WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: lana del rey feat weeknd - lust for life

lana del rey feat the weeknd - lust for life
offering the title song of her upcoming album as her new single, lana del rey continues her journey into dreamy david lynch/bat for lashes/shangri-las territory, this time bringing the weeknd along with her. it's beautiful and of a bygone era that is strictly in a lana world. gosh this is good!

WONGIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: amber coffman - all to myself

amber coffman - all to myself
what a surprisingly retro borderline doo wop ballad (filtered through some modern phrasings cause this is amber coffman, possible ex of the dirty projectors!) amber calls this jam a love song to yourself. so slow dance like theres no one watching! hey amber does it!

VIDEO PREMIERE: miike snow - heart is full

miike snow - heart is full
after a 3 year wait, miike snow (aka bloodshy & avant & andrew wyatt) finally reunites with new material for 'III' due 2016. world premiered on zane lowe's beats 1 show, the trio promise even more new tracks in the coming months, so expect crazy videos like this one to accompany their return.

WONGIE JAM OF THE WEEK: jamie xx feat young thug & popcaan - i know there's gonna be (good times)

jamie xx feat young thug & popcaan - i know there's gonna be (good times)
easily one of my fave jams of the year until you start to listen to the lyrics from young thug & popcaan, then it's like 'ew...' but then the retro jam kicks back in and all is forgiven! the most divisive jam of the year for me really...

WONGIE DISCOVERY: andra day - forever mine

andra day - forever mine
oh that timeless soulful voice! newcomer andra day sounds like a blast from the past, but she is fully entrenched in the now garnering fans as diverse as stevie wonder to spike lee (who directed this video) by offering her takes on current hits via her youtube channel. with her debut album 'forever mine' due for release, check out her current single "forever mine" (and DEFINITELY that crazy note she slides into at the 3'15" mark) and you'll understand why this soul gal is seriously on our radar.

WONGIE INDIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: foxes - body talk

foxes - body talk
[UPDATED WITH VIDEO PREMIERE!] channelling some serious 80's synth fabulousness, louisa rose allen (aka foxes) returns with this new gem that captures some of that stevie nicks fairy dust essence (and that's always a good thing). nice one!

NEW BRITNEY!: britney spears & iggy azalea - pretty girls

britney spears & iggy azalea - pretty girls
i still stand by my 'it's barely a song' statement, but it does make me happy to see britney embracing her silly and dancing with her crew again.

WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: lunchmoney lewis - bills

lunchmoney lewis - bills
the song is a worldwide smash and you should be bopping along to it, like yesterday, only cause you will hate this song in a months time. the florida based rapper will hopefully figure out a way to rise above the success of this song cause if not, the words one hit wonder will be etched pretty quickly here. just sayin...

WONGIE RAP SONG OF THE WEEK: kendrick lamar - king kunta

kendrick lamar - king kunta
celebrating his compton roots, kendrick has ironically placed a throne in his driveway to not only give thanks to his background but also wax judgement on the lazy lyrics of his fellow rap peers. the man is a genius in my book!

AUDIO PREMIERE: mary j blige - therapy

mary j blige - therapy
co-written by jimmy napes and sam smith, this jazzy gospel number is by far the best thing i've heard from mjb's upcoming 'the london sessions' so far (call me blasphemous, but every song just lacks a certain oomph). working with the creme of the current uk soul scene, you would have thought that the disclosure, naughty boy, emeli sande touches would bring something kick ass to this diva. maybe the other tracks will surprise me...

AUDIO PREMIERE: nicki minaj - anaconda / beyonce & nicki minaj - flawless (remix)

holy shizz! nicki minaj is having a MAJOR moment as she's currently #1 on itunes with the jessie j & ariana grande collaboration. plus her latest single 'anaconda' (sampling sir mix a lot no less!) made a leaked appearance over the weekend and proves that all that azz imagery from the single's cover is worth the hype. and finally the queen bey posted a collaboration with nicki for the remix of her upcoming single 'flawless'. it's all about nicki this weekend!!

nicki minaj - anaconda (hq)


beyonce & nicki minaj - flawless (remix)

VIDEO PREMIERE!: pharrell williams feat miley cyrus - come get it bae

pharrell williams feat miley cyrus - come get it bae
the song is not my fave off the 'grl' album, but what makes this video a treat is watching these dancers give the fatima robinson choreography a total workout! always love her work and it's being celebrated here!

WONGIE HIP HOP SONG OF THE WEEK: cam'ron feat nicki minaj & yummy - so bad

cam'ron feat nicki minaj & yummy - so bad
part of cam'ron's first of the month EP series, this retro doo-wap number is all sorts of awesomeness that you'll be hearing ALOT of in the coming weeks. LOVE!!!

INDIE MIX: circa waves - young chasers

circa waves - young chasers
hailing from liverpool and gaining serious buzz in the UK, this boppy four piece fuzzy guitar band have managed to come up with a lively retro number that reminds me of old skool strokes. press play and have fun with this!

WONGIE INDIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: lana del rey - shades of cool

lana del rey - shades of cool
we premiered this audio track two weeks back and now the haunting ballad gets a gorgeous video by jake nava on tap. with the album 'ultraviolence' out this week, this is easily one of the highlights from the psychedelic collection of tunes. nice one!
