Yuna released her ‘Sixth Street’ EP, back in May, the first single off that EP is ‘I Wanna Go.’ Yuna has followed up with visuals for the single, which has her and her man running around the streets and beaches (of California?) looking like two love birds. This sun soaked single screams summer and most importantly good times. We wish music like this would invade the radio. Check the visuals for the Malaysian singer-songwriter below.

“All I ever wanna do, is be as good a man as you”

This past weekend at  a Father’s Day BBQ I sat through hours of listening to a Pandora pop radio, after a while the tracks got to me, so I took over the DJ booth (uh, laptop). I started playing a lot of summertime hits (Get Lucky, Ways to Go, Gasoline and Oh Shiet It’s X) that we have featured on the site these past few weeks. Another artist I played that people took to was Mayer Hawthorne. His latest single, “Reach Out Richard” is a lyrical change of pace from his usual care-free tracks. It’s a track dedicated to his father, Richard. Mayer Hawthorne told Entertainment Weekly,

“With Father’s Day coming up, I wanted to share a special song about my father. This was the hardest song I’ve ever had to write. I still tear up sometimes just thinking about it. Thanks to Pharrell for pushing me to get the whole story out. Love you, Dad. I’ll find my way eventually.”

The Pharrell produced track will be featured on Hawthorne’s upcoming album “Where Does This Door Go,” set to drop on July 16th.

This past Friday, Scottish electro/synth pop trio CHVRCHES released the visuals for their latest track ‘Gun.’

If your a fan of kaleidoscopes and dizziness, then you’re going to love CHVRCHES kaleidoscopic retro dream video, “Gun.” More great Pop music to pick you up on what is known as FML Mondays.

‘The Bones Of What You Believe’ is the title of CHVRCHES debut album that is reported to be released September 23, (September 24 for those in North America). If you live in NYC, CHVRCHES will be performing tonight at Webster Hall (more info here).

Not sure who I love more Chlöe Howl or Lorde. I do know that pop music is heading in the right direction with these young talents. Howl’s video for her brutal honest single, “No Strings,” starts off as a casting call for the video and then ends up turning into a party. If you gotten a chance to listen Howl’s Rumour EP[here], you know the song is a look into some of the temptations teenagers across the world the world run into. “With all this love, your unprotecting. I hate to think, what you’re collecting..” So scary, yet true. Check out version two of Howl’s “No Strings.”

Another day, another talented artist. Yesterday London based Dornik dropped his debut track (thanks to Disclosure for the heads up tweet). Signed to PMR Records family, Dornik also plays drums in Jessie Ware’s live sets. Dornik’s debut track ‘Something About You’ is a potent yet smooth ambient R&B track, with his soulful vocals over something that sounds like Pharrell and Chad produced it. PMR records have another winner! (Disclosure, Jessie Ware, Julio Bashmore, Two Inch Punch, etc)

London-based duo AlunaGeorge have released their new video for the album version of ‘You Know You Like It.’ The video was directed by Sammy Rawal, and showcases the duo grooving around in an empty pool (pic above) and a slew of their friends dancing around in that pool. This duo makes great music with some of the best videos we have seen in a while. AlunaGeorge’s highly anticipated debut album, ‘Body Music,’ will be available on July 29th via Island Records.

As if we needed another reason to love Unknown Mortal Orchestra.. the charismatic outfit already responsible for one of the smoothest tracks of the year have released a brilliant cover of the Otis Redding classic “(Sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay.” Listen to the version in full below. Latest LP II is available now.

Canadian artist by way of Montreal, AKUA released her stellar debut EP, One’s Company, last week. Her lead single “Gravity” (second track on the EP) was the track that drew us in. One’s Company EP is co-produced by Twin Shadow‘s Andy Bauer and is a blend of R&B/Soul and Electronic/Pop. AKUA is another artist that has emerged in the first half of 2013 and will be added to what seems to be a growing list of genre crossing artists.

Been a while since we have heard from London-four piece Arthur Beatrice. They have returned with their new single Carter (Uncut). You can watch the visuals for the stunning, black and white video, taken from the Carter EP (out on July 22nd), below.
