You know it's Summer when the Romanian Queen of the Dance Floor has a new single out! For 2013, the Queen has teamed up with Manilla Maniacs for a in-your-face smash, "All My People!" It's an Italian club standard to say the least!
Once again Alexandra has let Maan Studio power-producers work their magic to create an all-out dance fest! I think I've made myself crystal clear on how much I thoroughly enjoy Alexandra and just about everything she's released! From a good chunk of Saxobeats to "Cliché (Hush Hush)" to "Lemonade," I've been there every step of the way!
Who says bindis are exclusive to Indian natives and Selena Gomez? Not Iggy Azalea! The model-turned-rapper rocks a bindi in her new music video for her new single, "Bounce," off her forthcoming debut, The New Classic.
The Bollywood themed clip features some truly gangster worthy moments that would rival M.I.A. including riding on elephant through the streets of Mumbai. If that ain't a true G moment, then I don't know what is! Out of all of Iggy's releases this is the one I'm most excited about! It's a great tune, and it has a great video! Maybe she is worth all the hype!
Yes, yes, yessss! I've been obsessed with Leah LaBell's "Lolita" ever since it graced my ears so long ago! And, now she's finally released the music video! And, well, it's not for everyone that's for sure!
Mean people would argue that the video is as busted as that haircut, but I'd argue it's chicana chic. Some people would attack the lack of budget, and I'd remind them of Britney's mirror-smudged "Gimme More" video. Others might ponder over the storyline, and I'd point out that Leah pulled off overall shorts. Done!
For real, though, I see the issues with this music video, but I could give two flying fucks. I'm setting up a lemonade stand as we speak and I will be rocking a pair of high waisted shorts complete with heart-shaped glasses. And, of course, I will arrive in a Playskool buggy-- burnt orange and yellow.
Well, ain't this something! Martin Solveig had a great last year, and the Cataracs are constantly on an EDM playlist somewhere! Naturally the two would hook up with Kyle to release a fun Summer anthem, "Hey Now!"
The song sounds like a classic Solveig production-- fun and spunky! The Cataracs add a fun rap verse, which I don't annoying at all-- like most raps. I'm thoroughly happy with this! This'll definitely be on my Summer playlist! I hope this means Solveig is ready to release yet another album!
Coca Cola and American Idol have teamed up with Carly Rae Jepsen to release a new Summer jam, "Take a Picture." Apparently, it was Coca Cola Perfect Harmony contest in which viewers chose portions of the song's lyrics, the theme and elements of the performance as well. Sounds like somebody is hard-up for a hit, huh?
I can't say I'm in love with this song. It's super cute and cheesy pop, which I love, but it just doesn't seem too much like Carly-- though it does. I don't know. It just seems like she's trying to hard, but having said that, I was am a huge fan of Kiss, so maybe I'm just a bitter Betty that it hasn't had to success it deserves! Hopefully "Take a Picture" will keep Miss Jepsen in the game for a bit longer!
If you're a fan of Euro music or Swedish pop, then you're already familiar with the musical genius last year's Eurovision winner, Loreen! She 'caused quite a commotion with Euphoria, and now she's back to really stir our hearts with "We Got the Power."
Much like fellow Swedish pop stars, Icona Pop, Loreen captures that same rock-out spirit that powers Icona Pop's "I Love It." Marching drums and smoky ambience really make this song a knock out! I'll admit that although I'd heard of Loreen I never paid her much mind, but I'm all ears now! I'm a huge fan of "We Got the Power." I can't wait to hear what's next!
The Saturdays scored their first #1 in the UK with their last single, "What About Us," and I signed a collective "It's about damn time!" And, the girls managed to jump start a small electric current here Stateside! Now the girls are ready for more hits! They've released a new single, "Gentleman," not to be confused with the hip-rolling PSY single by the same name.
"Gentleman" is definitely a departure from the past string of singles. In Britney's words, it's "more urban" and less about dance like most music nowadays. And, actually, this might make it sound dated but it sort of sounds like a Destiny's Child song-- or, at least, would have been a contender for them to record. And, for that, I kind of like it. Hell who am I kidding? I'm already singing this in my shower in between condition cycles!
And in real Saturdays' fashion there are already a plethora of remixes available online! And, of course, amongst the best is the Alias Club Mix! And, based on that, this track is fucking major!
A gentleman is so 1995, so hard for a girl to find! a real husband is so 1999, so hard for a girl to find!
Check out the Alias Club Mix after the jump!
