Fall Out Boy "Young Volcanoes"

Fall Out Boy are building up the hype for their comeback "Save Rock and Roll". The tickets for the tour of the same name went on sale today and to celebrate, they treated fans to a shiny new tune in the form of "Young Volcanoes". A blend of Imagine Dragons with a dash of "Hey Soul Sister" Train is what you get with this one and it sounds amazing! It is less intense than their previous two tracks, but still anthemic in nature. They are three for three so far and I'm pretty stoked for the album!

Jay Park "1Hunnit" Music Video

Jay Park has released the music video for one of the three songs that will be included on his "Joah" digital single. "1Hunnit" features frequent collaborator Dok2 and was produced by Lo Def. The lyrics are a bit more explicit (which isn't bad but I'm not used to the extreme cussing). The music is similar to "Appetizer", which I wasn't too fond of. Hoping that the other two songs will be better and when he releases a full LP, he gives us what made "New Breed" so iconic.

2AM Club "Not Your Boyfriend"

After killing the masses with their epically flaw-free mixtape "Moon Tower" (which a review will be up shortly) only two weeks ago, 2AM Club are continuing the slaughterfest with the release of the first (or second, not sure if "Too Fucked Up To Call" is the first) single from their sophomore effort. "Not Your Boyfriend" is much more dancier than their previous material and like its predecessor, it screams mainstream smash! If people like Mac Miller and Hot Chelle Rae, who make similar sounding music to can chart decently, there is no reason why 2AM Club shouldn't at least hit the top forty with this one! Check the single below and make sure to purchase it on iTunes!

Graded Song:G-Dragon "Michi Go"

YG Entertainment has been giving G-Dragon the major posh treatment. He came back with his group Big Bang in addition to having a solo album last year. This year, he is doing a major tour and gets to have a comeback ahead of people who should have given us two minis by now (sides eyes 2NE1). But yes, Big Bang leader and main rapper G-Dragon has premiered his brand new single "Michi Go" (Go Crazy in English). Now how does it stack up to his other songs? Someone tweeted beforehand that the song was just the male Korean language version of Rihanna's iconic "Fresh Off The Runway" and they were right. Aside from the annoying faux-step that could have been done without, the production is an exact clone of the aforementioned song. GD's rapping is decent enough, but I felt like it could have been stronger during the verses, while it was a bit too strong during the chorus. It still slays pretty much anything that has been released by male K-Rappers aside from MFBTY's "Sweet Dream" and Jay Park's comeback single (which will slay you all).
Final Grade:B-

Graded Song:Jonas Brothers "Pom Poms"

The brothers Jonas are back together after each went and did their own thing. Nick, Kevin, and Joe have been hyping up their new music with teasers K-Pop style and now we have the music video (thanks to a handy dandy leak) for their lead single "Pom Poms".
The song is pretty Disney-esque, it sounds like it would be on the next High School Musical. Lyrically, it doesn't show much growth (then again their demographic is now the Bieber demographic) and the more mature lyrics just sound off for them. It's like with "Boyfriend" where he attempted to sing in a falsetto and failed. At least with songs like "When You Look Me In The Eyes" and "Burnin Up" it sounded like they enjoyed what they were singing while this is pretty uninspired and vapid.
Final Grade:C-
The video is ridiculous. It shows the bros performing on a football field intercut with people dancing, jiving and doing other things. We know all of you are of age, but aren't they supposed to be very devout Christians? The video is anything but, with girls ass shaking, dropping it like it's hot, and that dance breakdown with Nick is just embarrassing.

Jessie Ware "Wildest Moments" (Feat. A$AP Rocky)

Miss Jessie Ware has finally revealed the second track to be included on the US and gold editions of her debut album "Devotion". This one is her stellar single "Wildest Moments" featuring one of today's go to rappers A$AP Rocky. Amazingly, the only thing added are some low growls in terms of the production. The placing of the raps and the beginning verse were kind of awkward and everything else is kept in tact. Hopefully, this will get Jessie a decent chart position here across the pond.

Chris Brown "Fine China"

Chris Brown, aside from his personal drama, is a great artist. Sure, he has made two bum albums, can't decide if he's an R&B or pop artist, but I still appreciate it. Breezy has dropped the visuals for his new single "Fine China". The song is the first offering from his "X" album coming soon. The video give me serious Michael Jackson teas as does the song. That falsetto is kinda annoying though. I mean, it's ok. Nothing special. I guess if he decides to label this an urban single, I'll wait for the pop one.
