Kat Graham keeps releasing amazing music


The Vampire Diaries' beauty has been so underrated for so long. Her songs are much better than what tops most charts, but still her singing career hasn't taken off. Will that change with the new single?

Stop everything, MKS' first single is here


After what seems to be a very long time of teasing, Mutya Keisha Siobhan (a.k.a. the original Sugababes) have released their first single since coming back together and the song is awesome.

Jay Z and Beyonce join forces again


More than ten years after the famous Bonnie & Clyde track, Jay Z and Beyonce have made a follow-up song. And it's pretty good.

Ellie Goulding is on fire


After Lights and Anything Could Happen, Ellie Goulding's new smash hit is here.

JT's Tunnel Vision is a treat for eyes


Justin keeps surprising me in this era in more than one ways. Interesting song choices, lyrics, and now a video that will have your eyes glued to the screen (well, if you're a guy at least).

Annie returns with a classic pop song


The Norwegian singer-songwriter Annie has been pretty quiet for the past few years. But that all changes with the release of  new EP and a new single.

Tinie Tempah's Trampoline is made for jumping


After releasing a whooping eight singles from his debut album, Tinie Tempah has been working hard on the follow up to the successful album. And yesterday we got a first taste of the album with the lyric video for Trampoline being released.

I want Snoop Dogg back


Snoop Lion (formerly known as Snoop Dogg) released a video for his Rita Ora collaboration Torn Apart. And while I was a fan of Snoop before, I am really starting to dislike this Lion era. Snoop was good at making cool, slick hip hop songs, so why did he switch to reggae? I expected this Rita Ora song to be blazzin, but it's a song that I will definitely pass. The song is boring, dull and maybe, just maybe some crazy remix could make it better. The only good thing might be the video that is pretty fun. Rita and Snoop are seen on a beach, hanging out with elephants and just having a good time. But still, the video is nowhere near enough to make me like the song. I hope Snoop will stop it with this type of music, and return to what he did best.

Loreen's first ever single finally gets a video


The Swedish pop princess has a new video out. After not having much success with her latest single, We Got The Power, it looks like Loreen decided to try and give a push to one of her older singles, My Heart Is Refusing Me. The song was actually her first ever single, but the version we get to hear in the video is updated, more danceable and in my opinion better. The premise of the video is nothing spectacular and it revolves around an Asian kid who wanders the streets and woods and ends up at a party. Of course, there are some shots of Loreen doing her signature dancing on the floor and wearing some crazy gowns. All in all, I watched the video only because of the song, because it's definitely one of the best songs she made.

M.I.A. keeps teasing us with new songs


Just a week after releasing a video for her single Bring The Noize, M.I.A. has decided to give us another taste of her upcoming album Matangi. Only 1 U is kind of a strange song with drums and some dance elements and after hearing it, only the ding-ding part stayed in my head. It reminds me of some of M.I.A.'s previous material, but with a new spin. I absolutely prefer Bring The Noize to this, but still this song appeals to me in some weird way. Maybe it will take me a few more spins to release why. In the mean time, enjoy in the song below.

Krewella's Live For The Night is a banger


The dubstep trio, Krewella, do it again. After having lots of success in U.S. with their single Alive, the guys prepared an equally amazing follow-up single. Live For The Night has the right amount of dance and dubstep elements to make this song something you must hear. It's a club banger, a summer party song, it's perfect. Just listening to the track, my energy goes up by 100% and I just want to jump all night long. I see a bright future for Krewella if they keep releasing material like this.

Pink and Lily Allen remind us what true love is about


Pink's forth The Truth About Love single just got a video for it. True Love features Lily Allen and is one of the few songs I actually like from Pink's latest album. Now, the fact that the song is cool is old news, and we're here to see the video. The video has Pink's husband Carey Hart and their daughter in it. Pink admitted the video was made pretty quickly since she's busy with her tour. When Lily's part comes up, she is seen cutting vegetable and putting them in a blender. The video is pretty colorful and fun and I think that it's the perfect fit for the song. Now all that is left to see is if the song can match the success of Pink's previous singles.

