SING ALONG:

Just a little bit longer
Til I’m all up on ya
I can’t keep my hands to myself 
Waiting long is bad for my health

Baby you got that
You got exactly what I need
Somethings thrown off my inner peace
But you carry the remedy

Time is running out 
No time for talkin’
There’s other ways to use your mouth 
Time is running out 
A little less talkin’
There’s other ways to use your mouth

Oooh ooh ooh oooh ooooh oooeh oooh ooh

Mmm , A little less talkin

Oooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oh oh 
Ooeh ooh oh

come a little bit closer
So I can get all up on ya
Keeping that body to yourself
That’s detrimental for your health 
You know I got that
I got that good shit that you need
Don’t be shy you can have a piece 
I’ve been waiting here all damn week

Time is running out 
No time for talkin’ no 
There’s other ways to use your mouth 
Time is running out 
A little less talkin’
There’s other ways to use your mouth

Oooh ooh ooh oooh ooooh oooeh oooh ooh

Other ways to use your mouth

Oooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oh oh 
Ooeh ooh oh

A little less talkin’

I’ve been waitin’ boy
I want a taste more
Of what you got
You hit the spot
Give it all to me
Sugar and spice 
You keep me up all night
Every inch of you 
Meets every inch of me

Time is running out 
No time for talkin, no 
There’s other ways to use your mouth
Time is running out
A little less talkin 
There’s other ways to use your
(“ pop”)

There’s other ways
Other ways to
Use your 
Use your mouth

Introducing the incredible Julia Knight, listen to their new single 'Cool For You' here

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Our latest obsession comes from singer/songwriter, Julia Knight. With their new single ‘Cool For You’, we get a small taste of Julia’s incredible talent and lyrical skill. Fresh off their debut via Taste and Tone under Atlantic Records, Julia is already one of our favorite artists of 2018.

Why? Well, when it comes to originality, Julia Knight is a breath of fresh air. Her performance and writing skills come from a genuine place and that’s extremely rare to find in an ocean of mediocrity. This should not be taken lightly. Just you wait and see.

In closing, we can’t wait to hear more from the artist in the coming months, but until then, we’ll be keeping ‘Cool For You’ on constant repeat. Don’t forget to subscribe to Julia Knight online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘cool for you’ is about a super brief relationship that looking back on, I had no business being in really. I met someone in the summer and thought everything was working out, only for it to end abruptly a short couple months later. It’s about trying to be so cool and casual as a way to protect yourself. I hated that.” — Julia Knight

Jay Warren returns with new R&B single 'Felony Love'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

By far, Jay Warren is one of the few artist’s we’ve come across since the launch of G&S that truly puts his whole heart and soul into his lyrics and music. Jay’s lyrical style is as vibrant and as powerful as they come. Something that very few have come to appreciate over the years due to the overflow of bland pop-bobs and overly tweaked auto-tune hooks.

But no, not Jay. When it comes to his music releases, the artist lets the music and his vocal performance work its magic… and for us, it works every-time. Don’t forget to subscribe to Jay Warren online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“Felony Love is interesting because it’s a natural oxymoron. From the title, to the way the music and vocals juxtapose the lyrics. The song speaks to a dysfunctional relationship in which the narrator feels trapped by the love he has for his significant other. The concept of Felony Love is twofold. The narrator feels as though his partner should be charged with Felony, while also realizing the level of love he feels is so overwhelming it should be a crime. He wrestles with the idea of leaving the relationship and why that may be the best option. The music and vocal performance, however, paint a very different picture. The production immerses the listener in the passion and heated romance of the relationship.” — Jay Warren

Have you seen Kaien Cruz's music video for 'Dangerous' yet? Watch it here!

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

The incredible Kaien Cruz graced our platform with her new song ‘Dangerous’ and we’ve been obsessed, ever since. When Cruz’s team reached out to share the accompanying music video, we knew we had to share it with our readers.

“I wrote ‘Dangerous’ during a very frustrating time in my life. I’d just realized that a lot of people in this industry that I thought had my back, actually didn’t. So this song is about those people and other things in my life that I thought were good for me, but were only holding me back.” - KAIEN CRUZ

Whether you’re blown away by Kaien Cruz’s voice or the artist’s beautiful and well-written vocal style… the music video will surely seal the deal. A cinematic masterpiece that delicately re-writes the tone and ambiance of the song in a way that elevates the song’s overall magic.

Watch out, pop duo RUUMER, deliver a jaw-dropping visual for their new song 'Gimme Some' (feat. Sammy Adams)

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Music became an outlet for these two sisters after breaking free from the chains of Catholic school and the confines of suburban life. Today, Melis and Jess decided it was time to trash their school uniforms and trade them in for fashionable streetwear. Together, they want you to join their girl gang revolution and we couldn’t be anymore excited about it.

We believe that whether or not you enjoy pop music, RUUMER brings a sound that’s undeniably catchy and great for anyone. Their vocal style is not only powerful and moving but their personalities are as charismatic and as fun as one could hope for—making music fun and innocent all while tackling important topics and misconstrued social norms.

We love the message and purpose behind RUUMER and we can’t wait to hear what the two ladies have in stored next. Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SONG + VIDEO:

“We teamed up with rapper Sammy Adams for our new single “Gimme Some”. It’s a vibey, anthemic jam that’s all about empowering women’s sexuality. Inspired by our Catholic school upbringing, it is essentially a satire on the sexually oppressing environment of our youth….”

“….We worked with a killer female director, MK Schneider. There are competing visuals of women being traditionally feminine and the new age confidence in being who you are no matter how you look, no matter what you like. It embraces all angles of the modern woman and shatters the stereotypes that they are given.”

Dark and melodic, mysterious hip-hop duo Darci, makes their return with new single 'Won't'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s been incredible watching Darci grow over the last year. Since day 1, we’ve covered every release and for good reason. We LOVE the original sound that Darci delivers—blending elements of dark under-tones, massive sounding drums, melodic elements, and a truly diverse and exciting vocal style. Darci’s distinct sound is amongst some of the few we can’t seem to get over. The duo is rapidly growing in popularity and will soon become a staple within the hip-hop and electronic music scene.

But don’t take our word for it, the duo has amassed an incredible 20 million streams across all music platforms, platforms like Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify… all while keeping their identity, a secret.

To top it all off, Darci was signed to UTA which led to some of their first live appearances and a variety of festival appearances such as HARD Summer, Mamby On The Beach and 515 Alive. This New Years Eve, the duo will be performing at the legendary Lake Tahoe festival, SnowGlobe. You can grab tickets here.

We have so much to look forward to still and we can’t wait to see what the duo has in stored. If you love the new song, be sure to connect with the artist’s online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT FINBONGO HAS TO SAY:

“At last, we finished our debut-single, Figures, after spending endless hours in the attic of a worn old villa in Oslo, Norway. We had to work late at night to avoid traffic noise and recorded in intervals between the passing trains, some of them even made it to the record.“ - Finbongo
