Some big new summer tunes added to the Beat playlist this week....
Otto Knows ft. Avicii - Back Where I Belong
Earlier this year, Avicii announced his imminent retirement from performing. He hasn't released any music since then - until this collaboration with his childhood friend, Otto Knows.
Alan Walker - Sing Me To Sleep
Alan Walker exploded onto the scene earlier this year after his track “Faded” went viral. Currently at 350 million views on YouTube alone, “Faded” single-handedly made Walker into a household name. And now, he’s looking to recreate that success with the follow-up, “Sing Me To Sleep.”
Jonas Blue - Perfect Strangers
26 year-old Londoner Jonas Blue released his version of ‘Fast Car’ earlier this year and sold over 3 million singles globally, receiving Platinum and Gold status in countries all over the world. ‘Perfect Strangers’ includes the soulful male vocals of upcoming singer, JP Cooper. Jonas Blue has a series of residencies this year at Ushuaia in Ibiza.
The Blizzards - Drop Down The Anchor
It has been six years since we had new material from the Blizzards. Frontman Bressie has gone on to mentor acts on the Voice of Ireland and campaign for mental health services in Ireland. They're back with this stomper of a tune, and you can catch them at festivals across Ireland this summer.
Ariana Grande - Into You
'Into You' is the second single from Ariana Grande's third studio album, Dangerous Woman. It's another Max Martin production, and has one of the sexiest basslines and lyrics you'll hear this summer.
Digital Farm Animals & Cash Cash ft. Nelly - Millionaire
One of the most memorable lines from an R&B track in the 00s was Nelly's "Hey, it must be the money!" on his hit Ride Wit Me. Producers Cash Cash & Digital Farm Animals asked Nelly to recreate the line on their new single 'Millionaire'.
Steve Aoki & Boehm ft. Walk The Moon - Back 2 U
Steve Aoki has been working on some interesting collaborations recently, including Linkin Park and Walk Off The Earth. For this new track, he has worked with Bucharest-based DJ and producer Boehm, and pop rock group Walk The Moon.
