Brooke Duff – Live (Loyal Sessions)

 in POP

I first heard of Brooke Duff from her cameo on the K.One track “Same You”. I looked into her other music, and while it’s generally a bit too fluffy-pop for my taste, the tracks are certainly catchy, and I actually enjoy them in this live setting. Sure it’s pop of the somewhat corny variety, but it’s a guilty pleasure of mine and I think she should get some appreciation outside of New Zealand. I skipped the video ahead to the last of three songs, if you like it, scroll the video back and check out the previous two. Oh, and grab a couple tracks here.

3LAU – How You Love Me

 in HOUSE, NEW MUSIC, POP

I actually heard the acoustic version of “How You Love Me” first, which I’m happy about, because I may have dismissed the track initially otherwise. Regardless, I’ve respected 3LAU for years for his beautiful mashups and I’m happy this St. Louis dj is gaining ground doing original productions these days, despite the fact that they are not really my favorite genre: electro house/pop. Despite that, I do respect his production skills and the way he’s risen from mashup artist to respected producer/dj in his own right. The acoustic version of his recent electro/house track shows the dynamic abilities of this up-and-coming artist to the dance scene. Grab the acoustic version here, and the original here. I hope you enjoy playing the two tracks after each other and seeing the vast production skill that went into the creation of this dance hit.

The Ting Tings – Wrong Club

 in HOUSE, NEW MUSIC, POP

It’s a bit disco, a bit funk, and certainly has the potential to be one of those summer songs that just slowly creeps into your head and doesn’t leave. I’m enjoying it more and more after each listen, judge for yourself. Oh, and grab it free here.
