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 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
