Welsh folkman Osian Rhys’s new track “Long Time Gone” stopped straight in our tracks and made us pay attention. The vocal, the melodic chops, the simply beautiful harmonizing, and Osian’s cool Welsh accent all of it is really really excellent. A definite surprise. Don’t sleep.

Check out this cool collab between Iggy and Best Coast’s Bethany. The song was recorded for True Blood and it aired under the closing credits of a recent episode a few weeks back. It’s grit from the garage just as you’d expect, and the title words perfectly. By Bruce Rave

NYC singer Kendra Morris pays soulful tribute to the great Wish You Were Here lead track. Perhaps what makes this so appealing is the attention paid to the songs original arrangement, which no doubt needn’t be tampered with (those Gilmour guitar licks we’re looking at you). Preview below the track from her forthcoming debut full-length Banshee.

BeatauCue deliver strong remix work with their latest project. The French production duo dial up “The Way You Make Me” into a giant-sized sprawl of heavy rhythms and sharply crafted synths.

Alicia Keys’ latest (complete with those “oh oh oh ohs” that she’s so adept at) becomes the bed for a new 50/Dr. Dre track that is actually knockin’ pretty hard. Can this be Curtis’ comeback single? Our homeboy had a chart hit with that “Down on Me” track w/ Jeremih last summer, so dude is still in the conversation. Is “New Day” enough to get him back to relevance?

We love She Keeps Bees. The Brooklyn-based duo consistently releases really great blues/soul-driven guitar music. New single “Counter Charm” features an especially strong vocal from singer Jessica Larrabee; the way she just wrenches out some of those more intense notes, pulling them up and out of the tape and straight at your guts.
