RnB | Sia ft. The Weeknd & Diplo – Elastic Heart
Posted by VMan on October 1, 2013
Straight off the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, “Elastic Heart” by Sia featuring The Weeknd and Diplo. This track is super dope, what a great collaboration! Diplo delivers with his reggae infused production, and Sia and The Weeknd do their thing on it! From the looks of it the whole Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack is going to be jam packed with tracks by Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, Lorde, Santigold, Of Monsters and Men, Lumineers and more! This one is a must listen!
Chill, RnB | Blood Orange – Chamakay
Posted by VMan on September 30, 2013
Not sure where Blood Orange came from, but I’m glad I listened to “Chamakay” this morning, it’s been on repeat all day! The man behind this New Wave RnB/Soul record is Dev Hynes who has written songs for the Chemical Brothers, Florence and the Machines, and Solange Knowles. His Wikipedia page also mentions that he is working with Britney Spears on her 8th album. Not sure how that will translate, but one thing’s for certain I love this sound, and I look forward to hearing more of his solo work! Hate to make the comparison, but if you like The Weeknd, you’re going to like this record! Must Listen!

Hip-Hop, RnB | GoldLink – On&On (prod. Kaytranada)
Posted by admin on August 31, 2013
I could say a lot about GoldLink: his versatility, his originality, his personality, and most of all his music, or you could just listen to “On&On” and find out for yourself. This record differs quite a bit from his previous song “Electronic Relaxation“, however, the R&B vibe makes it instantly memorable.
Enjoy, and be sure to follow GoldLink on Souncloud to keep up with all of the new music.
Ambient, Chill, RnB | Atlantic Connection – Astronomy EP
Posted by J-Tiffy on August 22, 2013
Atlantic Connection has put together an EP of great songs of is and has released it as a free download. The EP contains 5 songs that range from chill R&B/Hip-Hop beats, to extremely chill ambient jams. His music is soulful and puts out all around feel good vibes. The project showcases his production strength and range, as well as being an entertaining listen. Fans of Grimblee, MiMoSA or the like should eat this up, but I highly recommend that regardless of your musical taste you at least give the 10 minute sampler of the EP (below) a listen.
Chill, RnB | Joel Compass – Astronaut (Ghost Loft Remix)
Posted by VMan on July 26, 2013
Wow, what a find! UK R&B singer Joel Compass’ latest single “Astronaut” just received a remix treatment by Ghost Loft and it’s impeccable. No other word. I’m out here at the airport, about to catch a plane for some R&R in the South of France, and I feel like I’m already off the ground. This track is a must listen, and it’s a bummer we have to wait till September 2nd for Joel to release this single off his EP Astronaut, but for now we’ll enjoy this SoundCloud stream! And thank you Ghost Loft for that free ticket to space! Look forward to more collaborations from these two dope artists! Reminds me of the vocalist/producer tandem Usher/Diplo…
Pop, RnB | Chaka Khan ft Lecrae – It’s Not Over
Posted by VMan on July 22, 2013
This might be a first for Fresh New Tracks, but I’m a fan of this record, and felt the need to share. Chaka Khan is a legend, and this track is just too dope. If only Kanye used another sample of hers on Yeezus, like he did with “Through the Wire,” maybe it would have sold more copies, and gone more mainstream, but not my problem at the moment… Chaka Khan still has it and I’m loving it! LeCrae is the man as well, he hops on this track with that TI swag, that Drake flow, and keeps it all positive. So if you’re feeling down, and you want some uplifting music, this track is a Must Listen!

And on another note, New York City’s own DJ Prime sent over this remix the other day for his latest single “So Fly” featuring Oh Snap!! , and it’s been creeping up on me. Suraci turned this radio pop banger into a sexy club track for the Summer. I strongly suggest you check this track out. Nothing but a good time!
