Eclipse Tunes


Here's the new Vampire Weekend track, "Jonathan Low" featured on the Eclipse Soundtrack. Kind of reminds me of The Cure. Pretty excited to hear the whole album (and see the movie!) which features new Muse, Florence & the Machine and The Black Keys. It also has a duet by Beck and Bat for Lashes entitled "Let's Get Lost". Could be life-changing! It drops June 8th.

Charice

Probably the best vocalist to come out since Mariah or Whitney, Charice is a powerhouse that got her start on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2008, linking her to Celine Dion and legendary composer David Foster. Her raw talent is incomprable to any recording artist out right now. Her new album Charice, out today on iTunes, feautures a bunch of cookie cutter pop songs, without the cheese, highlighting her vocal range, even featuring R&B artist Iyaz of "Replay" fame. The songs would be torturous if sung by another average pop star with all fluff and no talent, but they are actually enjoyable because of her incredibly mature voice. It's pretty evident that she had the absolute BEST songwriters helping her along the way, no doubt. Still, the 18-year-old has certainly come a long way from living in poverty in the Philippines. God bless! Listen to her single below.

Drake Finds Love in Jamaica

And then she shoots him in the head! In his new video, that is. Here's the sexy, violent video from Drake for his single "Find Your Love". This track is dripping with Kanye West, probably because he produced it. It sounds like the long lost track from 808s and Heartbreak. It's definitely my favorite thing that I've heard from Drake's new stuff.
