99 Problems - Hugo: We’re digging this old-school, bluesy re-interpretation of Jay-Z’s hard-hitting original.

Dogs Day Are Over (Yeasayer Remix) - Florence + The Machine:
Apart from Lady Gaga’s meat dress, who can forget Florence Welch’s ethereal live performance of this anthem at the VMA? Here’s a slightly tamer treatment of the song courtesy of psych-pop indie outfit Yeasayer.

Alors On Danse - Stromae: A stoned-looking Belgian/Rwandan dude rapping in French over Eurodance beats: it’s so wrong but it’s oh-so-right.

Interstellar - Gramaphone Children: Remixer Jaree Thanapura of Gramaphone Children, pays homage to the glorious 80s he grew up in with this electro sythpop.

Hands - The Ting Tings:
The delight-ful Brit duo is back, delivering their usual quirky fun.

24.7 - Singular: Former choir crooner Sin and acoustic guitarist Nut manage to create a decent piece of bossa nova without falling back on Michael Jackson’s back catalogue.

2 Trees - Foals:
The Oxford postpunk quintet delivers yet another serving of melancholy, topped with a good chunk of heartbreaking strings. It’s the same somberness we loved in previous single “Spanish Sahara.”

Just the Way You Are - 
Bruno Mars: Leave Bieber to the tweens and embrace the more soulful and age-appropriate Bruno Mars.

Leave It Here - Singto Numchoke:
If you’re not already by the sea, this breezy number by our very own Jason Mraz will make you wish you were.

I Want You - Cee-Lo Green: Taking a break from Gnarls Barkley, the king of neo-soul rolls out a smooth hum-along from his upcoming solo album The Lady Killer.