Azealia's new single features Pharrell and it's damn good


Even though Yung Rapunxel got good reviews and was well received by fans of Ms. Banks, the single didn't really have any chart success. Now I really think that could change with the second single ATM Jam. The hypnotic beat, Pharrell's addition to the song, and Azealia's flawless rapping are what makes this song stand out. It's the kind of song that sticks in your head after you first hear it. I am not sure if the version of the song I found is the full version, but it definitely gives you enough to be happy about. And now, get lost in the ATM jam!

Fantasia, Kelly and Missy make a slick video


I haven't noticed this American Idol winner for a pretty long time. Don't know why, but I just heard of her recently. She sparked my interest after having another successful album even though she won Idol 9 years ago. Her first single from the latest album was ok, and that's just about it. But Without Me is a different story. For starters it features the amazing Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott. The song has such a cool beat, a beat that reminds me of good old R&B songs. Fantasia's voice goes perfectly with the beat, and so does Kelly's. Of course, Missy's verse just completes the whole song and puts a bow on it. The video shows Fantasia as some sort of an executive surrounded by guys who are in their places only because of Fantasia. Kelly can be seen filling out a familiar silhouette of one of the most famous truck stickers. The whole video is visually good and goes nicely with the song. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and see what other cool songs Fantasia has to offer.

Ciara and Nicki are hot as hell in I'm Out video


My computer screen almost caught fire after watching I'm Out video. I mean, I know CiCi is hot, and Nicki can be pretty hot too, but this is a new level of hotness. First up, we have Nicki dressed up all in white with a cool new haircut and she hasn't looked this fine in a long time. Then we get to Ciara who dances throughout the video and just looks amazing. She is also first all dressed up in white (the first part actually reminds me of the Scream video) then she's in a white top and mini skirt, and she changes a few more sets until we get to the final one where she's singing under sprinklers. In every scene she looks more and more gorgeous and the whole video is visually spectacular. Also, CiCi busts some impressive dance moves. I even like the song more after watching this. Damn, I can't remember the last time I liked a video this much.

Clinton Sparks has another cool collaboration


Clinton Sparks is a famous DJ, producer and in his spare time a singer. He has worked with Lady Gaga, Akon and Pitbull, and a few days ago, he released another one of his own songs. Gold Rush comes from Clinton's album Disco Ball & Chain and features Mackelmore and 2 Chainz. The song is a dance, pop and R&B number that is well written and produced. I like it, but I am not sure if I like it because of Clinton, or because of the other guys who are in the song. To me Clinton is some sort of Pitbull or Flo Rida, someone who can't release an interesting solo single without having some other artist on it. The first song I heard from him and liked was done in collaboration with JoJo and LMFAO. And now we have this. I would like to see him release a real solo single and see if it will make any hype.

Franz Ferdinand back from the dead


No, I am not talking about the historical figure, but about the Scottish rock band. After being absent for almost four years, Franz Ferdinand return with new material and a new album. Posted on their YouTube account, we can find two new songs, Love Illumination and Right Action. Both songs have dance and indie-rock elements, and both are quite enjoyable. I don't think it's as good as some of their previous material, but it is good. Right Action will be the lead single from their fourth album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (slated to be released on August 26.). I might prefer Love Illumination just a bit more, because it's more melodic and dance, but we'll see if they made the right choice with Right Action.

Robin Thicke gives us a treat


With Blurred Lines conquering the charts worldwide, Robin Thicke is a guy everybody's talking about lately. I am still not a huge fan of the song, but I can't say it's bad. I did want to hear the rest of the album before I give my judgment on this era, and after hearing the Kendrick Lamar duet, I gotta say I am starting to like Robin's new sound. Give It 2 U has been made available for the world to enjoy in through Myspace (they are still trying to make Myspace happen?) and the song is amazing. It's an electro, R&B jam that is perfect for clubs, and very radio friendly. Robin's vocals are on spot and Kendrick is a nice addition to the song. Also the lyrics are dirty enough to make it enjoyable and not too explicit. As far as I know, this is still not a single, but I definitely think it should be because the track is fire!


