Floating Points comes from Manchester Uk and the reason that made me post his brand new single "Birth4000' will be explained.This dance banger sounds like as though Giorgio Moroder's "I Feel Love" riff were reprogrammed into a frazzled attack a la Justice. As it builds up to a sweaty techno staredown, the synth shakes, tears and pitch shifts to a frenzy up and down.Crazy dance choon with unpredictable impact to the world of music.
I ll start by saying that i like Drake in general.But he doesn't deserve to recieve 13 number one songs in the USA tying Michael Jackson as the most number ones by a male artists.The way the charts are made are giving the benefit to big names to debut at number one just because of the streamings they recieve.That's why Drake occupies almost the entire Billboard top 10 this week.These records are false based to a very different system and they can't be compared in any way with the massive resonance MJ number one singles had.Who will remember any of Drake's songs from his latest album in six months from now.Noooooone!!!!Next week this week's number one "First Person Shooter" will probably make a huge drop while "IDGAF" with Yeat will only remain battling for another number one in the next weeks with Bad Bunny's "Monaco" being the only opponent.Taylor Swift's movie with her latest tour on screen will boost most of her songs with "Cruel Summer" getting another chance for the number one spot.Billboard's charts are getting less credibility each year and if you are looking for new music you better look to other places.
The second preview of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald's new album, "This Life", due out on November 24 is here.Take That's music today is like the day compared to what they have been releasing as a boyband back in the 90s.Coupling soft acoustic guitar with stirring vocal harmonies "Brand New Sun" is made for a mature audience and it will serve well as a BBC 2 tune of the week since the band measures what they can do in their 50s.
Next week James Blunt will release his brand new album "Who We Used To Be".I never really understood why his first single "Beside You" never got the chart attention but there is no credibility to the charts anymore.However his latest single "The Girl That Never Was" is getting more attention probably because it's more in his style that people knows.The song it lyrically explores the theme of loss, is delicate, raw, acoustic-lead and one of Blunt’s most emotional songs to date.Are you ready to get emotional?
From the moment you press play, you’re swept away on a sonic journey, but what truly sets "Save Me" apart is the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Lauren L’aimant. DJ and producer Kaskade has released his brand new single this week and it's truly one of the best dance tracks this month.Driving beats and melodies, guiding you through the sonic landscape a powerful combination that leaves you breathless and yearning for more.I have just been saved...
You already know how much i love the Crush.I believe that they make brilliant electronic pop music that if they were in the 80s they would be huge stars.On November 10 they brand new album "Heartbeat Highway" will be released and "Crush" is one more single lifted from this.The song explores the intense emotions and excitement associated with falling in love. They deserve a big audience and this blog will do everything to promote their brilliant pop.
Meduza have released a brand new Ep and this blaster is straight out of this one.The electrifying new double self-titled EP has two "rooms"."Room 1" serves as a reminder of what they’re capable of doing in the commercial scene, showcasing just how many quality hits they’ve had in such a short space of time. On the flip side, "Room 2" is a space for their underground hits, with the already loved tracks "Everything You Have Done" "Upside Down" and "Friends"."Ecstasy" was a highlight over the Ibiza season unleashed and ready to dominate winter clubbing.
This is probably the best Troye Sivan single so far...Mature, high quality pop music straight out of his newly released album "Something To Give Each Other". "One of Your Girls" features Sivan fully embodying the role of a Britney Spears-esque idol.This synth pop gem lifts Troye Sivan's profile in a different level despite the fact that he is making lgbtq based music that inprisons him in a way to a certain audience.This is one of the best choices to pick for your playlist this week.
Whoah this is a club banger!!!London-based, Italian-born DJ and producer Cassimm unveils his latest single "Love Desire", the latest club-ready anthem released on Claptone’s new label Golden Recordings.This is probably the most infectious dance release of the week as "Love Desire" is based on 1989's club classic "French Kiss" by Lil Louis.This can be really huge depending on how massive is going to be used by the djs the next weeks.Is there any chance for the radios to start playing this one at the same time?Massive groove that lifts the mood...
