Song of the Day: #34


I've had a complete Eminem obsession the last couple of days, where I've been listening to all of his albums on repeat. Even Eminem's biggest stan (see what I did there?) will have to admit that Em's career has taken a steady downward curve since he returned from a four year break to release Encore. So it's no surprise that I keep finding myself coming back to classics like The Eminem Show.

Video: Odd Future - Oldie


The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2 is finally here! The album features all of the talent that the hip-hop collective contains within it. To mark this occasion, the group dropped the video for album closer 'Oldie'.

Tyga has been grafting hard over the last few years, remember 'Coconut Juice'? Well, now he's blowing up in a big way.

Video: Diplo - Express Yourself (Feat. Nicky Da B)


Fresh off the back of his outstanding collaboration with R&B legend Usher, Diplo is preparing to drop his Express Yourself EP. If you're a fan of booty shaking, soul-claps and music itself, then you are definitely in the right place.

Willis Earl Beal - Evening's Kiss (Live at Now Wave Manchester)


If you follow me on twitter (@benjamintowersx) you may have noticed my love for Willis Earl Beal (see: here and here). This guy is blowing my mind every time I listen to his musical gifts to us mere mortals.

Song of the Day: #32


Yo, Estelle, Where have you been for the last three years? You went and dropped the brilliant 'American Boy' and 'Pretty Please (Love Me)', and then left us high and dry. Not cool, Estelle. Not cool.

Labrinth - Earthquake (All Star RMX) (Feat. Tinie Tempah, Kano, Wretch 32 & Busta Rhymes)


Labrinth is seizing 2012 by the scruff of it's neck and making it bow down to his genius. When 'Earthquake' dropped in late 2011 (Labrinth's first solo single since 2010's 'Let The Sun Shine') he demonstrated his ability to craft an infectious hook and pounding beat, and because of this, 'Earthquake' has become a club-anthem. Well, Labrinth has taken it to the next level.

Tanlines are an indie-rock/pop duo hailing from Brooklyn, New York and they are prepping for the release of their debut album Mixed Emotions on March 20th. I think the guy on the left is my favourite because he's wearing a Mariah Carey t-shirt. Yeah, definitely the guy on the left.

There must be something in the water in Sweden because the amount of amazing pop music to come from the Scandinavian country in the last couple of years cannot be a coincidence. Amazing pop acts such as; Lykke Li, Robyn, Icona Pop and Rebecca & Fiona, to name a few, have shown the talent that is brewing in the country, and now Amanda Mair steps forward to continue the countries strike rate.
