Mike Posner feat. Lil Wayne - Bow Chicka Wow Wow

With such a cheesy title that is synonymous with bad 70's porn, you would think this song would be outright terrible. But you know what, it's actually pretty smooth and has an endearing quality. The man from Duke and Weezy make a pretty good team.

Ke$ha - Blow

This has to be the funniest music video that has been released so far this year. We've got the queen of trashy pop cavorting at a dinner party with unicorns and engaging in a laser battle with TV star/Dawson's Creek alum, James van der Beek. Hilarity ensues big time! Blow is the second single from Ke$ha's Cannibal EP.

Jennifer Hudson - Where You At

After a tragic event just a few years ago, Jennifer Hudson is back with her new single and the album I Remember Me. This new period of her career will probably see Jennifer being triumphant and Where You At reminds us all why Jennifer has received all those accolades.

Sparkadia - China (AUS)

Sparkadia is actually one guy, but it used to be a bunch of people. Alex Burnett is the solo artist Sparkadia and his sophomore album The Great Impression is out later this year in Australia. The single China is an emotional piece of alternative pop rock.

Eva & The Heartmaker - Gone In A Flash (NOR)

Another band with a girl "& somebody else"? I know, I know, but trust me Eva & The Heartmaker are worth the listen. Bandmates Eva and Thomas make incredible 80's influenced pop melodies that could have been used by the likes of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Their new album Dominoes was released this month in their native Norway and I look forward to hearing more from this retro duo.

Mz Bratt - Get Dark (UK)

 

Pretty little lighty, but I can get dark. Mz Bratt is one of the biggest up and coming female MC's in the UK. Her flow and rhymes are sick. Get Dark is her new single. It's kick ass. Need I say more?

The Sound of Arrows - Nova (SWE)

The Sound of Arrows are a synth pop band out of Sweden consisting of Oskar & Stefan. They've been bubbling with the potential for big things since 2009 when their song Into The Clouds became an internet favorite. Last year they did a remix of GaGa's Alejandro which was one of my absolute favorites. Nova is from their upcoming and highly anticipated debut album.
