sunbear’s peddlin’ of charli xcx worked wonders around these parts, as her latest album true romance has been getting plenty of spins around my ears. at a recent in-store performance in chicago yesterday, charli decided to have some fun and show off her pipes in a great cover of the ~esteemed~ and ~chart-topping~ backstreet boys hit, “i want it that way.”

what really sells har mar superstar’s act is how sincere he is to his sexed-up lounge act craft and nowhere is this more apparent than his new music video for “lady, you shot me” from his album bye bye 17. watch sean tillman get james brown with it above.

joey badass and action bronson’s collaboration from the XXL freshman mixtape gets released in CDQ, and it was definitely worth the wait. chuck strangers did an excellent job with the jazz lounge production, fitting and molding to the styles of joey and action respectively.

dude, i could watch este haim’s bass-face for days and apparently so can the cameramen of live on jools holland, who wisely
spend a lot of time on the HAIM bassist’s rock star expressions. watch the sister act perform “forever” from their ep of the same name up top.
her twitter handle is @jizziemcquire. like i said – rock star.

anthony gonzales can pretend all he wants that his hand in soundtracking oblivion isn’t the
master hand that controls the direction and sound of m83 – but let’s get real here, folks. it’s as m83 as tom cruise’s laugh is just plain goofy. up above, watch susanne sundfør, who blends in beautifully amongst the artsy m83 folk with her asymmetrical hairstyle, deliver her lofty “oblivion” vocal duties with m83 on jimmy kimmel last night.

like dude, macklemore and ryan lewis’ INDEPENDENT album now holds a 5x platinum single that broke the record of most consecutive #1s on the billboard charts for a hip-hop/r&b track. not only that, but “can’t hold us” is now gold. now lets put that type of number set on the coco stage.

nothing has put me in a finer mood than phosphorescent’s new album muchacho, and its grand opening slavo “song for zula” gets a nifty music video that’s a single, continuous shot. you should know how much i love those. watch the clip above.
