MNEK did his own remix of the gorgon city track as well:
https://soundcloud.com/mnek-1/mnek-ready-for-your-love

"I decided to make it a bit more baby-makey/Mariah-esque for you. Enjoyyyyyy"

and he co-wrote "need u (100%)"

Can't wait for the non-stripped down version of "Don't Call This Love".

i've been listening to this song all day, the final note he hits is incredible

yeah this song is awesome

obv been covered that he's got an impressive resumé. his song on the latest little mix album is also great

We have a cut on the @kylieminogue album coming out soon! It's called "Feels So Good" (written by @tom_aspaul). It might be familiar.

Holy shit, he did these when he was 14?

his sound cloud is full of refixes of 90s pop songs as bass joints. he has a mash up of JLo's Waiting for Tonight with SFA's Flowers that is heavenly

https://soundcloud.com/mnek-1/mnek-waiting-for-tonight

he's got 11 refixes i think that make a lovely little covers album of their own.

the song of his that kylie re-did for her album is fantastic https://soundcloud.com/kylie-minogue-official/feels-so-good01-wav/s-Ezcm3

I like the production of the original more. Wish MNEK (or whoever) didn't tinker with it.

The last minute of this: http://www.thefader.com/2014/03/24/stream-iyes-breathe/

I tried to download the file of "Don't Call This Love" he was giving out for free, but it kept giving me some George Michael song.

The song doesn't sound like George Michael at all (if your post was a joke).

It was not, I tried three different times and each time it gave me Song To The Siren.

Holy shit, that is weird.

His new single is playing on BBC Radio 1Xtra right now and the host has excitedly restarted the track like three times now, which is way more than the song deserves.

this song is kind of bad

you don't say

key change in the chorus is ugly

it's okay, the direction is interesting and there's some cool bits. but it's only okay.

At least his vocals are still stunning.

http://www.thefader.com/2014/06/13/mnek-i-wrote-a-song-about-you/

this one's pretty nice

Better than "Every Little Word", but I long for a song like "Wrong A Song…" with the sonic details of "Every Little Word". Maybe that sounds better in theory...

I want to hear the song MNEK wrote.

Okay, I really love this song now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwKh9aFNHLc

this song is definitely good. much better than "every little word"

production especially has a lot of things going on w/o feeling overloaded

I want to hear that In Your Clouds song he put on itunes yesterday but it's not available in the US.

https://soundcloud.com/chrismalinchak/happiness

best song w/ this title since alexis jordan?

That Chris Malinchak song is wonderful.

Here's "In Your Clouds":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NGnac16D60

I just streamed his iTunes Festival performance and he played a couple of new songs. A couple of songs he co-wrote with Jimmy Napes, one in particular that was pretty good was "Until The End". He also did the non-stripped-down version of "Don't Call This Love" and it might be the first MNEK production I flat-out dislike. His cover of Lumidee's "Never Leave You" is really fun.

'wrote a song about you' chorus is probably my biggest earworm of 2014... terrible shame he blew the rest of it

which is not to say it's necessarily bad how it came out but just that it could genuinely have been a real smash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NSr9PZFCYI

the 'ready for your love' follow-up also coulda shoulda have been this rereleased with verses

devolution are generally in the same super-talented (about a billion times more so than gorgon city) can't-quite-catch-that-break boat

Surprised "Wrote A Song About You" wasn't a bigger hit in the UK. Felt like it was on-trend enough to get radio play and good enough in it's own right to be massive. Also if it had been we'd probably be getting the album sometime this year instead of next like he's been saying recently.

And yeah, if the production that accompanied it at the itunes festival set is the full production, then I agree the stripped down version he did of Don't Call This Love is better. Only thing I prefer in it over the stripped version is the echoing backing vocals.

"in your clouds" is pretty good!

nothing has blown me away but i'm looking forward to it being a really nice album

I can't really square "nothing has blown me away" with "I'm looking forward to it"

https://soundcloud.com/mnek-1/the-rhythm

that kaytranada remix of "wrote a song about you" sure rubbed off on him

which is a good thing, i love that remix and this is really good as well

no chatter around his new single yet??

Other than "Tongue", the other songs from the upcoming album are... not great. :(
