WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: duke dumont feat jax jones - i got u

duke dumont feat jax jones - i got u
the ultimate 'i'm ready for summer' anthem of the winter season! the best escapism song (that covers whitney houston) you'll hear all week!

COOL MIX: erik hassle - talk about it

erik hassle - talk about it
i've always had a soft spot for this swedish singer/songwriter with his penchant for darker emotions in a pop arena. now based out of LA, i'm glad to see that the sun hasn't meddled with his style as his new work is just as internal as his previous work (if not more so). nice one this!

want more? check out erik's wonderful acoustic cover of the whitney houston classic:

sorry for zane lowe's voice popping up at the end, but this cool cover was ripped off of bbc radio 1 recently. you get the idea of it's awesomeness!

WONGIE SOUL SONG(s) OF THE WEEK: robin thicke - all tied up / exhale (shoop shoop)

robin thicke - all tied up
[it's so nice to hear robin's manly voice in his latest song! i've actually been checking the guy out on the music contest 'duets' (abc) and find his stage bravado kind of cheesy (thank goodness the man has that voice cause it makes up for the rest of it!)]


robin thicke - exhale (shoop shoop)
[yeah... this is just nice... plain and simple. RIP whitney]
