Stick Up – Jackie Boyz
For Los and Stevie, music is a family affair (the brothers dubbed themselves the Jackie Boyz in memory of their late mother). The pair started their music career singing on a pier in their hometown of Savannah, Georgia, but those days are long gone. Fast forward to 2010 and see how much their hard work has paid off: the Jackie Boyz have collaborated with the likes of Flo Rida, Justin Beiber and Robin Thicke, to name a few. With “Stick Up,” the duo showcases their talents as singers and songwriters in this R&B dance melody that oozes HipTronik. If you haven’t heard of the Jackie Boyz, then you’re in for a treat.
WILD – Namie Amuro
Namie Amuro is no stranger to the Japanese music scene with her ninth studio album PAST < FUTURE under her belt. However, the sound of her music has changed dramatically throughout the years, adding a touch of hip hop and R&B into the mix. Her newest single “WILD” is evidence of this evolution with the song’s rough, discordant bass structure--a sharp contrast to Amuro’s smooth vocals. The video’s hard dance scenes are softened by slow motion effects to complement the shifts in the music. “WILD” is a fierce blend of beats that’ll get you going rampant.
Get Sexy – Sugababes
Britain’s all-girl pop trio the Sugababes remake themselves with their 25th single, “Get Sexy” from their upcoming seventh album Sweet 7th (UK release set for November). Once known for their unique blend of urban, rock, R&B, the Sugababes evolved into one of the UK’s most successful and longest-standing female pop acts. The girls have joined forces with Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation and production team StarGate as they continue to revamp their sound to include old-school Sugababes pop vocals and sexy new hiptronik dance beats.
