Vinsten - Luckiest Girl

Luckiest Girl by Vinsten got a lot of attention as the theme for a Swedish web-series a couple of weeks ago. That has now led to a contract with a record label for Vinsten(a duo consisting of Calle Wachtmeister and Niklas Benjaminson) and the release of Luckiest Girl as a single, while they're working on a upcoming album.
We definitely understand why they got a contract, because this song is pretty brilliant, if we may say so. It's a southing ambient electro record with a vibrant pulsating beat in the background. Add to that a beautiful synthesized melody and emotional melancholic male vocals. Oh, how we love these kind of tunes! It reminds us a bit of Lady by the electro/house duo Modjo. Maybe it's the vocals and the tempo and monotonic beat(here not a bad thing) of the songs that makes them both ideal to have on repeat.
The only we could wish for now is for someone to make a stellar remix of these wonderful vocals.

Party Friday: The Saturdays - What about us

Here's a happy return by our favorite Saturday-girls(even though it's Friday). The group is set to conquer America with their music and a reality show on E!. This is their brand new music video and first US single for the girls ever. It does not disappoint and makes us wanna head out dancing right now. So yeah, we are... see ya on the dance floor!

Aynur Aydın - Ayrılıklar Mevsimi

This video ain't brand new, but it's a great track and Aynur Aydın is climbing the charts with this wonderful ballad in Turkey at the moment, and at that we've listened to Aynurs latest album quite a lot in the past few months and feel that we have to mention her here, but she's a Turkish popgem not to be missed in our opinion. 

25 year old Aynur is born in Germany and has been in showbiz since she was 10 years old, when she was 18 she joined a Turkish popgroup that later disbanded, but that put her on the international scene. In 2009 she began work on her first solo album. And she's been collaborating with famous Swedish hitmakers like Tony Nilsson , Moh Deneb , Darin Zanyar and Henrik Janson. What can really go wrong in talented God like pop hands like theirs? Together they've written 13 songs in English. These songs later got translated into Turkish versions and has been released on a Turkish version of the album. At first we thought that the songs were written in Turkish, since a majority of the Turkish versions sounds better than the originals. The Album is called "12 Çeşit La La - 12 Ways to La La" and for us it puts Aynur at the top along our other favourite Turkish artists.

Now on to this latest single and music video, Ayrılıklar Mevsimi. It's the fourth single to be taken off the album. It's a beautiful Turkish ballad. We'll let the video and song speak for itself. Be sure to check out her previous singles that are more upbeat like Yenildim Daima,  Yanı Başıma and İşporta.

Quentin Mosimann - Haters

The French TV-realitystar winner Quentin Mosimann seen to take a more electronic route with his 3:rd studioalbum that's is due later this year. He's probably found his inspiration while he's been having DJ-gigs on various continents during the past year. "Haters" is the first single from the upcoming album, and it's a straight out house track with hard beats and snappy synthesizers made for the clubs and arenas, not too far off from similar DJs like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii or Swedish House Mafia. What about the vocals then? They're still there off course since Quentin first and foremost is a singer. As it titles suggest he's singing the chorus is English.  I don't know if he's whole record is gonna be in English though as some sort of quest for internationalization  I hope not, but time will tell. For now we're enjoying this happy club banger at least.
