LeToya Luckett surprised everyone when her debut album LeToya debuted at the top spot in the US charts. So much so that the wait for the second album intensified due to the speculation that she might ring up another number one, a feat that Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles wish for. So, her second album Lady Love has come out this week and the numbers are looking grim.
What a breath of fresh air this is. Kylie Minogue is looking as lush as ever. She sounds great and I hope she has more parts in the movie. Kylie is one of the few divas that actually branches out on a limb to try new things and she always gets it right. I cant wait for Blue to debut.
Unfortunately, the second single from Mariah Carey’s new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is going to be the cover of the big-hair Foreigner ballad “I Want To Know What Love Is” from their Agent Provocateur album. This comes as a surprise because originally it was thought to be “100%,” which is a “We Belong Together”-esque ditty. If you ask me, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. Firstly because cover versions don’t fair well in US markets (Mariah has had only one cover version go to #1 in the US and it was her rendition of the Jackson 5′s “I’ll Be There.”)
This comes interestingly close and after “Better Than Prince” by Flairs. It’s not their best work and the beats sound outdated. But, the concept is cute, to say the least. Their peak was with the remix of Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman.”
Some stupid conservatives somewhere in the world bought their kids some candy and now they’re screaming “Apocalypse!” Apparently the parents were enraged that the lime was “having sex” with a lemon and, at times, to two cherries. They were saying that the lime’s expression was very suggestive. Now tell me, who is perverted? I have come to the realization that conservatives are just good at hiding things and only use “morals” to alleviate their self-hatred. It’s a lime. Get over yourself.
Alright. So, we dug in a little and found out that the video for the new single is out today. We thought it was worth a mention. Thoughts?
Solid songs and sounds
Swedish teeny bop gone folk
makes for pretty Sundays
Nollywood is Nigeria’s Hollywood. Or, we should say, Nigeria’s Bollywood. Surprisingly the lesser heard-of Nollywood is actually one of the biggest industries on earth. Not only that, but it has also surpassed Hollywood in the number of titles released per year. It comes in at second place after Bollywood. Hollywood is at number three.
She is releasing videos left and right. This would be the fourth single then, if we count by video. I think she’s just having a field day and making a visual for a bunch of songs. I Feel Cream has enough bangers for her to do a couple more.
Contemplating going to a deserted island for a couple of years? Living somewhere were food scarce? th south pole, perhaps? Well scientists have found away to store crispy bacon strips for a decade without it rotting and, the special thing is, it doesn’t need a fridge. It just stays in that can for years on end of your disposal! Tactical Bacon is the newest in a range of long-life products. It has a shelf-life of a decade.
Yeah, the performance is heinous. And we also think they’re crap. She can’t dance, she can’t sing and her clothes look like a Wal-mart knock-off of Britney’s old VMA performance outfit.
Yes, that is the one and only true queen of pop Kylie Minogue in the studio with Calvin Harris and Scissor Sisters front gay Jake Shears. They are doing some sort of collaboration that is bound to tantalize and eroticize. Last time Shears and Kylie did something together they released the greatest song never released (I am still crying there is no studio version for “White Diamonds”). And the last time Calvin Harris worked with Kyles was on X, where he produced the worst song on the album (“Heart Beat Rock”) and the best song on the album (“In My Arms”). I can’t wait to see what they have been up to.
Britney’s really into her bikinis these days. I wonder if she is performing at the VMA’s this time.
The Postmarks are a pop band from Miami, Florida. Their self-titled LP was released in February 2007 and has been met with critical acclaim from Rolling Stone and Spin, as well as Pitchfork Media and a host of other music blogs. The group was discovered by Andy Chase of Ivy and subsequently released on his Unfiltered Records label. Before the release of the album, an EP of remixes was released on iTunes featuring remixes by James Iha, Brookville, Roger O’Donnell, Tahiti 80 and more. Their new album is called Memoirs At The End Of The World and it will be out soon. Visit their website for more information.
Nothing much going on here. We abhor Akon. We think David Guetta used to be good, but not so much now. The lyrics are appalling and the music video is blah. But this will probably be played in all the hetty places for a year or two.
For people who like to travel to places that are not London-Paris-Rome or the like, this is the greatest little thing ever invented. It’s a travel straw for your drinks incase you feel the ice was made from contaminated water or for places where bottled water pass particles resting in the bottom (Hello Batam, Indonesia). It purifies while you sip. So it’s easy peasy. Anyway, click for the info.
Bomb In A Birdcage is a grower. Although I expected it to be of lower tempo, it works just fine. She’s like the Gossip lite. This first single doesn’t really do the album justice, but has a cute little vid.
