[A CAPELLA] Lindsey Stirling & Pentatonix – “Radioactive” (Imagine Dragons Cover)
I love when artists think outside the box when it comes to covering other groups, and the a capella group Pentatonix plus violinist Lindsey Stirling have absolutely smashed their cover of Imagine Dragons‘ single “Radioactive.” Taking a steam punk-esque approach to the visuals, the group sings an impressive rendition of “Radioactive,” complimented by the sultry strings of Lindsey. While the track has been produced, it’s... Read More
[K POP] PSY – “Gentleman”
Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Why in the world would we write about Psy‘s new K-Pop music video, “Gentleman” after being released two days ago and receiving already more than 122 million views on Youtube? Well, because it’s effin funny! After being inundated with “Gangnam Style” over the past year, I thought I had enough Psy to last a lifetime, but it turns out that the cheeky Korean is back with some... Read More
[VIDEO PREMIERE] Big Paraid – “Walk In Place”
The kind of buzz around local well-kept secret Big Paraid is usually reserved for world-famous supergroups or star-studded vanity projects. The music itself certainly calls for it, as the trio’s debut EP is as menacing, sleazy and altogether potent as any release of their ilk, but what’s also getting area tastemakers anxious is that Big Paraid have yet to play a single note in front of a live audience. Well, at least as Big Paraid. Back... Read More
[INDIE/POP] Elliphant – “Live Till I Die”
I think I have a bit of Stockholm syndrome for Sweden’s newest indie/pop sensation Elliphant. She has dropped a couple of amazingly upbeat tracks over the last few months and has returned with the official video for her single “Live Till I Die.” Incorporating some lo-fi synth sounds and a vocal chorus that is near impossible not to sing along with, I’m reminded of a throwback girl pop group from the 90′s. I’m also... Read More

Recorded live in Stockholm, Dada Life has taken to the classical side of music arranging a full orchestral take of their massive single “So Young So High.” If you’ve ever seen these guys live, you’ll know what massive eccentric personalities they have and this video is proof they know how to teach an old dog new tricks with some creative fore thought – not to mention their addition of the balloons and helium voices for...

[POP] The Lonely Island – “YOLO” (ft. Adam Levine & Kendrick Lamar)
Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island crew are back with another absolutely hilarious pop parody music video revolving around the popular acronym “YOLO” featuring the chorus by Adam Levine and a slick verse with Kendrick Lamar. Already up to a few million views, this is going to be another massive track for the group, who borrows sounds from The Joy Formidable‘s new album Wolf’s Law to incorporate into the single. I love the... Read More
[ELECTRONICA] The Knife – “Full of Fire”
Oh, glory days: The Knife return. For those who have been waiting impatiently through the flurry of 64kbs webrips and teasers that would want to make any fan rip their hair out in nervous frustration, you’ll be excited to hear that “Full of Fire” has finally seen the light of day. “Full of Fire” roars with intensity, and takes its EDM origins to an ominous place. It’s a bit like if Jamie xx became possessed by... Read More

I’d like to introduce you to the smooth vocals and upbeat sunny vibes of LA resident Zak Waters who has just released the official visuals for his single “Runnin Around.” If you’ve been paying attention you’ll recognize Zak’s soaring vocals from French producer Madeon‘s single “The City.” Keeping a touch of that electronic background, Zak blends elements of sunny island pop, funk, and electro...

[INDIE/POP] Viceroy – “Dream Of Bombay” ft. Chela
San Fransisco based Viceroy has just dropped his new single “Dream Of Bombay” featuring vocals by Chela in which his motto “Summertime, All The Time” surely lives up to it’s name. With degrees in the single digits I really am dreaming of anywhere but Chicago today, so simply am I closing my eyes and finding the sun-soaked images of Bombay warming my digits. Hopefully you’re reading this from a more comfortable climate,... Read More
