Avicii- X You (Official Video) World’s Largest Music Collaboration

The final product from the Avicii X You project was released earlier today. This was a major music collaboration from people all around the world contributing their own work.

What makes this video and song so unique is the amount of people involved in making it happen. The idea of being able to make something from thousands of contributions is truly remarkable.

Hearing this for the first time today it reminds us all how unifying music is and how it has the ability to cross boundaries and boarders. This song was created buy so many different people and now can be enjoyed by an even greater number of people.

Avicii is a gifted producer and this track is an amazing accomplishment. This isn’t something to be critiqued it should truly just be enjoyed!

Fall Out Boy is BACK! “Light Em Up” (Official Video)

Ok my level of excitement right now is off the charts! I really don’t even know where the excitement is coming from but it’s there. I think it is due largely in part to the video for “My Songs Know What Your Songs Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)” it so expertly plays up the anticipation of wanting to know what’s next for FOB. You don’t even see the band in the video but it makes you excited for what’s to come.

I love the image of the bonfire and burning of the old because it brings to mind that feeling that everything will be new again. The new album is called Save Rock and Roll and it will be out in May. The Tour will also kick off over the summer and will be making quite a few stops along the way including a stop in Austin, Texas! I have a strict rule not to see bands at Stubb’s in the summer because Texas summers are notoriously HOT seeing them in Dallas at the Palladium might be a better choice!

The new single is out on itunes now!

Justin Timberlake Suit & Tie (Feat. Jay-Z)

The internet blew up earlier this week when a cryptic Tweet from Justin Timberlake announced that at 9:01 PST he would be making some sort of announcement. After not having released any new music in 6 1/2 years the internet blew up with lots of speculation and the consensus seemed to be that a new song was going to be debuted for all his fans. Thursday came and went and the only release that came was a video clip eluding to the fact that he indeed was working on music and was collaborating with Timberland on an upcoming project. That didn’t really seem like news considering Timbaland had already previously stated that they were planning on working together. So many felt that Justin had “Punked the Internet” because there was no new music to be heard. Fast forward to this evening and now the wait is over…”Suit & Tie” Feat. Jay Z was released a little after 11 CST and is now a trending topic on twitter! So this is what everyone has been waiting for! The new Single is available for Download on itunes NOW! The  20/20 Experience will be the new album from Justin Timberlake!

Future “Fo Real” (feat. Drake) F.B.G. The Movie

This is a New release from Future that will be on his Mixtape Free Band Gang “F.B.G. The Movie that will be released this Sunday. This single  was released earlier today and seems to be getting great feed back from those who have heard it. The song “Fo Real” features Drake and so far has a perfect 5.0 rating on HipHopDX. The thing with future is you either love him or hate him. His Song “Turn On The Lights” was the number one hip-hop/rap song for a few weeks and the reviews were mixed. Some saw it as the downfall of a genre while others loved the song. I couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it. Then it was like the world got enough and it disappeared  Future released Pluto 3D in December a re-release of Pluto. The song “Fo Real” is already creating a buzz ahead of the mixtape. I’m interested to see what the overall feel of the Mixtape will be!

OneRepublic “Native” will be out March 26th

I’ve seen enough concerts to last a lifetime so when people ask me which ones are your favorite I have an automatic list that I go through. The ones that have stuck out in my memory tend to have special circumstances maybe I wasn’t supposed to get in or be there, or I came across it completely by accident, or it was because of the people I was with that made it memorable. OneRepublic is on my list because it was a last minute decision that even years later I’m so happy I did it. I saw them in 2008 at La Zona Rosa in Austin. TX. It was one of those life moments where you feel and know that for whatever reason you are in the right place at the right time. I had been obsessed with Dreaming Out Loud from the moment it came out.  The reason that this concert has always been so high on my list is because I was completely and utterly blown away. The musicianship of everyone in the band was nothing like I had ever experienced before.  Each member is so incredibly talented that they brought the performance to another level. They are each so skilled on so many different instruments that each song came to life in a way that I never expected. It truly was the most remarkable show I’ve seen.

Having said that I’m sure you can easily see why it is I’m so excited about the announcement of their upcoming album Native. I will be counting down the days until the new album drops! The cover art work is done and the first single has been chosen. It was a pretty unanimous decision that the first single would be “If I Lose Myself” which was performed on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. I look forward to them getting back on tour because if the opportunity presents itself I will be there again for sure!

Here’s the First Single off Native I hope you enjoy it!
