The record label, Fueled by Ramen, clearly has an ear for popular music. With a musical stable that includes Panic! at the Disco, Paramore, Cobra Starship and Gym Class Heroes it is obvious that they have the formula for success written down and stored in a bank vault.
A Rocket to the Moon signed with Fueled by Ramen in 2008 and after constant touring they are carving a place for themselves on the charts. “Mr. Right” is a fun and energetic pop-rock song that is a great example of the music that they make. This song has been stuck in my head for several weeks now.

Nneka – “The Uncomfortable Truth”
Nneka is Nigerian and German. Her cultural background and upbringing greatly influences the incredible music that she creates. When I listen to Nneka I am reminded of how I felt when I first heard Lauryn Hill. In February 2010, the U.S. will be treated to her release of Concrete Jungle. This is going to be big. Get a sneak peak by checking out “The Uncomfortable Truth”.

Paper Tongues – “Ride to California”
I just can’t seem to get enough of groups that mix many musical genres together. The Paper Tongues combine rock, rap, and funk together in a way that feels natural. Their music is hard hitting, catchy and dance worthy.
The group formed in 2007, but 2010 is when we will see a lot of their hard work come to fruition. Their single “Ride to California” is setting the stage for big things to come.
