Greenday - Let Yourself Go!

 

Check out this new release from Green Day called 'Let Yourself Go'.

 

For people who have followed Greenday over the decades, this track will bring back some nostalgic feelings. Its still very much the Greenday of today with the level of production and hint of theatricality (random solo), but the instant feel you get from the simple chord sequence, fast bass and drums; you cant help but think of the early 2000's.

 

 

Labrinth - Treatment

 

 

 

Before you judge; listen.

 

Labrinth - Treatment

 

Labrinth is not normally the type of artist i would usually post about seeing as he is mainly pop/rap/notsureofhisgenreactually. But wow... listen to that opening. It sounds like it could be right off a white lies album, and the vocals in the opening, they're quite good right up until it becomes another chart song. If the chorus was half as good as that opening synth riff, then this would be one dangerously good song.

 

Does anyone out there fancy doing some sampling and make something epic with that opening?

Please.

Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen

Wow.

 

I was driving home from work the yesterday and 'Anything Could Happen' came on the radio. Instantly i knew, I got that feeling that this was something good and I needed to pay attention, turn it up and enjoy.

 

It is beautifully simple. A combination of a pulsing synth bass, sweeping synthscapes and catchy hooks and melodies, all culminating at in the chorus to make something perfect.

 

If youre a fan of Oh Land, IAMWHOAMI, paloma faith (for the vocals) then check this track out.
