What's Hot

Selah Sue is probably new to you. She’s just starting out here in the States, but we love everything about her. Her music is honest, soulful, energizing. Her voice has tinges of classic rock, reggae, soul, R&B, hip hop and is at the same time, something entirely unique. Her style is cool, comfortable, sexy and breezy. And most importantly, there’s something about her that’s just so honest and truthful in a way that makes it feel good to hear her music and her story.

Check out this exclusive interview with TRAVIS PORTER, who just released their debut album “From Day 1″ and stopped by to give a special interview for their fans before their show in Los Angeles.

As a music supervisor, I’m constantly consuming music, sometimes at such a high volume I don’t even sit back and enjoy the good music I find. I just grab them, log them, and hope that I can use them in a scene or commercial at some point.

Gary Clark Jr, is a psychedelic soul blues rock guitarist and singer from Austin, TX.  From the few songs I’ve heard you can hear and feel the Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan influences.  He’s obviously a student of his craft.  But, there’s more to it than that for me.  He’s 28, which would have made it nearly impossible for him to escape the influence of the hip hop and grunge music of the 90’s.  He has a similar onstage power and intensity of a Kurt Cobain and an honesty in his lyrics like 2pac.  I’ve been waiting for an artist to organically embody all these elements for a long time and I think we’ve finally got our guy.

Santigold may have claimed the spotlight after the release of her self-titled debut album in 2008, but it will be this year, with the release of her newest effort, Master of My Make Believe, that the Brooklyn artist will really get her due. In an exclusive interview with Myspace, Santigold not only reveals her songwriting practices but also waxes poetic on the idea of songwriting in general. That is, what is it about music that compels us as a listener?
