Jammin' with Jonny

Tkay Maidza is an Australian singer-songwriter & rapper who just debuted her self-titled album Tkay in the U.S., and I have to say I'm LOVING her new & different sound. The 22-year-old keeps her vocals simple & whispy on her tracks, but she definitely can throw down a rap verse that can go up against the other female rappers already on the music scene. Her sound is sort of reminiscent of M.I.A. My two favorite songs from her new album are titled "Follow Me" & "Simulation." "Follow Me" is a fun pop song with a catchy chorus that anyone can easily sing to. It shows Tkay's softer side, but don't let her angelic face fool you, because she also has some explicit tracks on this album as well to show her bad girl side. "Simulation" is also another fun pop song that I can see being a radio-friendly hit for her. The beat is fun with its percussion & beat drop during the chorus. You can listen to both tracks below.

If you haven't heard of Anderson East yet, then once you do you'll be adding him to your playlist. But you may have heard his name. That's because he's currently dating country star Miranda Lambert. But aside from that, the 30-year-old is a true talent with a blues sound that's reminiscent of the legendary Otis Redding. East is from Alabama, and his music and voice stays true to his southern roots. My favorite track off his new album, Encore , is titled "If You Keep Leaving Me." East starts off with his raspy but yet calm voice, but make no mistake he reaches the chorus and that's when you begin to feel his soul as he belts it out. Keep your eye on this guy, because he is going to go places! Below you can listen to his songs "If you Keep Leaving Me" & "King For A Day."

Meet 21-year-old Australian singer "Cloves." She has released her new single titled, "Bringing the House Down," and it's giving me all the retro feels. Her voice is reminiscent of the 60s & 70s. It has such a wide-range from low to high, and it's a seamless transition between both on this song. The second you hear the guitar strums in the beginning, you are hooked, but then you add Cloves vocals, and as soon as you know it, you're singing along to its catchy chorus. Cloves is making her mark on the music scene with this as her first single. I'm thinking we'll see more of her in the near future. You can watch the music video for "Bringing the House Down" below. If you like it, then you can also download the song on iTunes.

Rising pop star Tove Styrke has released another fun pop banger! The 25 year-old Swedish singer's voice is a refreshing return to the fun pop music we all miss and love to sing along to. Tove's latest release, "Changed My Mind" will have you NOT changing your mind that the girl has talent. Its fun beat is nothing but radio friendly and her vocals are smooth on top. Not to mention, the lyrics to this song are catchy as hell. Be sure to keep an eye on Tove, because she is only going to get bigger.  So take a LISTEN below! You won't regret it.
