Kanye West featuring Paul McCartney - Only One by Alex Young

And the first post of 2015 goes to Kanye West. Right as we brought in the New Year Kanye released his wonderful song with Paul McCartney we have been hearing rumors about for a while, "Only One". Along with the styling from The Beatles legend, Kanye sings with love in his heart from the perspective of his late mother, Donda West. In a tweet Kim said, "People always ask me what my favorite Kanye song is and it's Only One. Kanye feels like his mom sang thru him to our daughter." It certainly seems that way, but hear the emotion in his voice for yourself as you can stream "Only One" below.

KYLE and Kehlani Tell Us Instagram Likes do not Mean Sh*t by Alex Young

Love is an experience and understanding shared by two people going throughout life together, living in the present, making memories, and being completely engulfed in the moment. However, the Ventura, CA crooner, KYLE, and Oakland, CA songstress, Kehlani, fear that the world's next generation of kids will interpret love by the number of likes on their Instagram picture. Their new song, "Just A Picture", KYLE explains to FADER, "was inspired by the fear that there will be a 'selfie class' in middle school 20 years from now. Our kids grow up thinking that liking someone means double tapping their picture." The important message is accompanied by a funky pop beat produced by Sunny Norway and Ben Free. Enjoy below!
