It’s been a while since we’ve heard any new Mike Posner music, but that’s all set to change, with the unveiling of new track I.D.G.A.F featuring Pharrell Williams.

The track, produced by Williams’ production-house The Neptunes, is set to appear on Posner’s forthcoming second album Sky High, set for release later this year and is a perfectly-created summer track that’s sure to go down well on the club circuit. Even better, there’s no production reference of anything EDM-related in sight! You know what to do – click the play button to hear I.D.G.A.F in it’s full glory.

Jessie J’s new video for ‘Wild’ leaks early online

jessie-j-wild

The video for Jessie J’s new single Wild has leaked online, earlier than its official release.

The track, which is expected to be released on iTunes as of midnight tonight, features Dizzee Rascal and Big Sean, both of whom also make appearances in the video.

Whilst no doubt the track will be a chart-success, it’s a shame that the spark that brought her to the attention of the masses (in the form of Do It Like A Dude and those countless acoustics of Price Tag) have been lost in the transition to second-album-mode.

Anyhow, make your own mind up and take a listen and watch below:
