BATTLE: Young Wonder – Orange -VS- Hot Sugar – #Mindcontrol

BATTLE: Young Wonder – Orange -VS- Hot Sugar – #Mindcontrol

Alright, finally some new music! (You can thank Pandora and Beatport for today’s battle, great music discovery tools.) Young Wonder is a duo out of Ireland and while their discography is still in it’s infancy, I hear lots of promise.

COMMERCIAL: Two String/Piano Tracks

Dusty Road is the perfect cinematic accompaniment for your period movie (think Road To Perdition).

BATTLE: Mariah Carey – Always be my Baby -VS- Nelly Furtado – Turn off the Light

This one might be a run away but I still think these songs match up well. Mariah has staying power but Nelly is no slouch either.
