Women dominated the new music scene this week
Jessie J feat. Ariana Grande and Nikki Minaj: “Bang Bang”
The biggest song this week features some of the biggest voices in music. Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nikki Minaj team up for this pop-soul jam that’s just as catchy as it is powerful.
FKA Twigs: “Pendulum”
FKA Twigs has one of the most diverse sounds in contemporary music. Her first single from her upcoming album “Two Weeks” had the same wispy vocals and kick drums, but “Pendulum” is a subtler, more beautiful example of the range that FKA Twigs really has.
G.R.L.: “Rewind”
G.R.L. is the girl-group for the 21st century. Formed from a few members of the former Pussycat Dolls, G.R.L. has teamed up with producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin to create a debut album full of great girl-power mantras like, “If you want this love, say you won’t give up.”
Azealia Banks: “Heavy Metal and Reflective”
The musical career of Azealia Banks has been a rocky one. She was beloved, then she was missing, and now she has dropped her record label and is back with a brand new single. “Heavy Metal and Reflective” is a catchy combination of the beats Azealia is known on a label that bears her name.
