Top Singles to Hit the Web

Every week, we post three of our favorite new music videos to hit the web so that you can get current with your music whilst enjoying a feast for your ears and eyes. The style and tone may differ somewhat from week to week or video to video, but the awesomeness will remain consistent.  Feel free to do a little shimmy if you feel it’s appropriate … Enjoy!  

Scotty McCreery – Feelin’ It

Scotty McCreery is blowing up your speakers with his new jam; he’s made a definitive laundry list of all the things that make summer days awesome, and we see him doing a few of them in the video! He looks like he’s having a hell of a time with his friends, and this song is meant to be blasted in the sunshine through rolled down car windows. Check out the video below. Are you feelin’ it?

 

Aloe Blacc – Hello World (The World Is Ours)

Aloe Blacc’s career was given a big boost when he recorded the vocals for Avicii’s number one single ‘Wake Me Up’, and he’s back now with a single all of his very own. The video centers around life in the ghetto; he’s challenging stereotypes by showing seemingly menacing characters exhibiting altruism towards their fellow man. Oh, and there’s a bit of him singing in a rundown theater. It’s definitely a feel good song with a video to match. Check it out below:

John Legend – You and I (Nobody in the World)

A kind of Wonderful Tonight for a new generation, this song has the vibe that we’ve come to expect from John Legend, who has the beautiful ballad market well and truly cornered. The ladies in this video are looking pretty upset as they study themselves in the mirror, but the message of the song is overwhelmingly positive. John Legend is telling us that we’re beautiful! All of us! He’s such a smoothie, AND he gets bonus points for including a cameo from our favorite transgender babe Laverne Cox of Orange is the New Black fame. Check out the video here:

Lea Michele – On My Way

Check out Glee star Lea Michele’s new single On My Way! Set in what seems like the ultimate twenty something Californian frolic fest, Lea looks like she’s having a whale of a time in this video. The song itself is also surprisingly catchy; Lea’s talking about finding her way to meet a lover who she just can’t keep away from even though maybe she’s making a bad decision. We wouldn’t recommend driving to your boyfriend or girlfriend’s place with a bottle of whiskey between your legs but we love the song nonetheless!



Meanwhile Up in Heaven – The Kaiser Chiefs

The Kaiser Chiefs are back. They never disappoint us with their British branded indie pop and the video for Meanwhile Up In Heaven sees frontman Ricky wandering a freaky iteration of a carnival from yesteryear, having seemingly had some sort of accident that’s left him tattered and bruised. The song boasts a decidedly fairground sounding keyboard trill throughout and it’s too early to tell if it will join the ranks of modern classic status enjoyed by Kaiser Chief tracks like I Predict a Riot, but the video is a ton of fun. Check it out below!


La Roux – Let Me Down Gently

La Roux have a new song entitled Let Me Down Gently. Their first new music video in three years gives us lead singer Ellie doing a lot of head shaking and moody acting whilst running across a moor in a very Wuthering Heights fashion. The song itself is a meditation on heartbreak that anybody who has spent time in Dumpsville can relate to. The whole thing’s a little sadder than we’ve come to expect from previous La Roux outings but we feel like it’s been way too long since they have graced our ears and eyes and we are just glad to have them back.
