DOWNLOAD: Kelley Polar - Entropy Reigns
First introduced to the music world through his elegant and zestful string work on Metro Area's seminal singles, Kelley Polar has since bloomed as a brilliant solo artist. That he's done so isn't much of a surprise, as at age of three Polar was recognized as a violin prodigy and had been composing classical tunes ever since. But the classical mindset has hardly left his music stuffy, as evinced on his second and profusely diverse album, I Need You to Hold On While the Sky Is Falling (Environ Records).
Since up and moving to rural New Hampshire, Polar's eccentric pop tunes gained a manic confidence which lends more charge to his electro-styled beats and delightfully histrionic vocals. "Entropy Reigns," the album's first single, finds Polar and the talented Claire de Lune sharing neurotic love lines over trotting string lines and bubbly synth pop melodies. It's the kind of fun you'll dare to have even if the world is collapsing around you. DJs can rejoice, too, as the single includes two floor-filling remixes from the dynamic duo Ewan Pearson and Al Usher.

DOWNLOAD: Nicole Atkins - Party's Over
This free Nicole Atkins jam is super melodramatic. Like if they were to make a virtual lower east side Aladdin, they should definitely have Nicole Atkins crooning this swooner to i don't know... James Levy? On a magic welcome mat? Can you picture him in those little shoes? Yeah, I'm comfortable with that casting. Anyway, this is some sweepy weepy '50s ballad in '90s fishnets and eyeliner. Do you disagree?
