Expo is a new electo-pop group out of Belgium that have started to create a little buzz on the internets. This is their 2nd single, involving the classic recipe for a good track: Simple drum track+heavy synths+catcy chorus+piano breakdown. Can’t really go wrong here. Also included is their first track, “I Don’t Mind”
Expo – Right Here With Me
Expo- I Don’t Mind
David Guetta’s go to guy releases his first single off his new album. Originally supposed to be what came to be “Good Feelin” feat. Flo Rida, “Hangover,” now his lead single and this song has legs, expect to hear this in clubs and on the radio non-stop.
Taio Cruz – Hangover
If you haven’t been keeping up with the new R&B scene, Canadian artist, The Weeknd, has been gaining a lot of exposure with his subtle emo style. I am a big fan of both his mixtapes and on the new Machine album, he and Benny Benassi were given the opportunity to interpret their new single “Shake It Out.” Check it out.

Common is an artist who has been around for a long time, and throughout his career he has been fortunate to have great production to accompany his signature flow (except Universal Mind Control, sorry Pharrell). He has worked with DJ Premier, J Dilla, The Roots, and Kanye West His latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer, is produced mostly by Chicago native No I.D., producer of countless hits for Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Usher, and most recently Big Sean. “Blue Sky,” is his second single following his street single, “Ghetto Dreams.”
Common – Blue Sky
Being the fact that we both work for Microsoft (well, kind of… but not really), we felt it only right to post the new track from Kendrick Lamar that was created for the new Windows Phone. K-Dot’s new album, Good Kid in a Mad City, is set to release in early 2012 and the new Windows Mobile O/S, Mango should be out by within the next month, you know, just in case you were wondering.
Kendrick Lamar- Cloud 10
Enrique is back with another pop song hoping to make an impact on radio. He brings along Pitbull for this track, not sure if “I Like It,” or not yet.
Enrique Iglesias – I Like How It Feels (Benny Benassi Mix)
Tyga, Young Money’s next artist up, receives an old Drake track and makes it his own for his official second single. I really enjoyed “Far, Far Away”, (previously posted on AOS) and really like this young kid from Compton. Behind Drake and Nicki, I think he is the only other viable artist from the label. So check this out, as well as for a bonus the original Drake track.
Tyga feat. Drake – Still Got It
Drake – Still Got It
Diddy’s old girlfriend is back at the music business and ready to try again with “Radio.” Cassie ran into some trouble back in the day with some awful live performances which gave her some motivation to stick back to modeling. This time using the infamous Mobb Deep sample and with the help of Loso, she brings us a “Radio” single, wow that was really corny, give it a listen.
Cassie feat. Fabolous – Radio
Wale’s sophomore effort, Ambition, is shaping up quite nicely. His newest single features R&B crooner, Miguel, on the hook. This reminds me of the Wale, I originally grew interested in, before his Maybach Music signing. This goes back to his story telling ability, this time about a love interest. His album will be in stores this fall, enjoy. Bonus, i put up the song that put Miguel on the map.
Wale feat. Miguel – Lotus Flower Bomb
Miguel feat. J. Cole – All I Want Is You
Angus and Julia Stone are a brother-sister duo out of Australia who are more widely recognized for their folky/indie branded sound. Stern, is a house producer who has taken his craft worldwide, playing shows everywhere from Shanghai to Paris; Montreal to Mexico (where he currently resides). Put the two together and you get quite the mix; including sultry vocals over a driving drum beat, soothing strings, and colorful synths that add that little extra spice.
