[Video Playlist of the Week] Girl Power
The first quarter of the year is coming to a close and the women of the music industry have been slaying the competition. With new releases from some of your favorite artists and some artists you should know, this week’s playlist is packed full of the latest jams. Girl power!
- Madonna - Living For Love
[youtube id="u9h7Teiyvc8" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
The queen of pop has been doing massive PR work for her new album Rebel Heart. Just this week she wrapped up “Madonna Week” on Ellen and just released tickets for her upcoming tour (35 cities in the U.S.). While her album may have dropped this week, it’s worth the listen for fans to hear the queen of pop coming back to the top.
- Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do
[youtube id="AJtDXIazrMo" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
Ellie Goulding gained some major publicity for this song, which appeared on the 50 Shades Of Grey soundtrack. While the movie was a total flop amongst critics, the song went straight to #1 in most countries and snagged the #3 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
- Phoebe Ryan - Ignition / Do You… (R.Kelly / Miguel Cover)
[youtube id="BOMWNgejuPc" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
Browsing through Spotify’s “Top Hits” playlist, I discovered Phoebe Ryan’s mashup of R.Kelly’s “Ignition” and Miguel’s “Do You…” which is adorable (if you can call a song adorable) as well as catchy. While she doesn’t have many other songs yet, I’m guessing she’ll be in the “Top Hits” playlist with another song soon.
- Charli XCX - Famous
[youtube id="5f5A4DnGtis" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
Charli XCX just released her music video for “Famous” this week, which is directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! As a Tim & Eric fan myself, I was pretty pleased with the outcome. The video and song are “#LMFAO tite.”
- Marina And The Diamonds - Forget
[youtube id="17UL5ks9amY" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
Marina And The Diamonds recently released her third album, FROOT, which has many critics fawning over her matured sound. A definite spring tune.
- Matt And Kim - Can You Blame Me
[youtube id="2L77nPwcMVs" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
Matt And Kim are about to drop their fifth studio album, New Glow, on April 7, 2015, but their newest single “Can You Blame Me” is already out for your listening pleasure. Perk: in this version of the song (Kim version), you can put your device (mobile, tablet, iPad) up to your face so it’s like Kim is singing through you.
- Florence + The Machine - St. Jude
[youtube id="xEMSJf723BI" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
The English songstress has released her first single this week from her upcoming album, How Big How Blue How Beautiful, which will be released June 1, 2015.
- Best Coast - Heaven Sent
[youtube id="EZQU30xaGxI" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
FINALLY, Best Coast are putting together their new album, which is going to be released May 5, 2015. Thus far, if “Heaven Sent” and “California Nights” are indicators of how the album will sound, fans should get pumped (even Bill Murray is a fan). It seems Bethany Cosentino has been hard at work at something other than trying to get Drake to become her BFF.
- Oh Honey - Sugar, You
[youtube id="ptt8uRAdZns" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
The two New York singers came together a couple of years ago to create Oh Honey, an alternative-pop band with acoustic flare. Their newest EP, Wish You Were Here, dropped this week via Fueled By Ramen. The band is still under the radar, but have been featured on Glee, Red Band Society and various commercials.
- Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best
[youtube id="o-nr1nNC3ds" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]
This Aussie has been getting quite the hype lately with the release of her debut album this week, Sometimes I Think And Sit And Sometimes I Just Sit, which is exceptional.
[RH First Glance] Courtney Barnett: "Avant Gardener"
They are taking music seriously in Australia. It seems like every week a new artist emerges from Australasia and this week it is the supremely talented singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett, who's debut album, The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas is due for release October 15 on House Anxiety/Marathon Artists has been steadily making a name for herself via the web. "Avant Gardener," the lead single off the upcoming project was released as a "Best New Track" on Pitchfork. In the song, Barnett croons, "I should have stayed in bed today, I much prefer the mundane," in a voice that can be most-accurately described as a dynamic female Bob Dylan. Barnett will make her US debut later this Fall at CMJs in New York City, for now, pre-order the album here or check out the track below.
