Progressive House | Ellie Goulding – Hanging On (Moiez Extended Remix)

Posted by on July 15, 2012

Though Moiez is just 20 and has only been seriously producing for a bit over a year, his sound has a level of maturity that you would find in renowned veterans of the game. Moiez continues his recent string of originals and remixes with the recent Ellie Goulding single “Hanging On” with Tinie Tempah (though he is absent in the remix) and though it is slightly unfair to remix an Ellie Goulding track because her voice makes remixes so easy, he creates melodies that generate a new level of emotion in the track. The track starts slow with a soft piano melody, steady bass line and Ellie Goulding’s angelic vocals and then adds blissful synth chords with a thumping bass line that takes the track to another stratosphere.

Electronic, Girl Fire, Pop | Ellie Goulding – Hanging On (feat. Tinie Tempah)

Posted by on July 10, 2012

Let me level with you: I’ve got a serious girl crush on Ellie Goulding. I love her music, I love her style, I love the fact that she’s a badass runner and I love what she does with her hair. Still, I’m always freshly taken aback every time she comes out with a new release. Her unique talent has a way of catching me off guard and reasserting itself whenever I listen to one of her songs for the first time. And today was one of those moments: her stunning, emotional collaboration with Tinie Tempah, which just dropped a few hours ago and which will presumably be featured on her upcoming album, is pretty much guaranteed to give you chills and tug at your heart strings. Ellie’s distinctive voice is positively otherworldly on those high notes and I’m loving the way the chilled-out bass gets intense after the drop in the chorus. Check out “Hanging On” below and pick up the free download through Soundcloud’s email unlock program.

Sidenote: not really sure what Tinie Tempah is doing on this — I’m pretty ambivalent about his verse and think it detracts from the ethereal vibe of the song…but whatever. Viva Ellie.

Pop, Videos | Chris Brown x Rihanna, Eric Turner

If you’ve been reading the tabloids the past few days you may have seen the rumors floating around that Chris Brown and Rihanna have/will reunite.  RiRi celebrated her 24th birthday with a celeb packed private party at her Hollywood mansion over the weekend and after some complications getting legal permission to enter, Breezy made his way in to share a slice of Rihanna’s cake.  In addition, Missing Info has confirmed Chris Brown has recorded both a rap verse and a singing verse for the official remix to Rihanna’s single “Birthday Cake” off Talk That Talk.  The song is only 1:18 minutes long right now and almost seems like Rihanna has had this planned for longer than we think.  Monday, Rihanna’s birthday, has potential to ignite a storm of criticism towards Rihanna from the same people who despise CB after he beat Rihanna back in ’09.  At the end of the day, all personal BS aside, if this remix really does happen, it’s going to be a crazy song.

Had to share that, now for the video.  I knew this track was going to be a major hit right when it dropped.  I can’t say Breezy’s Grammy performance gave this track justice (vocally), but his acrobatic footwork was in full effect.  This video has a similar plot to “Yeah x3” where CB blocked off the street and ensued an electric dance festival.

Below is another track I’ve had in my library for several weeks now.  I overlooked it because I only had a radio rip, but I grabbed the CDQ yesterday, found the video, and had to share it.  Eric Turner, a pop singer/songwriter native to Boston linked up with Lupe and UK spitter Tinie Tempah for a catchy new radio jam.

Hip-Hop | Elite, J. Cole, Tinie Tempah

Posted by on November 30, 2011

Fresh off the release of his eye and ear opening mixtape, Awaken, Elite gives us a cut that didn’t quite make the cut for the mixtape.  I’m still completely blown away by the mixtape and it’s definitely among one of my favorite projects of 2011.  Expect more singles and bonus tracks dropping over the next several weeks and don’t expect Elite to slow down anytime soon.  The second track here is one which Elite featured a spot on D1‘s record.  D1’s smooth vocals coupled with Elite’s percussion backed verse make this another joint you don’t want to sleep on.

In addition to the above cuts from Dreamvillian, Elite, J. Cole recently featured on UK artist, Tinie Tempah’s single.  The track features another British artist, Wretch 32, and it’s not the first time we’ve heard from Cole and Tinie.

In the the past its been hard for me to get into British rappers, it just sorta sounded Ozzie Osborn blabbering to me. But I actually really like this track, not to mention that Wiz kills it on his parts.
