There was a time when hip hop was headed somewhere, where the sound and melody mattered as much the rhymes. Also, there was a time when it was a more collaborative effort with R&B and Soul artists. This is one gem of the time that resonated through.

Giggles: Rendition of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” on the subway!
1Yeah, we know that feeling when you vocalize with earphones and think you are the shiznit,but you are a disaster!

Legendary: “Girl From The Gutter” by Kina
1This former Brownstone member launched her solo career with a great track and then meandered into oblivion. This was a strong rock anthem, the time it came out and the lyrics are so powerful and simple. She didn’t look bad either. We wonder where she is now.
Legendary: “Chelsea Morning” by Joni Mitchell
1Sometimes when all new music fails you, old tunes will revive that dying sombre ghost inside each and every one of us. This is one of Joni Mitchell’s classics. This is a particularly beautiful live performance done for the BBC.

Lovely cover of Nicola Roberts’ debut Cinderella’s Eyes. We give it a 8/10. Click below for the track listing of the album, which already has a hit single.
Watch Beyonce’s “4″ ad for Target!
1This is funny, because Mediafire gave you the album before Target and if its the bonus tracks she is talking about, they are coming slowly but surely. Also, when did she “take time out.” She has been working non-stop. Lovely album, though.
Legendary: “Cool” by Gwen Stefani
1In celebration of Gwen Stefani’s solo career ending, we are salvaging the only good single that came out of that stint that started strong and ended very weakly. To us, “Cool” is the epitome if her solo efforts. Lovely, not so noisy and smooth.

We actually don’t know where this blog got this from, but its all over. It’s not new to us. Mariah’s Rainbow cover was turned from David LaChappelle sex-candy chic into an advert for a nursery. But at any rate, here is Rihanna modified by official to look like for us the people.

One of our all-time favorite mood music bands Undersea Poem have released an 8-track EP without telling anyone. We came across this by mistake and found it to be as scintillating as their debut album. Click here to head over to iTunes to purchase the EP.
Video Premiere: “Awooga” by Calvin Harris
1We’re afraid Calvin Harris abandoned his disco finesse with banal rave beats. This is definitely not his best work and, if the is the direction he is headed, we don’t want to hear anymore of him.
