Ellie Goulding Premiere's "Anything Could Happen"!

Just this morning on Fearne Cotton's Radio 1 show, Ellie Goulding premiered her first official single, "Anything Could Happen" off her upcoming second studio album, Halcyon (October 9th). With the new single, Ellie also released a lyric video compiled of over 1,200 photos taken by Instagram. The new track is a pounding piece of electropop perfection and I'm already obsessed with it. It's full of a glittering drum melody and a killer hook, not to mention the Ellie's unique vocals (which thankfully include her harsher, bellowing yell, which we've only really been lucky to hear from her in live shows). Much less of a typical mainstream first release, "Anything Could Happen" is surely an indication that the upcoming album, as well as Ellie's new direction, will be utterly brilliant. I can't wait!

The full single for "Anything Could Happen" will be released Stateside and in the UK via Interscope/Cherrytree records on September 30th.

Why Aren't These Girls Huge Yet???

The new video for War of Words' second single "Battleground" has been released. The video is an equally stunning accompaniment to the already stunning single which is basically the embodiment of what pop really should be. The track has already received a great bit of attention from the likes of Nick Grimshaw over at Radio 1 and it's all for good reason. These two are going places, just you wait!

Yet Another Reason I Love Radio 1

I was listening to Radio 1 yesterday, one of my favorite places to find music that isn't the over-played, poorly produced crap that's on American radio. And there I found Skepta. Born in London to Nigerian parents, Skepta has been on the rise on the Hip-Hop charts in the UK, having released his third album, Doin' It Again last year. His latest single, 'Hold On,' is definitely a strong single, featuring the Skepta rapping about everything from Jay-Z to Scott Disick. It definitely sounds like an attempt at a more international release, so here's hoping!
