Dutch Dance Diva Eva Simons Returns with Hot New Single

Dutch recording artist Eva Simons needs to become a household name.  After releasing popular tunes like her 2009 hit "Silly Boy," and the international smash collaboration with DJ Afrojack, "Take Over Control,"  27 year Eva Simons is BACK on the dancefloor with a bangin' new track called "I Don't Like You." AMAZING.  Simons premiered the new single March 20th and released it internationally on March 26th through Interscope Records.  The song was produced by German producer/DJ Zedd, who's known for 'Zedd style' which draws from the Progressive house, Complextro and Dubstep genres of dance music.  Zedd has worked with everyone from The Black Eyed Peas, and Lady Gaga to Fatboy Slim, Skrillex and Armand Van Helden.

Eva Simons first gained notoriety in 2004 when she competed in and won the Dutch version of Popstars, a TV talent show and precursor to the Idol series.  On the show, Simons was a member of short lived girl band, Raffish, which disbanded in 2006.  Simons surfaced again in a big way in 2009 when her song "Silly Boy" leaked online, featuring hot as hell remixes by Dave Audé, DJ Escape & Tony Coluccio and Richard Vission.  "Silly Boy" was eventually released as Simons' debut single at the end of July 2009, after amassing over 10 million listens on YouTube.

Jessie J to Release David Guetta Collaboration, 'LaserLight' May 13th

On May 13th British singer/songwriter Jessie J will release "LaserLight," a collaboration with French DJ/Producer David Guetta as the seventh single off her triple-platinum selling debut album, Who You Are.  The song, which was written by Jessie J herself along with The Invisible Men, Giorgio Tuinfort, Frederick Riesterer and Guetta, appears on the special Platinum Edition of Who You Are, which was released November 14th in her native UK.  

While nothing new or groundbreaking, "LaserLight" certainly isn't a toss away track.  After having worked with Jessie J previously on a track ("Repeat") included on his last album, Guetta returns the favor here on "LaserLight."  Taking full advantage of David Guetta's mass popularity and penchant for creating dance divas out of traditional pop stars, this collaboration totally makes sense to me.  "LaserLight" is a club-friendly banger that works with Jessie J's powerhouse vocals soaring over Guetta's generous electro-house beats.  It's basically "When Love Takes Over" featuring Jessie J, and that's not a dis by any stretch of the imagination.  A video for the single has reportedly been filmed and is expected out soon.
