Tincup-Cookies


Tincup drops another solid trap mix with "Cookies", but before it drops, make sure and put on some headphones, it's one of those songs that can sound a little bit underwhelming through your computer speakers.

Years & Years-Real


London based electro-pop trio Years & Years have released their video for their single "Real." The group creates a unique sound by fusing R&B, EDM, and pop together, all while keeping the focus on the vocals and lyrics. The video is also pretty amusing and includes some interesting cameos from Skyfall's Ben Whishaw and Misfits' Nathan Stewart-Jarrett. Look for Years & Years' new EP Real, out February 18.

Miguel-Simplethings

Miguel releases his blissful single "Simplethings" for the Girls Vol. 2 soundtrack. Usually, compilation albums like this are full of throwaway singles that didn't make it onto the artist's album, but this track is completely solid and is one of my favorite Miguel joints.

Black Cobain-Disrespectful (feat. Casey Veggies)


Virginia native Black Cobain drops a video for his single "Disrespectful" featuring Casey Veggies. "Disrespectful" can be found on Cobain's latest mixtape, Perfect Contradiction.

Ellie Goulding-Life Round Here (Feat. Angel Haze)


Ellie Goulding drops a cover of James Blake's "Life Round Here" with some help from rapper Angel Haze. The production work is done by former Chiddy Bang member Noah Breakfast and the awesome beat makes this easily distinguishable and unique from Blake's version. I would say this is an improvement of the song, but this version doesn't have a verse from Chance.

Meg Myers-Go


Meg Myers drops a new single from her upcoming EP Make A Shadow. The song features some awesome instrumental work, including a great guitar riff and some great drum work. Look for the new album February 11.
