WONGIE HOUSE SONG OF THE WEEK: ill blu feat james morrison - lonely people

ill blu feat james morrison - lonely people
following in the footsteps of successful dj/producers translating into artists in the own right (gorgon city, naughty boy), the UK duo of ill blu are definitely doing a great job of introducing themselves as players for 2015. nabbing singer/songwriter james morrison (who hasn't released music since 2011!!), this pop house number has massive hit written all over it. plus any video where the dance protagonist throws talcum powder on the floor is awesome in my book! respect!

live wongie: james morrison - out of time (bbc radio 1 live lounge)

james morrison - out of time (blur cover @ bbc radio1 live lounge)
[a gorgeous cover of the blur classic tune, i just love this guy to bits (and am totally bummed that i've missed out on his last few appearances in the NYC area)]

videoland: james morrison, the fratellis, jamelia, avril lavigne, ne yo, little man tate, arcade fire, arctic monkeys, bonde do role, calvin harris

james morrison - undiscovered
[gosh, has it been single #4 already? call me a cheese ball, but i just really love the tone of james' voice and it helps that his songs are so darn catchy.]


the fratellis - baby fratelli
[i'm slowly beginning to LOVE this band with every listen of their debut album costello music. the fact that the hilarious film hot fuzz (starring my unofficial boyfriend simon pegg) has used this song as their theme makes me love the guys even more!]


jamelia - no more
[even though this samples the stranglers (imagine the money it cost!) the song still emotes a nice honest sound that i haven't heard from jamelia in awhile]


avril lavigne - girlfriend
[this 80's girl punk meets 60's girl group sound really works for me. too bad avril is such a cow in real life.]


ne yo - because of you
[love this r&b singer/songwriter, but can he stop trying to
a)dance
b)pretend to be a sex symbol
it's just kind of gross really.]


little man tate - this must be love
[what a pub band. the lead singer is kind of cute in that normal kind of way.]


arcade fire - keep the car running (live on snl)
[i know that neon bible is already old news for loads of people, but i have to be honest and say that i have yet to really sit down and listen to the album from beginning to end. that doesn't mean i don't enjoy this band, i'm just lazy...]


arctic monkeys - brianstorm
[so it's really called brian-storm. ok. the weirder fact is that they have made a video with booty crazy dancers. what has the world come to?]


bonde do role - solta o frango
[a wongie favorite a few months back, i'm just psyched that i'm checking out this band at the end of this month (with producer diplo on dj decks to boot!)]


calvin harris - acceptable in the 80's
[is this guy really as amazing as the hype around him? i'm not so sure, but the retro love in this song makes me tolerate him for now.]

new video wednesday: james morrison, jay-z, danity kane

james morrison - the pieces don't fit anymore
[the guy definitely deserves his own hear good music spot, but i'm just too lazy to make one for him today (maybe next week). love him and this 50's-esque doo wap soul song to bits though.]


jay z feat chrisette michele - lost one
[one of the better tunes off his mediocre kingdom come album. i don't know about you, but the whole album just sounds like a rush job]


danity kane - ride for you
[there's something really false about these girls, but then again they're released by diddy so what would you expect. i keep on thinking that someone rooted in honest talent might have made this song an amazing experience...remake this someone!]
