We have newfound respect for Nicola Roberts. After being the underestimated one from Girls Aloud she managed to release one of the best songs of the year and one of the best videos. Even the B-side to “Beat Of My Heart” was good. But, it looks like that is not the end of it. Nicola Roberts is allegedly working with glam-pop band Dragonette on her new solo album Cinderella’s Eyes. That’ some might good news.
Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud has gone and done it – she released one of the best pop songs of 2011. The lesser-known member of the group went solo with a great media campaign coupled with a pumping new song. “Beat Of My Drum” is a cheerleader’s dream without being to cheesy. It’s the natural continuation of progressive pop and Toni Basil’s legacy. From first listen, we were taken aback with this tune that has a chorus stronger than a tornado. This song will give you the right amount of energy for a festive summer.
This Girl Aloud’s new song is really growing on us. We like its spunky nature and the colors of the video! Let’s hope the rest of the album packs the same punch!
We are not the biggest fans of Rye Rye, but we do love us some premium Scandinavian pop from Robyn. This is a new collaboration between the two. No word on where it will be included. But, Robyn’s vocals are intact and if she is going to continue releasing those mini-albums, she better start collecting tracks. This is a remix of Robyn’s monumental track “Be Mine.” Click below to listen to the track.
Beyonce’s big first single is being sent to radio as we speak and it will available for download tomorrow. “Girls (Who Run This World)” will be all over the place and this is more of a warning than praise. Remember what happened to “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)?” What do you think about it?
Beyonce is readying her campaign for the highly-anticipated fourth album this summer. Still, who expected “Girls (Who Rule The World)” would leak that fast. We originally thought that Beyonce will release her album at the end of summer or even the very lucrative fourth quarter of the year. With the single surfacing, which won’t be replaced with another as the video is already made, the album might be pushed earlier. Also, if it was that easy of leak for Beyonce’s first single, which is usually the single the brings in the most moola, then how would it be for the other tracks. At any rate, this is just a prediction, but we intuitively feel it.
Our favorite Aussie, Sia Furler, has dished some news on the upcoming Beyonce project. Apparently, it’s almost done and ready to go. Click below for the dialogue.
Some new material from personal favorite Robyn has been hitting the internets. It’s a track allegedly done with Diplo titled “No Hassle,” with a great little reggae tint. Click for more information.
