Afrojack has a cool, yet weird new video out





One of the coolest and best music producers and DJs of today, Afrojack, has released a video for his latest Chris Brown-assisted single As Your Friend. The song itself is excellent. Sick beats and breaks mixed with Chris' vocals make it a definite floor-filler. When it comes to the video, I'm not sure I get it. Which is ok, cause most dance videos now don't make that much sense. If you're wondering what can you expect from the clip, expect eagles, fish, girls dancing, a fat Asian dude, lack of Chris Brown and a girl covered in golden paint. Oh, and let's not forget the girl with spiky eyebrows. A perfect blend of weirdness for today. The song already charted in US and the Netherlands, but not at such high positions. I hope with the release of the video, that will change.

Jedan od najboljih i najzanimljivijih producenata i DJeva danasnjice, Afrojack, je izdao spot za svoj najnoviji singl As Your Friend. Singl je uradjen u saradnji sa Chris Brown-om i pesma je sama po sebi sjajna. Ludi bitovi i brejkovi u miksu sa Chris-ovim vokalom ce definitivno ispuniti podijume u klubovima. Sto se tice samog spota, nisam siguran da razumem njegovu poentu, sto je ok jer vecina danasnjih spotova za dens pesme nema mnogo smisla. Ako vas zanima sta mozete ocekivati od klipa, ocekujte orla, ribe, seksi igracice, debelog azijata, nedostatak Chris-a i devojku prekrivenu zlatnom bojom. Naravno, ne treba zaboraviti i devojku sa siljcima umesto obrva. Savrsen miks cudnih stvari za jedan dan. Pesma je vec imala manjeg uspeha u Americi i Holandiji, pa se nadam da ce uspeh biti jos veci sada kada je i spot izasao.

Little mix make a colab with Missy Elliott on latest single


Girls from Little Mix are releasing their fourth single in a little more than a month. DNA's latest single is How Ya Doin' but it's not the album version, but the remix with Missy Elliott. I liked the song when I first heard it, I like it now, but I don't think Missy contributed much here. I am an absolute fan of Missy, and I am always happy when I hear a new song from her, but in my opinion this song could have done just fine without her. I sure hope Missy will release some good solo material soon, because I am a bit tired of seeing her only on remixes of other artist's songs.

Devojke iz grupe Little Mix izdaju svoj cetvrti singl kroz nesto vise od mesec dana. Najnoviji singl sa albuma DNA je How Ya Doin', ali nece biti izdata verzija sa albuma, vec remiks sa Missy Elliott. Meni se pesma dopadala u originalnom izdanju i dopada mi se i remiks, ali mislim da Missy-in doprinos ovde nije bio veliki. Ja sam njen fan i uvek me obraduje neka nova pesma od nje, ali mislim da je ova pesma mogla da prodje i bez nje. Iskreno se nadam da ce Missy uskoro izdati neki solo materijal, jer mi je vec dosadno da je samo cujem na remiksima pesama drugih izvodjaca.

Girls Aloud are no more





After a decade of hits, hot videos, and sold out arena tours, Girls Aloud, one of the biggest British girl groups, say goodbye to their fans. Rumors of the girls splitting have been there for a long time, and since the hiatus there were more and more of them. Now, after their biggest hits album, Ten, and another biggest hits tour, they officially stated: "We have now come to the end of our incredible time together." The message came from their official twitter, and after thanking the fans for sticking with them for so long, they announced the end of their career as a group. I do believe we will still hear more from Cheryl, Nadine, Nicola and the others, but now as solo artists. I was a big fan of the girls, and they did have some really good songs (some of my favorites can be seen at the end of the post), but I knew this day was coming, and while they will be missed, UK offers a lot of other amazing artists, so it's OK.

Nakon decenije ispunjene hitovima, seksi spotovima i rasprodatim turnejama, Girls Aloud, jedan od najvecih Britanskih girl-bendova je resio da je doslo vreme da se rastanu. Iako su glasine da ce se rastati tu vec godinama, sada je to i zvanicno. Prosle godine su izdale album sa najvecim hitovima, Ten, i sada kada su zavrsile i turneju, devojke su se oglasile preko svog twittera i rekle da je dosao kraj njihovom zajednickom putu. Devojke su se zahvalile fanovima na svoj podrsci i iako ih vise necemo slusati kao grupu, siguran sam da ce Cheryl, Nadine i ostatak grupe i dalje biti tu kao solo izvodjaci. Girls Aloud su definitivno bile odlicna grupa sa velikim hitovima (neke od mojih omiljenih mozete videti ispod), ali sam znao da ce se ovo kad tad desiti. Sva sreca te Velika Britanija ima toliko dobrih pevaca i grupa da se odsustvo devojaka nece toliko primetiti.

Beyonce wants you to bow down



She is back! Even though she never left. Beyonce released teasers for her two buzz singles Bow Down and I Been On. And after hearing them, I think it might have been better she took some time off. While Beyonce still has some of the most powerful vocals I've heard these songs are a step in the wrong direction if you ask me. Bow Down sounds more like a song for Nicki Minaj, while I Been On is... I don't know, just bad. If you listen to some of Beyonce's previous work, and then this, you will think: what happened to her?! And that's what I am thinking right now. The songs aren't disastrous, but I don't think it is what Beyonce needs to get back on top of the charts.

Vratila se! Iako je sve vreme bila tu. Beyonce je objavila tizere za dve pesme koje bi trebalo da oznace njen "povratak na scenu". U pitanju su Bow Down i I Been On. Nakon sto sam ih prvi put odslusao, mislim da bi Beyonce trebala da napravi pauzu. I to pravu pauzu, ne pauzu gde i dalje ima nastupe, dokumentarce i sta sve ne. Iako ima mocan vokal, ove pesme su korak u pogresnom pravcu. Bow Down zvuci kao pesma koja je za Nicki Minaj, dok je I Been On jednostavno losa. Ako se poslusaju pesme, odnosno, hitovi koje je Beyonce pre imala i ove nove pesme, covek se lako moze zapitati sta se desilo sa njom. I to je ono sto i mene zanima. Pesme nisu ocajne, ali nisu ni ono sto joj je potrebno da bi se vratila na vrhove top lista.

Iggy Azelea shows off her abs and lack of boobs in new video





Iggy Azalea released the video for her first official single Work. Work is a solid hip hop song with cool dance beats. Nothing special, yet something I wouldn't mind listening to. While many don't like Iggy's way of rapping, I find it pretty appealing and I think this song showed she's pretty good at it. When it comes to the video, there is just too much going on. Things on fire, a trailer park, girls twerkin and Iggy being a stripper is what you will see and while Iggy obviously works on her abs, she dresses in a not so flattering costume for her stripper scene. Two palm trees cover her nipples, but shows that Iggy is pretty flat chested. And while that's nothing bad, I think that scene was not needed in the video. All in all, I hope Iggy will have success with this single that is being released in the UK in two days.

Iggy Azalea je izdala video za svoj prvi zvanicni singl Work. Work je solidna hip hop pesma sa kul dens bitovima. Nista specijalno, ali opet se ne bih bunio kad bih cuo ovu pesmu na radiu. I iako mnogima smeta Iggy-in stil repovanja, meni je dopadljiv i mislim da je u ovoj pesmi pokazala da je dobra u repovanju. Sto se tice videa, dosta toga se dogadja. Zapaljene stvari, prikolice, devojke koje opasno mrdaju zadnjicama i Iggy kao striptizeta su stvari koje cete videti. I iako se vidi da Iggy radi na trbusnjacima, u sceni gde je striptizeta je pokazala jos nesto. Naime kostim koji je obukla ima dve palme koje joj prekrivaju bradavice, ali pokazuju koliko Iggy nije obdarena u tom podrucju. To naravno nije nista lose, ali mislim da je krajnje nepotreban deo u videu. U svakom slucaju, nadam se da ce Iggy imati uspeha sa ovim singlom koji prekosutra izlazi u Velikoj Britaniji.

RaNia remain not so provocative in latest video





One of the most underrated K-pop girl groups, RaNia, make a comeback with their latest single Just Go. After getting many international, and not so many Korean fans with their previous singles Dr. Feel Good, Pop Pop Pop and Style, the girls are ready to conquer not only Korean, but American charts as well. Just Go is typical RaNia. A dance song with good lyrics and great vocals. The video for the song was released a couple of days ago and it's nothing spectacular but the girls still bust some pretty slick choreography. They hope that this will be the single to get them more Korean fans and to establish them as a name on the American market. Fingers crossed they succeed.

Jedna od najpotcenjenijih K-pop grupa, RaNia, se vraca na scenu sa najnovijim singlom Just Go. Nakon sto su zadobile veliku internacionalnu i malo manju bazu Korejskih fanova sa prethodnim singlovima Dr. Feel Good, Pop Pop Pop i Style, devojke su spremne da pokore ne samo Korejske nego i Americke top liste. Just Go je tipicna RaNia pesma. Dens pesma sa dobrim tekstom i sjajnim vokalima. Video nije nista specijalno, ali devojke ponovo imaju odlicno uvezbanu koreografiju. One se nadaju da ce im ovaj singl pomoci da pridobiju veci broj Korejskih fanova i da se potom probiju na Americko trziste.
