Rrrrobyn is a busy lady. But the fierce Swedish fembot still found time to put together a video for the new single “Hang With Me” from her upcoming album “Body Talk Pt. 2″. It shows her life on the road, doing promo, getting her make up done and things like that.

Best moment in the video: The “Robyn from the back”-medley at 01:17.

I found myself tapping my foot when I saw this performance of Maroon 5’s new single “Misery”. It’s climbing the charts. Number 28 in the US right now.

Maroon 5 are now exactly known for sounding good live. But I sense some improvement here.

Don’t miss the violent Joseph Kahn directed video for this song.

What a KILLER CHORUS! Here’s Katy Perry’s new single “Teenage Dream”. Love it already after three listens. Video for this tasty piece of pop has already been shot, so we should have a premiere SOON.

Aaaand today is my birthday! So I’m off to celebrate with loads of snacks, fruit, drinks and fun games in the park with a handful of amazing friends. Feeling like a very lucky girl today, so celebrate with me and remember to be happy and thankful and enjoy good music.

Congratulations Christina Aguilera, you finally released a single that reminds us that you are incredibly talented. And the video really suits this song, written by Australian singer Sia. It still gives me goose bumps.

The internets is ablaze after Miss Perry revealed the picture above. This is Katy Perry’s new album cover for “Teenage Dream” out in August. The cover is made by artist Will Cotton, and he has actually done this whole “nekkid lady in cotton candy” before - here’s one of his artworks from 2006 titled “Candy Sky”.

So does this prove that Katy Perry can’t come up with original ideas of her own? Or should we applaud her for bringing art into pop culture? I’m torn on this one.

Have any of you guys noticed that Nicki Minaj toned down the sexXxy? After her debut solo single “Massive Attack” failed to take over the charts Nicki tried something new. Now she is more covered up than ever, and much more suitable for mainstream success. I think it’s a smart move, especially considering that Nicki Minaj is a young 25 year old girl. She doesn’t need to try that hard yet! Here she plays a samurai in training – caught in a love triangle in the video for her new single “Your Love”.

If the song sounds familiar it’s because of the sample from an Annie Lennox track. Did I mention that “Your Love” is number 18 on Billboard Hot 100 right now? Not bad Nicki san.

Mark Ronson is doing really well too. I had never imagined his new single “Bang Bang Bang” could be a mainstream hit, but right now the song is number six on the UK charts.

The “Bang Bang Bang” package contains these elements:

- Up and coming singer MNDR – also known as Amanda

- Rapper Q-tip needs no introduction

- Elements from a French Canadian children’s song called “Alouette”. It’s about a bird of some sort, and the line “Je te plumerai la tête” from the chorus means “I shall pluck your head”.

-  A GOOD video.

More news on singer MNDR coming soon.

“Pack Up” is the follow up single to “Skinny Genes”. The infectious feel good tune is doing really well. It’s number 8 in the UK and rising. Eliza Doolittle is certainly doing her thaaaaang.

Do you like it? I personally love it.

On Robyn’s new album “Body Talk Pt. 1″ there is a delicious track called “Hang With Me” and a lovely minimalistic production to go with it. When Robyn’s NEXT album “Body Talk Pt. 2″ will be out in September “Hang With Me” will be on there again – in a new uptempo version that is. Listen to both versions below. Which one do you prefer?

OMG, I just found this priceless photo on my computer. It was taken in the summer of 2006 after my interview with Lily Allen – would you BELIEVE this photo is four years old?! At the time I had the most amazing job as the music editor of a youth magazine, and I got to talk to so many inspiring people. Including Lily, who in this interview told me that she hates her big thighs, was considering going back to her ex-boyfriend whom she wrote “Littlest Things” about and that she likes her men ugly and preferably with hairy backs. I was a huge fan, and interviewing Lily was amazing. What a pleasant flashback.

So much has happened since. Lily laid off the glitter-eyeshadow and the trainers and is planning to retire, if the rumours are true. I have left the music journalism work to become a superhero/blogger/journalism student. But one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for Lily’s music.

Some people get excited over cars. Some over cute ponies. For me, it’s a good music video in high definition. Uh weeeee… I just love to marvel at all the creative and fun details of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” vid. Watch the popsicle-melting-action go down – HD style.

With a video like this it’s no wonder this single is GLUED to the number 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 the last six weeks. Whew.

The controversial and larger than life (in his head that is) Kanye West dropped his new single “Power” a couple of weeks ago. I like the energy of the song and that he comes back with a big BANG!-IN-YOUR-FACE-HATERS-SINGLE. But it seems that the tracks has trouble creating that BUZZ. The song debuted at number 22 on Billboard Hot 100 – but fell to number 29 this week. Not good Kanye. You better drop a mainstream/relatable video for this track ASAP!

I’m digging the volcano visuals. Hope he uses that in the videoooo.

I believe in different kinds of intelligence. Social Intelligence, mathematical intelligence and so on. Here’s a man who has the visual intelligence thing DOWN. Art Director extraordinaire Tomace is known for his amazing press pictures showing rapper L.O.C. caught in the seven deadly sins. And you remember the fresh video for Medina’s “Ensom”, right?

Every time I meet Tomace I BEG him for new details on his latest project, because it’s simply a very original concept: Photos of artists, where they are portrayed in a new way - what if fate had other plans for them?

The 40 photos and texts will then be released in book form sometime this year. And now Tomace is making it easier for me to get new details and teasers, because he just created a website to go with the “What A Beautiful Waste Of Talent” project. Also known as “W.A.B.W.O.T.”. Get in there and check out teasers for portraits of Stine Bramsen of Alphabeat, Karen, L.O.C., Oh Land and many more.

CHECKS IT OUT, BEHBEH.

My only question: Will Tomace make a self portait?

I saw Hurts live in Copenhagen recently and now it’s your turn to experience them.

Watch the British duo perform MTV Sessions HERE. It’s good quality and everything.

My fave song is “Stay” – could be a BIG HIT if you ask me.

The legendary Sheryl Crow put out a new album, but nevermind, I want to focus on her new cover of my FAVE 80’s song by Terence Trent D’Arby “Sign Your Name”. Sheryl’s cover is subtle, laid back and has backing vocals from JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE on it. Yes, you read correctly. Justin.

Ok, I’m feeling a bit light headed here…

Such a CLASSIC. Watch and listen to the ORIGINAL “Sign Your Name” HERE.
