Labrinth - Earthquake (Feat. Tinie Tempah) (Video)

With a title like Earthquake, the video for Labrinth's second single always had the potential to be big, but I never expected it to be this good. They went all out with the graphics, animation and cinematography, and it's without doubt one of the best videos I've seen this year. Enjoy and pre-order the EP HERE.

The Weeknd - Initiation

The other night The Weeknd took to his Twitter and simply wrote "initiation... initiation... initiation.", and then 24 hours later, he drops a brand new track entitled, yep you guessed it, Initiation. A bass heavy Hip-Hop-esque beat shows a different side to the R&B crooner, but I like it, and find it much more enjoyable than most of the stuff on the recent Thursday mixtape. His third mixtape, Echoes Of Silence, is set to drop this fall, but for now you can enjoy this and download it HERE.

Emeli Sandé - Daddy

Another track that was premiered on Mistajam tonight is Emeli Sandé's new single, Daddy, which is the follow up to Heaven and the second single from her forthcoming debut album, Our Version Of Events. This is amazing, as is she - not much else needs to be said, just listen.

Josh Kumra - Quickie (Miguel Cover)

After joining Wretch 32 on Jools Holland the other night (full show tonight on BBC2), Josh Kumra has unleashed this brilliant acoustic cover of the latest single and one of my favourite tracks from Miguel's debut album, All I Want Is You. Made me even more excited to hear a debut EP/album from Josh; he's got a ridiculous amount of talent, his voice is a breath of fresh air and just keeps getting better every time I see him.

Pixie Lott - What Do You Take Me For (Feat. Pusha T)

Premiered earlier today, here is the second single from Pixie Lott's upcoming sophmore album, Young Foolish Happy, which you can pre-order HERE. Was intrigued to hear the outcome when I found out she was hooking up with G.O.O.D. Music signee and 1/2 of Clipse, Pusha T, but I can safely say I'm a fan. Heavy production, catchy vocals and an expectedly cool verse from Push = guaranteed hit. What do you all think?

Omar - The Man

OH YES! Having premiered this track back in June at the Jazz Cafe in London, Omar has released the official visuals for the lead single from his long overdue seventh studio album. The video is cool, but when you discover that the vocals were recorded live whilst walking through the beautiful streets of Copenhagen, with (director) Kristian Mathiassen adding in the beat afterwards, it becomes a whole lot more special. All of those sounds from the street that you can hear are 100% real, which means having to deal with them and nailing the vocals in one take - I think we can all agree that both he and Kristian absolutely smashed it. One of my favourite R&B/Soul vocalists of all-time is back, with a bang. Bring on the album...

Dionne Bromfield - Ouch (Demons Never Die Mix) (Feat. Mz Bratt)

Official visuals for the lead single from the forthcoming horror film 'Demons Never Die', which is directed by Arjun Rose and produced by Idris Elba. A cool video for a sick track, and with music from Jessie J, Devlin, Ellie Goulding and Rizzle Kicks expected to be on the soundtrack, this is definitely one to look out for.

Single Release: 17th October
Film Release: 28th October

Nneka - My Home

Here is the official video for the uplifting lead single from Nneka's upcoming third studio album, Soul Is Heavy. Spotted over @SoulCulture, "the video was filmed in Nigeria and tells a story of the struggles our brothers and sisters are facing in certain parts of Africa and brings them right to the forefront". An uplifting single from a very talented singer/songwriter - release date to follow soon.

Eric Roberson - Picture Perfect (Feat. Phonte)

Some really clean and cool visuals for the lead single from Eric Roberson's latest album, Mister Nice Guy. Europeans can get their copy HERE, and for the Americans who are still waiting, you can check out two of my favourite tracks HERE. Nothing but love for both of these guys.
