COSMOS & CREATURE - YOUNG

It's Sunday night and I finally have a little time to do a little blogging (crazy last few days at work). But last week was also a HUGE week for music. From The Weeknd and Daft Punk to more new Green Day, Skott, GRiZ, and Shaun Frank's seriously good "Closer" remix, it was a big one. We can't forget about this incredible highly anticipated debut from Cosmos & Creature though. The power couple that is Brandyn Burnette and Molly Moore, two standout solo artists in their own right who are good friends of the blog, have been featured as their new duo project on a couple big dance records over the past few months. Now they've finally shared their official debut original, and it's pure awesome. "Young" is a song about nostalgia for the carefree days of youth, but with a reminder of the conviction and confidence necessary to succeed in adulthood. It simultaneously looks back at the past and into the future. Everyone can relate. Top that with the fact that it's catchy, well-produced, and features Molly and Brandyn's great vocals. This one deserves to be on the radio. Keep it up fam, can't wait for what's next!

MICKEY VALEN - MEET ME (FEAT. NOÉ)

Mickey Valen is a name new to Beautiful Buzzz, but certainly not new to releasing killer original tracks and remixes which top the Hype Machine charts and garner hundred of thousands of plays on Soundcloud. The NYC-based writer/producer has developed a signature style that incorporates elements of R&B, Future Bass, and Trap. For "Meet Me", he's enlisted rising French-born songstress noé to create a sensual Future Pop banger. His forward-thinking production provides the perfect backdrop for the sassy, rich vocals to shine over. I know I'd be hella 'glad to meet' both the producer and the singer. Chalk up another great selection by the label team at Trap Nation! 

SAVI - BREATHE IT IN FEAT. BRYCE FOX

New to our BB pages Savi has had a couple of great releases this year with a remix for Borgeous & Tydi's "Wanna Lose You" as well as a massively successful Selena Gomez cover with TELYkast for "Hands To Myself." Well today I'm pleased to show you his latest "Breathe It In" a really terrific tune featuring fellow midwesterner and one of our growing BB faves Bryce Fox. The track is easy to fall in love with and packs an emotional punch from the second you hit play. Set to be released on all retailers 9/30 from Enhanced Recordings you can stream/download here.

FOREIGN AIR - BETTER FOR IT + FOR THE LIGHT EP

Jesse Clasen and Jacob Michael better know as their dropbox project Foreign Air have put together a string of great releases beginning almost a year ago with the fantastic single "Free Animal." Flash forward to now, the duo has released their debut 'For The Light' EP today featuring the other singles "In The Shadows," "Echo," and most recently "Better For It." This single starts simply with piano, but evolves into a well produced indie pop tune with an exotic quality to it. The soundscape is lush and complex while still smooth to the core. This is an excellent book end to a break out year for the guys. SF you can catch Foreign Air at the Fillmore 11/25 and LA you can see them as part of the Red Bull Sound Select series at the Fonda 11/27 and 11/28 with Aurora and Oyster Kids. More details at their Facebook page.     

KSHMR & FELIX SNOW FT. MADI - TOUCH (HTPKT REMIX)

HtPkt's new remix of KSHMR & Felix Snow's "Touch" featuring Madi takes the hard hitting banger and reimagines the track in a more future bass orientation, all while maintaining the beauty and integrity of Madi's vocals. HtPkt, from Miami but currently based in NYC, is a steadily rising talent everyone can get in on early right now. He's currently at less than 1,000 followers on Soundcloud but don't expect that to stay that way for long; we see his stock rising quickly over the next year.

VINCENT - RETROGRADE

Seven months after giving us ‘Her’ Vincent is back with a brand new sound. "Retrograde" is much deeper and seems more personal than Vincent’s past track. With it's releases Vincent posted a message on his Soundcloud page and had this to say “...  I've always wanted to showcase emotion and keep it at the forefront of my songs.” and I think "Retrograde" is full of emotion. Everything about the track is a little more intense than his other music and it pays off for sure. This is an awesome tune and I’ll definitely be looking out for more songs like this from Vincent.

AKIHABARA! - TAKE FLIGHT

19 year old, St. Louis based akihabara! continues down the path of dropping moody future bass tracks while steadily growing his presence online. "Take Flight" keeps the trend going, with melodic synths ebbing and flowing over a hard ambient bass line. Altogether adding a thorough layer of umph to an overall cerebral musical experience. Keep an eye and an ear out for this up and comer. 

OYSTER KIDS - 40 NIGHTS

I'm in a very indie vibe today, so I'm gonna keep it going. We haven't been able to show Oyster Kids love in a while, so I definitely want to catch back up and throw some support behind their new single "40 Nights," and mention a few of their other amazing tracks they've released since our post of their first release "Creepy" almost a year ago (wow it's been that long!!). If you haven't heard the groovy "Lips," and the laid back summer beach friendly tune "Gum (Everybody's My Friend)," do yourself a favor and put those on your day time jams playlist. "40 Nights" is their best yet in my opinion, the falsetto chorus is just too infectious. The active rhythm section keeps the song chipper while the verse vocals mesmerizingly drift on. The combination of the verse and chorus places "40 Nights" into a mixed bag of emotions: the chorus is lighter and catchy, yet the verses inspire something almost mysterious. The net result is a song that's interesting and pop friendly all at the same time, which is no simple task these days.   

KNGDAVD - POPPIES

Newcomers KNGDAVD comprised of singer Tye James and multi-instrumentalist and producer Jon Buscema met at the University of the Arts in Philly. Considering themselves Jazz rejects they joined forces to eventually create KNGDAVD. Forget jazz! Tye and Jon are owning a superb blend of blues, rock and pop in a way that's gritty, fun and suppperrr catchy. "Poppies" is an instant ear pleaser the second you hit play with a vocal falsetto and distorted synth like guitar leading us into a verse and chorus that grab you and won't let go. Now located in NYC and with a hypem #1 already to their credit for "Say My Name," this duo sounds like they're primed and ready for a national presence. If this is your first time hearing these guys I'm happy to say "Poppies" is one hell of an introduction.
