Man Down

2011-05-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

Rihanna has released her music video for her latest California King Bed single and she looks great, as always. She has already chosen Man Down off of Loud as her next single which in my opinion isn't the best option considering the other amazing songs on the album like Skin and Raining Men with Nicki Minaj. Check out the CKB video below and also check out Raining Men.

Super Bass

2011-05-05T15:47:00.000-07:00

After being pushed back quite a few times, Nicki Minaj has released her next video for Super Bass and I can tell you it is worth the wait. 3 minutes of eye candy central, enjoy below.

You & I

2011-05-05T14:15:00.000-07:00

Two updates from the Gagasphere. Lady Gaga has just released her music video for Judas today and I must say that it's not as blasphemous as some were hyping it up to be, just another video portraying her talents as a dancer and entertainer. Also, last night on American Idol contender Haley Reinhart did a rendition of Lady Gaga's unreleased You & I and I must say that it is a great song and she did a great job of singing it, regardless of the negative feedback she received from the judges. I can see her going into the top 3 or 2 in this competition. Check out both videos below!

The Island

2011-05-05T00:15:00.000-07:00

Pendulum has been around for a while now and I know this song has also been around for a while but I am just discovering it as well as the Tiesto remix. The Island is a super catchy beat with an amazing remix by Tiesto. Check out both the original and the remix below.

Save The World

2011-05-04T13:11:00.000-07:00

Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso) has released their new track Save The World and it has great production with vocals that one would see on an episode of Smallville. Definitely worth checking out the song here for download or listening to it below.

She Ain't You

2011-05-04T01:59:00.000-07:00

I hate Chris Brown..but when he's sampling MJ's Human Nature on his newest single She Ain't You I can't hate. The song is good..and the video is great. He should definitely stick to focusing on his dance moves if he wants the public to semi forget what a douche he is. Check out his MJ inspired music video below.

Papi

2011-05-04T01:47:00.001-07:00

Riding off her album release this week of LOVE? JLo has released her video for I'm Into You featuring Lil Wayne (who is no where to be seen in the video). The video also has a break where she dances to Papi. She's still got an amazing voice, great productions and looks better than ever. Another song worth checking out on her new album is Hypnotico which was produced by RedOne and written by Lady Gaga. Check out both below.

TTWE Remix

2011-05-04T01:22:00.000-07:00

Now that Britney has chosen Nicki Minaj as her opener for the Femme Fatale tour, she has also teamed up with her and Ke$ha for the remix to Till The World Ends. Highlights include the intro with Nicki and the semi-dubstep break near the end. Check out the remix below.

Where Them Girls At

2011-05-04T01:13:00.000-07:00

David Guetta knows just who to collaborate with to get his air time. His newest single slated to be out on his upcoming Summer album. He has teamed up with Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj for Where Them Girls At and I just can't not love anything with Nicki on it. As much as I hate the recycled beat from Sexy Bitch the song is still great. Check out the teaser video below.

Run The World

2011-05-04T00:29:00.000-07:00

Beyonce is back with a new hit and an upcoming album. Her first single Run the World (Girls) reminds me a lot of when Single Ladies came out. I wasn't a big fan at first and it wasn't until the video came out for it that it raced up the Billboard charts. In other words, I can not wait to see what kind of music video she will release to go with this song which samples Major Lazer's Pon de Floor. Check out the song below.

California King Bed

2011-04-15T16:59:00.001-07:00

Rihanna killed her latest single California King Bed live last night on American Idol. I am so happy she chose to go with this as her next single, especially if we can drown out the horrendous remix she did with Britney Spears on S&M. But hey, everyone makes mistakes right? Check out her performance below and I'm sure we'll have a music video to go with it shortly.

PS When is Stefano getting kicked off Idol...he's absolutely TERRIBLE and TALENTLESS!

Fame Hooker Prostitute Wench

2011-04-15T16:39:00.000-07:00

Released ahead of schedule and already #3 on iTunes with only being up for maybe 5 hours is Lady Gaga's second single off Born This Way titled Judas. Just listening to it the first few times I can tell you won't get this off repeat on the radio for all of the summer...at least. Never ceasing to pull out the Ace of Base vibes from the 90s, check out Judas below as well as Lady Gaga's latest Transmission Gagavision number 42 for an insight on the backstage life she lives on tour. Click here to buy the track on iTunes.

Wolfgang

2011-04-15T16:29:00.000-07:00

I love when two artists I love get together and make great music. The one and only Wolfgang Gartner has teamed up with Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am to release Forever. All around great track. Another great track by Wolfgang to check out if you want more is Space Junk. Get into it.

