Mayer Hawthorne | I Need You [Audio]

July 30th, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section //

Ever since seeing Mayer Hawthrone perform at The Roots festival this year, I’ve have had a new respect for the man. In fact, the same thing happen when I saw Santigold perform last year. You appreciate their music just a bit more. Well while you countdown the time to this weekend, turn up the volume on Hawthorne’s latest, I Need You.

Produced by Nottz. Check the what Hawthorne said about the song below.

Kisses who you remember was a favorite of our readers with there track “Bermuda,” returns with a very impressive follow up single “People Can Do The Most Amazing Things.” We’re a bit anxious to see what else the couple consisting of Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmunson will put out when the full length drops in the Fall. Perfect track to chill out to on those hot Summer nights.

One of the first tracks to leak off of Kanye West’s upcoming mixtape, G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape, features Mr. Hudson. Love Never Dies isn’t the typical Mr. Hudson track, it has a dubstep sound and late night glow stick feel to it.

G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape has no official release date, however, Straight No Chaser is in stores now.

Lissie- “Bully” [Video]

July 30th, 2010 // No Comments » // Video //

Lissie releases the visuals for her new single “Bully,” from the fascinating debut “Catching A Tiger.” Although this is an odd pick (track wise) for a video, and Lissie is more Sheryl Crow than anything, it’s still a fun song and should do well over here in the states.

Laws background is pretty impressive and we can guarantee he’ll be next in line as a breakout artist. Already a top priority for super producers J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, the future is looking VERY bright for the Florida native. Enjoy the 9th wonder track “Shining” below.

No we’re not late with this introduction of Tokyo quartet The Suzan we actually were waiting to get our hands on there new single (released this week) “Home.” Catchy pop tunes go a far way………just ask Peter Bjorn and John who’s working on there debut. Not sure what to expect from a full length, but this is quite the track to get your weekend started early. Just keep the dancing to a minimum.
