[R&B/Pop] Phil Good – Put It All On Me

Phil Good continues his streak of catchy pop gems with the release of “Put It All On Me,” an electrifying new single that dropped a few weeks back.

Originally starting his music career off in Portland and currently residing in Los Angeles, Phil Good has been releasing music publicly for a while now and it only continues to get better. For “Put It All On Me” he puts it all on the table, holding nothing back. Yet another solid record in his catalog. If you haven’t ran through it, we suggest you do so.

[House] Trouze – These Streets (feat. Brandyn Burnette)

Singaporean production trio Trouze have been working their way up through out the dance world, collaborating with Sam Feldt, and releasing on Armada music, though it hasn’t always been easy, and it’s this journey they share on their latest, “These Streets,” in collaboration with Brandyn Burnette (aka EMAN8). The group shares:

The essence of ‘These Streets’ is about how one’s dreams and life should not be restricted by circumstances’ says Ee ‘Hence the lyrics ‘these streets will never define me’…The streets where one grew up should never constrain or hold you back.’ 

With them a being a first for an Asian act in the dance world, one can understand that looking back on the journey, and where they came from has to be an inspiring.

Vern Matz – Tiny Nuclear Reactor [TMN PREMIERE]

With a nostalgic, melancholy vibe, “Tiny Nuclear Reactor” is seemingly the perfect accompaniment to my dreary weekday drive to the office. It’s grey and subdued, but still has enough nuanced fun to it pair up nicely with a thermos full of coffee, fumbled around with through a pair of pilled wool gloves.

Maybe it’s those 90s vibes that have me thinking of a brisk Seattle day. It’s not hard to hear nods to Ben Folds or Deathcab for Cutie, what with the casual vocal cadence and soft guitar strums. It should be noted that while this feat is often emulated, it’s rarely effective. That’s not the case with Vern Matz.

Made up of three former Yale Students, this trio showcases a maturity in both songwriting and execution. “Tiny Nuclear Reactor” is the perfect example of that, bringing you a warming simplicity, done so in a way that’s carefully thought out.

Make sure to follow these three on Facebook to keep up with future releases and live dates.

[Pop] Kronic – Look My Way (feat. MASN)

Hip hop DJ turned electronic artist, turned producer, turned songwriter, Kronic switches it up from his signature style with “Look My Way” featuring MASN. 

Co-written by Leon Thomas and Austin Mahone, “Look My Way” marks the end for a busy year for Kronic working on projects for Usher, Scott Storch, Lil Jon and Chris Brown, amongst others, and lending his music to tv & film. 

After spending the last few years writing quite dark “serious” records, it’s liberating to release something that’s bright, happy and feels like a party. It might be getting cold in California, but in my homeland Australia, Summer’s just starting!” Kronic shares. Stream his new single below, and keep out for new music from him in the new year.
