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.
