J*DaVeY serve up another gem made of one-part electronic music, two-parts soul, a dash of hip hop, and a little more than a pinch of sex appeal with a video that can only be described as a futuristic amalgamation of Tinkerbell meets The Shining.

I first heard Roisin Murphy perform “Royal T,” then named “Royalty” at Viktor & Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show in Paris. I was hooked instantly of course.

Here’s another one by singer/songwriter/producer Jay Scott. This is the remix to his song “Champion” and it features a verse from Corinne Stevie.

Paris-based electronica artist Uffie is back with a new song and ready to release a proper album Sex, Dreams & Denim Jeans on Ed Banger Records this Spring.

Indie rock duo MGMT recently released the first single from their new album Congratulations on their website. The spastic track has influences from doo-wop, ballads, electro and even the Beatles.

Another day, another leaked track from Kidz in the Hall’s new album Land of the Make Believe. This one features a great horned beat by Just Blaze and the usual motivational hook by Colin Munroe.

“Te Amo” was always the most iffy track on Rihanna’s “Rated R” to me. I never like seeing pop singers who don’t/can’t speak Spanish sing in Spanish.

The Italian Stallions of bass have taken the underground completely into the mainstream on their new Southern Fried Records release Tons of Friends released stateside on Monday, March 8th.

“Nigeria Afrobeat Special: New Explosive” is a pretty strong compilation with few bummers, if none, and a previously unreleased Fela track.

I’m sorry, but Solange can’t be related to Beyonce and make music this dope. The singer/songwriter recently leaked this track called “Under Construction” on her blog and I’m so glad she did.
