Morgan Page's collaboration with Sultan & Ned Shepard, BT and Angela McCluskey on "In The Air" is a bonafide dance smash in the U.S. that has some major pop crossover potential, especially in Europe. No wonder that the GRAMMY nominated DJ/producer upped the ante and delivered a music video to go with the soaring tune. Watch the video exclusively here on ArjanWrites.com.
Filmed in the lush Hollywood Hills and during one of Page's DJ performances, the imagery of the video is the perfect backdrop for "In The Air" that perfectly balances folky understones with pulsing dance beats. Page has said that "In The Air" is a song about "the excitement of being in the moment," and that sums it up perfectly.
"In The Air" debuted at number 9 on the Billboard Dance Radio Chart and is currently holding steady in the Dance/Club Billboard Chart as well. Make sure to catch Page on his "In The Air" club tour that kicked off last month and will conclude on January 7 at the W Hotel in South Beach, FL.
Swedish pop singer De-Lor (aka Sebastian Michael) is currently spending time in the U.S. to attend Boston's famed Berklee College of Music. When he's not learning about music theory, he has been working in the studio to work on his own music inspired by some of the great pop, dance and R&B producers of our time.
I alerted you about De-Lor's "That We Lovd" back in August and now this rising new talent is introducing a bunch more new tunes. Last month, he released his "J'adore" mixtape, a fine and fresh compilation of electro-edged pop songs with a bold hip hop flavor that is mighty infectious. Check out the mixtape's lead track "Out Of My League" that features De-Lor on vocals and also features his pals Kinetics and One Love. It's a buzzing slice of radio-ready pop that's hella catchy and has great potential. Download the entire mixtape here.
De-Lor likes to refer to his music as "futuristic electro pop," which is a pretty decent description of his music, but I think there's way more to it than just that. Like I wrote before, it's De-Lor's voice and delivery that truly makes his music stand out from the pack. He doesn't serve up your cookie-cutter when boy-meets-synth kind of DYI pop. De-Lor firmly injects his music with a soulful, confident and emotive quality that captured me right from the first note he sang. (Download MP3)
One of the most anticipated hip hop albums of the season is Yelawolf's major label debut "Radioactive" that drops in stores tomorrow. The Alabama rapper has been hailed by many fans and industry insiders as one of the most promising new forces in hip hop, and he was signed to Eminem's label imprint for Interscope earlier this year.
After playing shows, releasing mixtapes and many noteworthy collaborations, this bad-ass emcee is finally hitting the big time with "Radioactive" that is an inspired collection of chart-ready hip hop grooves.
There's one track on "Radioactive" that pop aficionados among you should check out. Yelawolf's "Animal" was produced by super beatmeister Diplo and features none other than Canadian pop darling Fefe Dobson. Set to Diplo's grinding, DIY styled hip hop beat, Dobson complements Yelawolf's spitfire rhymes nicely with her sweet-tinged vocals. "Animal" may be a little too rough around the edges for some of you pop fans out there, but it is nice to hear Dobson spotlighted on such a big debut LP.
If you're feeling adventurous, make sure to also check out Yelawolf's hip hop ballad "Write Your Name" featuring Moua Moua that was produced by French duo J.U.S.T.I.C.E.
