AXEL MANSOOR - BUSY

The man is back with another melodic masterpiece. The Mansoor that is. Axel Mansoor, the talented singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist known for his flawless falsetto, catchy lyrical cadence, and glistening guitar licks just dropped his second single of 2019. The track, entitled simply “Busy”, is a chill pop record with sweet synths, sparkly guitar lines, and a message about being so caught up in the constant millennial-grind for success that the important people and things in life fall by the wayside. It’s not quite summer yet, but this tune is getting me primed for chill hangs in the backyard or at the beach. Definitely going on the daytime jams playlist! Go peep!

In a stunning, synergistic collaboration UK producer CUB teams up with Clara Hurtado from The Voice UK to unveil “Don’t Wanna Know.” Inspired by the likes of Mark Ronson and Zedd, CUB is in the pioneering stages of his syrupy, electro-pop career.

TIM ATLAS - COMPROMISED (CHRISTOFI REMIX)

We love a good remix over here at Beautiful Buzzz. Other music blogs can sometimes be picky about their selections and refuse to post remixes, but we just love it when a producer reimagines a classic track and infuses some new flavor. It’s especially great when they’re able to preserve the essence of what made the original awesome while simultaneously introducing a whole new aesthetic. This latest reimagining comes from two artists who are no stranger to BB: indie soul crooner Tim Atlas and electronic producer Christofi. Both pals from California, Atlas decided to enlist Christofi to deliver his own dance-oriented take on “Compromised” — Atlas’ most popular original to date which has racked up over 13M streams on Spotify. The remix adds lush chords, toe-tapping percussion, and a bright synth lead that readies this track for any dance floor or festival stage. You’ll definitely want to add this one to your party playlists and blast it at your next pregame (or 3am afterparty to annoy the hell out of your roommates if you live in a house like mine).

AJ SALVATORE - ALONE (FEAT. HARLEY BIRD & VALENTINA FRANCO)

Despite being relatively new to the dance music scene, AJ Salvatore is making stealthy gains in early, yet pioneering career. Garnering notoriety from Huffington Post and a slew of other heavy-hitting publications with only four releases under his belt, AJ Salvatore went on to find a home with HERO Records under the SONY umbrella. His latest release, “Alone” boasts features from vocalists Harley Bird and Valentina Franco, building an intellectual, artistic-powerhouse framework. Delicate harmonies, and electro alt-pop production coincide seamlessly, giving breath the breezy cadences that define its very mantra. Stitched with delicacy, and a powerful, poetic message, “Alone” is a piece that will help define AJ Salvatore’s lasting legacy in dance music.
