Again: Music For February: Huesome
2
Some compilations are to please others and some are to please us. This one’s to please both. It’s February and the winter’s getting ready to say bye, this, taken into consideration, has given birth to a mixture of flavors that appear on this compilation. It has its loud beats, but also its simmering slow numbers. Another one of those compilations that caters to everyone. Although it encapsulates many different genres, only the tracks that get our approval were allowed onto the disc. Huesome meanders into all nuanced genres we visit fairly often here. Many of our favorite tracks made it on this one, so be sure to give each song a spin. Now, enjoy.

Adele has a sex tape!
The internet is rife with rumors that Adele has a sex tape with her ex floating around. You know, the alleged ex that inspired 21′s heartbreak songs. Well, he is seeking revenge now and some French blogger has announced that the snapshot pictures from the tape will be up on his blog tomorrow. That is sad news to know that its beyond her concept that the will be published. But this sheds light on the conspicuous tweet she tweeted recently saying “I hate the paparazzi.” Say it isn’t so!
Monica and Brandy perform “It All Belongs To Me” on Leno!
We understand that “The Boy Is Mine” was such a great success, but did they really have to follow it with a mediocre collaboration. It should have been higher in tempo and more snappy, we think.

Lana Del Rey overwhelmed by fans!
1This is what happens when you shoot to super stardom. You don’t know who the real fans are and who the autograph collectors/mongers are. She seems overwhelmed by it all.
Cheryl Cole readying release of third album!
Girls Aloud member and celebrity in her own right, Cheryl Cole, is going to release a new album! Yes, this is sad news for Girls Aloud fans who want the girls to get back together, but it seems Cheryl Cole cares more fore her solo career at this point and it doesn’t look like she is going to reconcile with Nadine Coyle anytime soon. The new album is done and ready to go out. let’s hope it’s better than Messy Little Raindrops! I still can’t get over the absurdity of the title.
Yesss.! The album is DONE !!! *dancing all over the place* I'm Soooo HAPPY and EXCITED to share with you !! #CherylMusic on its way.. Booyaa—
