Everyone always speculates what the songs of a given summer will be, but DJ Earworm is here to define them... with his official Summer 2013 mix!
It's not my most favorite mix from him, but maybe because there's a couple songs I was trying to figure out throughout it. Either way, what he does with these is still freaking impressive to me. There's a lot of thought in there, and I appreciate it!
FYI, these are the songs:
Armin van Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie - This Is What It Feels Like
Bastille - Pompeii
Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams- Get Lucky
Demi Lovato - Heart Attack
Icona Pop feat .Charlie XCX - I Love It
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton - Can't Hold Us
Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera - Feel This Moment
Y'all, get ready! 98 Degrees is back with a new single and they're all grown up and ready to talk about SEX!
Okay, they probably talked all about sex in the 90s too, but I was way too innocent to know such things. But like... this song... about "microphones," is a boy band version of Lollipop or Whistle. [It takes 12 seconds to start]
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it's the best song ever because it's obviously not, but I DO like it! And I think it's better than most people/groups' comeback songs! Plus... it's dirty. Everyone likes a dirty song, even if it seems to be missing a couple lyrics.
FINALLY all of this talk about No Doubt coming out with new music is no longer just talk, hopes, and dreams! The day is here, their new single is released, so let's freaking listen!
Yes, it's very long, but the 4 minutes in the middle are full of No Doubt goodness. When I first started listening I wasn't loving it, but give it another 30 seconds and I'm giddy about hearing Gwen Stefani's voice again and totally singing along.
All of these groups and people who are able to come back and make new music that reflects their sound while still evolving with the times are amazing me, and I'm loving it!
What do you think about it? Disappointed or totally worth the wait??
They're teaming up again! And just like I was super excited for Nelly and Kelly Rowland's second team-up, I had high expectations for this song!
Problem is, it's always going to be hard to live up to a classic song when it's more than 10 years later.
Still, this song isn't terrible at all. It's definitely not something I'm immediately falling in love with, but it's enjoyable. It's more along the lines of Beyonce's "Irreplaceable."
Take a listen for yourself:
What do you think? Love it or hate it?
It'll be on both of their albums, coming out this year! Yay!
It's time for the first Tunes on Tuesday of 2012! You ready for some new music now that the artists will be stepping up their game again?
Foster the People--> Don't Stop
It's very consistent with their sound, and I'm pretty sure this song is on a commercial, right? I like it better than "Pumped Up Kicks" to be honest.
Kelly Clarkson--> Stronger
Also in a commercial! I love this song, though. It's very reminiscent of old K-Clark and a lot of fun and powerful.
Ali Lee--> Keep It Right There
It's fun, but I don't see it being huge. Then again, I could be wrong. It is a new year, time for new peeps?
Adam Lambert--> Better Than I Know Myself
It's probably my favorite, or one of, when it comes to Adam Lambert. It's definitely catchy, and his fans are behind it pushing hard.
Demi Lovato--> Give Your Heart a Break
When I tested this on air, people loved it! Even anti-Demi people said it was catchy, and I agree! It's definitely the same pop-y sound, but I've always liked that. I guess that's when I show my girl-side.
Dev ft. Enrique Iglesias--> Naked
I like the build up in the beginning, and overall it's a fun song, but I don't think it'll be as big as either of their others.
Flo Rida--> Wild Ones
I think I like all of Flo Rida's songs, but the girl singing the hook has a really pretty voice. I enjoy.
Graffiti6--> Free
It's a very soothing song, that's for sure. I don't know how it'll fit with all of the other songs on the radio, but I really don't mind having it on.
Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars--> Mirror
It's a great, meaningful song.. but hott damn, it's slow. Too slow.
Train--> Drive By
If you like Train, you'll like this song. It's cheesy, but it's catchy and fun and cute.
And the one everyone has been talking about this week, Jay Z's adorable song for baby Blue Ivy, "Glory."
Since I haven't been able to catch ya up in a couple weeks, there's definitely a lot! Enjoy!
There hasn't been a whole lot of new music beyond a couple per week, and some Christmas stuff.. but here's a catch up of what's coming soon to your favorite radio station! [Hopefully I haven't posted some of these already. I can't keep track anymore since I do a new song on my show every night!]
Childish Gambino--> Heartbeat
He's different, and I LOVE him on Community and as an actor/comedian in general, so I'm totally rooting for him.
