Meet Neon Hitch. Her real name is well, Neon Hitch. Her unique title from birth matches her upbringing, which as I’ve gathered, involved traveling the world by bus as a street performer, and trapeze artist. Have I got your attention? Then, there’s her music. Read the full story

Time flies when you’re getting famous, not speaking from experience or anything but I’m sure Mike Posner can relate. It’s only been some months since he finished school at Duke University and began his full-fledged pursuit of a music career. First signing a deal with J Records then releasing his single Cooler than me (covered by trendland back in February of 2010) which has been rocking the radio and charts for months now refusing lose momentum still getting a crazy number of spins on virtually every popular radio station around. And now, without further ado yet another golden single, “Please Don’t Go”, off his upcoming album 31 Minutes to Take Off (31 minutes that have already expired) which dropped on July 20^th, and is taking the pop world by storm once again.

There is something about Posner and his musical competence that plain and simply appeals. Its could be one of the many weapons he has in his artillery, like his crazy production talent and ear for what sounds good, or an amazing ability to write songs that penetrate the listener with what seems like ease, or maybe it’s his own unique voice to top it all off. I almost forgot to mention, it doesn’t hurt to have one of the hottest most innovative names in music/production at the moment, Benny Blanco, as a co-producer. Regardless, Mike does what we have all come to know he is capable of doing with this one and brings something fresh and different from what we have heard before to the table.  I look forward to hearing the rest of his album, expected to drop in august and is currently available for pre-order on itunes.  For now, turn up the volume, open your ears and don’t hate on this pop gem!

Although Mike Posner was previously featured by Cyanatrendland last september I could not help but to share this track. The 22-year-old Duke University senior is quite the talent, not only producing his own music but singing and songwriting too. Cooler Than Me featuring hip hop artist Big Sean, despite it’s 2009 release on Mike’s album Mike Posner & the Brain Trust has still not yet penetrated the popular market. The song is about all of those girls out there who think they are better than everyone and never stop to give a guy the time of day to shine. Mike’s skills definitely shine and I expect for this talent to blow up in the very near future.

Mike Posner and The Brain Trust’s A Matter of Time is some of the best new music I have heard in a long time. It is contemporary funk accomplished by mixing the best of hip hop, R&B, and pop. Michigan based Mike Posner is something of a producing prodegy, at only 20 years old he was able to produce a brilliant range of unforgettable beats on this mixtape. Get tuned in quickly if you have not already downloaded the entire mix.
