MONOGEM - TAKE IT SLOW

Ah look right here! Our girl Monogem is back with a total summer jam "Take It Slow." We had so much fun with her at our Get Buzzzed Austin showcase and we know she's got a really bright future ahead of her. "Take It Slow" is a perfect mix of tropical and pop feels that's ready for your pool party, backyard grill, drive down the PCH, pretty much anytime you're feeling good! The record begins fittingly slow, but a hot second later the synth stabs chime in grooving behind her heavenly vocals. You can grab this on all digital retailers including Spotify right here.  

ERIC SHARP - A LITTLE MORE FT. SPENCER LUDWIG & SHANDRA DIXON

Now that all the Coachella buzz and all the subsequent Palms Springs and LA parties have been laid to rest, I'm slowly trying to get back to the slog or normalcy. Which certainly isn't easy, but tracks like Eric Sharp's "A Little More" definitely help. This track grooves hard yet still manages to remain upbeat, soothing and even relaxed. Certainly due to the incredible trumpet line from Capital Cities' Spencer Ludwig and the graceful vocals of Shandra Dixon. According to Eric the record "represents the eternal wellspring of hope that is around every corner if we look for it. It celebrates the joy and release that music and dancing can inspire in us all." Music is certainly that, and while I may be looking for a little extra reserve of joy to help get me through this week, it's records like "A Little More" that totally hit the spot. For a limited time you can get a free download of this track here.

ROBOKID - 23

I pretty much have a crush on every Moving Castle artist - they are all super babes and so talented! This one here tho, OMG swoon Robokid is so dreamy .... I feel all girly and stuff (batting eyelashes). We got to do some hangs when he played our SXSW show in March, and I kinda definitely swooned a little - but I am used to it I guess, I live my life surrounded by dreamy boys! But let's focus OK - because the music is fucking amazing and really what's important here! Just now Robokid dropped a new original that is equally as dreamy with all the feels - and if you have been watching the Coachella live stream "23" is the theme song, how cool is that!!  You can swoop this one from iTunes HERE!

(LOSS OF A LEGEND) PRINCE - STARE

While posting on twitter for our latest premiere, I saw the internet bursting over this sad news. It was literally two weeks ago at brunch after our Goldroom show at Mezzanine, Erin and I were talking about the phenomenon that is Prince, and the impact he's had on the industry. Admittedly I didn't fully appreciate the entire depth his incredible catalogue, so I've been reaching deeper into his music since then. To have this terrible news happen now is both extra sad and fitting. While I could post any number of his hits, "Kiss," "Purple Rain," "Little Red Corvette," "Let's Go Crazy," "When Doves Cry," "I Wanna Be Your Lover" I could go on and on. However I thought it fitting that because we're a new music blog I should post something from his most recent, final and 39th studio album "HITnRUN Phase Two," which was released just this last December. 

"Stare" is a perfect harmony of his unfathomable presence in pop, yet also indicative of his mastery of so many other genres namely Funk, Dance, R&B and Rock. "Stare" is a fun, eclectic and of course sexy record featuring an incredible slap bass line, funky guitar and horns. While "Stare" will undoubtedly be overshadowed by many of the other classic tunes from his legacy, I wanted to support a record that I love and one you most likely will not be hearing too much about in the wake of his death. R.I.P.

[PREMIERE] SELVA - STRUCK (FT. LUKE CUSATO)

Let us start your Thursday with an ice cold chiller of a record from Australia's Selva. A raw and emotional tune, Selva teamed up with Luke Cusato for an incredible vocal performance on this beautifully haunting tune. Selva's jazzy piano chords fit perfectly with the light rhythm and esoteric synth work escorted by killer background vocals that can send shivers down your spine. By the bridge the record picks it up with bright saw synths and a melodic arp that takes us through to the end. You can nab this courtesy of Heroic Recordings on all digital retailers here.
