fresh : new Benassi/Kelis, N.E.R.D., Vampire Weekend

I love Benny Benassi and probably always will, and this is going to be the summer of Kelis (but the year of Robyn... thank god they're on tour together)... here's a great collaboration between the two called Spaceship:

Also brand new is a remix by Boys Noize of a track I posted a couple weeks ago, Hot N Fun by N.E.R.D. Not too shabby...

Lastly, everyone knows my distaste for how overrated Vampire Weekend is... but I do like this track (off the stellar Twilight: Eclipse soundtrack), titled Jonathan Low:

fresh : new nelly furtado

Here are two tracks (they may be new they may not... I don't really give a crap, considering they're new to me and most likely you anyway) from Nelly Furtado, one of which is a decent duet with N.E.R.D. frontman, Pharrell. I dig them, mostly. I think Nelly Furtado is one of the more interesting pop artists. She's very versatile and writes very well, but since her foray into the Timbaland forest, she's opened up many doors. Girlfriend in This City is pretty amazing, I think. It's exactly the direction in which I wanted Nelly to go, and she's taken it by the horns. Check'em out and think for yourself:
