Posted by Middy on January 25, 2014
17 year old Boston, MA native, Andrew Cigna, known professionally as Cignature, makes his debut on FNT with a potent remix of Muse’s classic tune “Starlight”. Cignature combines a mix of cheery, blissful synth chords and a growling, thumping bass line to give the track a whole new upbeat feel that has seen radio play in Germany.

Albums, Alternative, Hip-Hop | Aer – Aer [Album]

Sitting pretty at the number 5 spot on iTunes top 10 album list, Aer’s self titled album might be taking noobs by storm, but it’s exactly what their loyal fan base has been anticipating. Covering all the bases, the 12-track project is diverse enough to fulfill multiple moods, but stays within the walls of Aer’s self constructed genre. Attributing their success to their organic word-of-mouth FAMily, David and Carter did spend a fair amount of time writing and recording in LA, but finished the album up in their hometown studio…David’s bedroom.
“In the hills or the valley, and were far from the finale, I want this so badly, no I won’t let go.”
Aside from their previously released singles (“Won’t Laugh”, “Spades, Clubs, & Diamonds”, and “Says She Loves Me”), my immediate favorites are “Pretty Lady”, “Stars” and “Movin’ It”. Recline, kick up your feet and enjoy this project while you support the dudes on iTunes.

Feast your eyes on Aer’s vibrant new video, “Says She Loves Me”. Snappy strums leads the beat while David and Carter relive their relationship experiences through punchy & quotable lyrics. This video turns back the clocks and unlocks the “bright on white” palette for our viewing pleasure – certainly a step outside of what we’re used to expecting from the Boston duo, but they play the part well. Grab the track below on iTunes and tune up for their self titled album dropping January 21st!

Posted by Grubeats on December 10, 2013
You don’t have to be Phil Helmuth to a fan of Aer’s newest single, “Spades, Clubs, & Diamonds”. Hell, you don’t even have to know how to play poker. This breezy new cut from the Boston duo strong on their come up is exactly what we expected; light, smooth, and blended with their signature sounds. David initiates the vocals, but Carter comes in soon after to deliver a very balanced piece of work. This track marks the second single off their forthcoming self-titled album due out 1/21/14. Grab this track for free when you pre-order the album, or purchase it solo on iTunes.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Gio Dee – Saturdayz (Prod By Muvafux)
Posted by VMan on December 10, 2013
Preparing for his upcoming album, “Fashionably Late 2”, Boston native Gio Dee releases visuals for “Saturdayz.” This is one of the tracks that didn’t make it onto his freshman tape back in 2011, “This Is Only The Beginning.” “Saturdayz” was shot entirely down in Philly during a recent performance down in the Keystone State and also some scenes were shot down in Atlanta during A3C. This is a must listen!

After lighting up the country with their Warning Signs tour, Timeflies will be back in the studio, clocking the hours (pun intended) for their debut full length album. I can’t speak first hand on every tour stop, but based on their performance in Boston, it’s without question the level of production going into each and every one of their live shows has skyrocketed since the last time I saw them. Lights, fog, more lights, huge sound, energy, live freestyles, and much more of everything on an even larger scale.
The video above is a compilation, chopped up and blended together by Mike O’Brien Films, of several live performances of their radio ready single, “SMFWU”. Without question a fan favorite anthem off of their recent EP, Warning Signs, but this visual gives you an idea of how live these shows get.
Grab the EP below and check out a few photos from Timeflies homecoming show in Boston.

It’s been a few since Northeast duo, Aer, hit us with a new track. While their good vibes, string riffs, & carpe diem lyrics are often associated with “summer music”, “Won’t Laugh” carries their sound through all four seasons. The almost tribal toned intro rings us in, as David picks up the guitar and carries the hook while Carter lays down a few noteworthy verses; “Now you wonder why I wouldn’t trade my life with you, Why?! Cuz you hang the same keys from the same hook every afternoon, My angels lookin down upon me from a great view, they got my back but they hate you”. ‘Do what you love, love what you do’ mentality.
Soaring high, it’s safe to say these guys will be raising the bar on their self entitled album due out January 21st!
