Ani DiFranco performs “¿Which Side Are You On?” with Melissa Ferrick

1

We can’t tell you how beautiful 2012 will be just because Ani DiFranco’s new album, which had the longest hiatus precede it, is coming out on the 17th of January 2012. This is a cover, but Ani changed the lyrics a little bit  to fit the time. We love is some Ani. “A little socialism, don’t scare us one bit.” – gotta love it.

Must-Watch: Video Premiere: “When Christmas Comes” by Mariah Carey and John Legend

1

For some reason Mariah Carey decided to releases this just two weeks before the occasion. We had thought the she was going to leave it for the re-release of her album Merry Christmas II You in 2012. However, we are going to be very angry lambs if new non-seasonal material appears next year. Yes, we said it.

Alexandra Burke announces new single “Elephant”

Lana Del Rey performs “Born To Die” live by the poolside of Chateau Marmont

Whatever she is doing, she is tapping on the right spot. What the world now needs is not an overproduced artist, but a stripped-down young-in with a great voice and 21st century mysticism that lacks in today’s popstar. Also, it helps if you look atrociously hot.

Sexy Track: “Love After War” by Robin Thicke

1

Although the song does start sounding eerily similar to Mariah Carey’s “Can’t Let Go,” it takes a turn right after the first bars. The song is a signature Robin Thicke song. Making love is center stage to the plot of everything, but it still addresses prior dispute, which, in turn, invigorates the seduction flame. It’s a lovely cozy winter track with a great soul sensibility and an overwhelming dosage of sexy. It’s the opener to the new album and should serve as an example for the journey Thicke will take us on throughout the disc. There is no one quite like Robin Thicke right now and he’s a master at what he does.

Little Mix win X-Factor UK!

We really haven’t been watching the show, but we are glad a girl band won. We need as many girl bands on earth as possible, they only bring more and more joy. Let’s hope they produce so premium pop for the coming years. Starting off with a ballad, though – a no-no!
