So when you think of Passion Pit, you may think twinkling sounds, high falsettos, whimsical worlds of heartbreak, love, melancholy, etc… you may just think of that advertisement with “Sleepyhead” in it, or their festival appearances all over the world.
I doubt Juicy J (of Three 6 Mafia & “Bandz a Make Her Dance” Fame) comes to mind.
Alright, so everyone knows the “Harlem Shake” by now thanks to the power of viral videos. Baauer has made his throne a top the Hot 100 this week thanks to the inclusion of YouTube video plays now tallied. For those who pay attention to electronic, trap, and indie music, “Harlem Shake” is nothing new, in fact, I moved on to other tracks by Baauer relatively quickly.
Yesterday, for Valetine’s Day, two of the most mesmerizing UK acts gifted the world with stripped down covers of Pop’s biggest songs with stunning and emotional results.
The XX tackle the subtle and overlooked Beyonce songs “I Miss You.” The track is written by none other than Grammy winner and everyone’s current favourite, Frank Ocean.
Justin Timberlake follows up his Bruno Mars-ish retro vibes with the video for “Suit & Tie.” The song has received mixed reactions, but the public has ate it up leading to another hit for Mr. Timberlake. The video, directed by David Fincher, follows a Las Vegas act celebrating the best life has to offer in the materialistic and sexiest of ways.
