RollnSmokeRecords Presents: Best New Songs Released in Past 60 Days

1) “Outstanding” – Lil Wayne [unreleased]. An edgier, Dr. Dre-produced track moves Lil Wayne’s smut away from pop towards a real hip-hop that suits him.

2) “Alors an dance” – Stromae (re-mix featuring Kanye West and Gilbere Forte] (9-2-2010]. A smokin’ hot dance track in European Clubs features Kanye remixing and rapping-up an already funky get-ur-booty-on-the-dancefloor track by Belgain singer-songwriter.

4) “Little Lovin’” – Lissie [8-17-2010]. A favorite track of Roll’s when it was released as an EP last fall, this re-run on her debut full-length album captures Lissie’s dusky, willowy folk-pop at its best.

12) “Where I’m Going” – Cut Copy (un-released). Australian indie electronic trio drop the summer’s joyful, hand-clapping rock tune. Come on! Lighters in the air, tripsters!
