NEW MUSIC: Iggy Azalea feat. T.I. - Murda Bizness

2012-03-26T18:23:00.000-07:00

New Grand Hustle signee Iggy Azalea premiered today her debut official single, "Murda Bizness", featuring label boss T.I. The release and record deal come hot on the heels of the viral success of her YouTube clip for "Pu$$y", which among various other quirks featured a brilliant intro courtesy of Grace Jones, from a legendary scene of hers opposite Eddie Murphy in the movie "Boomerang".

Anyways, you can check out the Bei Maejor (him from that Ciara remix a while back) produced cut below. Fingers crossed the music video (which is still in development) will be every bit as excellent as the teaser clip we were given.

FULL SONG: Justin Bieber - Boyfriend

2012-03-25T21:24:00.001-07:00

It's FINALLY here! Stream the full length new single "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber below. The track is a definite winner and - if his Belieber stan reactions on Twitter are anything to go by - will be debuting high on the charts within the next week.

According to Rap-Up.com, Justin's forthcoming LP is set to include collaborations with Pharrell, Drake, Timbaland, Danja, Hit-Boy, will.i.am and Diplo (among others). Frequent collaborator and controversial BFF Chris Brown is also rumoured so let's keep our fingers crossed on that one.

NEW SNIPPET: Justin Bieber - Boyfriend

2012-03-25T15:46:00.000-07:00

Co-written by Mike Posner, the fever's back in the guise of Justin Bieber's hot new single "Boyfriend". They're working hard on making him the new Justin Timberlake and from the sound of this new snippet they're doing pretty damn well.

The cut is out in full in two days time and serves as the lead single from his upcoming album.

MUSIC VIDEO: Lionel Richie feat. Shania Twain - Endless Love

2012-03-24T17:38:00.000-07:00

Legendary R&B crooner, Oscar and Golden Globe winner Lionel Richie teams up with equally legendary country diva Shania Twain for a reworking of his classic hit "Endless Love". The collaboration marks Shania's return to the world of Pop after a seven year absence and is the first single from Lionel's new album "Tuskegee", named after his Alabama hometown.

The collaborative project counts also features from the likes of Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Jennifer Nettles, Tim McGraw, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, and Pixie Lott.

Recorded in the Bahamas, check out the music video below:

MUSIC VIDEO: Katy Perry - Part Of Me

2012-03-21T17:01:00.001-07:00

Ever-frequent chart topper Katy Perry has released the music video for "Part Of Me", her latest US Billboard Hot 100 smash and lead single from her Teenage Dream re-release.

I'm really not quite sure what to make of this clip. On the one hand it's an interesting concept and aesthetically involving - certainly far better than another generic "in the club drinkin' with tha homies" video, right? On the other hand, nothing much happens other than a lot of military training, which makes absolutely no sense together with the song itself.

WATCH: Tulisa Speaks on Sex Tape with MC Ultra

2012-03-21T16:23:00.000-07:00

X-Factor UK judge and former N-Dubz lead singer Tulisa Contostavlos speaks on the recent leak of her sex tape ("intimate moment") alongside former boyfriend Justin Edwards, otherwise MC Ultra (and NOT her other ex Fazer, as claimed by her cousin Dappy in rather disturbing tweets about recognising his dick & fucking lots of bitches together).

As unpleasant as the whole episode is, you've gotta love how articulate and eloquent Tulisa's comeback is. Check it out below:

MUSIC VIDEO: One Direction - One Thing (Acoustic)

2012-03-21T07:50:00.001-07:00

Just as they make history with their debut album "Up All Night" - the first album by a British group to top the US Billboard Top 200 chart (displacing Adele with sales of 176,000) - the One Direction have released a new video. The visual is for the acoustic version of their hit "One Thing" and can be seen below.

With such phenomenal success, the 1D boys are already being hailed with bringing back the boyband (or "Pop vocal group") in the US. Whilst the jury's still out on that one, two or three more hit singles could easily propell their record to Gold, maybe even Platinum, certification.

NEW MUSIC: Machine Gun Kelly feat. Cassie - Warning Shot

2012-03-19T19:17:00.000-07:00

Just as her comeback single "King Of Hearts" starts to build on US radio, Bad Boy's first lady Cassie appears on Machine Gun Kelly's new cut "Warning Shot". The track is lifted from his latest mixtape "Half-Naked & Almost Famous".

As glad as I am for Cassie to be getting some extra promo, she doesn't particularly DO anything here. Her contribution could very easily be recorded by anyone else - it sounds a bit like she recorded it over the phone or something. Still, it's a good track overall, so hopefully it'll get a proper push and a video etc and do something for them both on urban radio.

LIVE: Katy Perry - Niggas In Paris (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)

2012-03-19T17:03:00.000-07:00

Earlier today Katy Perry stopped by BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and performed a rousing rendition of Kanyé West and Jay-Z ("The Throne") runaway hit "Niggas In Paris".

As surprising as it may sound, she actually killed it. Female rap game = shut down. I must not be watching the same video as those people saying she was trash, weak, embarassing, lame, etc. Indeed, if it wasn't for her long string of chart-topping Pop hits, I swear she'd already be ranking right alongside Iggy Azalea and Kreayshawn in all the "to watch out for", "freshmen", "best new female rappers" (etc etc) lists.

MUSIC VIDEO: Marina And The Diamonds - Primadonna (Acoustic)

2012-03-19T16:59:00.000-07:00

Hot on the heels of the song and music video's premiere, Marina And The Diamonds has served up a separate visual to accompany the acoustic version of her latest release, "Primadonna". Needless to say, she [as always] looks and sounds fantastic.

OH SHIIIIT. ldapsldhdlascmdokcimasdkasopdkoasdkopk !!!!

Bloody hell. Jam! Somewhere inbetween M.I.A. meets Kesha meets Jason DeRulo meets some kind of Bollywood/'Jai Ho' type thing, I present Archeo's infectious banger "Glass Half Empty":

MUSIC VIDEO: Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans (Official Video)d

2012-03-18T20:30:00.002-07:00

Queen of all that is sensuously nostalgic Lana Del Rey has picked long-running fan favourite and "Video Games" B-side "Blue Jeans" as the next official single release from her chart-topping debut album. The music video features Bradley Soileau, the striking model dude from "Born To Die", and completely and utterly transpires sex. Although the original clip from way back is still my favourite (for nostalgia value), this is a great clip in it's own right.

Enjoy:

NEW MUSIC: Example feat. Ludacris - Changed The Way You Kissed Me (Remix)

2012-03-18T09:53:00.000-07:00

New official remix of Example's UK smash hit "Changed The Way You Kissed Me", featuring rapper Ludacris. I imagine this'll be the first proper release of his stateside.

MUSIC VIDEO: It Boys! - Guys Don't Like Me

2012-03-17T14:12:00.000-07:00

The infectious "Guys Don't Like Me" is the UK debut single from LA pop-rockers It Boys!, who have just signed on with the same agent as JLS, The Wanted, One Direction and McFly in antecipation of a string of UK live dates to be announced shortly. Across the Atlantic the guys toured nonstop through 2011, appearing alongside the likes of Jeffree Star, Dev, Carolina Liar and in the Vans Warped Tour.

Their full length debut album is in the process of being wrapped up and will be released this summer. Whilst "Guys" is great fun and they're definitely the new "It" act for those partial to some guyliner rock (as I am), I do hope their album shows a diverse range of genres and serves up some less derivative fare.

Enjoy!

MUSIC VIDEO (NSFW): Elsie - How To Handle A Sex PEST
