An odd pairing that I actually think really works! Tiesto is known for his house beats while Tegan and Sara for the Indie sound. Combined, they produce a sound that is almost a heartfelt club hit. Case in point is:
A captivating video for one of my favorite songs. On a personal note, I think it captures how people enter each others' lives, touch them, and sometimes have to leave. We are all visitors to each other, so cherish the time you have.
Brand new artist MPHO has a very unique sound. Indie Hip-Hop as it were. "Box n Locks" is off of her 2010 album Pop Art. i have a feeling she is going to be sticking around for a bit.
I love VV Brown. Case in point is "Leave" from her 2009 album Traveling Like the Light. Enjoy! (Again, I really love her, enough said, you don't believe me? Check out "Crying Blood" below.)
Jay Z's new single "On to the Next One" from the album Blueprint was released and aired on New Year's. Very appropriate. Gotta say, I couldn't agree more.
Gotta say, this song would be a lot better without the whistling. Additionally, I got say that Katy Perry seems to carry the lyrics much better then the guys. Anywho, this will probably get a fair amount of airtime, then will be subsequently forgotten.
Jordin Sparks, from American Idol fame, provides actually a very decent (although cliche heavy) love-club hit. The song is "Battlefield" from her 2009 album Battlefield. Enjoy, but disregard the sappiness.
Vampire Weekend returns with their 2010 album Contra to continue dominance of the indie music movement. However, like many of their previous songs, "Cousins" still provides a Paul Simonish undertone to its music. Still, great listen.
I'm sure almost everyone has heard this one. It dominated the airwaves in 2009. Just posting the video because I have a fondness for Katy Perry's "Hot n Cold". Sang it at a Karaoke night with one of my friends.
Combining the vocals of Antony, a haunting under beat, and Greek mythology overtones, Hercules and Love Affair achieve a masterful sound from their track "Blind" on their 2009 self-titled album. Simply awesome.
A favorite recovery song that I forgot about! Basement Jaxx's collaboration with Lisa Kekaula yielded a highly emotional sound on their 2003 album Kish Kash. For a more modern song, see "Raindrops" from their 2009 album Scars below. This video is a little NSFW.
