[music] Bangladesh presents Candice Pillay
Getting into the habit of listening to new artists that aren't being shoved down my throat. If you like easy breezy, beat driven, pop with hip hop infused sounds definitely check out this mixtape. Candice's vocals put me into the mindframe of the Pussycat Dolls first album (um yeah I dug PCD). The beats are Bangladesh which makes for a nice blend.

VV Brown preps for sophomore album "Lollipops & Politics", Touring in Selected Cities
The tracklist for VV Brown's highly anticipated sophomore album "Lollipops & Politics" have been released and judging by The Playground mixtape it should be pretty damn good. The first single "Children" featuring Chiddy (of Philly's Chiddy Bang) was released digitally last month here in the U.S.
Other highlights on the album include "Be Yours", a Ronettes-style ballad introduced by a wall of drums and a dream-like killer chorus ("It's the only love song on the record," V V says, "I find it hard to write love songs when I'm happy") and "Like Fire" which opens against two minutes of fuzzed-out discordant synthesizer and builds to a cinematic, hurricane climax of strings and a voice unleashed. "I'm so proud of that song as I wrote it myself, played all instruments, and arranged the strings," V Vsays. Then there's "Famous", which V V co-wrote with her other producer Bjorn Yttling, of feted Swedish indie rockers Peter, Bjorn and John.
