On this go around Owl City dabbles in indie rock, folk, and on Alligator Sky, hip hop to bring the fans an uplifting message of hope and imaginations. Then, Foster The People, who have reached as high as #8 on Billboards Top 200 brings us Torches. Featuring the anthem Pumped Up Kicks, Torches has got the fans buzzing about this debut band.
You’ve heard her on Dr. Dre and Eminem’s I Need A Doctor and Diddy’s Coming Home as the hookstress. Now it’s time for some solo material from Skylar Grey as she brings us her new single Dance Without You. Fans can also check out Skylar’s beginning as she used to go by the name Holly Brook.
Speaking of Eminem, we got a new album full of his material as he combines with Royce Da 5’9” to make Bad Meets Evil and bring us Hell: The Sequel (Deluxe). The album is mostly Royce and Em exchanging furious rhymes back and forth, but they are joined by some features. The rest of Slaughterhouse joins in on Loud Noises and the highly popularBruno Mars on Lighters. Lil Wayne brings us his new single How To Love and it’s hard to pick a genre Lil Weezy is aiming at here. It’s not what people would expect from him (is that good or bad?). Lastly on the hip-hop note, Gym Class Heroes drop their new singleStereo Hearts, which features Maroon 5 singer and The Voice coach Adam Levine on the hook. Stereo Hearts is a head-nodding jam perfect for summer.
Toby Keith gives us his newly released patriotic anthem Made In America. It’s an up-tempo song about his parent’s experiences in America. With Independence Day right around the corner Toby Keith said it was perfect timing for this song to be released. Also in country, Shania Twain returns from a six year break with her single Today Is Your Dayto attempt to uplift listeners…Today!
The legendary Neil Young takes us on his mid 80’s tour with the International Harvestersand brings us A Treasure. The album is a collection of live songs, but also features five unreleased songs, which are Amber Jean, Let Your Fingers Do The Walking, Soul Of A Woman, Nothing Is Perfect and Grey Riders.
Lastly, rock band Incubus brings about their new single Promises, Promises. The lead singer described the song as homage to the pop songs of “yester-morrow” (whatever that means) and has a more “storytelling feel” to it.
