Sam & Nate
"Love's Hard, Hate's Harder"
Pop Music
Pop Music
If
like many pop music fans you've spent any part of the last decade
complaining about the current state of the genre's lack of diversity in
terms of context and content, then Sam & Nate should put your
mind at ease.
This
youthful, sensational pop duo from New Mexico will draw you into the
fountain of youth and drown your ears in colorful melodies and vocal
harmonies you never thought you would ever hear again and remind you why
pop music once had such a special place in your heart.
Love's
Hard, Hate's Harder is nothing short of a pop masterpiece; an utterly
refreshing track, laced with both contemporary and old school pop elements, a little electro and a little pop rock. It's about the ups and
downs of relationships; but more importantly the unconditional love
that lasts through the good times and the bad times. The creative duo
also released a meaningful video of the track shortly after and it was
everything fans wanted -
Clean, fun, DIFFERENT and audio-visually satisfying.
You won't feel like someone just shoved a wiener down your earholes or eye sockets afterwards.
There are no cliche, overused lyrics, no bragging or ego masturbation, no
unnecessary explicit content, unnecessary bikini models or bitch calling, and no promotion of drug use, sex or violence -
It's just good teen pop
music.

Echo
Drama is by far one of the most notable upcoming Reggae bands since Bob
Marley and The Whalers first stepped on the scene back in the day. Still
Shining was released in late 2013 and is still a summer favorite for
anyone who has been lucky enough to discover it. It's about keeping the
sunshine in your heart and never letting the weather get you down. Like
all the other tracks on their Bury The Weapons EP, it is flooded with
groovy rhythms, bright instrumentation and intellectually sound lyrical
content.

Idrise
"Falling"
R&B
Hide your girl friends, your sisters, your daughters, your baby's mamas and your baby's mamas' mamas.
Sexy, soulful and irresistible are some of the top 3 words widely used to describe Idrise. Anyone who has been missing the good old authentic sound of R&B needs look no further. This is contemporary R&B music that preserves and respects the intrinsic values of the genre both vocally and instrumentally. Idrise is a huge fan of today's Pop crossover acts and new school R&B acts and releases covers of popular songs regularly but his music remains true to the essence of real R&B music. Falling, one of his earlier debut singles was released back in 2012. It has stood the test of time so far and is still one of the most requested and played Independent R&B songs today. In this romantic, uplifting track with a futuristic beat, Idrise talks about falling in love, being in love and all the pleasures of finding that special someone. It's completely clean all the way through so it can be enjoyed by the youth and adults alike without any awkward moments. Idrise is by far one of the coolest independent R&B musicians right now and is backed by amazing music production, music video and graphic design teams that make every single release a unique R&B treat like none other.

Hip Hop
Hip Hop hasn't seen a group of thorough, diverse, Hip Hop acts with lyrical prowess and production skills like this since The Wu Tang Clan.

Hip Hop hasn't seen a group of thorough, diverse, Hip Hop acts with lyrical prowess and production skills like this since The Wu Tang Clan.
Bossman Status shook the world of Underground Hip Hop back in 2012 with their debut single, Freaky Music which was received very well and quickly followed up by Double Tree. And then just when fans thought it couldn't get any better, they released How High - a powerful, cinematic, motivational Hip Hop track with fiery, trap-style instrumentation and lyrical content that restored fans' faith in the return of the diversity and artistic integrity that was once rampant in Hip Hop.
Turn your speakers really high and roll down the windows for this one.

Love X Stereo
"Fly Over"
Electro Rock
In anticipation of Love X Stereo's upcoming Skunk Radio Live EP, scheduled for release late August or early September this year, we decided to take a musical journey back in time to this refreshing track, one of the highlights of their first SRL EP.
The South Korean Electro Rock Trio did an exceptional job with this one, as they do with all their videos. As usual they went all out and did something really unique, creative, colorful and captivating. The track itself is masterpiece, skillfully cutting across various genres in a way only Love X Stereo knows how - pop, rock, indie, psychedelic, electro, all blended together nicely with an overall retro, 90's rock feel.
