"The intro of “Forget Me” could easily find itself on a MGMT record, but the track’s funky, dream pop vibe could be more accurately described as Hall & Oates with more sweeping, upbeat synths. Yes, Forget Me's beat bounces in all the right places while the vocals get serious and soulful." – Loud Loop Press
Hello interwebs, my name is Lizzy. I recently joined the yesyesyall staff, and I'm pumped to post some great finds. I love music from the past when things were much simpler, but I'm excited about where it's heading. The music industry has flipped into a rabbit hole of possibilities.
Gary Clark Jr. is a little bit Black Keys and a lot Jimi Hendrix. His songs sound vintage, but he recorded the EP a few months ago. This Texan is busy playing impressive festivals like Clapton's Crossroads, and he's becoming a head honcho in the rock scene. “Bright Lights” is one mooooovin’ and grooooovin’ track. Thank you Emily of Happy Ears for getting me hooked.

I am not sure what to make of the album title I Love You, Dude, but this is a pretty interesting release. Digitalism shares some of the best traits of the band Air. Instead they do it with a more contemporary styling, leaving behind the the vintage flair. I love this track Just Gazin', it's a certifed Guilty Pleasure.
I am kind of loving “She Will” off the new Lil Wayne joint. The track starts off with an eerie bell loop, then the beat drops and you can’t help but nod your head. The flow Wayne spits is pretty flawless, as usual from Lil Wayne. I haven’t had a chance to listen to a lot of the tracks off the new album, The Carter IV, but I have to say this is one of the guiltiest of guilty pleasures of the year so far.

Here is a Washed Out cover of the famous Chris Isaak song Wicked Game. It might be perfect for a karaoke machine in Tokyo, but I don't care. I always loved this song.
She isn't the best singer but she has appeal. I'm glad an artist with such a big name and following put out a video like this.
Everybody has to know about Lil' B The Based God by now. Formerly of The Pack, releasing Youtube videos like nobody's business, dropping mixtapes like Pokemon editions, and maybe the most misunderstood artist of the Swag generation. While most of his work seems to be a well played joke, he does release some good stuff every now and then. This track displays some lyrical ability, to whatever extent, but if you came to lose some brain cells, try THIS.
Thank you, Based God.
I honestly don't know what to say. I'm almost embarrassed to admit I've watched this 4 times. It's not mind-blowingly done, and the song isn't jaw dropping, and the typography is downright dreadful, but there's still something about this I like.
So, I'm not a Nicki Minaj fan and I couldn't put my finger on exactly why this was. Then this morning I came across her new song produced by Will.I.AM titled Check It Out and I caught myself nodding my head to it. At that moment it became a little clearer to me.? ?Nicki will be a great pop artist, she has all of the skill of a Gwen Stefani, the sex appeal of a Rihanna, and the street allure of being associated with Lil' Wayne. Where I think the problem I had with her sat was in hearing people call her "lyrically one of the best in the game" etc. which I feel is a gross overstatement. I've never heard her sound the way she does on this Will.I.AM track, but if she stays on track and plays to her strengths she might just shock a lot of people in Pops arena.?