Dev ft. Fabolous--> Kiss My Lips
Drake ft. Nicki Minaj--> Make Me Proud
Ellie Goulding--> Lights
Eva ft. Tyga--> Body on Mine
Mike Posner--> Looks Like Sex
Sean Paul--> She Doesn't Mind
Any that you love or hate? Let me know! I don't think any of them really blew me away after a couple listens.
Well, I'm just going to be real honest here.... As always... I can't concentrate to save a life tonight. SO... I'm just going to list out these songs for you to listen to. K? K. Forgive me.
Drake has teamed up with Rihanna again! "Take Care" has a completely different feel than "What's My Name," but it's not bad.
[FYI: It keeps getting taken down from YouTube. I'll fix it every time I catch it, but lemme know if it stops working! :)]
I'm not obsessed with it, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Considering they're both huge names, it's pretty much guaranteed to be huge, right?
Completely forgot last week, I'm SORRY! But I'm back on my meds and remembering things so let's holla at some new music!
Young the Giant--> Cough Syrup
It's very Coldplay. It's different, it's chill, it's not my style, but I feel like it could to pretty well. We shall see.
Erin Bowman--> Problem
It's definitely the typical "beginner's pop song." I think she has a lot of potential, and I definitely like it, so we'll see where she runs with it.
Lady Gaga--> Marry the Night
I feel the same about this song as all of her other recent songs. It's meh at first listen, but it could grow on me. I'm sure it'll have to. Listeners love it.
Guinevere--> Crazy Crazy
I would say it's different, but every girl is trying to be different now. I don't mind it, but I don't know if it'll take off.
Freesol ft. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE--> Role Model
I don't remember if I posted this last time or not, but if you haven't heard this song yet, GET EXCITED. It single-handedly made this post worth your time. Justin Timberlake is rapping, and I love it. So does the rest of the world.
Here are some I didn't wanna waste your time with, but you can look em up if you want: Days Difference- Down With Me Big Time Rush- Music Sounds Better With U Justin Reynolds- Runaway
COUNTRY MUSIC, real quick:
Love and Theft--> Angel Eyes
The Farm--> Home Sweet Home
Gloriana--> [Kissed You] Goodnight
And that's all I got! Lots of new names tonight! Lemme know your thoughts!
Um, HELL YES I'm still a Day26 fan! I've been keeping a close eye on their Twitter waiting for the day they put out a new song, and now they have!
For those of you who loved them as much as me, or still do, here's "Made Love Lately."
I just love their voices. I immediately get happy hearing them again. It doesn't hit as hard as some of their first songs, but each time I listen to it, I love it more.
New album coming soon they say, called "A New Day," without Que.
NOT FORGETTING! It's time for new music! [But BTW- Every night on my show I premiere a new song... follow @HOTHits1005 to get the new song every day!]
Howie D--> Lie To Me
Yes, Howie from the Backstreet Boys. It's just like most of these guys' songs when they go single. You'll probably like it if you love boy bands, but it's not enough to stand out in my opinion.
Maverik--> All Night
Apparently this dude is a jock on some radio station... and yet it's better than a lot of the trash we get. I guess he does know what it takes to make a good beat, though. Doubt it'll take off [it's not THAT good], but ya never know.
Tinie Tempah--> Pass Out
If there's anything I like this week, it's probably this one. It's typical, but it's what works.
Wiz Khalifa ft. Bruno Mars and Snoop Dogg
I think it's a fun song for college students or anyone who's just young and doesn't give an F. The chorus is an anthem of sorts for it. I was definitely singing along. Woops.
Far East Movement ft. Rye Rye--> Jello
Their songs are always weird to me, and not in the cool LMFAO way. I think it'll grow on me, but I don't love it on first listen.
Chris Brown ft. Kevin McCall--> Strip
Well, I love Chris Brown.. so of course I like this one. Duh. I also like sexy songs, but apparently so does the entire country.
That's really it for tonight! COMPLETELY different line-up than last week's, so hopefully people are feeling a little better about the pop music we have to look forward to if you like the rhythmic stuff more. Maybe.
love, elizabethany
Oh and PS: Here's Justin Bieber's newly released video for "Mistletoe," his cute and dapper Christmas song.
