Knocker:
Him & I’ by G-Eazy & Halsey

  • G-Eazy hooks up with his girlfriend singer Halsey for this romantic duet, which details a story of two star-crossed lovers.  According to Halsey, this song is inspired by the romantic relationship of the notorious criminal duo Bonnie & Clyde. G-Eazy also confirmed this by saying that he and Halsey are like them, that they are “crazy in love, like, we would kill for each other, we would die for each other kind of thing."

Debuts:
‘Homemade Dynamite (Remix)’ by Lorde ft. Khalid, Post Malone & SZA

  • Lorde explained the lyrical content of this song back in June last year. She said, “Sometimes it is just about having your arms around your friend's shoulders and being drunk and being into the same song."

Finesse (Remix)’ by Bruno Mars ft. Cardi B

  • The opening drum pattern to this song takes direct inspiration from the intro to Bell Biv Devoe’s 1990 new jack swing classic “Poison.
  • If you are wondering what the word “finesse” means, it is a noun that describes the unique ability of an individual to move in a smooth manner.”

GOSSIP – CHARLI XCX

Yesterday, Charli XCX was included in a list of the “7 bands we took for granted in 2017”, an article published by Phoenix New Times. According to the piece, it is “baffling” that Charli XCX’s songs haven’t had any greater success than it deserves. The Times said that her album Pop 2, which includes the song ‘Babygirl’, “sounds like pop music beamed in from the future”.

#1 – ‘We Could Go Back’ by Jonas Blue ft. Moelogo

  • Jonas Blue first released this track back in October through the YouTube music channel “The Vibe Guide” where the video to this song garnered a million and a half views. Billboard described this song “soulful” and “fit for a bonfire on the beach”.