Amelle Berrabah is ready to go solo


While we wait for some new music from Mutya Keisha Siobhan (a.k.a. the original Sugababes) or something new from the current line-up of Sugababes, Amelle, who joined the group in 2006 decided to treat her fans with a new song. While she remains the only member of the group who has had a solo no.1 single (to be fair, she was featured on Tinchy Stryder's song, but still), Amelle thinks it's time for her to try and conquer the charts on her own. With still no words on the possible lead single, we can enjoy in a track by Adam J. and Nightcrawlers, on which Amelle is featured. Love Is All We Need is far from a spectacular single, the vocals aren't that strong, but the dubstep-y break is what made me like the song. Yes, it's little to go on, but it makes the rest of the song decent, and all in all enjoyable. The lyric video was released almost a week ago, and has only 5000 views on YouTube, but I don't think anyone even thought the song will have some chart success. I see this as some sort of promotion for Amelle, just to tell everyone she is here, and she is ready to go solo (until the Sugababes decide to make a comeback anyway). Enjoy in the song below.

Janelle Monae's new song is apocalyptic


I've known about Janelle Monae for some time now, but I never had any interest in hearing her songs. I don't know why, but she just seemed like the type of artist I wouldn't be interested in. And then my interest started showing after I accidentally heard her duet with Erykah Badu. It was a nice song, but still nothing spectacular. But after hearing her latest song (single?) I think I will definitely look out for more new music coming from this girl. Dance Apocalyptic is a song coming from Janelle's third studio album The Electric Lady. The song is a funky dance-pop tune, and it's a great one for sunny days at the beach. It's one of those songs that make you move and just shake it on the dance floor. It's pure fun and it's a song that doesn't need a remix to make it perfect for a club.


Duck Sauce release yet another tacky video


The guys most famous for releasing Barbra Streisand are back with a new single, and a new video. It's You is the fourth single by Duck Sauce (consisting of Armand Van Helden and A-Trak) and just like their previous single, this one's got an incredibly crazy video. The whole clip is located in a hair salon and while some cleaning guy serves as a singer who sings while brushing and sweeping the floors, all of the haircuts in their seem to follow the beat of the song. It's not as crazy as their previous video where guys had another head between their legs, but still you know it's crazy when a disco ball comes out of a guy's afro. When it comes to the song, it's nothing spectacular, yet it ain't bad either. It is a potential club banger.

Angel Haze samples The Weeknd on new track


I have heard a couple of Angel Haze tracks before, but I never really liked any of them. I never really understood the hype that was surrounding her, and most of the news I heard of her were regarding the feuds she had with other female artists. But now, I can officially start liking her. A track titled Initiation has hit the web, and it is really good. The song samples the beat from the song of the same name performed by The Weeknd, but if I'm not mistaken the lyrics are different. Angel's voice is pretty good, the beat and drums are sick, and the rapping is solid. The song is kinda hypnotizing which is definitely not a bad thing and it's been on repeat on my iTunes all day today. I of course heard the original song, and I like Angel's version better. Now, I hope we can expect more music like this from Angel, since this is the kind of stuff that makes you stand out.

The Alias makes another great remix of a Saturdays song

 

The Saturdays' song Gentleman is good, but for me it never was great. Well, that all changed last night when the official Alias remix of the song was released. I mean this guy is just amazing. First he made one of the coolest Sats song Move On U (which was a bonus track on their On Your Radar album) and then he made Wildfire (which serves as a B-Side for Gentleman), and now this! The remix really makes the song stand out, it gives the song life, it makes you wanna jump up and down all night 'till you can't jump no more. The Saturdays are known to have better B-Sides and remixes than the official songs, but this time it's too much. I am sure this remix will be a club hit and I hope that it will make people love Gentleman even more.

Natalia Kills causes problems in new video


Just when I forgot about the genius song Problem, performed by Natalia Kills, the girl releases a smashing video to remind us all of the awesomeness of the song. I already commented on the song, so now let's focus on the video. The premise is pretty simple, Natalia does lots of crazy s*it until the police get her. She touches herself in a phone booth, walks around in sexy lingerie and a fur coat and finally she smashes some car's windows. Of course, she also gets to advertise Beats while hooking up with some guy in a motel room. The video goes with the song, and I think Natalia never looked better. She really showed off her amazing body in this clip.

