Seldom does a Top 40 song make the Swon Song cut, but this Swedish DJ duo made one that’s just too catchy.
Warning: Listening to this song may cause it to play repetitiously in your head.

Here’s a fun Cosmic Kid’s remix of Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again”. Amazing what a simple beat can do to revitalize an old classic. Check out more from the Cosmic Kids at their Soundcloud page here.
Producer-Rapper combo of Macklemore and Lewis stormed the hip hop scene with their viral video for “Thrift Shop” but the duo’s talent really grabbed my attention with this track. Conscious hip-hop tackles an issue I’m passionate about, same sex marriage. Listen to the song below, or view a live performance the two had on NPR’s infamous Tiny Desk series here.
Kitty, Daisy, & Lewis are a trio of siblings of the Durham family that have embraced their ol’ timey R&B, Swing, and Country roots. Here, the trio puts some soul into their cover of Canned Heat’s “Going Up the Country”, keeping country alive in my book.
Being made popular from an Internet Explorer ad during the Olympics, Too Close is a great song that brings New Soul to a light and pop-y Dub beat. Alex Clare will be an interesting talent to watch.
The Bahamas’ “Lost in the Light” is kind of a depressing love song, but the reason why I like it so much is that frontman frontman Afie Jurvanen interlaces it with so much hope for both parties involved in the relationship. That mixed with the airy vibe that has become a staple of Brushfire Records makes this single a perfect candidate for the latest Swon Song.
One of my all-time favorite artists. Sam Cooke is not only writer and performer of this single off his album of the same name, but also only took three takes to record it! ”(Ain’t That) Good News” is one of the many gems in the artists’ arsenal that deserve the label “oldie, but a goodie”.
I expect JD McPherson to blow up pretty soon with his original yet vintage sound; a hodgepodge revival of the 50′s with hints of rock n roll, R&B, and rockabilly. Album doesn’t drop till April 17th, but you can hear his latest single “North Side Gal” below or click here to check out the official music video. JD McPherson-North Side Gal
This brother and sister duo from LA flex their pop sensibilities with this track from their debut album. Coming from a extremely musical family (both parents plus a grandfather named John Williams), it’s no surprise they’d be able to find success with their California Rock sound.

Expect to add this new track from The Black Keys to the many that have already been used in numerous commercials. These guys are hit generators and this single has this DJ pumped for the new album to drop.