Starry Eyed

2011-04-15T15:51:00.001-07:00

I last blogged about British artist Ellie Goulding last month. I have now gone to see her live this past week and I am absolutely in love with her. Her entire album Lights is stunning and she currently sits at the #1 spot on the UK charts. You must check out her second single Starry Eyed as well as her cover of Elton John's Your Song. She's got me starry eyed, I really just can't get enough.

Animal

2011-04-15T15:40:00.000-07:00

Yes this is an older song of hers from her debut CD but I recently came across the music video for it and I realized how much I actually enjoy the song. It definitely sounds like it could be a Kelly Clarkson but with the right amount of glitter, anything can become Ke$ha's. Check out her music video for Animal below.

Natalia Kills

2011-04-07T17:14:00.000-07:00

Here is a new British artist that is starting out with a killer track. Signed to Interscope/Cherrytree Records just like Lady Gaga, Natalia Kills has released Mirrors as her first single to show on her debut album Perfectionist. Her music video for it is edgy and fits the melody perfectly and the Frankmusik remix is amazing, see them both below.

Starbucks

2011-04-07T16:59:00.000-07:00

Good news Starbucks fans, not only can you enjoy your Mocha Coconut Frappuccino this summer but today, April 7, 2011, has been declared by the City of Seattle City Council as Starbucks Day. With a proclamation that you can see above, Starbucks celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and can give Seattle a huge thank you for being a part of that. Now go get your coffee!!

The Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce presents the Legends and Leaders Series with the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz discussing his new book, "ONWARD: How Starbucks Fought For Its Life Without Losing Its Soul".

21

2011-04-07T16:42:00.000-07:00

Not only is she breaking Billboard charts in the UK beating out Madonna for staying at #1 but she is also opening the door for some great remixes. Nothing makes me happier than hearing a song I love with a great dance remix. I recently came across this remix of Rolling in the Deep. Check out the remix below and if you haven't heard the original check that one out first!

Motivation

2011-04-06T18:24:00.000-07:00

What is going on with Kelly Rowland? Her newest track Motivation with Lil' Wayne seems like an extra raunchy Ciara video. The song is slow and simple and I actually quite enjoy it, but the video..a little too much. I must admit though, I didn't know Kelly Rowland could dance like this, so props to her.

Transmission Gagavision

2011-04-06T18:17:00.000-07:00

Lady Gaga is back to her video blogging days, which she has recently put off for a while. She has just posted her Transmission Gagavision episode 41 in which we see her behind the scenes getting ready for one of her shows. We also know through twitter that she is in the middle of shooting her music video for her new single Judas which we should see come out very soon (possibly April 19th).

Till the World Ends

2011-04-06T18:06:00.000-07:00

It has come clearly evident with the promotion and performances given by Britney Spears since her most recent Femme Fatale album release that when it comes to dancing...she's pretty much got nothing left. Her Good Morning America performance was terrible, her Jimmy Kimmel show was the exact same atrocity, and now we have her newest music video for Till the World Ends. Yes, the song is catchy and great and she looks amazing but is she actually moving? There is so much apocalypto going on here that I don't really know what is going on. Check out the video below for yourself.

E.T.

2011-03-31T19:36:00.000-07:00

After about a full month of promotion, we have the release of Katy Perry's newest music video for E.T. featuring Kanye West. I must say that I am quite disappointed after all this hype. Sure they did a good job on Katy's appearance but the background images looked unprofessional and the video was just ... boring. Check out the over hyped video on Vevo below.

Hollywood Tonight

2011-03-31T00:51:00.000-07:00

What I love about Michael Jackson is that his music is still coming out...even though he's dead. Weird? Sorry if I sound a little harsh but let's be honest, let's leave some room for new artists yea? His newest single off his post-departed album Michael is called Hollywood Tonight. The song is very decent however I came across a remix by DJ Chuckie that made it into pure dance sex. You can listen to the remix and the original below as well as download the remix here for free. The music video for the original might as well double up as a preview for Step Up 4 while they're at it..

Top Of The World

2011-03-30T01:53:00.001-07:00

Dev and The Cataracs are just pumping out hit after hit. Where is this album release? Top of the World was released last week and has The Cataracs blasting out some terrible lyrics while Dev belts out a catchy chorus. I think The Cataracs should stick to making music..and not writing lyrics. Check out their newest below.

Lights On

2011-03-30T01:39:00.001-07:00

I love Katy B and I hate America for always being so behind on good music. Katy B has just released her debut album in the UK titled Broken Record and I just want more. You may remember I posted about her back in February with her debut single but now we have her second single featuring Ms. Dynamite titled Lights On. Be sure to also check out the rest of her album if you get the chance.
