Amanda Blank is the new kid on the block. Other than the fact that her beats are lush with attitude that she is ushering in a whole bunch of comparisons with M.I.A., Santogold, Peaches and Gwen Stefani, she also happens to rap and write some snazzy lyrics with mean drop-beats. Her album comes out this month and it’s titled I Love You. And the synth-glam anthem “Might Like You Better” is making the rounds around the internet. Keep an eye out for Amanda Blank and we will keep you posted. Click below for the song:

Touching. They both were icons of a very special time of pop music. I wonder if this is just for the 02 arena or an on-going thing for the rest of her extra “leg” of the tour. She must’ve really loved him, or just wants the attention. Keep in mind this is the same woman who formerly refused to appear in Michael’s “In The Closet” video unless Jackson appeared with her in public in complete drag.

Mariah’s movie Precious has just gotten another revamp for mainstream audiences and the awards season. Now that it’s funded by none other than Oprah, it needs to make an impact both at the box office and the critics’ hearts. I think it looks more appealing than this.

Even if this is yet another blame-the-woman-for-the-man’s-infidelity ditties, we likes it. She is bringing the fierceness on big-time. The dance routine is sex and the beat is working. The album, Lady Love, has been pushed back, probably because the lead single and equally-scrumptious song “Not Anymore” didn’t build-up enough interest. So, we get two singles before the release. Last time she managed to get to #1 on the Billboard Album charts, which means she has a lot of buyers.

Florence + The Machine got the Brit award for upcoming music star or something like that. Last year, the first year on offer, Adele won it. Those are some big shoes to fill. I have generally stayed away from talking about the band because I haven’t had enough music of theirs to listen to. But, now that the album is out. I can say that the lead single is nothing to go by. Lungs is a loud multi-layered effort of an album. Unique and robust vocals laid upon beats of instrumental tumult. They are the type of band that might not be successful on the singles chart, but can definitely garner a fan base on the sonic mood of their album. Even if the album format is dying.
