TRACK RECORD

New Music From Ultra Naté & Michelle Williams, Perfume Genius And More!

http://youtu.be/HoRzKxNyVAk

Ultra Naté and Michelle Williams have teamed up to create the musical equivalent of a vodka and Red Bull—and we swear we mean that as a compliment! “Waiting On You” is everything that a big gay dance anthem should be: fast-paced, high-energy, slick and seductive. It’s a throwback to the days when dance music was its own thing, and not the culturally pervasive flavor of the moment. Think back to the way you felt the first time you heard Deborah Cox’s “Absolutely Not” on the dance floor. That’s the vibe this track is serving.

The Karl Giant-directed video features Naté and Williams vamping it up but, close your eyes, and all you’ll see is shirtless hunks waving their hands in the air and singing along to this diva double-shot.

It was criminal of YouTube to ban the video for Perfume Genius’ “Hood—sure it featured porn star Arpad Miklos, but there was no nudity or sexual content. But it has done wonders for Mike Hadreas’s notoriety: The Seattle-based performer’s new video, “Dark Parts” is noticeably free of porn stars, though it does feature one very special guest appearance: Hadreas’s mother. We’re assuming those are his dogs too.

The first single from Jason Courtois’ multimedia project, Koortwah, is a haunting experiment in what contemporary electro pop can be. “Candy In the Sun” starts out with a menacing electro buzz over a beat that sounds like the clock ticking away the last moments of your sanity. Courtois’ voice has an androgynous quality that’s sboth captivating and unsettling at the same time, and his lyrics are no less soothing. We expect some will write off the song as self-indulgent art pop, but it has a way of needling into your head and staying there. We’ll bet you all the Gummi Bears in our pocket you’ll be humming it for at least the next week.
