Premiere: CL, 나쁜 기집애 (The Baddest Female)

Oh, hot damn!  CL from 2NE1 just launched her solo career with the most perfect K-Pop confection, "나쁜 기집애 (The Baddest Female)!"  I may not understand 97% of what she's saying, but bad assery is universal.  PSY has called her the "baddest Asian" girl, and I'd have to concur!

K-Pop girls in general are pretty bitchen', but CL takes it to a whole 'nother level!  The song is a constant high from beginning to end.  There's some dubstep, rapping, mid-tempo break, and what-have-you.  As for the music video, you'll just have to watch.  CL needs to be seen and heard, so do it-- now!

Also, does anyone else get Brooke Candy vibes?  Maybe that's just me.  That's a collaboration I'd kill for!

Introducing: Follow Me

It's not too often that something as cool as Follow Me comes along, but here they are!  The team certainly aren't new to the music scene, but having just released a debut single on indie label, HeavyRoc, I'd say their pretty damn new!

"Somethin' 'bout You" is everything I love about music and more!  It's clearly 90's R&B influenced with deep house beats, yet it's fresh.  Vocals are on-point, and because I need a reference point, A*M*E comes to mind.  The song though could easily creep on everyone's Summer pool playlist!  As it should, since it's FREE!

If you're needing more Follow Me, you should check out their Facebook page.  It has multiple mixes they've done including my favorites for Aaliyah, Brandy, and TLC!  "Like" them on Facebook, and let the good times roll!

Listen: A*M*E, Heartless

The 18-year old UK songstress got a major hit with Duke Dumont on "Need U (100%)," as she should have, so now she's prepping a second single, "Heartless."  The song will follow up her own "Play the Game Boy," and to me, it's a winner!

The song doesn't have the same energy as her previous single, but it has the same heart.  I love her British raps and her quirky lyrics.  There's an undeniable spunk, and I'm beaming ear-to-ear to hear that!  Take a listen below, and be sure to support her whenever the song gets official release!

Listen: Icona Pop, Girlfriend

OK!.. so, it's no "I Love It" or "Manners" or "Ready for the Weekend," but Icona Pop's new single, "Girlfriend," does sample 2 Pac's "Me & My Girlfriend," so that's pretty awesome, right?  For real, though, it's probably just a grower.

"Girlfriend" has that light electro that could go either way-- bad Tron or amazing Tron.  This is somewhere in-between.  The chorus is great and totally lesbian, which I love!  There is something left to be desired otherwise, but if Icona Pop is anything, it's experimental!  I still can't wait to hear more material from them.

Premiere: Katy B, What Love Is Made Of

I've already written about Katy B's masterpiece, "What Love Is Made Of," so I won't go on and on and on and on about how brilliant it is, because I've already done that!  But, to get this song as much as exposure as possible, I'm posting the music video!  And, I just have a few things to say.

First, Katy B has got to be one of the most gorgeous redheads out there today!  Seconds, the boys in this video are to die for!  Third, I'm loving the butch car motif!  Fourth, the boys!  Fifth, the ending is quite dramatic and amazing so make sure you watch until the end!

Premiere: Ke$ha, Crazy Kids

It has arrived!  The music video for Ke$ha's "Crazy Kids" has premiered via MTV!  Unfortunately, this version does include will.i.am, but it's just a a few seconds, so it could always be worse!  The song has been a favorite of mine from Warrior, and I couldn't be more pleased with the music video.

From a crazy hoodrat chick get-up to a Va Va Voom superstar, Ke$ha embodies it all!  I'm living for her Illuminati eye-- way to approach rumors head-on!  I want that fridge full of piss-yellow 40s if for no other reason than to have something for Ke$ha to drink should she make a house call.  And, the "Crazy Kids" dance-- otherwise known as the Monkey?  Easy peesy lemon-squeezie!

Cover: Ellie Goulding, Tessellate (Cover of Alt-J)

Well, Ellie Goulding really knows how to cover a song!  The music festival beauty has really made a wave with "Lights" and Halcyon, so naturally she releases a cover of Alt-J's song, "Tessellate," from their debut effort.

Similar to her cover of "Hanging On" it's a burning process, but this time we get a gut-wrenching sax solo to die for!  If I were straight and could get close enough to touch, I'd marry the shit of Ellie Goulding.  Sing me home, baby!
