Their brand new single, \u201cRed Flag\u201d, written by Zach Adam, JC Cassis and Rony G, strikes back against growing anti-gay sentiment in the world. It is a sharp departure from cotton candy but incredibly catchy songs like \u201cQueen\u201d and \u201cHologram\u201d. \u201cRed Flag\u201d is a call-to-action, meant to inspire fans to stand up to people like Russian President Vladimir Putin.\u00a0 , with its high-energy vocals, danceable beats, and powerful synth rhythms, \u201cRed Flag\u201d remains true to the XELLE party sound.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cSo Close To Me\u201d<br \/>\nKristine W<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kristine W continues to prove herself one of the best and most important dance vocalists of the past two decades.\u00a0 With its racing bass line and euphoric vocals, \u201cSo Close to Me\u201d is an absolute must for dance fans. Several amazing remixes are available, most notably by powerhouse producers Todd Terry, Oscar G, Tony Moran, Cosmic Dawn, Andi Durrant, Steve More and Joe Gauthreaux.\u00a0 However, this song carries an important message too.<i>\u00a0 <\/i>It\u2019s a reminder that\u00a0no matter how many electronic gadgets are invented, there is no stronger connection than real human contact.\u00a0 All people can relate to that.\u00a0 It\u2019s time the rest of the world was clued in to the magic of Miss W.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cNo Selfie Control\u201d<br \/>\nCazwell<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The fourth single from Cazwell\u2019s soon-to-be-released <i>Hard 2 B Fresh <\/i>album is his first disco-inspired track since \u201cAll Over Your Face\u201d.\u00a0 <b>\u201c<\/b>No Selfie Control\u201d is a brilliant collaboration with up-and-coming Viennese producer Dizzy Bell where Cazwell actually sings. The song has some hilariously catchy lyrics set against a minimalist retro-funk track and smooth playa beat. \u00a0One of the best lyrics is \u201cIf you could see me like I do, you\u2019d be in love with me too.\u201d Though meant to be funny, it&#8217;s an accurate reflection of a generation that has become obsessed with attracting the spotlight.\u00a0 Cazwell explains the song best, describing it as \u201ca heartfelt track that was written for everyone on Instagram that is in love&#8230;with themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cNobody Said\u201d<br \/>\nAiden Leslie<\/b><br \/>\n\u201cNobody Said\u201d<i> <\/i>continues Aiden Leslie\u2019s journey in search of life\u2019s ideal.
