Major Lazer, DJ Snake, and MØ have put it out a fantastic music video to accompany their single “Lean On.” Shot on location in Mumbai, India, the video is inspired by the people, culture, and warmth experienced by the artists during their time in city, and is a fantastic visual accompaniment to track's power-pop dancehall sound.
MØ writes, "Ever since I heard 'Get Free' for the first time a few years back I've dreamt about collaborating with Major Lazer so I'm super stoked about 'Lean On' dropping now. The song is about the fear of outgrowing someone you love. But also how the most important thing in life is to have someone to lean on when you face difficulties and struggle with all the shit that life throws at you."

Late Night Friends is an indie/alt rock band from Los Angeles, CA. Jonathan Baron and Barrett Shuler started awkwardly constructing songs sometime around Christmas 2013. At first, Shuler didn't appreciate Baron's affinity for 60's psychedelia and 70's punk. Baron, in retaliation, smugly dismissed Shuler's enthusiasm for obscure instrumental bands and Jeff Tweedy. The two buried the hatchet over a shared love for several 90's bands and have cohabitated politely since.
Mutual friend and drummer Keith Roenke always joked that they should start a band because "the marriage of their styles would either work really well or not at all." LNF was shaped up once Barrett recruited his former [Coral Springs, FL] Little League teammate Alex Gallner to play bass.
Late Night Friends' Debut LP, What I Think I'm Not, will be released on June 30th, 2015 via Limited Fanfare Records. Recorded by Steve Kille (of Dead Meadow), Mixed by Mike Pappas and Mastered by Dan Coutant (The Gaslight Anthem, Jawbox, Denney and The Jets).
Influenced by Beethoven, Prince, Andrew Loyd Webber and Kylie Minogue Dalal's music has pushed her to the forefront of up and coming Pop artists. Her Debut Single “Taste the Night” reached #5 on the Billboard Breakout Charts, #7 on the UK Club Charts and #8 on the UK Pop Commercial Charts with a music video that premiered through AOL Music and gained over one million views.

The French-Cuban duo’s unusual mixture of sounds makes for a harmonious expression of their identity.

In their single, “River,” they invoke Oshún, the Yoruba goddess of the river, and plead to cleanse their souls in her waters. The result is a hypnotic, soulful song with electronic, hip-hop, and Afro-Cuban influences.

"I wanted little pieces of things in it that makes you think 'why is life full of games,'" Walker tells The Juice of the Drew Kirsch-directed video.

This video shows how love can leave you alone with a lot of time on your hands to think about the games that are played between two people in love." You may recognize Tay Walker.

It was at the Grammy Awards that Carly was singing as a back-up vocalist for Cee Lo Green, when Cee Lo shared with her some invaluable advice. Carly had been writing and recording of-the-moment electro-pop songs, heeding the mainstream pop music industry’s commercial demands of young adult female artists. These tracks, and others, have received 1.5 million YouTube views for features on over 90 television shows spanning 30+ networks, including NBC’s 30 Rock and Fashion Star, ABC’s One Life to Live, etc. Merging warm, nuanced, sensitive, powerhouse vocals, with memorable melodies, meaningful lyrics, and contemporary arrangements that integrate select elements from classic pop’s distant and recent past, the piece of work reflects a unique, sophisticated timelessness for the modern adult-contemporary market.

They toil in deserts and on busy freeways, at the top of massive seaside cliffs and in the dim neighborhood dives of sunny L.A. The landscape is rife with energy and all the while they are collecting. Despite the great abundance they are not taking but merely assimilating, recording, merging and regurgitating their interpretation of the beauty and chaos all around. They are Young Creatures. Attempts to describe them often land at “psych” -- as in “psychedelic,” “psych-pop hypnotists,” or a “psych-rock band in pop clothing.” The terminology is often bogged down by notions of illicit indulgences or foolhardy voyages into the vast inner unknown. But this particular brand of rock ‘n roll is more than a simple affront to the machine-pop dominating our present-day collective consciousness. It is an alternative translation of the world around us, one that captures the essence of power and beauty and emotion that human beings are uniquely attuned to, that our machines allow us to ignore. That is the goal. For their full Bio & to check out their new album go to www.youngcreatures.com Tweet @young_creatures
