Cheyenne Marie Mize first popped on our radar way back in September 2010 for her raw-sounding folksy single “Best,” and she hasn’t really left our music rotation since.

Now the Louisiana singer and songwriter is ready for round two with her followup album, We Don’t Need.

Out today, the disc is a natural progression for Mize; delving into R&B influence and some exotic beats, she’s proven her versatility without ditching her folk-rock base.

Her first single, “Wishing Well,” reminds us of a marriage between Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten ….but with an eclectic edge, as if the two took journey around the world and later transformed their trip into music.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Download “Wishing Well” below!

Well, kind of.

Mix master Spector has worked his magic on Florence’s single “No Light No Light” and he’s dubbed the result “The Ryan Gosling Remix.”

Sure, we were a little disappointed that Ryan Gosling doesn’t have a secret talent doing remixes himself.

But until he does (because c’mon, Ryan Gosling is kind of a superhero), this is the next best thing.

Download the track at RCRDLBL.

We thought we couldn’t love the Bleached girls any more.

Clearly we were wrong.

Get ready to obsess all over again with their new music video for “Searching Through the Past” above!

Daytrotter has just released its very own “best of” list, and it’s better than all the rest because you can download all the songs for free.

The 57-track mixtape includes everyone from Two Door Cinema Club to Grace Potter to ARMS, and it’s the ultimate way to give your iTunes an instant refresher.

Oh, and by the way:

about half of the artists on the list have been featured on NYLON within the past year (yay, Band Crush success stories!)

So go ahead and get dozens of new songs here!

Helsinki band Regina suddenly makes us want to start learning Finnish.

Even though we don’t really understand what they’re singing, it doesn’t matter, because the trio’s lilting pop melodies and breezy vocals speak for themselves.

The new video for their single “Mustavalkeaa” is the first of a three-part series by artist Osma Harvilahti, and we have the exclusive premiere.

Watch it above!

Good news: now you don’t have to keep reloading the music video for “Amanaemonesia” to get your Chairlift fix.

New York musical duo Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly are streaming their new album Something on KCRW, a week before it drops on January 24.

Head over here to start listening for yourself!

(And if you still want to keep watching the music videos for “Sidewalk Safari,” “Evident Utensil,” or even “Bruises” in the meantime, we totally understand.)

We’ve played Gotye’s single “Somebody That I Used to Know” an embarrassing number of times already.

Thanks to The Big Pink, we’re about to get addicted all over again.

In their cover of the hit song, Robbie and Milo have warped the track into an almost unrecognizable-but still super addictive- electronic jam.

Swapping out Kimbra for two male vocals, this version is filled with lots of twitchy beats, weirdly futuristic synths, and rumbling drum machines.

It’s crazy, cool, and totally different- but rather than taking our word for it, stream the new track (and watch the Gotye original) and tell us what you think!

It’s kind of crazy that exactly a year ago we posted this adorable video of Scout Willis and Ashton Kutcher’s ode to coffee (click here if you missed it).

Back then we wondered if Scout’s singing would turn into a serious thing, but guess what- it has.

Chilean-American musician Nicolas Jaar has just dropped a new single called “With Just One Glance,” featuring Scout on vocals.

This time around, though, she’s ditched the old last name and goes by Scout Larue (Larue is her middle name).

Interesting…..

Listen to the track here and let us know what you think!

Fans of classic ’70s music have a reason to celebrate, because two lost gems from the golden age of music–Love’s Black Beauty and Gene Clark’s Two Sides To Every Story– will be re-released, thanks to the excavation work of High Moon Records.
