Huge spring, summer track. And OutKast...where I have this wrenching feeling it could sound like Shaquille O'Neal looked in aCeltics’ jersey. Lastly I'd like to seePitbull featuring Pitbull.
Kelso, WBBO: I'm most excited about which ever one puts out the biggest HITS of the year, summer music always seems to do it for me ;)
Mike Miller, WHKF:Icona Pop's new single 'Just Another Night" and Jason Derulo.
Spam, HFS at 97.5: Alternative singles I'm most excited about for 2014:Phantogram "Fall In Love" - We were fortunate to be the first station on the planet to spin this record, and with just one spin, we were bombarded with phone calls, text messages, Facebook posts, and tweets. At that very moment, and still to this day with every single spin, the only song we've played at 97.5 FM that has come anywhere close to being that reactive was "Royals" by Lorde...so that tells you something about how special this record is. Too sexy to ignore, too dark and trippy to write off as a pop song that's simply being warmed up by our format. Heavy English "21 Flights" - A bluesy, catchy, anthemic indie rock monster. These guys already sound like superstars. I've listened to this song hundreds of times already and I'm still eagerly singing along with the "woo-oo". Whoever signs these guys has found a pot of gold.
Chuck Damico, WMMR-WBEN: Talking Heads... A guy can dream can’t he?