M.I.A.'s Bring The Noize video is here


The latest single from M.I.A.'s fourth studio album just got released. The song is Bring The Noize and it's 100% M.I.A. She is rapping, singing, and looking gorgeous in the new video. It's amazing how cool this chick looks with a pink wig. First let's comment on the song. When I heard it a couple of days ago, I wasn't really feeling it, but now that the video is here, I absolutely love it. The song is an electronic goodness with a break that makes you shake your ass like crazy. It's a great successor to Bad Girls. The video is full of craziness just like the song. M.I.A. rocks some crazy hairstyles and is surrounded by people who are completely in white. At the end, the whole video turns golden. It fits the song and now I am even more excited to hear the whole album.

Snoop Lion becomes Snoop Dogg again for a short time


Just when we remembered Snoop Dogg is now Snoop Lion, Snoop has decided to go back to being Dogg just to release a song for the soundtrack of an animated movie Turbo. Let The Bass Go is a typical dance song with, yes you guessed it, lots of bass, and some kid-appropriate lyrics. It's not bad, but it is definitely not Snoop's best work. I would love it if he could get back to days when he made great songs like Signs or Drop It Like It's Hot. Time will tell if my prayers will be answered.

Pharrell keeps making great music


After contributing to Daft Pank's biggest hit ever, Pharrell has made a song for Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. The song is titled Happy, and there is no better way to describe how the song makes you feel while you listen to it. It is such a positive, feel-good song, it's unbelievable. The smooth drums, sound of clapping hands, and cheerful lyrics make you feel like a little kid. And since the song is for a kid movie, that makes sense. Enjoy in the latest masterpiece by Mr. Williams below.

Cher Lloyd and Ne-Yo's first collab is so good


The UK sweetheart Cher Lloyd has made a song with Ne-Yo. The title is It's All Good, and it really is. The song is made to promote Fruttare fruit bars, and while I don't see the connection between this song and the fruit bars, I am glad the song was made. Some of the lyrics of the song have been submitted by fans of these two singers, and I have to say that I love the lyrics. Some parts might be a bit cliche, but I like it. Ne-Yo's and Cher's voice go together unexpectedly good and this song is definitely a feel good anthem of the summer. I would buy Fruttare's fruit bar just to thank them for being responsible for this song!

Miley Cyrus twerks in new video


Yes, she is twerking! And that's not the worst of it. She also tries to look gangsta and sexy and fun and she fails miserably in all of those categories. What the hell happened to this girl? She used to be, okay-ish, but ever since she became Maxim's hottest chick, she has been trying too hard. I wasn't a fan of Miley's before, and I definitely won't start being her fan now. We Can't Stop video is just a mess. I didn't like the song, I don't like the video, Miley, please just go away. And it's not necessary that you come back. Ever.

Nelly gets an all-star crew for new single


I've never really been a big fan of Nelly. He had some OK songs, but most of them are just not my taste. But when you get Pharrell and Nicki Minaj on your single, you know everybody's gonna love it. Yup, Nelly has both of these mega-popular artists on his single Get Like Me. The song is a nice R&B jam with Pharell's relaxing vocals and Nicki's cool rapping verse. Even Nelly's part is appealing to me. The song is hot and it's for a summer party on some beach. If Nelly continues to release songs like this, I might even become a fan.

Lethal Bizzle knows how to party


With summer officially beginning in just one day, artists are linning up to release summer party anthems. And Lethal Bizzle is the latest addition to that line. He has joined forces with Ruby Goe (whoever that is) and released Party Right. The song is an amazing summer gem, but in Bizzle's style. There's rapping, Ruby's parts are pop-ish, and the dance breaks are wicked. It's a perfect mix for this summer parties. Gotta say this guy just keeps surprising me with good songs, but I see him not having much success in the UK. Will this song change that?

Are GRL the new PCD?


