dj snake feat bipolar sunshine - middle
directed by colin tilley, this wongieFM fave of last year (#35!) FINALLY gets a video treatment in this superhero laden love story (or is it) starring hunger games josh hutcherson and dope's kiersey clemmons. honestly it's alot more interesting than some of the big budget vehicles out there plus the song still holds on to it's wonderfulness so many months onwards. nice one this!

the 3rd track to be released from the hyper buzzy lorde curated soundtrack, this time the eponymous chvrches bring their contribution to the upcoming release. it's definitely an all star collection of wongie faves (stromae, tove lo, major lazer and even grace jones!), can't wait to hear the full release!


chvrches - under the tide
while they are featured on a few soundtracks, chvrches continue to put out gems from their debut album 'the bones of what you believe'. here is their latest single!

HOT SOUNDTRACK: the chemical brothers feat miguel - this is not a game (OST the hunger games: mockingjay part 1)

the chemical brothers feat miguel - this is not a game (OST the hunger games: mockingjay part 1)
i'm kind of digging this trap-esque jam with miguel's talk/singing phrasing for this surprising collaboration. part of the lorde curated soundtrack for the upcoming hunger games, i'm definitely curious to hear what other left field combos are in store for this!

AUDIO PREMIERE: lorde - yellow flicker beat (the hunger games: mockingjay part 1 OST)

lorde - yellow flicker beat (the hunger games: mockingjay part 1 OST)
with lorde not only providing the title track for the upcoming hunger games soundtrack, she is also curating the album with surprise artists that have yet to be announced. i'm uber game to have a t-swift lorde sheeran collab yo!

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: sia feat the weeknd & diplo - elastic heart (OST hunger games: catching fire)

sia feat weeknd & diplo - elastic heart (OST hunger games: catching fire)
even though we loved this song about a month back, it's nice to see that it's getting some proper video love (albeit this weird grungy fashion piece loosely based on the exes sia and jd samson) the song is still awesome, so just turn it up and ignore the visuals!

THIS WEEKS MIX: sia feat the weeknd & diplo - elastic heart

sia feat the weeknd & diplo - elastic heart
taken off the upcoming hunger games soundtrack, this is a dynamic piece of epic singing mixed in with the crazy beats of diplo. what could have been a hot mess is instead this amazing merging of talent that pushes the boundary of what is considered pop these days. great stuff.

WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: taylor swift feat the civil wars - safe and sound

taylor swift feat the civil wars - safe and sound
[we tipped this song back in december and have been swooning over the intricate harmonies and taylor's subtle vocals. with the hunger games coming out in a few weeks, it's appropriate that a video is FINALLY out. i'm psyched on all levels!]

[oh this is a wonderful gift! not only does taylor showcase a non-surprise face adult track, but she's got the amazing civil wars in on the glorious harmonies. a definite treat AND a tease of what may be a kick ass soundtrack for the upcoming film!]
