Homemade Dynamite (Remix) [feat. Khalid, Post Malone & SZA] - Lorde [Post Malone:] You know I think you're awesome, right? The "Homemade Dynamite" remix from the 20-year-old New Zealand singer-songerwriter Lorde's surprisingly satisfying sophomore album Melodrama features some amazing features from three of R&B's most talented young artists: the 19-year-old Khalid , the 22-year-old Post Malone , and TDE's very own SZA . Each singer adds a welcome verse to an already solid song that can easily be thrown on a party, and each singer is in the midst of blowing up just as loudly as their homemade dynamite, making this one of the most exciting collaborations of the year. Post Malone's recent single " Rockstar " with Atlanta rapper 21 Savage has topped the Billboard charts for 3 weeks running, Khalid's debut album American Teen  has made him one of the most sought after features of the year, and SZA's debut Ctrl  launch...

Dark Star - Jaymes Young [Jaymes Young:] My heart was born out of the fire Falling into the same realm of indie/alternative R&B as Mr. Allan Rayman from yesterday's Song of the Day is this gifted singer/songwriter/producer  Jaymes Young , and admittedly, his songs are a bit more accessible than Rayman's. Young's smooth vocals glide over his own spacey, melancholy production, and he hits falsetto notes with graceful ease. His lyrics tend to be simple and poppy, but there's always a depth to them, and the way he sings each word adds it's own meaning. I first heard Young back in 2013 when I came across his Dark Star mixtape on Soundcloud, and have been a fan ever since. I don't think there's a song on the mixtape that I dislike; some highlights include " Two More Minutes ," " Moondust ," " Parachute ," and " Northern Lights ." He even performs two down-tempo covers: one of Justin Bieber's 2012 hit ...

Lucy the Tease - Allan Rayman [Allan Rayman:] Get out the car baby, please 'Cause any further, you can never leave If you don't know who Allan Rayman is by now I don't know what you're doing with your life. The alternative R&B artist has gained a reputation as a bit of an enigma  due to his mysterious live shows and secretive nature, and he is nothing less than an artist. He writes introspective songs and sings with a very unique vocal delivery, often crooning over the beat in a way that reminds me of the Cudi hum . "Lucy the Tease" is the song that introduced me to Rayman and remains my favorite of his. He's released two albums in the last two years - Hotel Allan  and Roadhouse 01  - which are both quite enjoyable and I recommend giving a few listens. "Lucy the Tease" is off the cinematic Hotel Allan , an album full of characters and stories. So do yourself a favor and learn yourself about this talented and strange new singer/...

Electric (feat. Khalid) - Alina Baraz [Alina Baraz & Khalid:] Kiss me, we're on fire, babe Love me, take me to outer space Alina Baraz and rising phenom Khalid ooze sensuality on this track. Their soft harmonies whisper over the chorus and intertwine like two lovers at dusk. The whole track brings up images of silhouettes wrapped in each others arms, lit by neon lights in the night sky. It feels like the energy of the one you're with combining with yours, punching holes in the atmosphere, warping time and space, until its just two shapes floating on a current of electricity in a private dimension of your own making. The moody, shadowy production comes from  Jonathan Elkær , the beatmaker of the Danish R&B duo Phlake .
