Okay Zayn! The One Direction outcast makes some fire music, just listened to the entire album and it's dope! Zayn pairs the release of his debut solo album "Mind of Mine" with a video of another the B side "BeFoUr". A lot more uptempo than "Pillowtalk", has a nice melodic groove to it. The video looks like it's a sneak peek into an average day and night of the Englishman, probably before fame.
This is my jam! The video though, I have no idea what's going on, it's like a post apocalyptic future. They are in an abandoned warehouse and there's a hot girl roaming around, and everyone's driving Mad Max cars. I will probably never watch this video again and waste 5 minutes of my life, but the song is so dope that it doesn't even matter.
This song is so dope. Never heard the original or the band Hundred Waters, but the Skrillex rework and Chance feature got me to listen instantly. Hundred Waters is an Indie Folk band from the University of Florida that somehow ended up signing with Skrillex's OWSLA label. An unexpected pairing with the predominantly electric heavy acts but good music is good music. Can't wait to hear more.
Haven't really listened to any of PARTYNEXTDOOR. First impression, the OVO camp got that rap/sing style down, I can see why the 22 year old Canadian singer aligned himself with Drake, really reminds me of Bryson Tiller. Comparisons aside, "Come and See Me" is a solid smooth R&B track, which for me is a good introduction to his music.

Major Lazer team up with Grandtheft to bring life to a 1985 dancehall classic from Johnny Osbourne. "Buddy Bye" gets a modern trap and hardstyle facelift. Free download too! Get it while it lasts.

It's not GOOD Friday but we got a new (old) release from Kanye today. When "Yeezus" dropped back in 2013 there was a rumored remix to "Black Skinhead" featuring an unexpected collaborator in Miley Cyrus, but nothing ever came to fruition. Here we finally have a leak, definitely sounds like a rough cut, but here's the "Black Skinhead" remix that never saw the light of day featuring not only Miley Cyrus but Travi$ Scott and Lupe Fiasco. Kinda kills the vibe of the original but it's a decent remix. What do you think?
It's been awhile since we heard the London duo. They've been quietly preparing for their second album which hopefully be released this spring. We have a new single "I'm in Control" featuring Jamaican artist Popcaan, thus having a nice dancefloor vibe to the new track. Hopefully this is just the first of more new music from AlunaGeorge.

2016 should be Flume's year. This is the first release of his long awaited sophomore album "Skin". "Never Be Like You" features songstress Kai, who we last heard on Jack U's "Mind". Awesome lead single; good pop tune to introduce Flume's style and sound to the commercial masses. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