Tuesdays creep up on me these days, but I didn't forget this time!
How 'bout some new music!
Anjulie--> Brand New Bitch
I kinda really love this one. I normally like girl anthems, so maybe that's no surprise, but it's upbeat and fun for fall. Listeners disagreed, but what do they know anyway?! [Sorry, I didn't mean that.......]
The Cab--> Bad
BEAUTIFUL song! I love it. I may have had low expectations, but that's beside the point. It's good.
Avril Lavigne--> Wish You Were Here
She has stayed pretty close to her typical sound even after so much time off, and I think it's still going to work.
Outasight--> Tonight is the Night
Listeners seemed to like it. It's got a fun beat, and it's definitely likable, just not my favorite.
I won't waste your time with:
We the Kings- Say You Like Me
Mayra- Freak Like Me
Evanescence- My Heart is Broken
And that's that for this week! I think it's obvious which way this fall/winter will go music wise based on these releases, eh?!
Let's be honest: Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" was a guilty pleasure that we'll look back on and think "what the F were we thinking blasting that?!" But it was SOOO GOOD!
Plus- an 8 year old with a song like that? I mean, duh.. Of course it's going to be popular.
Now she's on song #3, featuring superstar Nikki Minaj...
Yeah, it's just as annoying as "Whip My Hair," but unfortunately the novelty of the annoying 8 or 9 year old girl has worn off a little.
She's hella talented, but I don't think I'll want to hear this more than once.
Somehow I completely forgot to do this post last week! Forgive me! Your girl is still homeless and getting settled in this new town.
Michelle Branch--> Loud Music
It's very Michelle Branch, and for that- I'm not mad. I enjoy her.
Joe Jonas ft. Lil Wayne--> Just in Love
It's not as "bad" as you'd imagine from a JoBro... it's super catchy and very reminiscent of the early 2000s. I don't think it'll hit the top of the charts, but it might be heard quite a bit.
Katy Perry--> The One That Got Away
She's lookin' to shatter records with this album. This is single #6 that has a pretty good chance at #1. Listeners loved it, and I kinda do too.
Bruno Mars--> It Will Rain
It's from the upcoming Twilight movie soo... FAIL. Just kidding. It's alright.
Steve Hott--> Here For You
Cool name, duder. It's a little Daughtry-esque, without the big American Idol name standing behind him. I definitely don't hate it, but I don't know how it'll do.
BoB ft. Lil Wayne--> Strange Clouds
The bass is a little obnoxious, but I like BoB. Maybe it'll sound better on better speakers... or something...
Taio Cruz ft Flo Rida--> Hangover
If I had a hangover and this song came on, I'd throw my stereo out the window old school style. It's fun, it'll definitely be fun to dance to, but heyzeus they're going for the Katy Perry TGIF sound and it's not working for a "Hangover."
Oh, this is incredible. Betty White is like a born again woman in the recent years!
I don't know if she should have taken it this far, but I'm not going to lie... I fully enjoyed listening to this song and pumping my fists to it at 8am.
The gal joins Luciana to declare that She's Still Hot!
Freaking. Hysterical.
Apparently it's an advertisement for Lifeline insurance, but WHO CARES?!
They've even got a "life changing" video to accompany it this week. You bet your bottom dollar I'll post it!
Check out their new single, "Lost in Space" and tell me what you think about it!
It seems a little *meh* to me, but maybe that's because I want my 90s back. Ginger coworker Corey says it sounds like a Jay Sean song, so maybe that's a good thing radio-wise. We shall see!
It's baacckkkk!!! FINALLY! I think the #1 complaint I get when I go on hiatus is that people don't get their new music. Well, here ya go! I'm makin' it quick without opinions so I can fit more in a little bit of time! Enjoy!
Lil Wayne feat. Bruno Mars- Mirror
Coldplay- Paradise
Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull--> I Like How It Feels
Jay Sean ft. Lupe Fiasco--> Say Yeah
Red Hot Chili Peppers--> The Adventures of Raindance Maggie
The Wanted--> I'm Glad You Came
Kelly Clarkson--> Mr. Know It All
Jessie J--> Domino
Demi Lovato ft. Missy Elliott--> All Night Long
And that's a wrap for new Top 40 stuff! What ya likin'? Is it gonna be a good winter of music? Let me know your thoughts!
