Catch the “Warriors Tongue” (Remix) MV by Masia One

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:37:55 +0000

With the April 5th release date for Masia One‘s LP, Bootleg Culture, inching closer – the MC has released a new music video project set to the remix of her lead single, “Warriors Tongue“. It’s always refreshing to see someone of the fairer sex represent in world of Hip-Hop. After a couple of listens, I think I might actually prefer this remix over the original – but maybe it’s cause it’s Friday morning and I’m partial to something lively at the moment.

Oak & Gorski Debut Latest Single – “Sounds Like Love”

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:30:02 +0000

Acoustic Cello-Rock duo Oak & Gorski have returned with a new single, the comparatively bright “Sounds Like Love”. This is the same song we shared a preview of back in December. Ken & Ed definitely went in a more up-tempo direction, a welcome change of pace for the pair. You will find the simpe lyric video above along with a way to DL the song pro-bono via the Bandcamp widget below – for a limited time of course.

It’s our first night together
And I can’t sleep a wink
I don’t wanna miss it baby
If you mumble in your sleep
I’m hoping that you’re dreaming
And I’m playing the lead
Doing something so heroic
You’ll wake up in love with me

Cold rain is pouring down
It’s pouring down and
You are sleeping to the sound
To the sound of my heart beating
It beats a pattern
It sounds a lot like love
And I can’t get enough

It feels like it’s been forever
That’s how well I know you
You and I just fit together
Wouldn’t you agree
I’ve got but one more question
I think I know the answer
50 years on down the line
I’ll still be in love with you

Cold rain is pouring down
It’s pouring down and
You are sleeping to the sound
To the sound of my heart beating
It beats a pattern
It sounds a lot like love

All the words I don’t hear them
They’re meant to hurt but I can’t hear them
It’s you and me, that’s all I hear

Cold rain is pouring down
It’s pouring down and
You are sleeping to the sound
To the sound of my heart beating
It beats a pattern
It sounds a lot like love
And I can’t get enough
It sounds a lot like love
And I can’t get enough

Passport: Brian Releases “Can’t Stop” with Jay Park & Dumbfoundead

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:59:46 +0000

In K-Pop news, Korean American singer Brian Joo has dropped a new album in the motherland called Reborn Part 1. Why this news is particularly a-Tunese worthy is because one of the singles, “Can’t Stop” features one of his fellow kyopo artists, Jay Park, along with a rap verse from California’s Dumbfoundead. Now, this particular line up is for the English version of the song, with the Korean rendition substituting another MC in for Dumb. You can grab the song on iTunes and stream it via the Youtube link below… for now.

The Youtube Pop Covers Round-Up – 1/27/12

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:11:12 +0000

Happy Friday! This is yet another collection of youtube covers, this time around the centralizing genre is Pop. There are some extremely creative visuals here, along with some of the more run-of-the-mill-and-sing-in-front-of-a-webcam varieties, but all in all there’s a little something for everyone. We’ve got tunes from various decades, dating back from the 70′s – so it’s kind of interesting to hear what was and is Pop. Enjoy!

Lookin’ Back: One Vo1ce – “When You Think About Me” (1999)

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:09:47 +0000

What were you doing in 1999? If you were the ladies of One Vo1ce, you would have been busy promoting a debut album, Just the Beginning and it’s accompanying single – “When You Think About Me”, a mild hit. Back when R&B girl groups were the craze, it was unique to see a crew of Filipino-Americans from Vallejo, California mixed in with the bunch. A couple years back they re-united to make a come back, but they’ve been relatively quiet – as I’m sure each member has moved with their individual lives, making recording and promotions challenging. It’s just weird to think that this song dropped 12 years ago.

Girls Generation Reportedly Scheduled to Appear on Live! with Kelly & the Late Show with David Letterman

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:22:06 +0000

Well I’ll be. It would seem that the WGs aren’t the only Korean import girl group to start making a promotional push on national television here in the states. Reports have been coming in that the ~~cheer-leading squad~~ Pop group, Girls Generation aka 소녀시대 aka SNSD aka how-many-of-them-are-there? are scheduled to appear on two national television talk shows, Live! with Kelly and the Late Show with David Letterman. An interesting approach, considering they are tackling both daytime and late night TV. It remains to see how they will be fare, likely with their Teddy Riley produced single, “The Boys“.

See the Trailer for The Wonder Girls TeenNick TV Movie

a-Tunes.net — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:54:17 +0000

The Wonder Girls and TeenNick have brought out a new trailer for their upcoming, self-titled TV movie (the one that they launched “the DJ is Mine” for). On one hand, I’m happy the ladies are getting some much needed exposure, on the other hand I really hope the movie isn’t quite as awkward as the trailer dialogue would lead us to believe. But maybe I’m just a jaded old man that’s out of touch with today’s youngsters. Whipper-snappers.

There’s even more awkward goodness over at the TeenNick site.

Get a Sneak Peek at the MV for “You” by Eunice Kiss

a-Tunes.net — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:11:21 +0000

Remember back in November of 2011 when Eunice Kiss dropped a song called “You“? Well, perhaps this will help refresh your memory. The singer is ramping up to give the song a more proper promotion with the release of a music video. Unfortunately, no concrete release date was given, other than the ambiguous promise of “soon”. Take a glimpse at the trailer below.

Inch Chua Shares “Lyre Lyre Hearts on Fire”

a-Tunes.net — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:21:46 +0000

It’s been a little while since we last heard from Inch Chua, but the dry spell ends with the upload of this Youtube video for “Lyre Lyre Hearts on Fire”. Although she didn’t write the tune herself, it was given to her and based on this promising stripped rendition, I’d like to hear a final studio cut. You can find a little more back story and lyrics after the break.

i fell in love with this song the first time i heard it and it particularly strikes a chord with my.. current sentiments. its an original that was “given” to me but one that i WISH was written by me. i’d gladly credit the real songwriter but anonymity was requested. so we’ll just leave it as that.

LYRICS

We’re on a voyage to no where
sailing away from the troubled land
Abandoning those hearts on fire
hold on tight we’re nearly half-way there.

Brushes with the death of us
can only make us more beautiful.
But if it kills with no mercy
just know that i loved you with all my heart.

Don’t you think we’ve gone too far
Stealing the sunset from everyone
Its funny how it seems to right
Stealing the sunset from everyone

Oh if i had a time machine
Won’t you jump on board
we’re going back to one
It stabs my heart, but this i’ll say
you’re the only one i’ll open my eyes to.

Brushes with the death of us
can only make us more beautiful.
But if it kills with no mercy
just know that i loved you with all my heart.

Traphik Jumps on the “Gas Money” Remix by Destorm, DeshawnRaw, and StevenJo

a-Tunes.net — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:34:13 +0000

Deshawn Raw had a Youtube hit last spring with his single “Gas Money”. And now, Traphik jumped on the remix along with a couple of other artists like Destorm and StevenJo and of course DeshawnRaw. Watch as the crew travels around California, rapping about their low petrol woes. It’s a decent novelty single, though time will tell whether it has replay value.
