Marina + The Diamonds are back to what they do – Pop-tinged rock. This is the second single of off her new project, set to be called Electra Heart. “Starring Role” is not that great to our ears, though fans of the genre will swoon over it. Click below to listen to it.
This just takes our heart and takes it to levels that are beyond metaphysics.
Kelly Rowland’s new album is a hodgepodge of R&B and Dance music – a fine line to walk. That is clearly to satisfy her old fans and her post-David Guetta fans. This one is for the dance heads who only listen to tracks if they have remixed heavily. Keeping in my that Kelly ventured into dance way before Guetta summoned her for a track with “Work,” this is a natural evolution of this strut. A palpable track with a Hi-NRG mentality and slutty lyrics to keep you singing out loud for the rest of the winter. Kelly hit it big time with this one!
2011 is Selena Gomez’s year. The Scene have catapulted their music onto the pop world and left their mark. Although we think songs like “Bang Bang Bang” and “My Dilemma” should have been singles before this one, this track, a little too Katy Perry for our taste, is ready for the radio. We like her.
Rebecca Black is trying to branch out from YouTube sensation to pop domination. But, this has less “of interest” and more of MOR.
The legendary Miss Britney Spears took her highly critically-acclaimed Femme Fatale Tour to Abu Dhabi this past weekend (11/11/11) as part of the F1 formula opening ceremony, and LOFT965.com had an exclusive press pass to give you all the inside details of what went down. It is safe to say that Britney spears has still got it, is using it and will probably have it for a long time to come. She certainly rocked the stage, and is probably going to earn her thrown as the queen of Abu Dhabi with her amazing, eye-popping, flashy dancing, and eye spectacle of a tour!
Upon arrival, it was clear that Yas Arena, where the concert was being held, seemed pretty packed. You always know if a concert is going to be good just by looking at the crowed. Doors opened for the show at 7:00 pm, and when inside there were two female DJ’s that took the stage and started playing some pretty decent dance tracks to hype up the crowed. Having a press pass gave me the privilege of being in the fan pit and very close to the stage, which was perfect because I was afraid the photos I would take wouldn’t come out clear due to distance, however they turned out to be good. At exactly 8:30 pm the girls on stage thanked the crowed and yelled if we are ready for Britney? The answer they received was very clear; “HELL YES WE WERE!!” A screen came on stage with Britney’s Femme Fatale album cover and had a countdown set for 30 minutes. With every passing minute the crowd grew bigger, and the anticipation got higher. The countdown came to 10 seconds with the crowd chanting out till zero and when it reached 00:00 minutes the infamous “It’s Britney, Bitch” was heard and the stage was lit up with hot pink neon words that flashed “Femme Fatale.” The crowd went wild – myself included!

The show begins with a video introduction in which Britney is arrested by the police after a chasing sequence. As she says “I’m not that innocent”, the video screens part and she appears sitting on a metallic throne in a silver costume to perform “Hold It Against Me.” The show is divided in five segments, and portrays a story in which Britney is a secret agent, who is chased by a stalker. The first section features her escaping from prison along with other female inmates. The second segment displays upbeat dance numbers and ends with a performance inspired by Marilyn Monroe (Amazing!). The third section features an Egyptian theme with fireworks and acrobatics. The fourth segment displays energetic routines and motorcycle costumes. The encore begins with a video interlude of Britney capturing the stalker, and is followed by two performances in which she defeats a group of ninjas.
Little did we know that the head diva was going to market her last album Merry Christmas II You once again this year post-delivery. It’s also a great treat to know that our favorite song on the album “When Christmas Comes” is getting a release with John Legend. It’s a throwback original Mariah song with a lot of soul for the season. It would be great if this song got an extra festive video. It looks like it’s going to be another Mariah Carey Christmas, like all the rest of the were! Click here to be forwarded to a site not affiliated with the blog to merely investigate the leak.
