Major Lazer (producers Diplo and Switch of Santigold and M.I.A. fame) have a hot summer song from their album, Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do, and it features Nina Sky and Ricky Blaze. It is entitled Keep It Goin' Louder and it's infectious. The beat makes you want to dance as soon as you hear it. The drums are irresistible. It gets repetitive after awhile but it's a lot of fun. I love the Nina Sky bit: "I got the girls in the truck, about six chicks deep and you know cause we're rolling that we're straight sexy". There are some great synths in it as well. Enjoy!
Another notable song is the second single of British producer/singer Calvin Harris' new album: Ready for the Weekend. The song has the same title and is lighter and more summery than his number 1 from a few months ago: I'm Not Alone. Weekend is fun Harris-fare until the belter of a chorus kicks in featuring a rip-roaring vocal by Mary Pearce. The verses feature a great piano bit and some "ahhs" in the background. It will sound great blasting out of radios in England this summer. His new album should be out August 17th in the UK. Sorry for the radio man talking at the beginning and end of the song. It was the only version I could find.
