SINGLE REVIEW: The Wanted – “Walks Like Rihanna”

Artist: The Wanted
Track: “Walks Like Rihanna”
Album: TBA

2012 brought the resurrection of boy bands and their ability to turn teen girls into deafening scream factories to the television sets, internet browsers, and social media feeds of pretty much everyone on the planet. Even if you’re obsessed with metal and live in a small farming community in South Dakota surrounded by locally-owned businesses and the occasional gas station, there is absolutely zero chance you have made it to this point without hearing the music of, or at least the name of one of the following groups: The Wanted, One …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Drake – “Started From The Bottom”

Drake has jumped the gun on his plans to release a new single later this month and graced the internet with his first new song in over a year.

Originally scheduled to premiere the night of the Grammys, “Started From The Bottom” is the first single to be released off Drake’s forthcoming follow-up to 2011′s Take Care. The track features Drizzy going in over a snare-heavy beat about his rise to the top, with a hook that will instantly stick to the walls in your mind. You can stream, download, and enjoy “Started From The Bottom” below.

STREAM: Justin Timberlake Ft Jay-Z – “Suit & Tie”

The wait is over.

Just days after teasing his return to the world of pop music, Justin Timberlake has made good on his promise with release of “Suit & Tie.” The song is, to say the very least, exactly what we were hoping to hear. Just as FutureSex/LoveSounds took a bold step outside what everyone else was doing at the time, “Suit & Tie” strays from the EDM-loving wave of empty dance hits currently plaguing the top 40 and chooses instead to offer something a bit classier for fans of classic pop music who don’t mind a little spice in …

STREAM: The Game Ft Kanye West and Common – “Jesus Piece”

After weeks of anticipation, the title track from The Game’s forthcoming album has finally found its way online.

Six days ahead of street date, “Jesus Piece” popped up on blogs not long ago and quickly began spreading through the interwebs. The track pairs Common and The Game, with a Kanye sample to beef up the hook, and the results are even more electrifying than we expected. It’s hard to go verse-to-verse with Common, but The Game manages to pull through and remain the main attraction. You can stream “Jesus Piece” after the jump.

We cannot take credit for all the …

DRAMA: Pusha T Disses Lil Wayne (Again)

I love Pusha T’s music the way pop punk boys and girls cling to crewneck sweatshirts when we all know zippered hoodies provide more overall warmth and comfort. This week he returns to the headlines of UTG for saying the kind of things about Lil Wayne that I know the majority of the staff has jokingly commented on from time to time, as well as the majority of the jaded drunken geniuses who pontificate to one another about everything that’s “wrong” in current pop culture over 80s classics in bars on weeknights.

Tl;Dr version: Pusha T thinks Lil Wayne fell …

Mayday Parade

STREAM: Mayday Parade Ft Vic Fuentes (Pierce The Veil) – “Somebody That I Used To Know” (Cover)

After a weekend of teasers and competition, Mayday Parade have unveiled their cover of Gotye’s inescapable hit, “Somebody That I Used To Know.” The cover is taken from Fearless Records’ upcoming Punk Goes Pop 5 compilation and features guest vocals from Pierce The Veil’s Vic Fuentes. You can stream the song after the jump.

I’m sure we will eventually review the entire PGP5 release, but I’ll say right now that the two songs that have surfaced thus far have done nothing for me. Maybe the emptiness of top40 has become so great that not even hardworking artists can sell it …

STREAM: Kanye West – “White Dress”

A day after setting blogs ablaze with a snippet, the full version of Kanye West’s contribution to The Rza’s Man With The Iron Firsts OST has surfaced online.

Released with an accompanying visual that does not pass an official video, “White Dress” makes good on the teaser’s promise of delivering an old school Kanye flow against a chilled beat and it feels damn good. Yeezy has never not shined, but his ability to connect listeners with his stories has definitely wavered in recent years, and while “White Dress” doesn’t completely make up for that, it’s definitely a good start. You …

STREAM: Adele – “Skyfall”

It was confirmed within the last two weeks and tonight we have the premiere of Adele’s theme for the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall. Written with Paul Epworth, Adele’s signature elegance breathes larger-than-life qualities into this one, and I think it fits nicely alongside the other legendary themes in the Bond cannon. You can stream the single after the jump.

Skyfall hits theaters this November

Pierce The Veil 2012

STREAM: Pierce The Veil Ft. Kellin Quinn – King For A Day

The wait is over.

Following last week’s tease and just days ahead of album preorders, Pierce The Veil have debuted the lead single off their forthcoming album. “King For A Day” features Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn and finds the boys from California delivering another round of balls-to-the-wall rock and roll. You can stream the song after the jump.

After you listen, comment below and let us know your thoughts on Pierce The Veil’s latest. If you love it, be sure to stop by iTunes and pickup a copy tomorrow morning.

STREAM: Far East Movement Ft. Tyga – Dirty Bass

The most anticipated Far East Movement single of 2012 has arrived and it’s as nasty as you hoped.

“Dirty Bass” pairs the “Like A G6″ hitmakers with YMCMB’s Tyga for a trunk-rattling jam that is sure to be invading radio all Summer long. As the title suggests, it’s the songs thick, literally head-shaking bass that lingers long after the music stops. You can stream “Dirty Bass” after the jump.

Far East Movement have a new album coming out and it’s likely “Dirty Bass” will be the single to propel them back into the forefront of pop music. Not sure we …

STREAM: Soundgarden – Live to Rise

We brought you the tease a little over a week ago, now UTG delivers the full stream of Soundgarden’s first song in over a decade.

It has been fifteen years since the world heard new noise from the world of Soundgarden, but that all changes right now, thanks to YouTube. Taken from the soundtrack to Marvel’s The Avengers, “Live To Rise” rips with a thick groove and a hook genre fans of any ages will probably swoon over. Click past the jump and enjoy.

Critics will be weighing in by dawn, so beat them to it and comment below …

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Swizz Beatz – Off The Cuff

Only a few short weeks after a snippet surfaced, UTG finally has the full cut of Swizz Beatz’ latest.

Tackling a relatively modest beat, “Off The Cuff” finds Beatz going in with lines about life in NYC, as well as a fair share of braggadocios comments. Not exactly the hit of the year, but a solid speaker-rattler nonetheless. Click through to stream, download, and enjoy.

Swizz has made a name for himself through hard work and dedication to the game. That said, these verses could really use some work before he tries to step too far into the modern vocal …