Lauren Bennett, Paula Van Oppen, Simone Battle, Emmalyn Estrada and Natasha Slayton are all names we have previously heard were supposed to be the new Pussycat Dolls. But now according to Robin Antin, there is a possibility the original Dolls will make a re-union, so the Pussycat Dolls name is reserved for them. So what did Robin decide to do with these girls? Make a new girl group of course! Judging by the first single and some promo photos, the group is supposed to look fun and crazy and not slutty which is not bad. But the bad thing is that their single Vacation is not that good as well. It's a fun catchy song, but it's definitely not a hit you need when launching a new group. But, there are other ways these girls are getting promoted. When you buy Britney's new single Ooh La La, you get Vacation for free. Yup, the girls are trying to make a name for themselves through Britney. A smart move? We'll see. I just hope the next single is better since they are supposedly working with Dr. Luke and Larry Rudolph.

Come with Ricky Martin and enjoy his latest single


Ricky Martin is currently one of the coaches on the Australian version of The Voice and he is actually trying to take advantage of the spotlight he is under right now. Smart move. He decided now is the perfect time for a comeback single. And that single has been released a couple of days ago. Come With Me is a club banger, a solid dance song, something you might expect from Ricky, but it's still a bit unexpected. It's definitely one of his best songs I have heard in a long time. I am sure it is not the hit that will again have the entire world shaking their bums to a Ricky Martin song, but it's good enough to be a hit in Australia and maybe in Europe. Anyway, I think Ricky is heading in the right direction with this song.

Fifth Harmony's debut single is a miss


We still remember well the girls who came up third in the US X Factor. They were all pretty, had nice voices, nice harmony, and good song choices. So, when I heard they released their debut single, I was really eager to hear it. I wasn't thrilled after I heard Miss Movin' On for the first time. And the feeling stayed the same after a few spins. I think these girls are talented and they could really be a successful group, but with songs like this, I don't think they can reach a high level of fame. I mean, c'mon, Simon Cowell was these girls' mentor, you'd think their debut single would be fire, but it's really not. Take a listen below, and see it for yourself.

The Saturdays remain queens of B-Sides


Today, the Sats have released the B-Side for their latest single Gentleman. The B-Side is titled Wildfire and the song is classic Saturdays. It's the sweet dance-pop we are used to hear from the girls. Fun lyrics, beautiful voices, rhythm that makes you wanna dance, it's all there. The only thing missing, in my opinion, is more Frankie. Yes, I know she is not the best singer in the group, but she is still a part of the group. I don't say she should get equal parts of the song with Vanessa and Una who have amazing voices, but it would be nice to give her more than two lines. Just sayin'. Other than that, the song is brilliant, and it will be available only to those who pre-orded the single. So hurry up if you want to enjoy in Wildfire.

Lonely Island make a crazy colab with Robyn


Just when I think the guys from Lonely Island can't make a crazier song, they do. Their latest effort is done in collaboration with Robyn, and is titled Go Kindergarten. After the first listen I thought the song was idiotic, but after a few spins, I started liking the beat and also started to understand the lyrics. At least, I think I understand them. In my opinion the song is about how much we listen to media. In the video, the guys command the people in the club to do lots of crazy stuff, the crowd does everything like they are hypnotized (Sean Combs and Paul Rudd appear as part of the party crowd in the video). And Robyn just adds more commands. I think the title go kindergarten just means go crazy, act like little kids and completely lose it. It's definitely a fun song that can fill the dance floor. The video is cool, the song is completely crazy, so I expect this to be a hit.

Serebro misspell their latest single



The Russian trio is at it again. After releasing Malo Tebya in Russia and reaching the top 10 once again, the girls from Serebro have decided to release a new song in English. Once again, the video is extremely hot, and the lyrics don't have much meaning. Also, this time, the title of the song is misspelled (intentionally of course) and it's Mi Mi Mi (instead of Me Me Me). Mi Mi Mi is a fun dance song, a perfect one for the summer. The girls make a visualization of how you could have a good time while listening to this song by jumping in pools, sitting on chairs in the beach, and throwing money around like some crazy pimps. They do all of this while wearing a bikini and a fur hat. The song and the video have already been heavily criticized, but so was Mama Lover, and that turned out to be their biggest worldwide hit. Can they do that again?

Kelly Rowland shines on Street Life


So it looks like Talk a Good Game won't be good, it will be amazing. The latest song to leak online is Street Life which is done in collaboration with Pusha T. The song reminds me of some good, old R&B, but still it sound current. There are slow groovy parts, but also some fast-paced parts. I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics, but I guess the title of the song pretty much describes what can you expect from the lyrics. Anyway, just two more days until the album will be released in its entirety. Can't wait!

