"This first album is probably one of the most critically acclaimed Trip Hop albums to come out of 2013 , debuting and peaking #4 on previous charts . Even though it placed last on our charts for last week , it has still managed to sell well enough since it's release in September to make the cut . Give it up for the Italian Queen of Electronica , Vara Gallo and her track Eight from the album Lover's Eyes !"

Tracing the steps that I take Feeling mistakes that are fake Making excuses like imaginary friends that run away To where I've already been To where I already am So tell me, tell me it'll work out so I'll be wrong again I look inside, I'm surprised at what I see in my eyes So tell me, tell me was I there when I was taught how to lie? I thought I'd chase paradise, but I'll just settle for life So tell me, tell me did I die when I was taught how to lie? Don't tell me what it'll be because it's all in degrees And by degrees what I mean is you don't see what I see So is this falling apart, or are these pieces of me? Is this a nightmare to be, or am I building a dream?
When did this come to be? When did things pick up speed? Time gone by living in me Time gone by living in me Oh ohh Don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why I am here All that I've forgotten is only stopping to remind me Only I (only I) Know that I (know that I) Only I can be my own Odd sacrifice I suffered twice and all that I did Was believe
It's funny how life can be the circles dance around me Drawing a reminder of what I've done and who I've become Sleeping my days without dreams, waking at night without sleep Missing the truth to lie to the promises I heard I would keep I'm lost in my paradise, the walls have built in my life So tell me, tell me will I die if I forget how to lie?
When did this come to be? When did things pick up speed? Time gone by living in me Time gone by living in me Oh ohh Don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why I am here All that I've forgotten is only stopping to remind me Only I (only I) Know that I (know that I) Only I can be my only Odd sacrifice I suffered twice and all that I did Was believe "I'm going to admit , when it comes to this next album , I am extremely biased . I love these girls with all my heart and I am so proud of them as a manager and a mother . Being the first Hip Hop album to top an all-genre chart and praised in many reviews like Rolling Stone's as one of the most original mainstream projects created in a while , especially in Hip Hop , Rum & Coke has really set the bar with their second studio album , Epiphany . It has been on the charts for a good 5 months now and is steadily increasing in sales as it's follow up E.P , Aftermath , takes over our charts along with many other E.P's . Put your hands together for one of Epiphany's stand out tracks , Failed Escape !"

[Verse 1] Fame is a cage , without a key Without a lock , escape if you please Or you could just ... sail away ... A reverie , a reverie Did you hear the white rabbit call my name ? It's calling my name
[Pre-Hook] ... Or is it just me ? I cannot tell Sometimes I loose myself It really doesn't make much sense It's just a failed .... Escape
[Hook] Cause I can't face the Hell I wasn't made for this No human is But I was a human Now I'm a mannequin
Trapped in this cage, Feeling ... lonely with no hopes of escape But that's not the case ... Nay . Sitting in this cage, Feeling ... absolutely nothing . Dissocia... -ted
[Verse 2:] Familiar zone , forgetting my wrongs My conscious is ' clear ' , but my shoes have gone Somewhere over ... the rainbow Yellow Brick Road , Yellow Brick Road To follow it was what I was told So I do as I'm told ... But I still don't know
[Bridge] I think I've been here , once before , I'm .. Sure I've been down this road , oh... I guess that's kinda strange Kinda-kinda strange I-I guess that's strange
[Hook] Sometimes I loose myself ... I wasn't made for this No human is But I was a human Now I'm a mannequin
Trapped in this cage, Feeling ... lonely with no hopes of escape But that's not the case ... Nay . Sitting in this cage, Feeling ... nothing cause I'm not a human Dissocia...

Escape "First off , let me just say , anyone with red hair is the reason you exist . Thanks . But aside from that , Carmen Grant is known for many things . She talks in third person a lot ,which is weird . Her music has a strange layer of gloomy promiscuity attached to them , mixed with a cheap bottle of Bourbon , which is weird ... I guess that means she's just known for being weird and everyone knows weird people makes the best music . One of the biggest Indie Folk albums we've yet to see in 2014 , Grant's Mercury album shot straight up to #1 on all-genre charts and you can take it from me that the achievement was well deserved . I absolutely cannot explain to what degree I love Mercury and the track we are about to play from it . I suggest you just sit back and enjoy the beautifully written Ballad of the Wolf and the Scarecrow for the next 3 minutes and 46 seconds and let Carmen grant you life . Hehe , did you catch the world play ?"

