We haven’t heard anything strong from the new album, but we are not dismaying it just yet. Her debut was packed with good songs, so we hope she hasn’t jumped the Ameriie way on this one. The second disc drops December 6th, 2011 and is called The MF Life.

Asa’s second disc
Beautiful Imperfection
Is just perfection.

Laura Marling performs “All My Rage” on Later with Jools Holland
1Laura Marling’s gone and taken the country tint a little more seriously, that’s why the album A Creature I Don’t Know hasn’t really stuck to our heads yet.

Must-Watch: Video Premiere: “Why Can’t We Be” by Asa
2We thought Asa’s debut album was stellar, but her sophomore effort is just perfect. Beautiful Imperfection is a great record filled with many releasable singles. “Why Can’t We Be” is definitely a highlight.
Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber to duet on christmas song!

Mariah Carey maybe the queen of the season, but here she is the queen of everything. Rumor is out that Mariah Carey is going to duet with teeny-bopper Justin Bieber on yet another christmas song. As if that wasn’t enough seasonal material from Mariah. We don’t see how this duet can go, but even her duet with Tony Bennett has a feeling of Yuletide. But, wait, we smell another number one and that makes us mucho happy!

1Rihanna announces new album title!

Rihanna is releasing albums so fast that sometimes its hard to distingiush which song came from which record off the top of our heads. The album is set to debut in November, the same day Michael Jackson’s Immortal and Mary J. Blige’s My Life II are slated to be released. But, something tells us that she will be topping the charts. Oh, and it’s called Talk That Talk.
Video Premiere: “No More Home, No More Love” by Soko
1Soko, who shot to hipster fame will the comedy-tinted “I’ll Kill Her,” is back with a full album and some lovely folk strums with her strong French accent. This is the new video for the buzz single for her new album which will be out on February 6th, 2012.

Video Premiere: “Shake It Out” by Florence + The Machine
1Ceremonials, Florence And The Machine’s second eagerly-awaited album, has landed. This is the first single and the first video. It looks like that “Amadeus” video from the 80s’. This looks like a promising start and is quiet lovely, we must say. It’s not that far of a stretch from Lungs, though.
Sexy Track: “Game Over” by Daley
1
Leave it to the UK to take soul elements that have always existed since the inception of the genre and recreate them into beautiful 21st century ditties without overproduction or glitz. Daley is the newest soul child on the scene. His voice is grandiose, his beats are fluttering and the overall composition is just mesmerizing. This is red-wine-in-the-sheets material although the lyrics are more of an ultimatum. It takes the basic essence of neosoul and merges it with a Britsoul tint. We will be hearing much more from Daley.
