If you look up "Power Couple" in the Dictionary…

Monday, August 31st, 2009


…then these two pop up! Can you believe Jay-Z’s album is coming out? Tracks are a’leaking, and it sounds like a well balanced album to me. Success for Jigga!
Exceptionally good hair day there B, nice.

Fresher than fresh: Mary J. Blige & Drake

Saturday, August 29th, 2009


Jay-Z declared death on autotune, but Mary J. Blige ain’t finished with that trend just yet. Her new single “The One” is VERY NICE if you ask me. The track just works it’s way into your brain, and then Drake comes in and makes it even more…FRESH!

Love it when Drake goes “I put the ring on her index finger…”

A lil’ Blueprint 3

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

A new track from “Blueprint 3″ just leaked. The laid back and breezy production is by Timbaland and the track is called “Venus vs. Mars”.
I like it, it’s mainstream Jigga at his best.

I wonder if the record biz can avoid the whole thing being leaked very soon? So far it looks like all the leaks were on purpose, for building that HYPE.

Colbie Caillat as a Pussycat Doll?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009


You gotta see this! For the Pepsi Smash performance thing artists have to cover a song, and it’s always interesting to see a new interpretation of big hits. The sweet California girl Colbie Caillat decided to go all in, and she covered “Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls!
This bluesy version of the song is so GOOD!

Good work! Nice band Colbie put together there. Her new album “Breakthrough” is out, and it’s still the same easy listening thing about loooove. I liked her debut album very much, so I’ll give it a listen.

Neeeew Leeeeeooooonaaaaaaa aaaaalbuuuuuuum (sing in high pitched voice)

Get your earplugs out people, Leona is bringing her amazing pipes back on to the scene with a new album out November 17! Are you ready for the title? Drumroll please…. “Echo”.

MISS KERI BABY + new Asher Roth thing

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009


Did you check the sizzling cover of Complex Magazine recently? Keri looks great, and I admire how she found her own style the last year. She used to be a bit blah, but now she’s supafly!

In other Keri related news, she is featured on Asher Roths third single “She Don’t Want A Man”. The video is basically an upgrade from “I Love College”: Party, girls, Asher being goofy.

Nice work, could be a hit. I mean, If Black Eyed Peas can rule the Billboard chart with that boring “I Got A Feeling” track anyone can do it…

New joint from Lloyd

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009


This guy is a certified smooth operator. Lloyd makes perfectly polished R&B that makes us ladies weak in them knees. His new single that just leaked is no exception. Check “Pusha” below…

New album should be on the way soon. Maybe even by the end of the year.

From AlphaCUTE to AlphaBLUE

Friday, August 21st, 2009

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Alphabeat have updated their look in this new promo pic that Popjustice put up. Nice too see that the boys got the hair under control. But what is going on with Stines hair? Is that hair, a crazy wig or some sort of hat? I just wanna hear the single in full length already!

As predicted….

Friday, August 21st, 2009

BORING, boring, boring. It’s sad when a single with an epic quality about it, has to suffer with a video like that.

Nelly Furtado forgot the lipgloss

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009


“I LOVE YOU” was the only thing I could say, when I met Nelly Furtado a couple of years ago. I have been a huge fan since her first album came out and rocked my teenage world. Now our dear Nelly is mature and ready to follow her dream of making a Spanish album.
I gotta say, good work with the single - but as far as the video and the whole look it isn’t exactly “amor a primera vista”.


I really wanna put some lipgloss on that woman! Why so frumpy?!

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT: Alphabeat

Monday, August 17th, 2009


Yes, yes and even more YES on top of that. A snippet from Alphabeats new single is ready for you over at Popjustice. It’s just a little taste, but I’m already hyperventilating.

Buildin’ that HYPE

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Jay-Z need some serious hype, so he invited RiRi and Yeezy to join him on “Run This Town”. Here’s a lil’ behind the scenes action, and to be honest I’m not very excited about it. I have a feeling, this video will be boring. Let’s see when is premieres in three days.

Hmm, this reminds me of something! Wait a minute….

You feel me?!

Superior Maxwell track

Sunday, August 16th, 2009


I was introduced to Maxwell, when i was given his “Maxwells Urban Hang Suite” album for my birthday like five years ago. I have been hooked ever since, because Maxwell is truly unique, talented and original.
His new album is playing non stop in my earphones, and right now I am CRAZY about the track called “Bad Habits”. The theme is simply intense feelings of love, and the video gives it a cheating twist.
Close your eyes and enjoy the composition of this song, the way the track evolves during the four minutes. I’m so impressed.

Fresh Track: Neon

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

I came across this FRESH video the other day. Love the art direction, with the whole 90’s tribute going on. Amanda Diva seems cool.

Is Lady Gaga a style stealer?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009


Never mind the penis story doing the rounds in the media right now. This one is more important. This article points out that UK singer Roisin Murphys previous outfits have startling similarities with the ones Lady Gaga wows the world with right now. Click on the article link and check out the many pictures.

What do you think? Is Lady Gaga a sneaky copycat or is her style her own and original?
