About two years ago London producers James David and Ollie Dickinson, aka Snakehips, released an excellent instrumental called Forever. They’ve now turned it into a full-length song with the help of the smooth, soulful vocals of Kaleem Taylor. The sun-soaked, soulful vibes of Forever (Pt. II) sounds like a summer hit to us.

Snakehips have been gaining plenty of attention recently with their smooth contemporary house sounds and their most recent release – the exquisite Forever Pt. II EP is outstanding. It features four tracks – I’m Gone featuring Syd from The Internet, an uptempo R&B track Overtime featuring Sasha Keable, a ballad Poison featuring the amazing Daniella T.A.O.L and this summer-is-here-already track Forever (Pt. II).

Snakehips are taking their brand of electro-soul on a North American tour which starts on May 20 in Denver and finishes on June 27 in Washington.

LunchMoney Lewis recently released his video for his debut single Bills, and it’s pretty true to life and hilarious. Though be warned, once you listen to it you won’t be able to get it out of your head! It’s already gone to Nº1 in Australia and has amassed 2 million views on YouTube since it’s release just a month ago.

The video takes a light hearted approach to the usual struggles most of us face in our daily life, and the upbeat track is a constant quick tempo to which we need to get shit done. Literally. By the end of it all he’s yelping in a neck-deep pile of bills, responsibilities and eviction notices. You can’t help but laugh, and it’s the perfect song to keep you going when you’re ready to tap out.

Lewis came up in the scene after he was featured on Nicki Minaj’s sexy dance track Trini Dem Girls off her latest album The Pinkprint. He also co-wrote Burnin’ Up for Jessie J and Bo$$ for Fifth Harmony. We expect and hope to be seeing a lot more of him this year, we’re rooting for you Lewis! You’ve got mouths to feed after all.

The duet holds the Nº1 spot on the Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks Chart, and Enrique has broken his own record for “Most Number Ones” on the respective chart.

Jason Derulo just released Want To Want Me, his latest single to date with a steamy video to go with it. This was no ordinary song release though, it was debuted in a rather interesting way.

“I wanted to find a new unique way to launch my video,” Jason stated in a press release.

“I know my fans are tapped into social networking so what better way to launch my video for Want To Want Me than through one of the fastest rising social networking apps, Tinder. I see this app as the wave of the future. I know my fans will swipe right.’’

It was a good move on his behalf, as he is now getting tonnes of media buzz reporting about how he was the first to ever think of releasing a video this way. Damn it… now we wish we had the app (even though we’re not looking for a date…)!

Charli XCX was another huge name to release new material for the 2015 YouTube Music Awards which were presented and uploaded yesterday to YouTube in a lengthy playlist. Her addition to the huge melting pot of talent was a creepy music video for her song Famous. Charli teamed up with Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! fame for a truly terrifying, darkly comic visual.

The video is hard to sanely describe, a trippy social media take of the underworld in a nutshell… we think. It’s a seriously bewildering production to say the least, and leaves us with just one nagging question. What just happened?

Charli was one of the breakout artists of 2014, and earned her YouTube Music Award on the strength of music videos for Sucker singles Boom Clap, Break the Rules and her collaboration with Iggy Azalea for Fancy.

Ed Sheeran and Rudiemntal premiered a cinematic new video for Bloodstream, specially for the 2015 YouTube Music Awards which were presented yesterday (March 23). The song features the English four-membered band Rudimental, who seem to be collaborating with all the greats lately.

The gripping music video, directed by Emil Nava, follows the Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta as he plays a drunken, washed-up frontman of fictional hair-metal group Black Glove. He appears to have it all—money, lots of awards, fame, big house and women—but he’s still miserable and lonely. He tries to drown his pain with alcohol and lots of sex, but it’s not enough…

We’ve gotta say, Ed Sheeran is really going from good to great with each new release, and to think it all started with a YouTube upload.

The 2015 YouTube Music Awards are presented below in full. You’ll find a ‘behind the scenes’ clip in this playlist, in which you can see the making of Bloodstream.
