Ye talking about the time before he was famous will always sound funny now that he’s a superstar. The story of his job before music is pretty cool and the hook is great.

The first two verses are great in their own right, but Kanye’s last verse is the best he’s ever spit in my opinion.

7. Pusha T feat. Kanye West – New God Flow

New God Flow

Kanye delivered his long sprawling verse full of knowledge, ignorance and quotables at the end of a couple great Pusha T verses on this track. What more can you ask for?

Dark Fantasy

This song sets the mood for what is arguably Kanye’s best album. Can we get much higher?

Can’t Tell Me Nothing

Kanye’s first real street anthem and one of the catchiest songs I’ve ever heard.

3. Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger

Gold Digger

Kanye took his own style of soul sampling and flipped it on it’s head here. The most memorable song from Kanye’s early catalog.

2. Kanye West – Runaway

Runaway

A really unorthodox song with an amazingly creative and innovative video, along with a dope Pusha T feature? This is Kanye’s version of an apology and it’s genuis.

1. Kanye West – Power

Power

This song sums up everything Kanye is about. It really is THE Kanye West song of all Kanye West songs.

From theberry.com.

There’s something about the rapping style of Ben Haggerty, otherwise known as Macklemore, which is so story-like that it makes it so ear-worthy. Even with his hit Thrift Shop, you can’t help but love it because it’s such a story, and a funny one at that. The American rapper seems to be taking the Hip Hop scene to new dimensions of story-telling, giving us a sense of his style. His single Can’t Hold Us, featuring Ray Dalton, seems to encourage us to listen to lyrics; his style is individual and seems to be his niche. Mix this with a killer beat and you’ve got yourself a pretty good track!

WATCH: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Can’t Hold Us ft. Ray Dalton

Macklemore’s debut album, The Heist, produced with Ryan Lewis could be an album to watch out for; it already sold 78,000 copies in its first week, and it was debuted in October 2012. It’s fair to say that Macklemore is making a name for himself in Hip Hop with his own stamp on Rap. I personally can’t wait for more collaboration with bigger names and artists, perhaps Pharrell Williams? Who knows, but I’m sure that we will get something newer and better from Mr. Macklemore soon!

Cut Your Hair – Mad Love

Now this is possibly the strangest but catchiest song I’ve heard for a while. Opening with the lyrics  “Raveee…” does make me think “what is this”? But I’m soon over that when I hear the wonderfully soothing guitar strings combine with the melodic piano riffs and vocals that may remind you of something from the 90’s . At first I assumed this was a generic indie pop band from Manchester or somewhere but after a little bit of research I found out they’re from the wonderful city of Barcelona, in Spain and I fall in love with them a bit more. The video for the song itself is very artistic and features the Spanish trio dancing on the roof of a building, playing the bongos and hanging about some abandoned warehouses covered in graffiti.

The single was released on 22^nd April on Mushroom Label and will not disappoint if you’re looking for a summer style tune!

Man Like Me

 
Do you remember that quirky IKEA advert that went on about parties in kitchens? Well, you may recognise these guys and their vocals from precisely that. Man Like Me are a North London trio of absolutely wacky music and although it sounds like they can’t really be bothered, their mix of electro/ska/grime/…whatever it is, works really quite well. Here’s a song that I genuinely can’t stop listening to:
“London Town” – Man Like Me

They’ll have you dancing for sure… so don’t miss them at The Faversham, Leeds at 9pm!

Night Engine

Now, do you fancy a bit of rock, but not too heavy? Maybe a bit funky? Then Night Engine will keep you just right. This London based band produce some sort of crazy funk rock stuff that you’ve probably heard b
efore, but I bet you’ve never seen it live! Top track to look out for and dance to: “I’ll Make It Worth Your While”. Catch them at Nation of Shopkeepers, Leeds at 2pm.

John Newman

John Newman is well known for his work with Rudimental’s and their top tracks “Feel The Love” and “Not Giving In” graced with his amazing vocals. If you haven’t heard these gems and have absolutely no clue what John Newman sounds like, just think… groove mixed with a bit of Motown all blended into a smoothie of brilliant and pure soul. He’ll have you swaying from side to side in no time. Check him out at The Faversham, Leeds, at 7pm.

Syron

Along with John Newman, you may have heard Daisy Russell AKA Syron’s lovely vocals featuring in some of Rudimental’s tracks, especially the absolute tune “Spoons” also featuring MNEK. Syron is making a name for herself with backing from the XX and Rudimental and many other DJ’s… The 19 year old South London singer songwriter is rising up and you’ll definitely not want to be the one to say “you missed her” at Live at Leeds! Her electronic/house style tunes will get you grooving at The Faversham at 6pm.

The post Small artists to see at Live at Leeds Festival 2013 appeared first on ZME Music.

1. “On Fire” by Loon Lake- Australia

Australia is just booming with amazing indie tracks this year. Loon Lake’s “On Fire” is no exception. After releasing their EP Not Just Friends back in 2011 and a second EP titled Thirty-Three in 2012, the Aussies are back with “On Fire”. The raw garage sound coupled with the emotional vocals are refreshing and seem to be getting back to the roots of rock ’n’ roll.

