Melancholia

Of dreary cover versions

Makes the heart sadder.

This still hasn’t grown on us at all. Like, at all.

Rumer is feeding the sudden hike in her career with a cover album titled Boys Don’t Cry. This is the second single off of the album. The album has leaked but will officially be out on May 28th, 2012.

Medina new English album has leaked all over the internet. Forever is the upcoming second english-language album by Danish singer Medina. It is set to be released on June 1, 2012 through EMI. The album consists of ten original songs and three translated songs from her third Danish album, For altid (2011): “Forever”, “Happening” and “Black Lights”. “Forever” was released as the album’s lead single on April 13, 2012.”Boring” was released as a promotional single on May 11, 2012 through iTunes Store. “Keep Me Hanging” was released as the second promotional single on May 18, 2012. “Waiting for Love” was released on May 25, 2012 as the third and final promotional single. Download it legally now.

This has big hit written all over not because its a good tune, but also because there are two powerhouses behind it. So, they can both secure another hit if not a #1. The video must be out of the world too.

“If there was a better way to go then it would find meI can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me. Be kind to me or treat me mean. I’ll make the most of it I’m an extraordinary machine”

- Fiona Apple

Girls Aloud are officially back in the studio with none other than Xenomania. The band is set to release something by the end of the year alongside a tour. The ladies are back, with the exception of Cheryl Cole who is out promoting her new Clavin Harris-produced single “Call My Name.” Cheryl will probably lay her vocals later as they are not needed anyway, considering the fact that Nadine Coyle is there.

Melanie C teamed up with Jodie Harsh to make an EP for all the club kids and dancing queens out there. This is a side project and it sounds like it will be received quite well. The EP is called The Night. Listen to “Set You Free” from the disc below.

Nelly Furtado is back with vengeance and she is still high on selling out. This sounds is very much like Loose and nothing like Folklore, but its not hard to dance to. Let’s see what comes out of The Spirit Indestructible.

Before you download, consider the fact that nothing we have heard from this project was to our liking. Yes, Garbage’s long-awaited new album Not Your Kind Of People has leaked all over the internet. The fifth album (for some reason fifth albums are all leaking today) is more rock than experimental alternative music.

This may not be the greatest quality, but you get the gist. This was the only embeddable option. She’s really grimacing, since it was SNL and she didn’t want to lip sync for her life.

Yuna is the only export from Malaysia we know that has the ability to break the world market. Her beats tackle issues of love lost and little emancipations. In this track, Yuna takes her folk strumming and combines it with the powers of Pharrell. Whenever Pharrell works with non-mainstream singers he does real well. Just inquire with Shea Seger. “Live Your Life” is beautiful lullaby strewn upon an intricate melody. It’s the perfect song to have brunch to. All kinds of cuteness in one tune.

Yes, this happened. Adele managed to outsell the best selling album of all time. The singer is currently atop the UK charts of all time. Her second album managed to outsell Michael Jackson in the mp3 age. Imagine what it could have done before file-sharing. But, then again maybe she would not have gotten as much exposure. What do you think.

Little Boots is riding the early 90s’ dance music coattails like Alphabeat previously did and like Sneaky Sound System are doing right now. The bit that sounds the most like that genre is the catchiest in the song. Its not bad for Little Boots.

Dragonette are back in full force and are ready to take over the world with their underrated pop. The Canadian trio are set to launch the yet-untitled album sometime this year. Watch out!
