This is a fantastic pop track from a seemingly up and coming Norwegian pop singer whose just released a new album. The album isn’t too bad, but this track is far better than the others and I’m sure will catapult her to another level. I added the live version below as I like it more than the music video. Enjoy!

Kygo – Kids In Love (Don Diablo Remix)
I really struggled with which Don Diablo track to list here as there are so many great ones to choose from. Don Diablo has been on an absolute production tear over the last couple of years. His “future house” style has been raising his profile in the dance community with every fantastic new release. Go listen to more of his recent tracks and you’ll see what I mean. He’s a man on a mission and I for one am thankful for it.
Opposition – Ultralight
A great new DnB track through Ram Records. Their releases can sometimes sacrifice melody for glitchiness, but this track from Opposition is a fantastic blend. Turn it up!
Thief Club – Chicago
Started as a music outlet for Nick Thompson all the way back in 2013, this track is the first release from the very first album released…in February 2020. I wish the recording quality was a bit higher, but for a self produced, mixed, and mastered track, it’s not too bad. Overall a good solid pop punk sound and quite catchy. Looking forward to more!
Lauv – Fuck I’m Lonely
I heard this track through my periodic browsing of the UK Top 100 and this was near the bottom at the time but was clearly a standout amongst a number a shitty tracks. It has since risen for good reason and I’m a big fan.
Hyolyn – You Know Better & See Sea
I first heard Hyolyn as I was digging around information about a producer couple in LA that I liked and subsequently found a youtube video of them working with a Kpop artist named Hyolyn. Through that track I also heard a previous release by her entitled “See Sea” and I thought I’d show both releases including the studio video during the making of the newer release. They are both fantastic in their own way.
Avicii – Heaven
There seemed to be one clear standout from Avicii’s posthumous album and that was the unreleased track he made with Chris Martin back in 2014 and never got around to releasing. Unfortunately it took Tim’s passing to hear this fantastic track but despite the circumstances it’s a great song nonetheless.
The Carters – APESHIT
I’m sure everyone has heard this by now but it’s the first song by Beyonce I’ve really enjoyed in quite some time. I feel like it’s a response to the new direction of hiphop but, quite simply, a much classier and better version of it. The track is certainly ahead of or at the very least in line with the newest style and it almost seems like it’s just Beyonce and Jay-Z saying to everyone that if this is where you want to go we can one up you at your own game. Impressive to say the least.
Sigrid – Strangers
Sometimes I think I’ve posted tracks and then months later realize that I haven’t. It’s quite frustrating and this is a good example, as I heard this song back in December or January and I’m just now posting it in May. Looking on Youtube recently it was only a week ago that she performed on the Tonight Show so I’d imagine the USA is just now starting to hear this track and will be enjoying it soon just like the rest of Europe and Australasia has for the past few months. There is something captivating about both the song and the singer and I honestly haven’t been able to put my finger on it. The timing of the song is unique for pop tracks in regard to the breaks, hits, and bridges, but there is also something deeper that resonates and keeps you hitting repeat. For months I haven’t figured it out, but maybe you will…
Dekleyn – Ghost
This new Aussie group has a really solid track on their hands. Slowly building, mellow, but at the same time upbeat it’s a great mix of emotions and feelings evoked simultaneously. It’s been on repeat for me lately.
