Jonathan Lee - Make Up (On The Dancefloor)

First thing's first, this isn't the kind of stuff we'd normally post on The HotBox. That being said, we've got love for Canadian producer Jonathan Lee, plus it has to be said that his first venture into straight 'pop/commercial' music is, at the very least, damn hooky. With that in mind, presenting 'Make Up (On The Dancefloor)' Lee's first real foray into the world of electro pop. Yes it's cheesy and catchy as hell but it's exactly for those reasons that a track as well produced as this should and surely will have broad, mass appeal if given the exposure. Frankly it's a wonder that Lee's new material isn't all over the radio. It may not be exactly our style, but we but you'd much rather listen to Jonathan Lee than another David Guetta production, so spread the word.

Preview below to make your own minds up, fans can grab the track here for FREE, as well as Lee's Hip-pop effort 'Rocket' which is available for FREE here

Album: Rick Ross X Bruce Springsteen - Boss vs Boss (Jonathan Lee Mash-Up)

 I've always had a certain respect for Bruce Springsteen, and yet I wouldn't consider myself a fan....the same can be said for the industry's other 'Boss', Rick Ross.
It's hard to say where mash-up producer Jonathan Lee's got the inspiration for this blend of bosses, and I can't even say whether I'm 100% confident whether it works or not. 'Born To Run' and 'Secret Garden' seem to work effortlessly, an eclectic blend of two great but far removed artists. Yet tracks like 'Blood Brothers' and 'Streets of Philadelphia' vary from moments of harmony to sounding like clashing records from separate speakers.
Regardless, even if only for it's sheer audacity this Mash-Up album is worth a listen. Some die-hard fans are bound to get upset, however the concept will bring a smirk to the mouth of most and maybe even a genuine intrigue and love for this unusual combination....just like whiskey and mint, it shouldn't work, but it does...and this album is arguably one hell of a julep.
Besides, it's a FREE release....so what have you got to lose, preview below and d/l here
