[NEW MUSIC] THE FRONT BOTTOMS REWORKED DEMOS
The Front Bottoms, aka one of my favorite bands that I have spent countless dollars on seeing them six times in concert, just released an announcement that they are going to be releasing an album where they are re-doing their demos. The Front Bottoms can best be described as an indie rock duo from New Jersey (my hometown), and they are a wildly electric blend of pop, rock and punk.
If you don’t know them, which you should, here are some of their best songs:
As a fan of The Front Bottoms, a lot of their unreleased demos are some of their best work.
They released on their Twitter account short versions of the songs they were going to release on this EP.
Here are some of the clips:

It is shocking that they are releasing new music since they just released an album in October entitled, “Going Grey” which topped their 2015 release Back on Top, and shattered the rumors that they were selling out and going to a more pop influence. I can’t wait for them to release the new version of their old songs because they are just too good not to try to produce. This band really has something special and knows how to inspire a crowd.
Check out their demos that they might be remaking:
[NEW VIDEO] CHRIS BROWN – “Tempo”
Chris Brown‘s new video to “Tempo” is insane. Once you see his Halloween-type crew in this futuristic video you’re going to f*ck with it. Watch it below and check out his latest album Heartbreak On A Moon if you haven’t already.
[UNDER APPRECIATED SONG] LIL UZI VERT’S “NEON GUTS”
You might know Lil Uzi Vert from his hit songs, “XO Tour Llif3” and his feature on “Bad and Boujee” but what you don’t know is that in his latest album, Luv is Rage 2 it has more bangers than you expect.
I think one of the highlight tracks on this album is his song entitled, “Neon Guts” featuring Pharrell Williams.
You can listen to it here:
I feel like this song is a great addition to the album and a rap song that doesn’t revolve around drugs or money. The theme is being a positive person on the inside and have that reflect in the energy that they bring into the world. Upon first listen, the term “neon guts” seems forced but after a few listens, you will find yourself coming back to it. There is something about this song that has a positive lightweight feel to it, that you can also dance to.
He raps:
“Higher than Elon Musk, so high stars eat our dust
And I got a colorful aura like I got neon guts
Dark energy, we don’t touch
Our jewelry’s beyond Tut
And It give a nigga colorful aura like I got neon guts”
The lyric video only has 5 million views on Youtube and I think this song should be more appreciated. I think it’s because it really takes a few listens to get into so people aren’t willing to give it a second chance. I am happy I stumbled across this song. It’s always great to listen to the records on the album that aren’t the biggest hits because you might just find a gem.
DO YOU MISS AMY WINEHOUSE? LISTEN TO THIS UNRELEASED DEMO
The music world mourns Amy Winehouse. Since her death in 2011, fans have been upset that we will never hear new music from her again. She was one of my favorite artists and I usually spend a lot of my time listening to her old music. When demos get resurfaced it is always a great surprise that reminds us of the influence she had.
The demo “My Own Way” was reportedly recorded in composer and musician Gil Cang’s studio in 2001.
In 2015, it was announced that at least 14 unreleased demos were destroyed when she died. They decided not to release it because Winehouse couldn’t sign off on it.
He stated,
Listen to it here:

I think the highlight of this song is the opening as she sings:
Then the track breaks out into the chorus for the most of the song. It is a chill track that you should listen to with candles lit. Even though Winehouse didn’t sign off on the release, I feel like she would be proud of it.
Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse.
Your music has left its mark on this world.
