PopKiller - 9 Fav New Alt Pop Tracks
by ClaireDallas
6/15/12
Hi Internet! Welcome to our weekly installation of the best pop latest music tracks that aren’t on the radio! (Except Usher. Everyone loves Usher.) We’re gonna start it off with a couple of local (for us cool kids here in LA) bands, get into some dubstep and electro flavored pop choons in the middle, and finish it up with a nice surprise (!) from everyone’s favorite ex-trainwreck who is also the princess of pop. And when I say surprise I mean... well, you’ll see.
The Colourist - Wishing Wells
The Colourist are an indie-pop band from LA with a hot chick who plays drums, AND sings. I think I just came. Do I need to say more? Just watch the video. Oh, and if you’re in LA (and 21+ or rockin’ a nice fake), they have a residency at the Bootleg Bar for free all of June, every Monday!
The Devious Means - A New Sound (Moderne Man Remix)
One of the best new bands coming out of Long Beach... keep an eye on em. Maybe two.
Krewella - Killin' It (Cry Wolf Studio Acoustic Cover)
Gorgeous... check out our article on why Krewella is going to win everything because they can actually write songs, here.
Usher - 2nd Round (prod. Diplo)
Another Usher + Diplo collab from the deluxe version of his new album. True to Diplo form, it sounds like something you’d hear in a grimy club somewhere tropical.
Reverse Heart (Eminem Mashup)- TKNIK
A French very cool producer I just started following on his SoundCloud...or did he follow me? Either way...this is a nice and different Eminem mashup. Fuck...another Frenchy doing cool stuff in electronicish world.
Hadouken! - Bad Signal
Hadouken mashes it up with Diana Ross’ “You Keep Me Hanging On” complete with dubstep and British rapping. Sounds crazy, but it’s working for me!
Britney Spears: “Hey, My Pussy is Hanging Out!”
What better way to wrap up the PopKiller post than with the Princess of Pop herself, Britney Spears. Listen closely as the song ends and Miss B forgets she had an open mic on... Hey ladies, I know we’ve all accidentally had our pussy hanging out at one time or another. Pussy happens!
Oh Britney... Maybe some underwear next time? I thought she learned that lesson back in 2007. Well my pop princesses-in-training, that’s all folks!! For this week anyways. The world of pop music never sleeps, (can music sleep?) so I’m sure we’ll be back next week with more of the <a href="http://www.bitcandy.com/bits/music/blogsonmusic">Latest Music Tracks</a> of the pop persuasion.
