Video Premiere: “The Shallow End” by Sam Sparro
Sam Sparro has a new album coming our soon called Return To Paradise. It’s been a while since he hit it big last, but the buzz singles like “Pink Cloud” and “Yous A Nasty” are even better than the previous singles, which is why we are so excited for this project!

Sexy Track: “Forget” by Lianne La Havas
When your career is built on sombre music, it’s very hard to catapult your career onto worldwide attention. The first single you put out has to be relevant in sound, yet descriptive of your direction as an artist and not a fluffy number as you might run the risk of attracting the wrong audience. Very few artists have managed to capture that feeling and maintain a career in melancholy music. Think of what “Luka” did to Suzanne Vega’s career, or Tracy Chapman’s first record. Here, Lianne La Havas does that. “Forget” is a midtempo number with all the vigor of subdued melody. It’s chorus is probably one of the most heated screams of emotion you’ll hear in a while. It makes you feel like the singer is going through heaps of anguish and is having a hard time setting the past aside. It’s a strong track that is packed with deep sentiment.

Introducing… Jess Mills
We are slowly loving this new artist. We featured her earlier and she grew and grew and grew. Jess Mills has earned her night world stripes, clocking up countless hours in nightclubs and raves around the world ever since she first discovered the delights of smoky, sweaty clubs in the heady garage times of the late ’90s. The North Londoner, who scored a top 40 hit with Breakage on ‘Fighting Fire’, and who has just returned from a stint on tour with Leftfield, was a self-confessed ‘teenage garage head’ criss-crossing London’s nocturnal hotspots with rave spar Niomi McLean-Daley, aka Ms Dynamite.
Mills and Ms Dynamite would go to all the big garage raves, and all the dingy, divey ones, in the days before the latter started the journey that culminated in her 2002 Mercury Music Prize win with ‘A Little Deeper’. Despite the garage foundation, Mills was always in possession of a multi-musical mind: she’d be out till dawn raving to EZ or Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown, then getting ready for school the next morning with The Smiths or Fleetwood Mac or old Motown songs blaring out of her bedroom stereo.
Video Premiere: “Elephant” by Alexandra Burke
Alexandra Burke is on her sophomore era and she better bring it. The British neodiva is ready to take it on and this sound is a great mixture between R&B and current dance formula popularized by David Guetta. It’s a strong track, the video’s OK.

Video Premiere: “Better Than I Know Myself” by Adam Lambert
1Adam Lambert’s back to his Middle-America MOR balderdash. This might do well for Kelly Clarkson, but not him. Let’s hope there are better track on the album Trespassing.
