New Music You Should Know-JoJo, GaGa, Melanie C, Zara, Ellie & More

Its such a busy time in the world of music. Especially with some great female artists putting out songs that can fill the dance floor and be stuck in your head the next day.

Starting out we have mother monster herself.

Lady Gaga is back, her first single since the very sad Til It happens to you, this time she wants to talk about a Perfect Illusion. It seems on the outside that she thought she had found love only to find out it wasn't. Lets be honest with ourselves. We all have probably been there.

Check out the new Lady Gaga Music Video (seemingly seems inspired by both Melanie C's Video for Goin Down and Geri Halliwell's Scream if you wanna go faster) you can see in this video GaGa isn't the happiest. This video is also a real departure from the wild videos of GaGa's past. This video almost makes her seem just like any other artists just your average video. Its good but average nothing really stands out in this video. Its still a good song. One that has had mixed reactions.

Next JoJo is BACK. She has been quietly releasing new music this past year and even has her first full length album coming out on October 14 called Mad Love. She has already given two tracks away and they do not disappoint.

The lead single from Mad Love is called F*Ck Apologies featuring Wiz Khalifa.

And this song should be a SMASH. It has all the elements a hit song should have. Catchy and an important message. When your not wrong; why should you apologies. The radio version is a bit more friendly for a wider audience called No Apologies.

Check Out the great video!

JoJo has also released the title track of her new album Mad Love and its another Smash. This song is like a big band RnB masterpiece. Check this track out.

Melanie C better known as Sporty Spice is back with a new album Version of Me (as previously discussed in a prior post). And this album seems like a Brand New Melanie C.

Her new single is a dance track that is sure to set the floor on fire.

Check Out Melanie C's new BreakUp Anthem. Anymore. From Version of Me released by her record label Red Girl Records (October 21)

Before Anymore, Melanie let out the track NUMB featuring Sons of Sonix.

And I still cannot get this song out of my head.

 

Zara Maria Larsson (pronounced [ˈsɑːra maˈriːa ˈlɑːʂɔn]; is a Swedish singer and songwriter. Who you might remember from the song Never Forget You.

Zara first gained national fame for winning the 2008 season of the talent show Talang, (the Swedish version of America's Got Talent, at the age of 10). Larsson signed with the record label TEN Music Group in 2012 and released her debut EP album, Introducing, in January 2013. The single "Uncover" topped the charts in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. By February 2013, "Uncover" was certified platinum by Universal Music Sweden.[1] In July 2013, Introducing was certified triple platinum.[2] Larsson also signed a three-year contract with Epic Records in the United States in April 2013.[3] She performed at the opening and closing ceremonies in France for UEFA Euro 2016. (This Information is from Wikipedia.)

Zara is back with a new single, "Ain't My Fault," the first single off her new album. This song does not disappoint and I believe that Zara might be an artist to watch.

 

Meghan Trainor is back with a new single from her somewhat spotty album Thank You. Following the song that should have been a #1 hit. Me Too she back with Better featuring Yo Gotti. And Meghan will have another hit with this song all about being treated Better.

 

Ellie Goulding is back after a somewhat rough year. Her last album Delirium really struggled. Producing only one big hit, On My Mind. Ellie suffered a huge breakup that devastated her life even causing her to cancel production on a music video for the great song Something in the way you move. But she back with a new single from the New Bridgett Jones Diary Movie, (which I cannot wait to see).

Check Out Ellie's New Video for Still falling for you.
