One of my favorite female groups at the moment, have released a video for their next single titled ‘Black Heart’. I definitely think this group has exactly what it takes to make it big, they charted with their previous single ‘Love Me’ in the UK, and this will definitely chart too. I just hope we catch on to their talent over here because these 3 are going to be huge! Can’t wait for their album!
NEW VIDEO: Eva Simons – I Don’t Like You
The female talent behind Afrojack’s worldwide smash ‘Take Over Control’ is back on her own, with this lead single off her debut album due out this year. It’s only fitting that she goes in the Dance/Techno direction seeing as she definitely fits perfectly on a uptempo beat.
I actually really like this song, I’m not sure how much radio potential she has with it because it doesn’t really stand out from everything that’s being released at the moment, but as far as club charts go, I think it will do very well. She has some pretty intense vocals in her too, and I hope she does well, she seems to have what it takes.
NEW MUSIC: Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans (Smims&Belle Remix) [Ft. Azealia Banks]
Lana Del Rey’s amazing song, ‘Blue Jeans’ gets its first house infused remix. While I think the original was absolutely amazing, this actually isn’t bad at all. Azealia Banks is one of my favorites out right now, and you can tell that she just fits perfectly over a house beat, and this proves it. Nothing compares to the original, but this is a pretty good take on it!
NEW MUSIC: Brandy – Put It Down [Ft. Chris Brown]
After premiering her ‘Behind The Music’ on VH1 last night, she tries to build off the hype by releasing her solo single ‘Put It Down’ featuring Chris Brown.
I have always been a Brandy fan, because I think her vocals are definitely underrated, and she still was part of the iconic duet ‘The Boy Is Mine’. Now trying to keep it modern, she already failed with her return duet with Monica, ‘It All Belongs To Me’ now she tries to make it solo. This song is just alright, there is nothing iconic about it, like there should be from the long wait. It will get eaten up by radio plays, and definitely the general public will like it, and the added Chris Brown feature doesn’t hurt gain some fans either. As far as the track as a whole goes, it just doesn’t do anything astounding for me. It’s good, not good enough.
The artwork is so bad, I’m not sure what she was trying to do with that either.
take a listen!
NEW MUSIC: Usher – Scream
After releasing probably one the best songs of 2012, ‘Climax’, Usher tries to continue his streak with ‘Scream.
Guess What? Usher sold out to the business! This has top 40 written all over it, the beat, the nonsense lyrics, everything about it screams top 40, maybe that’s why its called Scream. I’m highly disappointed after hearing Climax which was definitely a career defining song for him. I guess he has to make money somehow?
I mean the song is catchy and good and all that as far as dance tracks and the radio are concerned, but I’m sure the music world is just as disappointed as I am right now.
Anyway take a listen below!
NEW MUSIC: Carrie Underwood – Blown Away
Country superstar is back to take over the charts once again, this time with a more ballad feeling song titled ‘Blown Away’. This song is definitely just as good as ‘Good Girl’ and I have heard clips of the album, and it is definitely sounding pretty solid. Carrie Underwood never ceases to amaze me with her vocal and performance ability, and she just gets better and better every time.
‘Blown Away’ has a more coutry/rock feel to it, while it still shows off Carrie’s amazing vocals. It is definitely a catchy song, and surely will do well on the charts just like her first single ‘Good Girl’ did. There is definitely no stopping the Carrie reign!
Her album ‘Blown Away’ is due out May 1st!
NEW MUSIC: Alunageorge – Just A Touch
Recently discovered Alunageorge off Pinboard, and as soon as I heard this song I fell in love. Definitely a summer vibing song, with a pretty fantastic beat behind it. It’s just a feel good song, with some feel good vocals. Take a listen below!
NEW VIDEO: Emeli Sandé – My Kind of Love
The second ‘Heaven’ was released, I knew she was going to be big. I hate to say it, but look where she is now. Nothing else to say about this video, just watch it, and if you haven’t ordered her album, do it!
Another quick note, she will be opening for Coldplay in the US leg of the tour, Coldplay & Emeli Sandé in one tour? I’m there!
NEW MUSIC: Goodie Mob – Fight to Win
Cee-Lo Green hooks back up with his old band Goodie for this powerful song ‘Fight To Win’. This song has a very inspirational vibe to it, and backed by Cee-Lo’s big vocals, it all works together so well. I never really knew too much about Goodie Mob, but I have to say they really flow with Cee-Lo, and this definitely sounds like a winning combination.
Listen to the song below!
NEW VIDEO: Sam Sparro – I Wish I Never Met You
Sam Sparro is finally deciding to make his comeback! He released ‘The Shallow End’ earlier this year, then dissappeared again, but now is back with this big pop tune ‘I Wish I Never Met You’. The track really showcases his unique old school vocal style, surrounded by a big inspiring pop beat. This track is definitely one that will reach the top in the UK at least.
The video is very Michael Jackson ‘Smooth Criminal’ with the whole concept and dance moves, but its actually done pretty well. Anyway check it out below!
