Frank Ocean released the official music video to one of the highlights off Channel Orange, “Pyramids” featuring John Mayer. Directed by Nabil, Pyramids is one of the trippiest music videos I’ve seen, featuring Frank Ocean driving a motorcycle across a desert and walking around a strip club. Then we find ourselves watching John Mayer perform…
Imagine Dragons- “It’s Time” (Passion Pit Remix)
by Anthony Porcelli •
I immediately got excited when I heard that Passion Pit remixed this song. Passion Pit is one of my favorite indie artists, and their electronic remixes never disappoint. “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons has been getting a lot of play on Alt Nation and other rock radio recently, and is a great, catchy, feel-good indie…
Music Video: Cris Cab ft. Big Sean- “Good Girls (Don’t Grow On Trees)”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Upon my first listen of Cris Cab’s mixtape Echo Boom, I was shocked at the amount of talent Cris Cab had. This collaboration with Big Sean was released back in June, which makes sense considering its undeniable summer feel. Co-written by Pharrell (Cab’s mentor) and produced by Wyclef Jean, “Good Girls” has a reggae feel…
Kanye West, Jay-Z & Big Sean- “Clique”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Kanye, Big Sean, Jay-z, and Hit-Boy (on production) come back together with the latest Cruel Summer single, “Clique”. The beat on this track is insane; the second I put it on I knew I needed to turn it all the way up. “Clique” is perfect to be played at clubs and parties, and it doesn’t…
Matt & Kim – “Now”
by Anthony Porcelli •
“Now” is the second single from Matt & Kim’s upcoming 3rd album, Lightning, which is set for an October 2nd release. “Now” opens up with- in classic Matt & Kim fashion- loud, fast drums and a catchy as hell synth chord progression. The song then progresses into verses with classic youth rebellion-driven lyrics like “I…
Music Video: MellowHype- “La Bonita”
by Anthony Porcelli •
“La Bonita” is the lead single off the upcoming album, Numbers, from OFWGKTA’s MellowHype. “La Bonita” has one of the most unique beats I’ve heard, but its nothing we haven’t come to expect from the wildly creative Hip-Hop collective. Hodgy kills his verse and proves to us once again that he’s just as talented- if…
No Doubt- “Push and Shove”
by Anthony Porcelli •
“Push and Shove”, produced by Diplo, is the title track from No Doubts upcoming album expected on September 25th. Tony Kanal (No Doubt’s bassist) calls the song their “Bohemian Rhapsody”….honestly, its nowhere near that good. That being said, “Push and Shove” is pretty catchy and definitely a good listen, but its no Bohemian Rhapsody. Check…
Hit-Boy ft. Big Sean- “Option”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Hit-Boy’s debut mixtape, HITstory, really exceeded my expectations; this dude can RAP. Maybe my expectations should have been higher since Kanye signed him to GOOD Music, but ever since he signed 2 Chainz I think my low expectations are understandable. But as I said before, contrary to what I expected, Hit-Boy’s debut was a pleasant…
Music Video: deadmau5 ft. Gerard Way- “Professional Griefers”
by Anthony Porcelli •
Deadmau5 just released the official music video to his collaboration with Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, “Professional Griefers”. In what is supposedly the most expensive dance music video ever, Joel Zimmerman and Gerard Way battle in the UFC Octagon. But instead of fist-fighting each other (which we’d all like so see) , the two…
