Jamiroquai - White Knuckle Ride

Jamiroquai hasn't scored a U.S. hit since the 90's, but that hasn't stopped him from recording and touring around the world. White Knuckle Ride has his signature retro groove that makes you wanna dance! His new album is titled Rock Dust Light Star and is out this November.

Tinchy Stryder feat. Taio Cruz - Second Chance (UK)

T&T are doing a follow up to the hit single Take Me Back, which went to #3 in the UK back in the winter of 2009. Since then, Taio "The Man In Black" Cruz, has conquered America & Tinchy has earned two #1's of his own. The new single is out November 8th.

Labrinth - Let The Sun Shine (UK)

This dude is so in demand right now in the UK music scene! After producing two hits for Tinie Tempah, Labrinth is set to release his debut single, Let The Sun Shine, next week. He is the newest signing on Simon Cowell's record label. I instantly liked the song when I first heard it. I expect a top 5 chart placement.

Sunday Girl covers 'TiK ToK'

I've been digging Sunday Girl since she released her first single, Four Floors, back in the spring. She's got a nice voice on her and after hearing several covers of this song in the past year, I can say this is one of my favorite efforts.

I Blame Coco - In Spirit Golden (UK)


I just can't get over how much Coco sounds like her dad, Sting! Quicker was originally supposed to be released as the next single but has been swapped for In Spirit Golden. I don't mind 'cause they're both great tracks. Her debut album, The Constant, is out in the UK on November 8th.

Sleigh Bells - Infinity Guitars

Sleigh Bells "Infinity Guitars" from Phil Pinto on Vimeo.

For some reason I always get kinda angry-happy listening to Sleigh Bells. Dunno why, guess it's just that kinda noise pop that conjures those emotions. Anywho, here's the intense new video for their single off their debut album.

Miami Horror feat. MAI - Echoplex (AUS)

Echoplex from Miami Horror on Vimeo.

Just weeks after releasing the video for the single, 'I Look to You', Miami Horror have released a video for the track 'Echoplex'. Both the video and song are dreamy and slightly sexy. MAI's vocals are hypnotic!

Eliza Doolittle - Rollerblades (UK)

2010 has been a great year for Eliza. Her debut album and most recent single 'Pack Up' lit up the UK charts this summer and spent several weeks in the top 10. Her videos seem to always feature her strolling through interesting locales and Rollerblades is no different.

Chiddy Bang - The Good Life

The boys from Philly are back with their 3rd single from their upcoming debut album 'The Preview'. It seems they're finally starting to make an impact in the States after success earlier this year in the UK & Australia. Swelly! Swelly!

Aeroplane - Superstar (BEL)

What quirky, fun contraptions being utilized as fashion! It's got a 70's piano pop feel along with a robotic autontune. Me likey!

Professor Green feat. Example - Monster (UK)

Just in time for Halloween! It's Pro Green's third single from his debut album. The video is set in some kind of fun house of horrors. Green pokes fun at fellow pop stars Jade Ewen, Pixie Lott, and Peter Andre, all of whom it turns out, are pals of his.

The Arrows - Lovesick (SA)

The duo of Pam & Christie are based in Durban, South Africa and released their debut album 'Make Believe' earlier this year. They experiment with pop, electronic, and jazz sounds and have spent some time in 2010 touring the States and Europe.

Chris Sorbello - Dangerzone (AUS)

This is a return single for Chris. It's an electro dance-pop stomper with plenty of 80's synths infused. The video's got some comic book interpretations and was filmed at the Ritz-Carlton in Sydney.

Kelly Rowland - Forever And A Day

kelly rowland "forever and a day" from Robin Frank on Vimeo.

This is the follow up to her hit UK/European single 'Commander'; one of my favorite tracks from this summer. It was a smart move musically and career wise to collaborate with David Guetta. 2010-2011 is Kelly's time to shine. Back off, B!

Pixie Lott - Broken Arrow (UK)


This is the 1st single from the re-packaging of her platinum selling debut album. I think I've developed a slight crush on Miss Lott in the past year. Gorgeous voice!

The Saturdays - Higher (UK)

There's just something so joyous, fun, and silly about this video/track. Really uplifting! The official Flo-Rida single version isn't that bad either. The Saturdays feat. Flo-Rida

Rihanna - Who's That Chick


I liked her last record, Rated R, but I gotta say that I'm kind of glad that she's moved on from her gun licking phase and just wants the world to have a good time and dance.

Talay Riley - Humanoid (UK)

The debut single from the guy who wrote Chipmunk's #1 UK hit, 'Oopsy Daisy'.

Super8 & Tab feat. Jan Burton - Empire (FIN)

Life is a game, people. Do you know how to play?

First Aid Kit - Ghost Town (SWE)

These two teenage sisters have consistently amazed me with their vocal quality and pensive lyrics.

Mark Ronson & The Business INTL - The Bike Song

I like how this is a continuation of the video for 'Bang Bang Bang'. You can definitely feel the retro influences.

Dominique Young Unique - The World Is Mine

18 year old MC outta Tampa. Love her attitude and playfulness! 'Been around the world like a bad chick!'

Marina & The Diamonds - Shampain (UK)

This is Marina's fourth single from her debut album. The video was inspired by Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.

Clare Maguire - Ain't Nobody (UK)

So chilling! So haunting! Kinda reminds of Florence & The Machine, which is a good thing.

Miami Horror feat. Kimbra - I Look To You (AUS)

They have such a great funky sound and 20 year old Kimbra is a talented newcomer. I wonder if this video was shot in the outback. Trippy!

Charlotte Church - Back to Scratch (UK)

 Return single from the young opera singer turned pop act. Out October 25th.

OK, here goes nothing!

So, I have always loved music and have a knack on coming across really interesting, entertaining stuff from around the world. I figured after all these years it was time to start one of these. OK, enjoy! Peace!
