Sam Sparro's New Single Is Just Alright...

And by "alright," I actually mean that it is strictly amazing and might be the best song of my entire life. Beware, the first time that I listened to this, I almost lost it and broke out in dance in public. You've been warned.

But in reality, the new Sam Sparro single, which is his first after nearly FOUR YEARS being out of my life, is titled "I Wish I Never Met You" and shows a more matured side of Sparro (not to mention that mustache!).

Produced by none other than my idol Erik Hassle (you know, the one who did that cover of that Robyn song with that Ellie Goulding girl?) and is the first single off Sparro's upcoming album, Return to Paradise. Erik Hassle has yet again done what he does perfectly, crafting an electronic-infused hit without the over-production of all the electronic garbage out right now. He has a way with hooks and this track is no different.

There are so many things to love about the new song, but I'm just going to let the video speak for itself. Oh, the dancing, the chorus, the MAN. Okay, enough of that. Just watch:

Erik Hassle - "Stay"

Erik Hassle has recently released his latest single, "Stay," and now we have the accompanying video for the absolutely killer track. The video is filled with just as much emotion as the track and features a shirtless Erik begging his lover to stay with him while flashes of their relationship appear across his chest. It's simple, yet still powerful. Many believe this song to be the "Someone Like You" of 2012 and it certainly has all the potential. It's an beautifully heartbreaking cut that even gives the new Marina leak a run for it's money. If you've got the kleenex near, take a look:
