So I just joined this pretty nifty website titled This Is My Jam. While browsing around I was inspired to start a little something something. I introduce you to the first installment of "Rotation Station". Here I'll update you on the top 5 songs that I just can't get enough of. I'll more than likely swap this with the Song of The Week spot because they are basically the same thing, just with an extra four songs. No need to be repetitive, right?  Passion Pit  - Constant Conversations There once was a time when I was overly obsessed with Passion Pit and secretly in love with Michael Angelakos. Although some may beg to differ, Mic...

Last year JoJo took matters into her own hands and gave us her take on Drake's Marvin's Room. The buzz surrounding this garnered over 27 million hits on Youtube which is a major plus, especially for an unofficial remix. As fate would have it JoJo teamed up with October's Very Own Noah "40" Shebib.  With all the label drama going on right now and the constant pushing back of her forthcoming album, Jumping Trains, I wasn't sure when we'd be hearing new material so I'm super stoked about this.  Don't get me wrong JoJo has the vocal range to sing just about anything thrown her way but I think sexy/sultry suits her well. Check out the song be...

I can honestly say that Elle Varner's Perfectly Imperfect is an album that I am anticipating.  I haven't been disappointed with anything that she has released as of yet and judging by what I've heard, the album will be fire. I already knew I'd love this song just by listening to the first five seconds.  Elle's EP Conversational Lush served as a good introduction to the person known as Elle Varner and I think that Perfectly Imperfect will be an even better introduction to the artist that we're all still getting to know.  On the EP Elle gave us a little taste of what she has to offer and showed us her humorous personality.  I still play "W...

Kimbra has finally released a video for the ever so poppington Two Way Street. The video was directed by veteran Matthew Rolston, the man responsible for TLCs "Creep" and Destiny Child's "Stand Up For Love". It features Kimbra running through a forest jumping through scene after scene while being chased by a man. The chase seems playful at first but the man seems all too determined to get to our dear Kimbra. She's seen walking in the middle of a two way street and I'm sure the premise of the video has a lot to do with that ahem...hint the title of the song. Kimbra outshines in this video with her beautiful bright eyes and cherry pai...

Yuna is a 25 year old Malaysian songstress who encompasses a sound all of her own. Her majestic melodies are light and refreshing but still hold the power to elevate you to the next level. She's been writing her own music since the age of 14 and has performed in numerous venues in Malaysia. Once Indie-Pop record label heard the songstress blow, they were on the next plane to Malaysia in order to convince her to sign a deal with New York based record label, Fader Label and yes she took the deal! She's received honorable praise from artists such as Pharrell Williams and Russell Simmons and has had critics raving since the release of h...

Caught A Ghost is a three-piece band comprised of singer/songwriter Jesse Nolan, drummer Stephen Edelstein, and actress/singer Tessa Thompson from Los Angeles, California. I stumbled upon this awesome band while watching an episode of Suits over the weekend and they are pretty rad. The addition of their song Time Go definitely made the last scene of that episode. The band infuses the elements of classic mo-town, dubstep, and contemporary electronica with hip-hop to create their undeniable unique sound. They have performed with Gotye and are currently working on a few other shows. There's not much info on the band as of now but from w...

Darnit! As soon as I finally decide to write a post about my favorite summer jams I stumble upon the most epic summer tune ever. Ugh that would happen to me wouldn't it -- but you know what they say, better late than never.  With that said I would like to add this new tune by Little Dragon to my  current summer playlist.  Little Drag-ON! (as I like to call them) teamed up with Absolut Vodka to promote their new drink Absolut Punch.  Now I'm more of a wine tasting kind of gal but the video for this single is making me a little thirsty. And now I want to dance.  Can I just add that Yukimi looks stunning in that chocolate dress. Love it!...
