New Dance track "So Fly" from Sola Rosa (NZ) "gets the body moving and the soul grooving"

Kiwi music producer Andrew Spraggon describes his new song "So Fly" released under his Sola Rosa moniker as having an “angular analog feel”. The tune sits perfectly alongside the vibrant Sola Rosa back catalogue that fans have come to know and love for it's unique sound. And yet, the latest track pushes further ahead into new musical territory. “The overall feel is an unusual one for me as a producer" Spraggon comments, "but I wanted to make it have a retro kind of vibe. It’s pretty much a synth-laden production and heavy on the beats,” he says. From my perspective "So Fly" gets the body moving and the soul grooving! :)

Dope New Videos from; Shakes - "Tambourine Girls" & Pikachunes "You Are"

https://www.facebook.com/shakesisshakes/

Shakes new video 'Tambourine Girls" dropped last week and if I am not mistaken the songs sounding even better with some funny Jack-blasque visuals to go with it. But do I have a stigma in my left eye or does the guy in the video when he rips his t-shirt of and starts dancing/jiggling nah shaking around look a hell of a lot like the star of the School of Rock haha. On a serious note something really strikes me about this video that I feel compelled to write about and pose the serious question, where the hell are the "Tambourine Girls"?? I mean I like the guy playing all the instruments and find him entertaining to watch and his smile is in infectious and heart warming but I would have really liked to see some hot sexy girls undressing instead possible flanking him then pushing around and finally maybe dressing him up like a girl and turning into one of them haha that would have really answered my question. But with a white turtle neck that reminds me of Diana Keaton starring opposite Jack Nicholson in one of my fav films "Something Gotta Give" it's hard not to love this video and I really hope to God there are woman in the next video :)!!!! p.s can't wait to hear Shakes next record that they are currently recording

Fav line: "We could travel just by turning a page"
Fav production aspect: The overall mix! who did it??

https://www.facebook.com/pikachunes/

The animation for this video fits perfectly with the song i love the dystopian tragedy and darkness swimming through "You Are". In my humble uneducated view I think this is a real return to form from Pikachunes an artist that has had to battle some serious health issues in the recent past. Admittedly I don't know to much music from him except for his really early stuff that I saw on the telly but I definitely know about him and I liked this video enough to surf through Youtube and check out some live performances! He's also friends with my friend Ant who I went to school with and played some mean games of indoor cricket with in intermediate which is cool :). I love the drum machines on "Who Are"and also like the kind of rough mix too which is creative and uncompromising = kickass. If this tune is a taste of things to come I will definitely be dialing into check out the upcoming album on Monday records (Aussie label). I'd also be really interested to know who drew/animated the video it would be real cool if Pika did it himself!!! :)

Fav line:  "You are the most Important thing in the World to me"
Fav production aspect: The Synth tones they make me imagine sitting in some pagan ass church with the artist preaching to a room of evil daleks before the death-star explodes

Full Album Stream - Tame Impala "Currents" Sounding Awesome :)

Sweet Sweet Melodies and more Synths than Guitars arghhh :)
My favourite track so far "Eventually" 

The making of the album in a kick ass house in the Ozzy Outback

Check out Anthony Fontano's great Album Review for "Currents" he breaks down the record in a positive way and offers some really sick insights

Premier: Little Mix - Little Me: The latest song from the new Spice Girls ;)

This song would be priceless if One Direction were singing it. The song is called "Little Me" by "Little Mix". I don't like the production that much it just doesn't jump out at you. I like my mainstream music more catchy so catchy I hear at once and can't stop myself buying their whole back catalogue on iTunes.

It's no doubt a solid attempt from the Spice Girls but it doesn't speak to me. A whole lot of young woman singing about being poor when they are on a major with a single backed by the dollars.     Seems a bit of a contradiction to be marketing to the everyday person.

I really dislike the monotonous speeches from the people but hey this could be your next favourite song so check it out. The song could grow on me but I just can't see it happening it just reminds me to much of past songs and it comes across as a bit preachy!!!

I'd give Miley Cyrus a spin over the pop tarts any day here is a much better song aye :)

Have you heard about Tove Lo yet? I have today and this girl is a super-talent the beat production is immense the vocals are butter smooth and everyones backing her from Marina and the Diamonds to the whole of the blogosphere. This girl could be the next big thing in pop music in 2014. She seems like an artist with vision and drive to succeed.
