Shakira has evolved into a Wolf

18oqrl

This is the new sleeve for her upcoming English album. She has always used animal or mythic imagery in her artwork. Last time it was the doe-eyed eve with child at hand. Her tour was named after a horse. She keeps it Amazon. It’s probably going to have a couple of stompers on their. I haven’t heard enough to know, but I know that she is an artist that has consistently delivered to some extent on albums. The cover’s simple yet strong and gets the point across.

Conservatives are empty and ashamed

Chris Crocker’s videos are getting banal with time but he is still right-on at times. This is nice little vlog on the usage of the word “conservative.” Really? what are they conserving? The surely want to drill holes everywhere. So, it’s not the environment. The really judge minorities and women. So, it’s not culture or diversity. Morals? Maybe. But. that is just a reflection of their intellect rather than a conservation of something relevant to humanity and it’s progress. The hateful people cover their judgements these days with that term. You want to be a conservative? Conserve human rights, the environment and love.

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:

Madonna pays tribute to Michael Jackson

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.

Must-Watch: Video: “She Ain’t Got Shit On Me” by LeToya

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 breathe high with Lungs

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.

Everyone has Michael fever. The top  10 catalog album are all jackson classics. The articles are in-depth and unbiased. from what I read (Newsweek and Q) and I can’ t wait for the Rolling Stone one.

Loft965.com is back, RIP MJ

t1wide.michael.jackson.05

We took a little break to honor Michael Jackson’s life and, also, because we happen to be in the our favorite city in the world. The big apple. The airport’s a good time for us to return. So, this is back in full force. We are still mourning Michael, but we will try to stay away from the gossip thats circulating around the Jackson name and just report and/or comment on the music and the legacy. Keep it coming!

Video: “Radar” by Britney Spears

1

This song skipped from Blackout and hopped onto Circus. She apparently liked it so much she had to have it on two albums. This is not new, in the 70s’ and 60s’ that used to happened. So, she is not capitalizing on some old glory. In fact, there are so many better songs on Circus like “Kill The Lights” that deserve a video and a release. Thought: where would Britney be flipping burgers if it weren’t for Micheal Jackson?
