Awful header, I know. NOT ENOUGH TIME TO BE CLEVER HERE.

I don’t know why, but I am on my hands and knees praising the Pop Gods right now: Two more Britney demos have surfaced since last night.

The first, “When I Say So,” was produced by BT during the Britney sessions.

A short song snippet originally leaked online a few months back, but the full version has finally come to see the light of day. It’s an incredibly strong number, featuring some confident talk about ‘getting some’ only when Britney says so (amazing), as well as some Michael Jackson-friendly cooing. It should have made the album.

The second, which only leaked minutes ago, is entitled “Mad Love.”

A far slinkier and smokier number, the demo (again from Riprock and Alex G) features Brit’s raspy baby vocals at their most vulnerable–not Autotuned, not (heavily) processed. The song brings to mind the Bollywood seduction of Madonna‘s “Candy Perfume Girl” and “Shanti/Ashtangi,” and it’s probably the closest we’ll come to getting some Ray Of Light soul searching from B Girl. It should have made the album.

TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.

Pause.

Breathe.

Muusers: This is an ACTUAL demo from Britney, reportedly found on a 2001 demo reel by Riprock ‘n’ Alex G which recently made its way onto eBay.

It is ALL shades of 2001 Britney-era B, alternating between the hard-hitting pop smack of album tracks like “Lonely” and the more sophisticated electronic vibes explored on cuts like the wildly-brilliant-but-overlooked “I Run Away.”

But there are elements that are entirely new: The middle eight around the 2:45 mark brings Pet Shop Boys-like ’80′s synth play; the spoken word intro a touch of Janet Jackson‘s “That’s The Way Love Goes.” In short, this is way more complex and musically interesting than what we were hearing come from Britney at the time.

Above all, the track seemingly provides a glimpse into the future: The lyrics that tempt the flames of religion and sexuality in one go (very “Like A Prayer,” I know) bring to mind the moodier cuts (“Mona Lisa”; “Guilty”; “Rebellion”) that came pouring out during–err, the beginning of the darker era.

“I confess if I’ve done wrong / But in your eyes, I see I’m guilty.”

I AM ABSOLUTELY FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW.

OH–WHAT?! I CAN’T EVEN.

FLAWLESSNESS x PERFECTION x GLAMOUR x ELEGANCE x DIVINITY.

What if there’s a new TV advert coming soon? BRB SEIZING.

This is Kristine Elezaj. She is an up-and-coming 24-year-old pop artist.

According to her official biography, Elezaj is “fierce, fun, edgy, and brave,” which I believe accounts for approximately 74.3% of the total ingredients necessary to concoct the Perfect Pop Star.

As far as comparisons are concerned, I’m seeing Holly Valance with a little bit more rhythm, hearing Heidi Montag with more talent (a bit of Alesha Dixon in moments as well), and recognizing Godney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls as the singer’s most obvious influences.

Kristine Elezaj has some promising songs and she’s made music videos with some fairly solid dancing (see above), but we’re here today to discuss “Warpath.”

“Warpath” is Elezaj’s upcoming single due out in September. It also happens to be amazing.

The song is what I would refer to as a proper ‘trash pop banger.’ It’s basically all about triflin’ men (“man whore”) and revenge and doing the daily chores (“taking out the trash”). There’s a chorus, but then there’s sort of a post-chorus chorus that’s arguably even better. There’s also some swearing here and there.

Now here’s a random list of amazing lyrics, sorted in order:

3. “You’re so dirty–should have known by now you’re a man whore.”
2. “You’re so dirty–should have known by now that this means WAR!”
1. “I saw that trick that you was with tonight / She was Justin Bieber‘s lookalike.”

There’s also a really genius Autotuned, “Disturbia”-esque “AH!” sound after each verse line which is brilliant.

And now, click above to hear an official snippet of “Warpath,” courtesy of Kristine Elezaj’s management. It happens to feature ALL THREE AMAZING LYRICS listed above.

See? It’s a stormer.

Kirstine Elezaj’s debut album will be released toward the end of 2010. For more information, check out her official website.

My mom was dancing the entire time which is LOL now that I think about it, but in the moment I was just like, ”mom…..no…please no”.

See Lady Gaga.

Art, Lady Gaga, art.

A few weeks ago I introduuced the Jessie and the Toy Boys, the sugar-coated side project by Xenomania songwriter, Jessie Malakouti.

Now, I come bearing excluusives!

Click above to hear a full-length stream of Jessie’s newest track, “Key to The City.”

The song, produced by Richard Vission, is an explosive, surging youth anthem a la Kim Wilde‘s “Kids in America,” albeit more grown-up: “We’re smokin’ the chronic, we’re hooked on the phonics / We eat rock ‘n’ roll,” Malakouti merrily chirps during the first verse. Cue the explosion of electric guitars and synth beats immediately thereafter.

Enjoy!

To hear and see more from Jessie, check out her official website, her tweets, her Facebook, and her newly created YouTube channel, which features Malakouti dancing around like a loon upon hearing “Key to the City” being played for the first time on radio.

Next week, I’ll be heading to Kelis and Robyn‘s All Hearts Tour in New York City, which I fully expect to BLOW MY MIND.

You know, like Inception.

While I was sitting around one night thinking about the show, I said to myself: “Self, why not hold a very special Robyn related contest for all of my fellow Muusers who are loving Robyn as much as I am right now?”

AND SO IT SHALL BE DONE.

To enter to win one of TWO SIGNED COPIES of Robyn’s first EP of the year, Body Talk. Pt. 1, send me an e-mail with the subject line “BODYTALK” telling me why YOU ♥ Robyn, or tweet me with the following phrase: “Hi–@MuuMuse? This signed Robyn CD contest is #killingme!”

Two winners shall be selected and notified on August 2. Good luck!

Body Talk Pt. 2 will be released on September 7 in the US.

Oh boy…now this is a real treat.

Click above to watch the brand new video for “Hang With Me,” Robyn‘s upcoming single from her soon-to-be-released EP, Body Talk Pt. 2.

The clip follows the singer on her recent touring adventures, all gorgeously shot by director Max Vitali.

This video will prove to be an instant favorite for hardcore fans, offering a rare, intimate glimpse of Robyn as a pop star. While there’s loads of great footage following the singer on roller coasters and performing in front of massive crowds, the best moments are the ones pictured above–smiling simply all on her own.

From her official website, “Hang With Me” will be released “6th August in Scandinavia / 17th August in the US and Canada / 3rd September in Germany, Switzerland and Holland / 5th September in the UK and Australia.”

YES. YES. YES. A HUNDRED TIMES, YES.

MuuMuse’s Most Anticipated Artist of 2010 did NOT disappoint.

Click above to hear a preview of “Mirrors,” the official debut single by the talented and murderous Miss Natalia Kills.

With a grinding synthesized beat recalling that of the Eurythemics‘ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)” and a healthy helping of over-driven guitars, “Mirrors” is a delicious, dark moment of sexy electro-pop for the up-and-coming artist. “Turning the lights out, tighten the handcuffs / And the mirrors going to fog tonight,” Kills croons as she sorts through her bag of weapons to determine the best tool for torture.

And let’s not forget about the preview video–Kills, you’re looking like one fine murderous mistress tempting those mirror shards!

As a very, very wise woman once said: “There’s a certain satisfaction in a little bit of pain.”

“Mirrors” will be the lead single from Kills’ debut album, Perfectionist, due out in the fall.
