Phaiton’s mini noise-cancelling headphones

3

Noise Canceling headphones don’t necessarily have to be those clunkers you’re slightly embarassed to take out of your bag…or too lazy to deal with taking with you! Phiaton offers another great alternative to the larger, over the head noise canceling headphones with their new PS 20 NC headphones. These little guys have a portable, in-ear design with noise canceling that blocks out 95% of the noise around you…all for $180 when they hit the market in the coming months.

Goldfrapp album “Head First” has leaked!

Goldfrapp’s highly-anticipated return-to-form of an album Head First has taken the leak. Yes, the album is now out all over the internet. Maybe a sad day for Goldfrapp, or maybe the start of a new area. But, the album that contains the lead single “Rocket” has been probably one of the most waited-on album of the new decade as of now. Click here to investigate further.

The album’s a-buzzing. Everyone is waiting to have a listen. Head First is supposed to be a return to form. By that, we mean she ditched folktornica for lush synth dance. But, if “Rocket” is anything to go by, the new album is nothing to look forward to. Yet, we are sure there is a gem or two.

Goldfrapp readies up new album “Head First”

“Genre-smashing musical pioneers Goldfrapp announce their brand new album Head First to be released through Mute on March 23, 2010. This will be preceded by the fantastic new single ‘Rocket’ on March 9th. Head First is Goldfrapp’s most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.  The duo’s fifth album, Head First is written and produced by band mates Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was recorded throughout 2009 in Bath and in London.”

Goldfrapp are set to debut their first single off of their new album Head First. “Rocket” is a return to form, but still a different direction. It’s less experimental dance and more club ready. The artwork’s a bit La Roux, though. Click below to listen to the track. (Thanks Jorge for the heads up).

We are super excited about the original Lady GaGa’s new album. Goldfrapp might not have concentrated on the artwork too much (it looks too Little Boots for our taste), but we are sure the content will be a return to form. Let’s hope “Rocket” makes the download rounds real soon.

New Goldfrapp album expected in March 2010 titled “Head First”

Goldfrapp is working hard at the studio to produce her latest and, some mights say, greatest. In March we will be introduced to another rough of electropop that is less Seventh Tree and more Supernature.  According to her record label, the album will be a “speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance.” We can’t wait for it as Goldfrapp was the only shock of music glam we had pre-GaGa. Read more.

The album wars: Mariah Carey vs. Madonna

mariah-vs-madonna

Mariah Carey has pushed back her album to make room for a second single and now she is going head-to-head with Madonna. Mariah had to postpone Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to ready up a ballad single and to avoid messing up Whitney Houston’s comeback. Meanwhile, Madonna fans are quick to point out that “Obsessed”  was a flop because it peaked at #11 and didn’t break the top 10 completely omitting the fact that Madonna last three singles didn’t even break the top 50. “Celebration” is currently sitting pretty at glorious and successful #71. Madonna wishes she has an “Obsessed” position. You know she loves commercial success no matter how much she compromises her musical integrity.
