Many are familiar with Amanda as the fiery vixen appearing alongside crowd and critical darlings Spankrock, and as part of the Philly-based pop group Sweatheart. Enlisting the help of uber-produers Diplo, Switch and XXXChange, Amanda Blank has made a record that is light years ahead of what anyone could’ve expected. Balancing a razor-sharp wit & vocal dexterity with an unmatched stage presence, this is a woman to watch. Other featured guests on the record include Spank Rock, Santigold, Lykke Li and the Cool Kids.
  


Amanda Blank - Shame On Me

Hope For The Hopeless contains eleven songs narrowed down from forty-three with the help of multi-platinum producer John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band). Themes of frustration buffered by optimism are consistent throughout. “San Francisco” is an uptempo, amusing response to heartbreak. “Heaven,” which Brett describes as “the whole album in one song,” is “about being consumed with day-to-day struggles, wondering if there’s more out there, and trying to remember that things can get better. It takes being present to a bigger picture.” 

Brett Dennen - Heaven

His most captivating work to date, Draw The Line is the rich, warm, organic sound of David Gray reborn and starts a new chapter in the storytelling for which he is known. Recorded in London, and produced by the artist himself, David Gray’s voice and song-writing are as distinct as ever on the release, showcasing the intensity with which he performs. Ripe with melancholic beauty, key tracks on the album include the glorious sublimely layered “Fugitive,” the album’s lead single, the pensive “Draw the Line” and the emotive composition “Nemesis.” Also featured on the album are two duets not to be missed with Jolie Holland and Annie Lennox.   


David Gray - Fugitive

THE ODD COUPLE” explores the forbidden underworld of popular music and human psychology, starting at the intersection of pulsating hooks and pure emotion. “THE ODD COUPLE” is heralded by the full-tilt psychedelic soul stomper “Run”, a leaked track that is now impacting heavily at radio. “Run” has been rushed to iTunes early, and a mind-bending music video is now in production, directed by the filmmaking team known as Happy.

Gnarls Barkley - Going On

A dark baroque beginning that introduces a mind fuck of an album proves that Justice’s unique talent is to be found where least expected. Take for example “Let There Be Light” and its strident angry electro driven by a jabbing bassline, “D.A.N.C.E”, a pure piece of vicious house sang innocently by a choir of children, “Newjack” a funky parody of the opulent times of the French Touch

A kind of musical opera marked with religious and baroque symbols, where the melodies are ripped to shreds by the beats, where electro teaches rock a lesson and where pop gets a botox injection. Rarely in the history of French house music has a first album lived up so well to expectancies. 

Justice - Dance
