We’ve been anxiously waiting for new music from Cody Simpson, and it’s finally here! Cody announced he was going independent last summer in order to make the music he’s wanted to make all along. We were curious to see just what he meant, especially since he’s made some of our favorite jams over the last couple of years (“Surfboard,” “Got Me Good,” etc) Cody just released his first track as an independent artist, “Flower.” It’s definitely a slight departure from some of his previous tracks, but it still has Cody’s signature laid back, beachy pop sound. Listen below and pickup a copy on iTunes now!
Make sure to tune into GMA this Friday, February 6th, to watch the first live performance of “Flower!” If you’re in NYC, you can see also Cody perform this weekend at the Forever 21 store opening. Details below!

It’s only the second day of May, but after a brutal winter in NYC we’ve been dreaming of summer for weeks! We can’t wait for outdoor concerts and trips to the beach, or in the event of Summer Jam and any shows at Nikon Jones Beach Theater – both! Here are the songs we are loving right now, our soundtrack to the Summer of 2014. All of these artists are on tour this summer, so check them out!
1. Dan + Shay – “Show You Off“
The country duo’s debut album is the perfect summer soundtrack. It makes us want to drive around with the windows down, sipping sweet tea with the wind blowing in our hair. “Show You Off,” Dan+Shay’s second single, is catchy and refreshing like a cool drink of water in the summer, better than the other side of the pillow. Check out all of their upcoming tour dates!
2. AJR – “I’m Ready“
We’ve had “I’m Ready” on repeat for months now, but AJR’s single is climbing the charts and is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the summer! Their debut album, which brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met wrote, produced and recorded in their living room, is expected to be released late Summer. You can catch them on tour at several radio festivals and opening for Lindsey Stirling this summer! Watch our interview with AJR here!
4. Cody Simpson – “Surfboard” There are some artists we always associate with summer, and Cody is one of them! We first saw him opening for Big Time Rush at Jones Beach on their 2012 tour. His laid back surfer vibe is perfect for his new single, “Surfboard.” He’ll be at Summer Jam and is heading out on a European tour shortly after. Stay tuned for the dates!
5. Hunter Hayes – “You Think You Know Somebody” We’re constantly impressed by the multi-talented Hunter Hayes. In case you’re still inclined to refer to him as “the country Justin Bieber,” just check out his guitar solos in this live performance of “You Think You Know Somebody!” He is by far one of our favorite acts to see live, and we could not be more excited for his new album, “Storyline,” out next week! If you have the opportunity to see him live, go! He takes every song to the next level. P.S. Hunter if you’re reading this, play a show in NYC – we love country, too!

One of our songs of the summer is guaranteed to be the catchy single, “Surfboard” by Cody Simpson. We love the retro intro that melts into the r&b chorus. The video is out just in time for summer and we can’t be more excited! Watch the official video below!
It’s a shame that Cody Simpson got sent home this week on DWTS! He was just too good for the competition. We were hoping for a final dance-off between former tour mates James Maslow & Cody Simpson!
We can’t wait to see Cody this summer at the BLI Summer Jam at Jones Beach! Tickets are on sale now!
1. Jackson Guthy – Pretty Lady
We were introduced to Jackson Guthy on the BTR Summer Break Tour last summer and after sitting through his set two times, we were totally into every single song by the third go around! His songs are infectious and catchy. Get to the 5SOS tour early because Jackson is definitely an opening act you’ll want to know. Grab a copy of Jackson’s new song “Young & Single” on iTunes now!
2. The Vamps – Girls On TV
At their first headlining show here in NYC, The Vamps played a few new songs from their debut album “Meet The Vamps” (out now in Ireland, the UK and most of Europe on Monday!). One of those was Girls On TV. It’s got a reggae feel, but still displays The Vamps acoustic driven sound. Pick up a copy of “Meet The Vamps” on iTunes UK now! Check out all of their signings around the UK this week HERE!
3. Cody Simpson – Surfboard One of our favorite stars on this seasons Dancing With The Stars, Cody Simpson, released his new single “SURFBOARD” to great reviews. It’s been on constant repeat in the fangirl office since it dropped. Pick up a copy of “SURFBOARD” on iTunes and don’t forget to watch and vote for Cody on DWTS every Monday.
4. Austin Mahone – MMMYeah
We can’t say enough awesome things about Austin Mahone but we’ll keep trying. The one man boyband recently celebrated his 18th birthday by announcing his debut album “The Secret” as well as announcing a headlining tour featuring The Vamps and Fifth Harmony. Tickets are on sale now and with every ticket order, you receive a digital copy of Austin’s album!
5. 5SOS – She Looks So Perfect
5 Seconds Of Summer kick off their North American headlining tour today and what better way to celebrate their EP debuting in the top spot on the Billboard Digital Albums Chart! Like Billboard, we totally dig their power pop punk sound and we can’t wait to see them in NYC. Pick up a copy of the US Edition of the “She Looks So Perfect EP” on iTunes and sing along all summer long!
Just hours after making his “Dancing With the Stars” debut, Australian pop-star Cody Simpson released his latest single, “Surfboard.”
