On Our Radar: Cory Jreamz

Sometimes you're out, you're running through the six, and you want a fresh new song to put on your playlist but don't quite know what to add… Well you're in luck because Cory Jreamz, a talent from Houston, Texas, just released the soon-to-be latest addition to everybody's soundtrack for a night rolling through Toronto (or any city really). Take a listen to 'Drunk in Toronto' and then creep more of Jreamz's music here.

Bleachers + Grimes = Your Spring Soundtrack

Bleachers and Grimes have come together to create the catchy "Entropy", the tune you didn't know you needed on your playlist. This song, combined with the beautiful weather we are starting to see in Toronto, is all that is needed to keep us here at Studio 416 smiling all week.

On Our Radar: Myer Clarity

Since it doesn't look like we'll be mixing things up from the cold, dreary winter weather here in Toronto anytime soon, why not mix things up musically by checking out some under-the-radar local talent? 

We at Studio 416, have recently spotted, Toronto based hip hop artist Myer Clarity, and his new music video "Growing Pains" (linked above). The song is too memorable to not have on repeat. The 22 year old Montreal native shows a more personal side of the coin than his previous work as he invites listeners for a walk through his childhood over a canvas of dreamy guitars and lo-fi drum loops. Motel Raphael's own Maya Malkin contributes a chorus that is both hypnotizing and the catchiest thing we've heard all week.

The lead single from his forthcoming full length album BYOB (set to be released April 2015!), "Growing Pains" positions itself as a indie-pop hip hop crossover, that you'll want to check out. 

Have a listen, and watch the newly released video for "Growing Pains" above! 

Beck/Beyoncé Fans Rejoice

Fans of both Beck and Beyoncé will be pleased to hear that a Beckyoncé (you read that right) track has been released, and it's pretty dang good.

The mashup of Queen B's smash hit, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and Beck's "Loser" is called "Single Loser (Put a Beck on It)" and it is probably the best peace offering the internet has to offer.




Now hopefully it's so good Kanye will stay comfortably in his seat.

Bonnaroo Changes Things Up With This Year's Line-Up Announcement

Have you been not-so-patiently waiting for the Bonnaroo line-up to be announced? Well, Bonnaroo is doing things a little differently this year.

Instead of Bonnaroo releasing the line-up online, on Tuesday, the 13th of January, there will be the Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon, or “BLAM”, from 6 pm - 9 pm EST. This event involves the festival’s fans and attendees to call a phone number (1-844-ROO-2015) to find out the line-up and then announce it themselves over social media using the #bonnaroo hashtag.

The Manchester, Tennessee festival takes place on the 11th-14th of June and tickets will go on sale on the 17th of January.

Sia Releases New Video for 'Elastic Heart'

Have you ever wanted to watch Shia LaBeouf and that girl Maddie from Dance Moms dance fight (not dance battle) in a giant cage while wearing nude body suits? Neither have we!

Technically, we didn’t really know that was an option, or had the idea cross our minds even once, but thankfully Sia obviously had been thinking about it enough to make it her new music video for her song Elastic Heart. So check it out and let us know what you think.
