The Neighbbourhood made their TV debut this week performing “Sweater Weather” and “Female Robbery” on Last Call with Carson Daly at LA’s El Rey Theatre. Makes me think about the N*Sync sized crowd they would bring to Times Square if TRL was around…RIP.
Jez Dior’s newest “Hide” is an affecting rap song with lyrics streamlined over R&B fuzzed beats. The melody is reminiscent of 90′s R&B which might be why I like it so much. Grooved with biographical lyrics and moody, vulnerable visuals that arose out of a spontaneous shoot, “Hide” is a satiable single that I’ve had on [...]
A$AP Mob and ASF representatives A$AP Ty Beats and Dom McLennon join THEBLKHANDS to rap about how they will both inflict harm on us and hang around our girls. I love the wavy treatment and the slow-mo on what would appear to be the artists jumping on an out-of-frame trampoline. “Majestic” is off the New [...]
MS MR is a hugely rising and well-documented favorite artist of mine for their dark and spooky glitch pop. Their music is dark and moody and transcendent into the dark part of all of us. when I met member Lizzy Plapinger – she was the embodiment of everything MS MR’s music is not – sunny, bubbly [...]
Clips of Lana Del Rey looking young and beautiful meshed with nostalgic orechestra clips is everything I would’ve expected/hoped for in the video for “Young and Beautiful” off of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby Soundtrack. Love you, Lana. <3 Buy the soundtrack available now on iTunes with some songs streaming on Spotify.
A$AP Rocky is famous and this documentary will let you know how he got there. If you ask me, I’d only be interested if we get to see his shenanigans. Anyway, this could be an interesting doc. We’ll keep an eye out for you.
Pusha T grimaces and nods his head like he’s trying to shake fleas off, but ignore that, because his phenomenal single, “Numbers on the Boards”, finally has video treatment. Check for some choice cameos and prepare yourself for My Name is My Name, due out July 16th.
Rad Reef representative Zachg drops off this trippy video for “Mountain Aint Heavy” from his 2012 project “Mostly Power”. I’m sitting here at my desk wishing I had drugs to take, which I think is the highest compliment one can give a music video or song. I’ve personally followed Zachg on Twitter for awhile and [...]
Hunter Hunted released an EPin March and now has an official video for their single ”End of the World” that brings to life the EP’s cover art. I am loving this band’s aptitude for infectious indie rock reminiscent of The Format and Carolina Liar. Watch the video and check out my personal favorite song from their EP “Operating” [...]
I am so into New York duo ASTR and their swamp-synth (© Fader) song “Operate.” Now the song gets a video treatment that is as spooky and intriguing as the song (and a lot like American Horror Story Season 2). Featuring the duo and desolate retro images contribute to the song’s ability to conjure feelings of [...]
Next time there’s a video with Future, Birdman, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Paris Hilton in it we’ll make sure not to wait a few days to post. Worst blog ever!!! Hannah Lux Davis directed it. Nicki killed it (eat that pusssyyyyyyyyyyy). Rich Gang gives Hit Boy a run for his money for most unnecessary [...]
Rule of thumb: If you sample Brenda Russell’s “A Little Bit of Love,” your song has a 75 percent chance of being a hit. It worked for Big Pun and Joe, and such is the case for 19-year-old Ariana Grande. “The Way” (Currently sitting at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100) is the lead [...]
