Foreign Friday - Soak "B a noBody"


Origin: Derry, Ireland
Genre: Singer-songwriter

Yes, the title of the song is spelled like that. She's been around for a few years now and she's only eighteen. Her album Before We Forgot How to Dream comes out June 1.

Foreign Friday - Selah Sue "Alone"



This is her new single, it has potential to get her a bigger audience. But I doubt it will be her big breakout song. I'm digging it though. Her new album comes out on March 30th, so support good music. And checkout her song with Childish Gambino "Together" here.

Foreign Friday - Kara "Mamma Mia"


Young Ji is the cutest person ever and her and Jackson from GOT7 are the cutest friends ever. Anywho, I can't stop singing the chorus. And of course I'm into because of Roommate. You definitely need to watch it if you like KPop and/or KDramas.

Foreign Friday - EXO "Overdose"



Origin: Korea
Genre: Pop, R&B, Hip Hop
Website: exo.smtown.com

So this song is a year old, but I am just now obsessed with it because I started watching Roommate. It's a Korean reality show where 11 celebrities move into a big house together. For most, if not all of them, it's their first time living with other people that aren't their family or group members. And one of the roommates is Park Chan Yeol, a member of EXO. Also on the show is Park Bom from 2NE1 and Nana from After School.

Foreign Friday - Lylit "Unknown"


MTV premiered Lylit's new music video for "Unknown" this week. I really hope 2015 is going to be her year.

Foreign Friday - Ballet School "Ghost"




Origin: Denmark
Genre: Pop
website: balletschoolband.com

Their style seems to go from more traditional pop to more modern experimental pop. I'm not sold just yet, but I like this track because it sort of reminds me of an Utada song.

Foreign Friday - Disa "Sun"



Iceland Airwaves is in less than two weeks, so I want to post some of the artists that will be there. Disa is an Icelandic artist that has at bit of a dark Bjork, who is also Icelandic, sound. Check out more of her music here. And check out the line-up for Iceland Airwaves here.

Foreign Friday - Eva Stone "I Won't Wait"



Origin: Newcastle
Genre: Singer-songwriter
Website: evastonemusic.tumblr.com

She used to go by Amy Holford, whatever she calls herself the lady has soul. The other soulful Stone, Joss, has a big voice, but what I like about Eva is how she doesn't over-express. She belts and runs when it is an emphasis, not because she can. And what I like about this song is that it is the opposite of Dolly Parton's "Jolene." Instead of pleading with someone to not take her man, Stone is saying look I don't need you, I people lined up waiting for me, haha.
If you like more acoustic stuff, check out Burberry Acoustic's page on Youtube. I found Eva Stone from looking up James Bay's video.

Foreign Friday - James Bay "Let It Go"


Origin: Hitchin,UK
Genre: Singer-songwriter
Album/EP(s): Let It Go EP, Dark of the Morning
Website: jamesbaymusic.com
The only "Let It Go" that I have been listening to non-stop is James Bay's. If Sam Smith's voice is too whiny, no offense to Smith, for you, I would suggest James Bay. He has the soul with the grit of someone who's been heartbroken but not crying about it. More like he's fed up then sad.

Foreign Friday - Ego Ella May "Love Hard"



R&B hasn't really been winning for a while. Her album is the R&B/soul that I haven't heard in a while. It is a blend of other genres too, but you feel the soul. Origin: London Album: Breathing Underwater Website: embracemay.tumblr.com

Foreign Friday - Kimbra "90s Music"


Kimbra has always been a little different, and I love her for that. She recently released the video for her new track "90s Music." People who know her from Gotye's hit "Somebody I Used To Know," will not even recognize her in this.

Origin: New Zealand

Foreign Friday - Olamide ft. Wale "Make Us Proud"



Origin: Nigeria
It definitely has a bump this during the summer beat, but Olamide's voice sounds disjointed to me. Perhaps my yankee ears are just over-thinking it, haha.

Foreign Friday - The Bombay Flip Project "Love Never Felt So Good(MJ cover)"


Originally on Billboard.com, this cover of Michael Jackson's posthumous record breaking hit with Justin Timberlake, is so cute and not overly done. I would have actually liked it better if it was all in Hindi, but otherwise it's cute.