Karmin do it acapella


The Boston duo is back with a new song. Amy and Nick a.k.a. Karmin have released the audio for their latest single (probably the first one from their debut album) Acapella. The funky number has a thumping bass line and Amy's rapping is about finding a perfect guy and then finding out he isn't so great after all. I am a fan of these guys, and I think this song is a step in the right direction. I don't really see the song topping charts, but rather getting into top 10's. But that ain't bad. I mean, their biggest hit, Brokenhearted, only got to top 20 in the Billboard charts. Oh, and the cover of the single suggests that Amy has dyed her hair blonde and shortened it a bit. She was hot before, but now she looks really sexy.

Ciara's Super Turnt Up hits the web


It really looks like Ciara's new album will be out of this world good. I have been CiCi's fan for long time, and I love her previous albums, but all of the songs I have heard from the latest album sound like we're in for a real treat. First came the seductive Body Party, then the fun and energetic I'm Out, and now Super Turnt Up. I don't think this will be a single (for now), but I'm sure glad the song leaked online since it proves to everyone how much Cici has put into this album. I will be majorly disappointed if her self-titled album doesn't top the Billboard 200 chart, or at least debuts in the top three. I mean, if anyone deserves it, it's this girl. Now back to the track. It's an R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop delight that will have you singing along after just a few spins. I definitely see potential in this song and I absolutely love it. It's a jam that can (and I hope will) be on the radio on repeat. Listen to the latest cut from the album below and pray to God that July 9. comes faster.

Havana Brown's new video is full of love


My favorite female DJ has a new video out. The sexy and talented Havana Brown has released a video for Spread A Little Love. The song comes from her EP When The Lights Go Out and at first I actually wasn't a fan of the song. But after a few spins, it grew on me, and now I am happy she decided to film a video for it and release it as a single. The video revolves around a little girl who is collecting all sorts of stuff (mostly garbage). Then we see a sick boy in hospital and discover she is trying to make a heart-shaped figure in front of the hospital for the little boy to see. It definitely goes with the lyrics "if we spread a little love, we'll never die". In the meantime, Havana can be seen in a red dress in a flower field. Cute video for a cute song. I definitely see a potential hit here.


Beyonce's Rise Up is finally here in HQ


Beyonce's song from the animated movie Epic, Rise Up has leaked online quite some time ago. But, I refused to listen to the song until it was released in HQ. And now that the moment is here, I have to say I am a bit sorry I didn't listen to the song before because it is quite beautiful. I'm not sure what I expected from the song, but I am absolutely mesmerized by it. It's powerful chorus, inspiring lyrics and Beyonce's amazing vocals are what make this song worth listening to over and over again. Don't know why, but the song even made me want to watch the movie. If the movie is as good as the song, I am sure it's worth watching.

Helena Paparizou sends out an SOS


Helena Paparizou, the Greek superstar and Eurovision 2005 winner, has released her latest album two days ago (you can listen to it here). Alongside the album, Helena has released the third single from the album (first single in English), Save Me (This is an SOS). The song is a mid-tempo dance number, something Helena is known for and good at. As a fan, I have listened to some of the other songs from the album, and I gotta say the album sounds good. Not amazing, but good. I love Helena's voice, and it's always a pleasure to hear it, but I am not such a fan of her songs that aren't in English and much more than that songs that aren't dance songs.

Selena Gomez's Slow Down is a fact-paced delight


After having huge success in US and Canada with Come & Get It, Selena Gomez has released her second single from the album Stars Dance. Slow Down is a dancy song with cool beats and some dubstep breaks. It was produced by The Cataracts and since I am a fan of most of their work, I am a fan of this song as well. Even though I am not a fan of Selena, I gotta give credit where credit is due. I am not sure how the audience will react to the song and if the song is gonna be a hit, but I can definitely see the song conquering dance charts. It is a nice, up-beat summer song so why not enjoy in it? Also, Selena has released the official artwork (seen above) and track list for her first solo album. Since she says she was influenced by Britney and Skrillex, I expect an interesting album.

