BLUE | marina & the diamonds

It's here! BLUE is finally here! I've been waiting for this song, ever since Marina began discussing her forthcoming album FROOT in interviews. I'll admit it though, I'm biased. Blue is my favorite color. 

Though the song talks about her relationship woes and regretting breaking up with a past lover, Marina sings it to an upbeat tempo. Let's dance the pain away! Haha. She "doesn't want to feel blue anymore." 

It's great to hear her sing like this - reaching for happiness. Her last few track releases were a little on the darker side of the emotional spectrum. But "Blue" brings us out of the dark, by dancing away from the sadness. You go, girl!

I'm so happy to be seeing her at Coachella in less than a month!!!!! WOOO!! Weekend 1!!

Are you also going to Coachella? Weekend 1? Catch me there, dancing my ass off to Marina! 

FOLLOW | mary j. blige x disclosure

Earlier today, another collaborative track by Mary J. Blige and Disclosure was released. In true Disclosure form, "Follow" has their signature sound all over it. And, I couldn't be happier. Disclosure = happy times. In Mary J's words, 

"Give me all or give me nothing, 

Give me love or give it up"

Disclosure is always one of the best sets I see at music festivals. They never disappoint. I hope they play Coachella again, next year. I'm ready to dance my ass off to them again in the desert.

FROOT | marina & the diamonds

Welcome the return of Marina and the Diamonds. After the death of Electra Heart last year, Marina Diamandis is back with FROOT. As evidenced by the titled-track, Marina is now moving into some new territory -- with a 70s disco-influenced sound.

"FROOT" serves as the leading single for her upcoming album (to be released April 6, 2015). At first listen, I was slow to like the track. However, it grows on you. By the 3-5 listen, I was singing and dancing along. Goodbye Electra Heart, hello new FROOTy Marina.

Earlier this week, Marina wrote on her Facebook page that she will be releasing a new track every month leading up to the album's release in April. I am most excited to hear "Blue,""probably my biggest sounding song" (TheLineOfBestFit). You know what else happens in April? Coachella! Is it too much to ask that she play at next year's Coachella?! 

What do you guys think of her new sound? Like it?

TASTE IT | little boots

English singer Little Boots (Victoria Hesketh) is back, and taking full control over her musical endeavors. Hence, the title of her upcoming EP: Business Pleasure.

"Taste It" is the leading single. The track is true to who Little Boots is as an artist: experimental pop. With years of fine tuning her craft, the track is a refined track of experimental pop.

"Can you taste it on your lips like liquorice?," she asks. To answer your question, Little Boots, I like this first taste of your new material. Now, gimme more. 

With a new album coming out soon, and a tour to promote said album (I hope), here's hoping she also plays at Coachella 2015.