2. “Royals” by Lorde- New Zealand

If you like Sleigh Bells, you will like this track. Lorde is the stage name of Ella Yelenich- O’Connor, a girl in her late teens from New Zealand. Her EP titled The Love Club is not as intense as Sleigh Bells, but is more haunting. Think of The xx on steroids.

3. “When I Get Older” by Wild Party- Texas, U.S.A.

Being from Texas myself, I love when an exciting band from my home state comes on the scene. This indie power-pop band from San Antonio was thrust on the music scene in 2010 when they went on tour in the U.K. In January of 2013, they released a music video for “When I Get Older”, a simple yet catchy tune. The charm of this band stems from the lead singer Lincoln Kreifels’s easy-going vocals, making the band instantly likeable. Be sure to check out their EP titled All Nighter set to release on May 21.

4. “Entropic” by Coastal Cities- U.K.

The members of Coastal Cities met while in detention. Talk about rock-n’-roll. These five English teenagers are capable of turning out impeccable tunes with addicting jangle pop and post-punk sounds. If you like Two Door Cinema Club or The Wombats, be sure to give these young British blokes a chance.

5. “Adrenaline” by Sam La More ft. Gary Go (Kilter Remix)- Australia

This is the perfect track for music listeners who are into dance or electro-pop. Both Kitler and Sam La More (a.k.a. Sam Littlemore) are Australian music producers. The lyrics are easy to sing along to and the beats are enticing. Put this on your party or workout playlist as the track is true to its name.

6. “Hey Now” by Martin Solveig and the Cataracs ft. Kyle- France/California, U.S.A.

Summertime arrived early with this Parisian DJ’s dance tune. Though “Hey Now” is not as good as Solveig’s track “Hello” from a few years ago, this song has all the necessary components for a popular dance track. Paired with a hip-hop and indie-pop duo from California called the Cataracs, this peppy dance-pop tune will make you yearn for summer.

Album name:

Fall Out Boy have had an odd transition in the last decade. They went cult act to left-field success story when “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance” blew up on MTV propelling 2005’s From Under the Cork Tree to sell three million copies.  When Infinity on High dropped less than two years later, it debuted at number one on Billboard and suddenly they were playing arenas.

The record reflected it.  It strayed from the pop-punk they had perfected.  There were orchestrations, synths, overproduction and a piano ballad.  It was a pop-punk band that wanted to make a Statement.  They then followed this with Folie à Deux just a year and a half later.  It was more scattershot than Infinity, despite being a regression sonically, with the band sounding unsure whether to further progress or return to their roots.  They wanted it both ways.  The next year, the band announced an indefinite hiatus.

Then came the solo ventures.  Joe Trohan and Andy Hurley formed the hardrock supergroup The Damned Things.  Hurley also dabbled in hardcore punk.  Pete Wentz tried his hand at avant-garde electronica with Black Cards.  And Patrick Stump decided he wanted to a synth-pop star.  He released two EPs and a solo record, Soul Punk.  None of these were well-received critically or commercially.

This brings us to Fall Out Boy’s comeback record, Save Rock and Roll.  OK, first things first: Nothing about this record will do anything of the sort.  There are few, if any, rock leanings on this record.  In fact, the album is essentially Soul Punk 2.  Synths and programmed drums drive every composition here, not guitar chords. Save Rock is a pop record through and through.

Make no mistake, though: FOB were always a pop band; the difference is, before they wrote punk songs with a (brilliant) pop sensibility.  As a result, they accidentally discovered success.  Here, they started with pop and threw out the punk part. In essence, they’re cutting out the detours to mainstream success with EDM-infused schlock.  But it’s really great schlock. Stump’s songwriting is as strong as it’s ever been. The sexy strut of “Just One Yesterday,” the tumbling descent of the oh’s in “The Mighty Fall,” the shout-for-the-sky chorus of “The Phoenix” – it’s all here in spades.  Every track has at least two hooks that will stick in your head after a single listen.  That’s the problem, though. Their previous records had an earnestness of which Save Rock is completely devoid.

So we have a seeming cognitive dissonance of “we’re a rock band who want rock’s return” paired with “we made a Top 40 EDM record called Save Rock and Roll.”  It’s this mindset that probably explains the guest list: Big Sean, Courtney Love, Foxes and Elton John.  It’s as schizophrenic as it is nonsensical.  Big Sean’s verse on “Fall” is as sophomoric as it is out of place, including the utter throwaway line “I’m either fuckin’ or workin’ so I’m the grind don’t stop.”  Courtney Love doesn’t so much sing as semi-coherently rant through “Rat a Tat.”  “Yesterday,” conversely finds a nice harmony between Foxes and Stump.  Then there’s the legend, pulling up the rear on the title track.  John is the only indication on the entire record suggesting FOB still want to make rock music.

Which makes Save Rock and Roll such a bizarre listen.  Ultimately, the album alternates between ear candy and endless frustration.  It’s a great pop record in terms of composition and execution, but it’s also disingenuous posturing.  “Put on your war paint,” commands Stump at the record’s open as some sort of call to arms for (rock) fans.  “Here comes this rising tide,” he observes in the first verse before asserting in the chorus that he’ll change rock like a remix and raise it like a phoenix.  Yeah, that’d be great if Fall Out Boy kept in mind that you need the guitar in order to save rock and roll.