Tarja Turunen's still got it


The ex-Nightwish vocalist, Tarja Turunen, is preparing a new album titled Colours In The Dark. And in order to make everyone aware of that, she has released a lyric video for Never Enough. Now, Tarja's fans will know that this song was featured on her live album, but that doesn't mean it's a bad choice for reminding everyone of Tarja's powerful voice and incredible songs. I have to admit I just heard the song a couple of days ago, and while it sounds a bit different from some of Tarja's previous work, it is still pretty damn good. The song might be more soft in my opinion, but that doesn't make it bad. The vocals are still one of the best female metal vocals I have ever heard and that's all that counts for me. The first single from the album, Victim of Ritual, will be released on July 12., so be prepared.

Ke$ha goes crazy in Crazy Kids video


The third Warrior single now has a video for it. Crazy Kids video was released three days ago and it already has millions of views. While I am not a huge fan of the song, I have to say after watching the video a couple of times, it got into my ear. Since the song has three versions (with will.i.am, Pitbull and Juicy J) I think choosing the will.i.am one to get the video is not the smartest move. Since he has more misses than hits, I think the wiser decision would be the Pitbull version. As for the video, it's classic Ke$ha in my opinion. Crazy, a bit unexpected, but still her style. At the beginning of video, Ke$ha looks kinda trashy with braids and trashy outfit, but after will.i.am passes in an astronaut suit, she puts on a dress and looks kinda glamorous. Of course the glamor disappears after she is surrounded by old bearded guys in underwear, but hey she tried. I think the video might help the song to get up in the charts, but don't expect a miracle since the whole Warrior era has been bad.

Katy B returns in a car filled video


One of the sexiest gingers in the world, Katy B, is preparing her second studio album, and today we got the video for the first single from that album. What Love is Made Of is a solid dance track, and while it is good, in my opinion it's not as good as some of the material from her previous album. Katy On a Mission, Lights On and Witches Brew were all amazing singles, and this one is just good. Of course I am happy as long it's not a bad single, but knowing Katy's potential, I expected more. When it comes to the video, Katy looks sexy as always and the whole video revolves around cars, and street car races. So I'm not sure what's the point of the video, but just seeing Katy is good enough. Now we are left waiting for the rest of the album, hoping it will be as good as her debut album.

Kylie Minogue is still here (and thank God for it)


One of pop's biggest names definitely has to be Kylie Minogue. She has been in the business for more than 25 years and she still manages to make great and popular music. I love her songs and I think Kylie is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Her new single is titled Skirt and sees Kylie exploring dubstep a bit. It's a mid-tempo dance song with spicy lyrics and since it's Kylie I am sure expecting some sexy video to go along with this song. It is still not confirmed if this is a promo single or a real single, but either way it's good to hear something new from Kylie. I just hope this means we can also expect a new album soon.


Kelly Clarkson shines in new video


The girl with one of the most amazing voices ever, Kelly Clarkson, has a new video out. People Like Us video shows Kelly looking more gorgeous than ever. The video is set in a black and white world where scientists study a girl who is in color.  One of the scientists is of course Kelly. After the girl is put through x-ray, Kelly reveals herself to the girl as also being in color (or different). Together, the two escape the facility where the girl was kept and after some car chasing they end up in the world that is completely in color. The concept of the video is cool and I once again have to say Kelly looks so good, even better than good. Another thing I have to state is that the song is also very good and meaningful. I don't know why I avoided hearing it for so long. I expected the song to be boring, and it's anything but. Now I can't stop watching the video and listening to the song.

Playmen release a video for their latest banger


Greek DJ duo Playmen have been blowing me away with their amazing singles for almost two years now. Their songs have that something that makes them stand out in my eyes. If you've never heard of them, I recommend listening to Fallin' and Out Of My Head before continuing to read this post. Now, when it comes to news about these guys, they have released the video for their newest single Breakin' Me Up. The song is very good and the video is equally interesting. The song's dance break and lyrics are amazing as always and the black and white video shows the singer with a couple of background dancers busting a move on a pool. The best part is when the girls jump in the pool and start doing some crazy spins and what-not all while wearing heels. Respect. Also the video has Coca Cola light as product placement, but that is something we're already used to. Enjoy the cool video below.
