London duo Thumpers recently debuted a new lyric video for their track, “Unkinder”. Just a couple spins through this tropically laced track, and we’re still coming back for more. It’s synth pop boasting melody drenched vocals – that stick (firmly rooted in your memory to be revisited when you least expect it). We could not be more ready to hear what’s yet to come from Thumpers.

The instantaneously (& insanely) catchy “All I Fear” is part of a limited release Record Store Day 10-inch vinyl from the New York-based band. In addition to “All I Fear”, the 10-incher’s title track “Binary Mind” as well as three additional unreleased demos will round out the release. Look out for “Binary Mind” on Record Store Day (April 20th) and get with the band when they hit your town this spring.

Yes, Drake did take it there. So if “Girls Love Beyonce”, do dudes loves Drake? We do (but don’t ask us to speculate any further). So what did Drake do here? The owl man takes DC’s “Say My Name” and in the style of 2013 slows it down, smooths it out, spooks it out (with an assist from Cocaine 80’s collaborator James Fauntleroy) and scores an engaging and heartened viber that only gets realer on the third, fourth, etc listens.

London-via-Australia singer Josef Salvat, who’s “This Life”” is one of the best tracks of 2013 thusfar, releases new track “Hustler”. While not as hit you square on the forehead immediate as “This Life”, the piano-driven dark pop of “Hustler” is no less powerful and affecting. Dear, Josef, we need more music ASAP; thx, B3SCI.

Well, yes, that is more like it. Fantasia Barrino delivers one of the strongest track of her career with the supremely well produced/arranged new smanger “Supernatural Love”. The hook especially is off the meter as F.B. rattles off in rapid succession her various identities (woman, wife, mother) & maybe comeback story? Side Effects of You is due Apr. 23.

Get familiar with the beautiful new late night house track from Swedish artist HNNY. We keep expecting that Brandy “Boy Is Mine” vocal to snake it’s way into the mix; but our Swedish friend uses “Boy” as an exercise in restraining away from an overexposed trend (looped 90’s R&B vocals). The result is a tastefully satisfying (& fresh) new 3 A.M. house experience.
