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, 2009A 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)
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009MISS 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, 2009From AlphaCUTE to AlphaBLUE

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, 2009Nelly 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 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, 2009Jay-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, 2009I 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?