He was the lone wolf, you could see it in his eyes The way he held his heart, the way he held his lies Sometimes he'd just show up outside on the porch An hour at a time, like a lonely whore
She was a scarecrow, the way she always looked around For something she once had and never could be found Time was on her side, but she never kept track All the hunters came and took her memories back
Once they met inside a dirty curtained room And the rain fell down hard that day onto the tin roof She said, "I've seen you before, I've been looking for you Better keep your heart close, hunters are coming for you." He said, "I've seen them before, and I always get away Because you will never stop looking, and I will never stay."
He was the lone wolf, you could see it in his eyes The way he held his heart, the way he held his lies Sometimes he'd just show up outside on the porch An hour at a time, like a lonely whore
She was a scarecrow, the way she always looked around For something she once had and never could be found Time was on her side, but she never kept track All the hunters came and took her memories back
The lone wolf kissed her mouth, like so many before Scarecrow closed her eyes and then she closed the door And the rain fell down on the tin roof when the memories returned the night Those stolen thoughts killed the wolf and all his lies
He was the lone wolf, you could see it in his eyes The way he held his heart, the way he held his lies Sometimes he'd just show up outside on the porch An hour at a time, like a lonely whore
She was a scarecrow, the way she always looked around For something she once had and never could be found Time was on her side, but she never kept track All the hunters came and took her memories back "Ashley Grimmie -- the "Underdog" of the year -- has really outdone herself with this next E.P . Debuting #2 on all-genre charts , Ashley Grimmie's Underdog comes in at #12 last week . Personally one of my favorites and I'll say very underrated because of the simple fact that , that #1 spot was supposed to be hers and hers only , with tracks like the one we're about to play and her cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah . Lads and gents , from her Underdog E.P , Let Love Guide You by Ashley Grimmie !"

Coming off of Andrea's long awaited debut album In And Out Of Consciousness , Bruised is one of the most artistically beautiful tracks I've seen from Pop/Rock in a while and I still can't get enough of it ! The album itself was so authentic and heartfelt and I am so relieved that it has reached #1 on previous all-genre charts because if not , I would have honestly lost all hope in music . It was released in January and ever since then has been nothing but a hit and hopefully award-winning . Coming in #10 on the charts , In And Out Of Consciousness with one of it's best track Bruised !"

I fell into your arms as a blank canvas Untouched, no story, no colour and without words You changed my world Painted and shaped me the way you wanted to Still had no meaning other than to serve you You changed my world
Took your time to finely craft me They can't look, can't touch, feel like I'm just property You shook my world I've been so worked on and manipulated Your hands worked their magic, now I'm shades of blue and red You shook my world
But for all these scars, I can't thank you enough You've prepared me for life, I can heal and toughen up
Another fist punches the wall, the cracks all start to show Your work of art is crumbling, crumbling around you You say that you love me, dedicated all your time to me Baby, you don't even know the meaning, meaning of love All those good intentions don't make you a better man But one thing I thank you for is leaving me, leaving me bruised I know how to deal with all the pain (bruised) I'll step outside into the rain (bruised) Let all the colours wash away (bruised)
Oh, oh, whoa-oh Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh Thank you, thank you for leaving me bruised
Listened to the critics pass on all of their remarks Started to learn that this wasn't ri-ight You broke my world So I painted a heart, painted a pair of eyes Saw you for what you were, no longer bli-ind You broke my world
But for all these scars, I can't thank you enough You've prepared me for life, I can heal and toughen up
Another fist punches the wall, the cracks all start to show Your work of art is crumbling, crumbling around you You say that you love me, dedicated all your time to me Baby, you don't even know the meaning, meaning of love All those good intentions don't make you a better man But one thing I thank you for is leaving me, leaving me bruised I know how to deal with all the pain (bruised) I'll step outside into the rain (bruised) Let all the colours wash away (bruised)
Oh, oh, whoa-oh Oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh Thank you, thank you for leaving me bruised
I am still a masterpiece, you should be so proud for helping me, Helping me get to where I am You built me up piece by piece, couldn't have done it without you Thank you, thank you, oh thank you for leaving me
Bruised....bruised...bruised....oh yeah

