This week saw the triumphant reunion of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley - better known as N.E.R.D. - for a great new track off of an unlikely soundtrack. The hip-hop group's newest song in four years is entitled "Squeeze Me," and will appear on the upcoming original motion picture soundtrack of the SpongeBob SquarePants movie. Though the song was composed for an animated film, we all know the psychedelic undertones of the Nickelodeon and this track is super trippy at times.

While we patiently await the final album from Death Grips after the electronic/hip-hop outfit announced it was breaking up in 2014, the group released a surprise instrumental album entitled Fashion Week a few days ago. This 14-track record possibly reveals the release date of Death Grip's last album, jenny death, as fans point out that the track list spells out "Jenny Death When." We expect the final album to be released during Fashion Week in 2015, but for now listen to this great instrumental record here!

This week, Passion Pit songwriter Michael Angelakos sampled a ton of Kate Bush in his new Eastern Shift demo track "Katie's Croon." Listen HERE! Speaking of samples, ASAP Rocky released a great new rap track entitled "Pretty Flacko II." Listen to this new song right here! Singer-Songwriter The-Dream dropped a hypnotic new number this week, too. Listen to "That's My Sh**" right here! Plus, check out what happens when Usher teams with Migos on the new track "Still Got It" right here!

Singer-songwriter Jens Lekman composed a perfectly simple piano number on the second day of 2015, marking the first track in a weekly "postcard" project. "Postcard #1" is a great start to the New Year, and an amazing introduction to this project that we're sure fans of Lekman are so excited about.

, a.k.a. Karen Marie Ørsted, dropped the perfect new track for the recent end of the year holiday, entitled "New Year's Eve." Mixing simple toy piano orchestration with a mix of electronica and pop vocals, we get a great new anthem for 2015.

RIYL: Sia, Imogen Heap, Grimes


POP ETC (formerly known as The Morning Benders) this week released a great new track entitled "Running In Circles." This indie-pop number is a welcome taste of the band's new direction in the new year.

RIYL: The Killers, Phoenix

We will, of course, end this week's mixtape with one of the biggest songs of both 2014 and 2015, since it was released on New Year's Eve last week. Kanye West and Paul McCartney joined forces on an auto-tuned, heartfelt ballad featuring the Wings frontman on keyboard and Kim Kardashian's husband on vocals. Getting past the fact that Wet isn't a singer, the song is a great coming together of the most influential musician alive today and the most creative. Listen to "Only One" right here!

We recommend this week's mixtape as a great track list to bring to the gym while you're trying to keep up with your resolutions. The final song is a great cool-down tune with plenty of moments throughout the rest of the mix to keep you motivated in 2015's gym time.
