"Get My Way" feels like a preparation for a wedding - something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Ciara Corr is a new artist on the dance scene blending hip hop and house styles to create a catchy debut single (something new). Remixed by club legend John Morales, who did some of the earliest extended dance mixes by splicing tape with razor blade, the track fits the current commercial music you might hear on Sirius or US dance radio. You can discover John Morales classic M&M productions with Sergio Munzibai on a recently released BBE compilation. While not exactly sampled, there a several elements that seem borrowed from other current tracks - the whispered vocals, the hook in the chorus, yet they all seem fresh in this track. Blue could describe the lighting in the video or the slightly adult nature of the double entendres in the lyrics - "Dry lips aren't my choice," hmmm. Overall, "Get My Way" is a fun little dancepop song from a new artist worth watching in the future.

Though I've yet to hear the full track yet, this little taste sets the stage for a massive club record. Using a sample of the B-52's party classics "Loveshack" and the line "Right Here Right Now," Roger Sanchez has constructed and electro flavored party anthem. Big drop out, check. Big build up, check. Packed dancefloor going crazy, check. If this is out in time, watch for "2Gether" to be a big WMC buzz record.

A joint venture between San Francisco native Salvador Santana, who learned to play the piano and drums by the time he was 10, and the Beastie Boys' keyboard man, Money Mark, "Keyboard City" is a blend of jazz, downtempo and lounge with Santana's vocals hidden behind autotune, that would make T-Pain proud. This song might just reveal not only a budding keyboardist but a visionary with a robust style and sound that will leave your head bobbing with the beat.

Fans of Edward Maya's "Stereo Love" should check out this lovely europop track "My Story" by Celia. Produced by fellow Romanian Costi.Ro, the track has a similar tropical vibe, catchy accordion riff and well-effected angelic vocals. Imagine the Romanian version of Dannii Minogue and you've got an idea of why Celia might just be the next European pop tart du jour.
