I don't remember what I did Last Night...

...but tonight I'll do it again. Are the calls from lead vocalist of Clement Marfo and The Frontline, Kojo Williams, on the hip-hop/rock band's latest track, Last Night. Still immensely underrated despite the re-release of their inspirational anthem "Champion" in the Summer, the band tap into a market virtually un-entered previously. Combining the grimiest of grime in the form of passionate, former solo MC Clement Marfo with the distinct rock of the band, The Frontline, producing the seven-piece unfogettable tunes of Clement Marfo and The Frontline.

Their latest track has much more a party-feel than their previous motivational tracks such as Overtime and Champion yet is intended to galvanize the listener in much the same way! Marfo raps in a very bewildered yet fiery style, a hard-hitter who just wants to go out and have fun. The track, as is natural to CMTF has a very R&B feel with heavy synthesizers, most likely courtesy of Stacey Mansell the band's eye-candy. The chorus, is euphoric and simply unforgettable with Kojo singing, "I don't remember what I did last night, but tonight I'll do it again, ooohhh!" With their hard-working mentality displayed on previous tracks, their decision to put out a feel-good party-smash like this was well-timed to indicate they do have a fun side!

The video is quite simply mayhem (coincidentally the same name as their earlier hit featuring Kano) and certainly not one for the daytime 4music shows! With a whole host of Reality TV stars, partying their hearts out the video is likely to make you green with envy that you weren't invited to the chaotic brilliance! With hot girls doing questionable things, what more reason to check this video out?

With an explosive performance at this Summer's Reading Festival under their belts expect the band's captivating live-sets to attract bigger and bigger performances in the future!

Eric Turner vs Avicii - Dancing in my Head (Tom Hangs Remix)

Chances are even if you have very narrow knowledge of chart-music over recent years, you will have heard Eric Turner at some stage. Beaming British Rapper Tinie Tempah to international stardom, thanks to Turner's infectiously catchy chorus on Tinie's 'Written in the Stars', Turner has certainly made his presence known in music today. iSHi, producer of countless British hip-hop hits such as 'Read all about it', 'Game Over' and many others, spotted the potential in the American Singer-Songwriter. Turner originally thought of himself as more of a band frontman, but iSHi firmly believed he was destined to become a Solo-Star and after lending his vocals to the likes of Tinchy Stryder, Lupe Fiasco and of course Tinie, Turner is now set for his debut studio-album.  but with Angels and Stars featuring Tinie Tempah and Lupe Fiasco failing to chart, let's see if he has more luck alongside the super-successful Swedish DJ, Avicii.

Entitled 'Dancing in my Head', bizarrely the main official-video version is a remix by Tom Hangs, but don't let this unknown element put you off, the track is utterly brilliant. Infusing the best of Avicii's DJ skills with a distinctive house-beat that quite simply makes you want to move, the track is at it's core a dance-track. But this really shows off the great depth of Eric Turner's voice that he can go from helping create some of the best hip-hop tracks of this decade to an infectious dance-song. The song is relatively simply describing a girl that he quite can't simply get out of his head and the track has that air of torment about it, Turner brings it together brilliantly. With the looks of Jesus, his voice is going to something special, and it is, reaching all the notes with complete ease.

The video is incredibly cheesy and looks like something that would have been classed as funny about 20 years ago. Really disappointing given the sheer quality of the song. It shows a guy seeing a girl across the bar at a club and since that moment not being able to escape the thought of her. At which point he goes into his basement to remove his brain! He is then followed around the city by his brain! It's comical and has a certain charm, but it's well below the standard of the song.

With Written in the Stars 2.0 released, expect more and more from this Boston-born singer.

Naughty Boy with Wonder

Having paired up with the productive genius that is Shahid Khan, better known as Naughty Boy on virtually every major step of her singing career thus far, Emeli Sandé's  feature on Naughty Boy's debut-single, Wonder, seemed a natural course of action and what a debut it is...

You see although he is by title a DJ, that is something of an insult to the British Songwriter, Producer, Rapper and Musician, as that list demonstrates just the extent of his talents, talents expressed in this creative tune. It opens with a highly tuneful piano-melody, and as Sandé's soulful vocals take centre-stage a gentle drum-beat opens, it sounds simple, but it's pure and beautiful

Wonder, is undoubtedly crafted to allow Emeli Sandé's beautiful voice and the passionate lyrics to take centre-stage, but backed up with some masterful production with a drum-beat that builds and drops according to the part of the song, it really is quite something to behold. The tune, brings up feelings of adventure, "I can be the night, I'm not afraid of thunder, I am full of light, I am full of thunder." Yet it's joyous and celebratory, with a real uplfiting feel of someone with an appetite for life to go out discover, do and be more. 

The  video is enchanting, yet not in a sombre way in the slightest, it's colourful and adventuresome bringing the beautifully bright, feel-good factor of the tune to life. Just as the lyrics are true, describing how at times life can be hard, the video is too, showing a forest that at times is perilous and uncertain yet on the whole vibrant, with coloured flares and pink grass (no drugs implied!) 

Both the tune and the video are fresh and upbeat and with a debut-album set to feature the likes of Tinie Tempah, Professor Green and of course the wonderful Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy clearly means business.
