Outside

I would be a fool to not post this track, which is the latest single from Calvin Harris' upcoming album Motion due out November 4. It was Grimes who once said something like, "If I hate a song the first time I listen to it, I know I'm going to go back to it and love it" (or something along those lines in less than 140 characters)... but that is how I felt about this one. At first I was like, meh, this is repetitive and whatever like it's fine. And then it just kind of hits you like a crazy obsession, and that's putting it lightly since this song has been on repeat for the past two days. Upon peeping at the track list of Motion I see collaborations with the likes of HAIM, Big Sean, Gwen Stefani, and Tinashe. Wtf Calvin this sounds too good to be true. Let's hope it delivers as much as his previous and too-catchy-to-even-vocalize work.

Don't Leave

Nothing like a good Ellie Goulding cameo in a song. I haven't heard from Seven Lions since their equally awesome track "Strangers," featuring Tove Lo. I love how slow this one starts out and keeps a pretty steady rhythm throughout. "Don't Leave" is part of their EP Worlds Apart, which I hope to get around to listening to soon.

Young Hearts Remixed // The Chainsmokers

Hey remember when I posted that song Young Hearts by Strange Talk a few weeks ago??? Well yeah it's back with a fantastic twist, with help from one of my favorite DJ duos, The Chainsmokers. The song, as I previously wrote, was pretty spectacular untouched, but this remixed just gives it a little more love with some dope drops that will undeniably make you want to dance.

Also, here are some more of my favorites by The Chainsmokers, who add excellent elements to songs in each and every one of their remixes.

You Don't Know Remixed

I don't know what it is about Big Sean's voice (I think it's rather swarthy), but it always feels like it flows so smoothly over any track. I can't get Gazzo's remix of his song You Don't Know featuring Ellie Goulding out of my head. (Also for some reason I'm rather obsessed with the line "I know, I know, I know I'm the reason you get dressed up/ I know, I know, I know I'm the reason you get messed up"... don't ask.) At first the drop seemed too unexpected to me, but then I warmed up to it, especially as it slowed down. I think this remix is very well done and suggest you take a listen here:
