Today marks the release of some fantastic (and highly anticipated) new pop records, including new music by Mika, Sky Ferreira, ZZ Ward, K'Naan, Icona Pop and a brand-new single from Kelly Clarkson. While you're scouring iTunes this evening to grab all the new music, I suggest to check out Cherry Cherry Boom Boom's new single "One And Only" as well. You may remember that I premiered the song a few weeks ago when the singer/songwriter/label executive first unveiled the record.

Pop aficionados and frequent readers of this blog have been introduced to him before, but to the uninitiated, Cherry Cherry Boom Boom is the artist moniker of Martin Kierszenbaum. He's the founder and chairman of Cherrytree Records (Feist, Ellie Goulding, Keane, Michael Kiwanuka, LMFAO) and a gifted songwriter/producer who has helped mold the careers of countless chart-toppers including t.A.T.U, Lady Gaga and many others.

He explained previously he's releasing his own music (independently from Cherrytree Records and Interscope) to satisfy some of his creative urges. "I hadn't written a song for my voice in a while," Cherry Cherry Boom Boom told me earlier. "I'd mostly been writing for others (. . .) But, I love singing and I just felt like singing a couple of my favorite songs. So, I did. And, that led to deciding to write an original one."

The digital release of "One & Only" on iTunes comes along with a blazing remix from my fellow Hollander DJ R3hab. Adding some spice and sizzle, R3hab flips Cherry Cherry Boom Boom's enchanting tune up on its head and gives it a potent dancefloor punch. For example, the Dutchman includes a ferociously delicious breakdown following the chorus that adds a proper dose of disco drama to the song. Loving every second of this.
