Hello, the past week has been a shocking one, with the passing away of big names like Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett. Anyway, let’s move on and check out what the iTunes Store has to offer for us freebies hunters this week.
Ace Hood leads this week’s lineup with his free Single of the Week download, Loco Wit The Cake. A signee to DJ Khaled’s We the Best/Def Jam imprint, Ace Hood is riding the shockwaves from the success of “Overtime” with a brand-new single, “Loco Wit the Cake.” Ace Hood shows off his flamboyant lifestyle (“Spend 30 in the mall/Five cars sitting tall”) over a treacherous Schife beat. “Loco Wit the Cake” reveals that the cards are in Ace Hood’s favor. If you liked this free download, be sure to also check out the full album, Ruthless.
Next, check out this week’s Discovery Download featuring Leslie Mendelson’s Hit the Spot. Any recording that begins with an old-fashioned walking double bass line already sounds like a winner to us. Add suave yet understated drumming, crisp acoustic guitar comping, and, most importantly, singer/songwriter/pianist/guitarist Leslie Mendelson’s spirited voice, and one gets a song that does indeed, as advertised, “Hit the Spot.” The bluesy piano and boozy horns that come in later fortify the song’s adult-pop brilliance, which will make listeners frequently click “repeat.” Support Mendelson – check out the full album entitled, Swan Feathers.
Laberinto is this week’s Canción de la Semana download by Roba. Robert Avellanet spent his youth as a member of Menudo in the late ’80s, and honed his rock skills throughout the ’90s as a part of bands like Euphoria, El Reencuentro, and Los Ultimos Heroes. Now he’s back as RoBA and with a new album, Jet Privado. “Laberinto” is a smooth pop track on the surface, but it rocks with gusto – a blazing guitar kicks the tune off which helps bring RoBA into a new level of rock ‘n’ roll sincerity. If you fancy this free track, then don’t forget to also check out the full album, Jet Privado.
Last but not least is this week’s free Music Video of the Week download. Check out All In by The Grouch & Eligh. Get the download, then check out the song version from their full album, Say G&E! As usual, here’s the 30-seconds preview, proudly hosted by our YouTube Channel.
Closing notes: As usual, the freebies mentioned here are sourced from the US iTunes Store and may not be available in iTunes Stores of other countries. Our featured article, How To: Create a US iTunes Store Account is available if you wish to know the steps required to setup a US iTunes Store account.
