One Direction - Live While We’re Young

“Tonight let’s get some. And live while we’re young”

These barely legal boys are just heaven in my ears.

You want One Direction gossip? You got it!

But in all seriousness, their album, Take Me Home, is track-after-track gold. Get your copy - I really like Change My Mind, Summer Love,Kiss You… I might as well say the whole CD.

Like this? One Direction - Little Things, where Zayn has facial hair… is it freaking you out?!

The Wanted - I Found You

“I found you in the darkest hour. I found you in the pouring rain. I found you when I was on my knees.”

The Wanted? I want.

Am I the only one digging their falsetto?

They are rocking out on the top of the UK pop singles like they should be (yes, I don’t bother with the US charts of nonsense).

This is the stepping stone to their new album in the works - Third Strike. I think it’s going to be amazing. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Like this? Anjulie will do some justice.

“But I can’t compete with the she wolf, who has brought me to my knees. What do you see in those yellow eyes, ‘cause I’m falling to pieces.”

Sia returns with another collaboration with David Guetta after a more-than-successful Titanum.

This video was filmed in the gorgeous Iceland - home of, yes you guessed right, Sigur Ros! Everything must be more beautiful in Iceland.

Like this? A - You can listen to something that sounds exactly the same by Ali Brustofski or B - some Sia realness!

“Maybe, you could stay a bit longer or I could try a bit...

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:00:23 -0700

“Maybe, you could stay a bit longer or I could try a bit harder - we could make it work. But maybe, we should stop pretending. We both know we’re hurting. Maybe it’s time to go.”

Emeli’s sweet melody hits those deep, nostalgic chords.

Relationship didn’t work? Spent years in a relationship salvaging, unwavering and hurting? That’s life.

Just let this song soak up. “Maybe it’s time to go”

But now, life is so much better when I left it behind. For those who want advice - time.

Did you know Emeli Sande went to medical school and dropped out her last year to pursue music? Now this is an artist I can definitely look up to.

Like this? Maybe some Carly Rae Jepsen? Just kidding! Listen to a song that wasn’t on her album in acoustic beauty.

“Who cares that I got no plans and who cares that I got no...

“Who cares that I got no plans and who cares that I got no cash. Who cares - I still got my cool.”

Who is Pip? Season 2 of The Voice with Team Adam Levine’s Pip Andrew, of course! It’s really hard to find more information of him online since his stage name is, well, Pip.

Like this? Obviously you need some FrankMusik.

“When you’re around me, I’m radioactive. My blood is burning, radioactive. I’m turning radioactive. My blood is radioactive.”

Here it is. Just as promised. More Marina and the Diamonds.

Can you handle this song? It just keeps growing on me the more I play it. You’re making me radioactive, Marina!

Like this? Try some more Marina!

“Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight.”

There are times when I hate living in the US. During the Olympics and now. You can’t watch this video on their official YouTube channel because it’s blocked regionally. Fail.

Here’s the link to the beautiful video - we are missing out on so much!

Like this? Emeli Sande is an artistic genius.

“Let the sky fall, when it crumbles. We will stand tall. Face it all together. At skyfall.”

I was just talking to my friend at my dance studio about how there is a lack of Adele lately. Later that night, this track pops up. Thank the heavens!

It’s just a lyric video? Who f*ucking cares.

This track is for the upcoming James Bond movie, Skyfall. Guess what? Adele’s Skyfall is already named one of the “Top 10 Greatest James Bond Theme Songs of All Time” already AND hits number 1 on iTunes 10 hours after release. Go Adele.

Like this? Pixie Lott delivers magnitude too.

“We started to fall right out the sky without a parting call. We started to fall - no parachutes, we had no time to call mayday. Mayday”

Jon Bellion was forwarded to me by a blog I follow. Soulful. Cute. Catchy. I love the mix of lyrical indie and spoken words. Not to mention, he has a really neat website landing image.

Like this? Try Jay Brannan for a sweet tune.

“There’s no light in this room. It’s alright, we got you. You shine like gold.”

Neon Hitch, best for her provocative F U Betta song, comes out with a (surprisingly) clean song. It’s fabulous. It’s addicting. It’s “lectric”! I can’t get enough of it.

“You don’t have a bad bone in you.”

I caught onto Asbjørn on a whim going through my Youtube subscriptions (in fact, it was Nick Lanzisera’s choreography video that I watched over and over to figure out the lyrics).

The song really caught my attention and so I grabbed a copy of his album, Sunken Ships. Wow. Definitely something you should take a listen to if you like fusion indie-pop-ambience.

Here’s another sampler:
