[MP3 + Music Video] Alex Bent + the Emptiness – Blame Me

One from the inbox! We dig:

“Blame Me” has been in the works since June 2016. It is the second single from my upcoming debut album, Vanilla Blue with a release date in the new year. Lyrically, the song continues the theme of relationships and how inner demons sometimes make it difficult to accept love and affection from others.

Riley Deacon, who helped lay down some additional production on the song, also directed the video. It’s new territory for me as I’ve stepped away slightly from the dark piano pop of my earlier releases.

Y’all dig?? Let us know here in the comments or on the ‘gram.

[MP3 + Music Video] Always Never – Call Me Over

This is a BANGER! Check the science:

Always Never, the duo from Toronto, premiered their new song “Call Me Over” on Beats 1 Radio with Zane Lowe yesterday, before the release of their debut Call Me Over EP today. On their sound, Zane said “So Toronto, so Toronto. But Toronto is fleshing out, right? It’s getting fuller. It knows it’s controlling pop music right now, it knows it’s leading that sound. Confidence is high in that city. Always Never, “Call Me Over”, a World First, sounding amazing.” They’re unsigned and wrote and produced all of this themselves – it’s dark and sexy and undeniably catchy.

Check out the full EP also titled Call Me Over too, it’s a good one! Soundcloud | TIDAL

[MP3] Joe Fox – What’s The Word Feat. Nas

I was gonna go, “Why on earth is Nas on this dude’s record??” but apparently he had a fair amount to do with A$AP Rocky‘s AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP album which only goes part of the way to explaining the riddle, frankly….

[MP3] Maylee Todd – Downtown

First single from Maylee Todd‘s excellent (trust me) forthcoming new album, Acts of Love. Let me put it like this. If you dug the music Solange was making with Dev Hynes of Blood Orange, Maylee’s new album might appeal to you and I’ll leave it at that. Acts of Love is scheduled for release November 3.
