Mike Posner - Please Don't Go

Interesting fact: Mike Posner was frat brothers at Duke with one of my high school classmates. Cooler Than Me has been a major hit worldwide and this is the follow up single off Mike's debut album, 31 Seconds To Takeoff.

MNEK - Fairground (Simply Red Refix) (UK)

MNEK may only be in high school, but this British 16 year old has already gotten the attention of some influential names in the music industry. The kid is talented and has a real ear for producing tracks that are dance floor ready. Case in point, his recent tweaking of Simply Red's 1995 hit single, Fairground. To say that MNEK has a bright future ahead of him would be quite the understatement.

Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

Rihanna is back with a new album this fall and her first single off of it, which is already getting tons of radio play. After exploring some darker themes with her last album, RiRi is ready for a little more lighthearted fare and to get listeners onto the dance floor.

Example - Two Lives (UK)

Example has had a very successful year with a string of hits in the top 40 and with Two Lives it looks like that winning streak will continue. It's a slower track than some of the MC's other offerings, but I can really feel the emotion in the lyrics. Two Lives is out November 15th in the UK.

Duffy - Well Well Well

The Welsh singer who hit it big around the world back in 2008 is back with her sophomore album, Endlessly, and its 1st single, Well Well Well. I quited enjoyed Duffy's soulful, high pitched vocals and it's good to see her back in fighting form.

Hurts - Stay (UK)

Hurts is one of the most acclaimed bands to debut in the United Kingdom this year with their album, Happiness. They just ooze cool and their productions are seemingly flawless. Stay is their latest single and is a big 80's style power ballad.

Ciara - Gimmie Dat

Ciara's current album campaign has felt a little bit disjointed, but I can't deny that she's bringing the beats and the sexy with all of her releases so far. The dance moves in this video are FIRE!

Freemasons feat. Wynter Gordon - Believer

The Freemasons always have the most amazing dance remixes and Believer is their latest single featuring American artist, Wynter Gordon. This has all the right pieces that are necessary for a proper dance floor filler. Very club ready!

Kelis - Scream

Kelis-Scream from TheBombShit on Vimeo.
Scream is the 3rd single from Kelis' latest album Flesh Tone. With this LP, Kelis has indeed gone the club/dance route and her visual presentation has followed suit. I for one like to see an artist evolve. 

Kate Nash - Later On (UK)

Kate says the inspiration behind this video was an Australian horror film that she saw involving teens at a party. Later On is the 3rd single from the album My Best Friend Is You. I saw Kate perform back in 2008 and hope to catch her in concert this fall.

The Wanted - Heart Vacancy (DJs From Mars Remix) (UK)

The Wanted are the newest boy band on the pop scene and Heart Vacancy is their 2nd single from their debut album. They already scored a #1 single this summer with the song, All Time Low. I quite like this dance remix. There's something really simple and kinda nostalgic about it.

McFly feat. Taio Cruz - Shine A Light (UK)

I was certain I wasn't gonna like this track because I'm not really a McFly fan, but I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up really liking it! I'm gonna give most of the credit to Taio Cruz, though. He's impressed me alot recently as a pop songwriter/producer. McFly's new album, Above The Noise, is out November 15th in the UK.