Skepta has paid homage to Amy Winehouse with his new single "Can’t Play Myself (A Tribute To Amy)".The atmospheric house track "Cna't Play Myself" contains vocal samples from Winehouse’s 2007 single "Tears Dry On Their Own", which features on her classic album "Back To Black".Last month saw Winehouse’s friend and collaborator Mark Ronson pay tribute to the late singer on what would have been her 40th birthday.On December 22, 2023 Winehouse’s live band will perform a special London concert in her honour. The gig will be held at Koko in the star’s hometown of Camden Town.
Bad Bunny dropped as a surpise his brand new album "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana" just over a year after its predecessor, "Un Verano Sin Ti". "Monaco" is the newest single with a video where he eats past with Al Pacino.The song's reference to "Godfather" is strong and the sample that matches the era is from Charles Aznavour's "Hier Encore" plays a significant role to "Monaco".This song is expected for all the reasons to chart high all over the world marking that Bad Bunny is the ultimate latin superstar.Great latin-rap song great video...
Ice Spice is expected to have numerous nominations for best new artist in several awards and she might even won.Now Ice Spice's new single taps one of the globe's most streamed Afrobeats stars Rema.They have released their first collaboration song called "Pretty Girl" a twinkling, poppy love song full of delicate synths until breaking out into fluttering polyrhythmic percussion.This an intersting new release that might chart high since it has the radio standards and a summerish attitude.
He is back and on March 15 he will release his brand new album "Blue Electric Light" which will be a double one.:TK421" is an apparent nod to “Star Wars,” as the term refers to a designation of a human male Imperial stormtrooper who served on Lasan before he was stationed on the Death Star battle station but was that really the inspiration for the song title?According to the lyrics pobably yes cause he sings "can you feel my stormtrooper".Now on the video for the song the 59 year old Lenny is fully exposed and the sexiness goes beyond the imagination.As for "TK421" all i can feel is a rock funk jam that i can only compare to Prince's "Hot Thing" or "Kiss" which was my impression from the very start.They don't make music like this anymore and young people will not fully understand but who cares?
With "Adore U" peaking at number 4 on the Uk chart Fred Again is moving on by releasing a brand new single with Jozzy on vocals."Ten" unfortunately is not just as good as i was expecting it but that's just my opinion.With an atmosperic dance approach and a huge drop after the second chorus Fred Again continues to create music and expanding his music universe being an incredible talent anyway.
Empire Of The Sun was Nick Littlemore member of the Pnau trio and Luke Steele and together they formed the iconic band from Australia.Next year, Pnau are releasing a new album called "Hyperbolic", and today Littlemore is bringing his two projects together with a brand single called "AEIOU".This song is about not letting the garden of Eden within us all be corrupted by the world.Steele is on the vocals and "AEIOU" is on the loose and on repeat...
Usually the Eurovision winner except maybe only Maneskin doesn't have a follow up hit single just like it happens with Loreen after "Euphoria".So is "Is It Love" her first new single after winning the song contest a song that could have the same response?If you ask me the answer is yes cause the vibe and the radio ready composition of her new single can easily be played everywhere.There is only one problem.It won't have the exposure that "Tattoo" had through the tv show.The production is from Rami Yacoub (Britney Spears, Ariana Grande), a fellow Swede who is part of Max Martin's team.
Get ready in a few days for an action-packed, all-star, rainbow-colored family reunion like no other as Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return for the new chapter in DreamWorks Animation's blockbuster musical franchise: "Trolls Band Together".After two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple.As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric Andre; Sing 2), Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs Hamilton) and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi).The rest on the screen and this one is the second single lifted from the ost of the movie.After the NSYNC and Justin "Better Place" here comes "It Takes Two" with this all star line up to make you feel part of this "Band Together".
This is the way...If you are searching to solve this problem Paloma Faith with her brand new single will give you the solution."How To Leave A Man" her first after two years hiatus serves as the first from her upcoming album "The Glorification Of Sadness".Now my first impression after hearing it was that someone must have been a huge fan of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" cause the inprint on it is so strong that you can't avoid noticing it.This a powerful return from Paloma Faith and it will probably be a radio favourite and a hit!!!
