Songs of the Week 106: March 26 – April 1

mansionz#5. Manionz – Dennis Rodman

This is one weird song. You cannot deny, though, that it’s got some catchy swagger. Plus, I have a softspot for anything with Blackbear (Mansionz = Mike Posner + Blackbear).


safetalk#4. Safetalk – Universal

Debut track from Safetalk shows some promise. It does feel like it could use a little “oomph”, but nothing wrong with playing it safe.


leo islo#3. Leo Islo Feat. Dani Poppitt – Lush Life

Getting some poolside tropical vibes from Leo Islo’s newest, Lush Life. Accompanying these summertime feels are some great vocals from both Leo Islo and Dani Poppitt.


prep#2. Shy Girls – Trivial Motion (PREP Remix)

soundcloud.com/prep // soundcloud.com/shygirls

I’ve been a fan of almost everything Shy Girls has released. I really dig his sultry baby making music. Trivial Motion, however, was never a song I really seemed to dig. Then along comes PREP, who add some groovy beats to turn this one into a disco-esque dance track.


miami horror#1. Miami Horror Feat. Danny Pratt – Dark Love

soundcloud.com/miami-horror

Best Miami Horror track to date, and it’s not even close. At least, to me. The band known for making fun dance pop music released a new album a couple weeks ago, which gave us the brilliant Dark Love. Been a huge Miami Horror fan since I first saw them open up for Cut Copy (at least I think it was Cut Copy… maybe it was Miike Snow… whatever), and I’m glad to see them only getting better with age.
