If you feel like you will throw a radio out the window if
you hear “Call Me Maybe” or “Gangnam Style” on the radio one more time, it may
be time for a new music intervention.
Here are three songs that I think you’ll be hearing a lot of in the near future. Check ‘em out now before they get played out!

Priyanka Chopra “In My City”
Do you remember the Pussycat Dolls taking on Slumdog Millionaire’s
“Jai Ho” and
thinking “that’s pretty good?” A lot of people agreed, as the song
became a
worldwide hit. Now picture that instead of Nicole Scherzinger singing
the lead
that someone from India did and RedOne produced with will.i.am guested
on the
track. That is exactly what we are looking at now with the debut of
Bollywood
star and Miss World 2000 Priyanka Chopra. “In My City” may very well be
the Jam Of The Fall with the right visibility. Chopra has Interscope
Records, Lady Gaga
manager Troy Carter, and mega producer RedOne all behind her, so do not
sleep
on this one. It’s going to be huge.
The Wanted “I Found You”
While much of the world may be going crazy for One Direction’s
new single “Live While We’re Young,” the five guys of The Wanted who beat One
Direction to the US are also previewing their next US album (due in 2013) by
releasing “I Found You.” The opening chords sound very similar to “Glad You
Came,” but don’t let that chase you off. Vocally the band sounds like they have
gotten stronger since their debut EP, and lyrically there’s a maturity present
that 1D are probably a decade away from hitting - if they last that long. While
the single might not be as instantaneously catchy as “Glad You Came,” “I Found
You” may keep The Wanted from being one-hit wonders.
Delta Rae “Morning Comes”
This one may not be as immediate as the other two songs
listed here, but Delta Rae is a force to be reckoned with as they make a move
for the mainstream. Consisting of two brothers and a sister, as well as three other band members, the family harmonies shine through on their major-label debut album Carry the Fire. And it’s not just any
major label. Seymour Stein, credited with discovering the Ramones, the
Pretenders and Madonna, signed them to his Sire Records personally. Delta Rae
are currently featured on VH1’s You Oughta Know, and they are killing it live
across the country, including at the Larimer Lounge here in Denver where they
played on September 28. Not only do they make great music, but
they are also allies in the fight for same-sex marriage rights. They dedicated
“Chain on Love” to the fight against a constitutional amendment in North
Carolina earlier this year banning same-sex unions.
