This is as fresh as they come. This video just debuted and Loft965.com is bringing it to you first! Will Young’s new album, which we really haven’t given the time it needs to listen to, Echoes has spawned another single and it features a dog show!
Sexy Track: “Princess Of China” by Coldplay & Rihanna
1
To ensure that their fifth album is a success, after critics have insinuated on their songs being redundant in style, Coldplay have brought in the big guns to ensure at least two hits on the album, considering the first single will be set aflame no matter what it sounds like. So, Rihanna came in on one of the better tracks on the album to lay her vocals on a track by a band known for their melodies more than they are for their pipes. The result is a strongly structured song with poignant lyrics and pop zing. Coldplay should consider hiring vocalists for their music as it seems to work very well on this one. Now, imagine if “The Scientist” was warbled by Jill Scott!

Video Premiere: “Hang It Up” by The Ting Tings
2Is it just us or is this purely horrid. This is a hot mess. We expected more from The Ting Tings who delivered a great debut album. But, the two tracks that we got from them (“Hands” and “Hang It Up”) are just not up to par. So sad to see We Started Nothing followed by this balderdash.

Oh Land performs “White Nights” live!
This has got to be one of our favorite songs of the year. She does a good job at it while on tour. We know she is busy supporting Katy Perry on tour, but she needs to build more buzz because it kind of died down, didn’t it?
Chirp: Beyonce’s “End Of Time” video!
All these @Beyonce videos are popping up and it's great, but she better be keeping the "End Of Time" video for the end!—

Pink’s impromptu performance at Sleep No More!
1P!nk has been away taking care of her baby, but she went out recently to shows us just how great her vocal prowess is. Here, Pink was in the audience and felt the urge to go on stage and sing. Lovely little video.
First Listen: “Le Bump” by Yolanda Be Cool featuring Crystal Waters

The dance group that got you the highly infectious, yet absurdly-overplayed “We No Speak Americano” are back with another track that slightly missed the summer. To ensure its success, the band got dance-dive extraordinaire Crystal Waters to provide vocals on the track. Click below to listen to it.
Kelly Clarkson performs “Mr. Know It All” on X-Factor!
5We are not the biggest fans of Kelly Clarkson, but we think she has some strong numbers. Upon recommendation from our fellow bloggers we gave her new leaked album a stream or two and we have to say it isn’t so bad after all. We like “Stronger,” it’ll probably be the next single.

4From what we have heard, this project seems like a stellar one. It will probably take you to the island in the Thames where Kate Bush lives. Excited!

After three years and more in operation, your favorite (we hope) music source is getting a little facelift. We have been in the process of choosing and plugging in a new look for our little blog here and it will be up shortly. Of course, tell us what you think once the changes take place, miss sugar. “Often imitated, never duplicated” – MC.
Video Premiere: “Hello Hello” by Bic Runga
2The stupendous Bic Runga is back after a long break from the music industry with this cute, yet loud number. She’s gone all rock on this one, but we hope it’s just the buzzy first single as we love the mellow Runga on “I’m Leaving” and “Say After Me.” At any rate, the new album will be out soon and its called Belle.
Keyshia Cole calls new album “Woman To Woman,” gives preview!

Keyshia Cole is not stopping anytime soon even if her last album, Calling All Hearts, didn’t do as well as its predecessors. The new album Woman To Woman is set to drop sometime in February 2011. Cole started development on this project shortly after her 2010 release, Calling All Hearts. She has disclosed that she was working with writer Ester Dean. She has also collaborated with producers Boi-1da, Cool & Dre, and Toxic. This is Cole’s first album to be released without A&R Executive Ron Fair. Cole says this album is not like any other album she has released becoming her most evolved album thus far. Cole has stated that she would like to have R&B singers Brandy and Monica on this album. She also tweeted that long awaited collaborator Trey Songz would likely be on the album.