Well, I know that I should know better Then to sit here by the phone, waiting like a fool And my mailbox never got those letters That you promised would be coming my way soon
Well, it's a strange concept With all the tears I've wept That I would still accept If you asked me
Well, you show up when you want romancing And I'm the perfect one to play the part Well, I might be in your arms, dancing But I'm not the only one inside your heart
I know you're not all mine Because I've seen your waundering eyes Still I would not decline If you asked me
Everybody sees that love has made me blind And everybody knows that I have lost my mind And it may be true, my heart may be askew This love may be a ruse, I have everything to lose But how could I refuse If you asked me
Oh, my love I can't repress So, boy, I must confess What I wish you would request And I'm not going to make you guess So put me out of my distress With or without you, I'm a mess And, boy, I would say Yes!
If you asked me

Try to shrug this feeling off, its like someones watching Back there in the darkness, I know eyes are on me Not sure whats goin on but my skin is crawling And I know I hear footsteps but they stop when I stop walking There's something in the shadows This thing i tried to hide It will always follow It wants to see the light (2x)Worked so hard to hide this, wrapped dead demons in white sheets Stuffed skeletons in closets, I thought I had it beat! Again I face judgments and new friends turn their backs Even though I made a change there ain't no second chance Try to turn around and see, only empty streets I'm not just paranoid, it cant be just the breeze My past is back there lurking, it caught back up with me I had it left behind, I had it buried deep! There's something in the shadows. This thing i tried to hide. It will always follow. It wants to see the light. (2x)This things just a shadow Covering my back, it always trails behind me IM HAUNTED BY MY PAST There's something in the shadows. This thing i tried to hide. It will always follow. It wants to see the light. (3x) "When it comes to mISTER_b's The Energy , nothing but life was given throughout THE WHOLE album . With features from artists like Isabel Merjos , Billy Khan , Gemma Urie and Kato -- which , by the way are ALL #1 singles -- and many more , you just can't go wrong with mISTER_b's fabulous lyrics and resurrecting electronic beats and that is shown throughout all 12 tracks ... well really 11 . But definitely not because of mISTER_b . No time for shade throwing tho , ya feel me ? Hm , my slang has gotten better in the last hour . Anyway , I've been praying that mISTER_b released this next track as a single because I definitely see this topping every chart out here right now -- even though that's like 85 . People go crazy when charts discontinue these days . Give it up for mISTER_b's track featuring Vara Gallo from his hit album The Energy , What's Next ? !"

Logically, you would lower your head Inevitably, I kept looking at you Ferociously, I wanted rip out your head Graciously, you made me feel cruel
So what now? Are we done now? What’s next? What’s left?
I loved you in that crazy night You used me like an amusement park I gave to you my all You just gave me your half And now I just wanna kill you And you keep on coming back

Perfectly, we would be together Honestly, I could make your life better Deliberately, I was making up a fantasy Deceptively, you guided me in this fancy

"When Dance Pop and Contemporary R&B comes together in a single , it is destined to be a hit . But what happens when Dance Pop and Contemporary R&B infuses into one whole record ?

Peaking #1 on other charts and #5 on ours , it's safe to say Ms. Williams has found the perfect fuse of music to get millions of fans across the globe to buy , love and spread her album around !

I don't remember just how long it took me To throw away, the last of those memories But here at last, I can finally forget the past I can move on
Ye-ah! There must have been something in me Something I still believed Couldn't see the truth a mile away Had to find out the hard way But now that it's all gone I can carry on
Memories no more Memories no more Memories no more Memories no more
To forget you is all I ever wanted Can't believe that it's taken me so long Didn't know why I was so reluctant To let go, why did I hold on?
Ye-ah! There must have been something in me Something I still believed Couldn't see the truth a mile away Had to find out the hard way But now that it's all gone I can carry on
Memories no more Memories no more Memories no more Memories no more
Didn't know that I was so wrong To forget was all I wanted It took me a while to realize, that with time This was something easy to replace and so easy to erase Nothing but heartache
Ye-ah! There must have been something in me Something I still believed Couldn't see the truth a mile away Had to find out the hard way But now that it's all gone I can carry on
