Yeah, the title screams?Friday, but the song is so perfect for Sunday Funday, how can you resist… Nikki Williams, the singer of “Glowing” and “Kill Fuck Marry,” does a 180-degree turn and embraces the talk/sing vibe of Karmin and Nicki Minaj for “Thank God Its?Friday.” With the ravenous jump-up tempo (based on a Toni Basil “Mickey” sample), the song has an old school rocking vibe complete with Betty Boop (Boop Boop be Doop),? wolf whistles, and a singalong chorus.? The results are infectious as after the first listen you can’t get it out of your head.? When comparing TGIF to her previous songs, it just doesn’t fit, at least until you consider Nikki’s personality.? She has her serious and dark emotional side, but is at heart a fun and goofy gal who likes to have a good time.? That’s exactly what makes this such a perfect song for?Sunday?Funday.

SONG OF THE DAY: Markus Schulz – “Remember This”
With the weather starting to turn cold and the summer festival season officially ended, the timing seems right for some tracks to “Remember” the good times with. Earlier this week, we wrote up the big track from Thomas Gold which captured the energy of Carnival, “Remember,” and today it’s Markus Schulz’s new track “Remember This.” The perfect bridge between his recent mixed compilation “Buenos Aires 13” and his forthcoming ‘Scream 2’ artist album, the track combines trance tones and progressive beats for a feel that is both uplifting and somber at the same time. You can hear a bit of the classic ’90s trance sound in the chords, yet it’s totally modern in the execution. Let’s hope the artist album adds a vocal on top, it sounds like the perfect track for Seri to sing on – like a sequel to “Love Rain Down.” The video captures a night of Markus spinning in Miami, played in reverse. Now that’s a good way to “Remember” a massive night of clubbing.
