Lorde- Royals

At sixteen most people aren't filling in for Frank Ocean on 1 day of notice for the Splendour in the Grass Festival, but that's the kind of stuff Ella Yellich-O'Connor, better known as Lorde, does. At the age of sixteen she is killing it. This track Royals is going to be in the talk for song of the year, and if it isn't it is a crime. Her voice isn't quite like anything I've heard in a while especially coming from someone as young as her. It is refreshing, cool, and a bit unnerving. She is a gem from New Zealand that you best not overlook or you will feel left out when she is one of the next best artists. Take a listen and be on the watch for her debut album coming later this month. Enjoy!

Marvin Divine- Dreamers

With a sample like Every Evening from the 2 Am Club and the smooth delivery of Marvin Divine how could you not like this song? Yes I know this came out in the winter, but it is not getting anywhere close to enough attention. So here it is for you, give it a listen and see what you think. Great song to get in the mood for summer, just roll down the windows and let this play. Enjoy!

The Shouting Matches - Seven Sisters

Do yourself a favor and go listen to The Shouting Matches' new album called Grown Ass Man or their EP Mouthoil. If you don't believe this is a good idea, listen to this track called Seven Sisters and you will change you mind. The side project of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, and two of his good friends makes for a bluesy melodic mixture that you just sometimes need. Give it a listen, and see what you think, it can't hurt. Enjoy!

Deptford Gotch - Feel Real

Deptford Gotch released an interesting track with an even more captivating video in Feel Real. The beat covered by soft vocals draws you into the artistic video and traps you for four minutes. Deptford Gotch produces a special sound which combines different chimes and beats in order to make a melodic tone throughout. Enjoy.

Wake Owl-Gold

If there was a sound for pure gold, this is what it would sound like. A few days ago I came across these guys and their EP Wild Country which was released this past January. The second I heard this song I was hooked, and couldn't get enough of them. The sound and feel they bring into each of their songs is absolutely amazing and contagious. They are well worth the listen and if you like them head over to iTunes and buy Wild Country, you wont be disappointed. Enjoy!

Mount Kimbie - "Made To Stray"

The British electronic duo is set for their sophomore release "Cold Spring Fault Less Youth" on May 27, 2013. This single released from their new album has all of the Mount Kimbie vibe from their previous release "Crooks & Lovers". Mellow synths, clicky drums, and a groove that has stuck in my head since I first heard it. If there is anything wrong with it, I'd say it ends way too early. Well done.

Passenger-Let Her Go

This isn't a new song, but it was just shown to me by a friend, and damn. The voice of Mike Rosenberg completely caught me off guard when the video started to play and he began to sing. He has a voice like few other singers out there today. This song though a bit depressing is one that you can't help but to sing with and enjoy every sorrow filled word. The video is a simple one, and when combined with this beautiful song it makes for a great experience. Enjoy!
