Dan Black debuts “Un”

To keep up with the electro surge, one has to have Dan Black’s newly released album Un. The British electronica child released a surprisingly radio-friendly album following his stint in Glastonbury and his internet fame mashing up tracks. The debut single “Symphonies” is really not all that. He needs to step away from the Rihanna samples. But other tracks are quite good like “Alone” and “Cigarette Pack.” He is like a nice fusion between Frankmusik and Sam Sparro. All around, the album syncs well and has some growers. So, it’s exciting if they’ll catch one or wither away.

Alana Davis tracks with the Neptunes leak

1

As some of you might know, Alana Davis has taking a hiatus so long that she has escaped our heads for a tiny bit. She’s chilling in Jamaica now and the ganja must be slowing her down. But, a beautiful surprise has surfaced. There are two tracks named “Here Inside” and “New Glasses” that have made their way to YouTube during her sessions with the Neptunes. The latter track sounds like it has Pharrell on backing vocals. they are not good enough for an album but they could be a work-in-progress. Anyway, it’s hard to tell what album sessions they are from. I hope they are from the new one, but judging from Alana Davis’s newly indie mantra, they might either be from Fortune Cookies or one-offs before her split with Elektra. Anyway, any new material from Alana is welcome and we hope a new album is coming out soon. Does anyone know how to rip the track off of YouTube and into mp3 format?

Glad they didn’t use the picture that has been circulating around the internets for a while now. This is a great album cover for Whitney. It’s a declaration of maturity and sanity with a little pinch of diva thrown in. She looks like she is very astute and glamazon-esque. I Look To You is pointing at all the right directions. Also, the track listing has been announced. Click below for it.

Meterosexuality in Russia

2

The term meterosexuality never sat well. I mean it’s not a sexual orientation, why call it that? Just because men are taking care of themselves and happen not to be gay, why do they have t have a label? Like, they need in in order to differentiate themselves from the homo tag? In any case, glad Russia loosening up on its über-masculinity, if this is anything to really go by.
