Introducing… Noah
4
Noah is truly a force to be reckoned with. We haven’t been as excited about an artist like this in a while. The Canadian electro artist just released his album today, which pulled me merely because of the lushness of the cover. This prompted some research and the downloading of tracks. Right now “Mannaquin” is on heavy rotation and the entire album – titled Human Geometry – is under scrutiny. He fuses electro beats with pop sensibility. The beats might seem a bit edgy, but that is balanced out with lyrics of emotional pull. Noah is definitely a beautiful surprise for the electro world in 2009.
Lady GaGa’s breasts are on fire
Great performance on Canada’s MuchMusic Awards. She definitely knows what she is doing. Now, the music…
Saudi designer shocks with extraordinary fashions

In this region raw talents are a few and far in-between. However, sometimes a gem pops up. Mohammed Ashi has unleashed his new collection upon us, and frankly, we can’t get enough. After graduating from acclaimed fashion schools, working for world-renowned brands and winning Future TV’s Project Fashion, Ashi embarked on his own fashion journey. The product is his latest collection of pieces that are both original in form and cutting-edge in trend. The artist manages to carefully craft his works with modern flair, yet without forgetting the opulence of dress. His colors are muted, yet rich. Each piece is done with intricate care and are never duplicated.

1Jill Scott to release remix album

Following her stint as Botswana’s leading female detective that never made money because she’s so utterly nice, Jill Scott is returning to what she does best – music. It’s not a full-length album, but a remix album for the dance floor queens. Jill Scott had previously tasted dance success when Goldtrix covered her sexually enticing “It’s Love (Trippin’),” which hit #1 on the charts. Then she added a remix of “He Loves Me / Lyzel In E Flat” as the hidden track on her 2-disc set Experience 826+. Now, she is releasing a full-out remix album titled The No. 1 Lady Remixed slated for a September release. Let’s hope there is a single that comes along with it and a couple of Miguel Migs’ remixes, because they go very well together.

Far, her new album, is like the one before it. It’s has a couple of promising tracks and a chunk of boring tracks. This song is not making waves whatsoever. It’s mediocre and too melancholy to go commercial.
Is the US to blame for Iran unrest?

The dire situation in Iran looks like it’s not going to end anytime soon. Following Neda Soltani’s graphic death and many more violent outbursts in the streets of Tehran, the people still seem adamant on getting their votes counted and counted correctly. As we see with revolutions, there has to be a valid and clear reason for people to stand up against a tyrannic government. When you’ve lost all hope and take to the streets that’s when it all happens. But, the media is portraying this as a purely domestic issue and world leaders are not addressing the issue because they fear their words would skew the train of the thought in the Iranian streets. But, in actuality, this issue is an international one and had former world leaders not interfered in Iranian affairs this wouldn’t all be happening.
