    DON’T WAKE ME UP/CHRIS BROWN

    The 23-year-old just released his new song called, "Don't Wake Me Up," which will appear on his next album, Fortune, due out July 3rd. Produced by Benny Benassi and Freeschool, bears some resemblance to Benny's previous collabo with Breezy: our personal favorite "Beautiful People."

  • THIS IS LOVE/WILL.I.AM feat EVA SIMMONS
    THIS IS LOVE/WILL.I.AM feat EVA SIMMONS

    For his song "This Is Love," will.i.am enlisted Dutch singer Eva Simons to add some powerhouse vocals to the raging party track. The searing dance production is highlighted by Simons' diva-tude as her voice soars over will's creation, full of big chants, bumping beats and dirty synths.

  • WIDE AWAKE/KATY PERRY
    WIDE AWAKE/KATY PERRY

    Katy Perry’s new song, “Wide Awake” (which she performed for the first time at the 2012 Billboard Awards), is quite literally about dreaming. The music artist’s forthcoming 3D concert film "Part of Me" is all about her personal and professional dreams becoming a reality.

  • THE WALK/MAYER HAWTHORNE feat RIZZLE KICKS
    THE WALK/MAYER HAWTHORNE feat RIZZLE KICKS

    Rizzle Kicks making more power moves by jumping on a track with Stones Throw crooner Mayer Hawthorne.

  • THE VEDLT/DEADMAU5
    THE VEDLT/DEADMAU5

    Here Deadmau5 drops off a new track, perfect for those relaxing Sunday afternoons. "The Veldt" accounts for a calm take from the ever-popular DJ/producer, noting accompanying vocals which mesh together quite effortlessly on the release.
