Mario feat. Nicki Minaj

Somebody Else [Explicit]

delivers the anticipated music video to his Nicki Minaj-assisted single, “Somebody Else.” The song, which discusses a story that we all know so well, of being left in a relationship, has been taking over

radio stations everywhere and serves as a great comeback for the veteran artist.

With a pending September release for his fifth studio album, tentatively titled ‘Restoration,’ Mario notes that this album will differ immensely from is predecessors. With the current single “Somebody Else” garnering much attention and a said follow-up titled “Fatal Distraction” featuring J. Cole, we’re anticipating this album to bring his talents back to the forefront of R&B.

 What Love is Made of

few could rival the English chanteuse’s lo-fi garage-inflected pop, shot through with dubstep and drum-and-bass, which was on full display in 2011′s On a Mission LP and last year’s exceptional Danger EP — and she’s shaping up to be again with the sound of her new single, “What Love Is Made Of.” The song, just premiered on Annie Mac‘s BBC Radio 1 show, is probably the biggest thing she’s recorded to date: The ’90s groove is timely enough, but her vocals sound more powerful than before, and the melody is absolutely instantaneous.  It’s rave-y, it’s trance-y, and it deserves to be a club hit.

 Diamond Dust [Explicit] [+digital booklet]

“Dive In,” and a new album Diamond Dust. NewNowNext chatted with front woman Heloise Williams about the band’s new sound, crossing paths with Lady Gaga and stepping away from the music scene.
Where has Willams been the past few years? After hooking up with Brooklyn’s legendary indie-music scene, she took a sabbatical of sorts in Vermont, pursuing a degree and recharging her creative battery. “I felt I was unclear about what was coming from me and what was the scene,” says Williams. “I wanted to isolate myself, think over what I wanted to write about.”
While “Dive In” is the band’s call to seize the day, Williams says the video is a “homage” to gay rights.  “[We were thinking] about gay marriage and all the embarrassing, horrible attacks around the word.” The rainbow saturated clip was also influenced by queer musician Arthur Russell’s avant-garde remixes and Andy Warhol’s infamous screen tests.

Leeward Side, ahead of his new album The Beginning and The End of Everything. His fourth studio album follows the success of its predecessors Memories and Dust (2007), Chimney’s Afire (2008) and Only Sparrows (2011), and its upbeat lead single was the second most played on Triple J over the past couple weeks. Pyke spoke to LUNA about the upcoming album (due out July 6th) and plans to hit the road again in the months ahead.
“Things are ramping up – getting the band and set together for the tour in August, and also balancing family life. It is difficult, but I can’t imagine it’s any more difficult than any other family balancing work and life.”
“This is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I get a lot of joy from it. There’s anxiety and the stress of being away from home, but every night I get to play songs for people who want to be there, who paid good money to be there, and that’s a special privilege that I don’t take for granted.”
Pyke describes this record as a personal insight into “the most intense few years” of his life, and he hopes this will make it particularly relatable.

“Dance The Pain Away” is a bona fide summer anthem that will ignite the crowds this festival season. The duo unveiled “Dance The Pain Away” to the world at this year’s Coachella (Saturday, April 13) when Legend made a special surprise appearance during Benny’s stellar performance at the Sahara Tent. Featured by CNN, the Los Angeles Times, Fuse and USA Today, who highlighted the performance as one of Saturday’s best surprises, the set was one of the most memorable moments at Coachella 2013.
Directed by Cameron Duddy, the video brings the song to life as it takes fans on a scenic drive along the famed Pacific Coastal Highway in Los Angeles with Benny Benassi behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 550 Spyder. Featuring John Legend and Benny Benassi, the video grips the gut of the track and captures the essence of searching for escape.
