Even in midtempo, the legendary Whitney Houston cracked the code. Lovely song. ”My Love Is Your Love” is a 1999 song by American R&B singer Whitney Houston. Released as the fourth single off Houston’s album of the same name, it peaked at #4 in the U.S., #2 on the U.S. R&B chart, and #2 in the U.K. It was later certified platinum by the RIAA.
Along with the original mid-tempo reggae-influenced version that was produced by Wyclef Jean, a dance remixed version by Jonathan Peters was also released. The single was extremely successful worldwide, hitting the Top Ten in nearly two dozen international markets. At over three million units sold globally, it stands as Houston’s third most successful single, after “I Will Always Love You” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)“.
What a song! ”I’m Your Baby Tonight” is the lead single and title track from Whitney Houston‘s third studio album of the same name. The song was written and produced by L.A. Reid andBabyface.The single features a B-side, “Feels So Good”, which has not been featured on any Whitney Houston album. While the original version, produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, was released in the United States, the Yvonne Turner mix (also known as the “Europe Version”), was released in other countries. Houston was nominated for “Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female” with this track at the 33rd Grammy Awards in 1991.
USA’s incumbent President Barack Obama has compiled a cool 28-track Spotify playlist to soundtrack his up coming election campaign.The official mixtape, which you can check out here, features songs from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Florence and the Machine, No Doubt, U2, Wilco and Arcade Fire.
Only a few people are brave enough to channel 80s’ MOR Rock to conjure up a hit these day, but Gotye is a force to reckon with. The Australian rocker has embarked on a venture to channel the best sounds of The Police, Phil Collins and Mike + The Mechanics and come up with a unique sound for his new album Making Mirrors. This track is the one making most waves. It’s a great number with a hint of lyrical nostalgia. It’s a stark ballad that teeters between a sombre ode to lost love to a brighter look into the future.

There are songs that take a while to grab you from the chest, shake you a little bit and then drop you. There are others that don’t take a minute. Tennis’s “Petition” is not even a single, but it has a chorus that can be your anthem for months and months to come. The duo who gave you the lustrous “Marathon” are back with a second album titled Young & Old and this is one of the greatest songs on it. It’s scrumptious enough to make you drool. Yes, we’ve had a little Grigio, but still the chorus will knock your socks off. Try it.
While Madonna’s performance has its ups, downfalls and an “almost fall,” the real star of the Superbowl was none other than M.I.A., who shocked every conservative American parent in the bible belt by flipping her finger in the middle of her rap during Madonna’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” No word on whether it was intended, but it was fast, yet sexy. Knowing Madonna’s work ethic, it would properly piss her off had it been unannounced. You know? How dare she upstage Madge!
Sam Sparro has a new album coming our soon called Return To Paradise. It’s been a while since he hit it big last, but the buzz singles like “Pink Cloud” and “Yous A Nasty” are even better than the previous singles, which is why we are so excited for this project!
Santigold announced that the follow-up of Santogold would be out in spring 2012. It was recorded in part in Jamaica. She described her forthcoming album as “sonically eclectic but with some epic curveballs thrown into the mix”. We waited and waited. I have a song called “The Keepers”: “we’re the keepers, while we sleep in America our house is burning down”. ”Big Mouth,” the first track and video from the album was issued in late just a week ago. So, click below for the name of the new album!
Legendary blues singer Etta James, who is most famous for her rendition of “At Last,” has passed away. Etta is one of the movers and shakers of pop history and no diva is the same without her legacy. Beyonce played her in Cadillac Records (Not to Etta James’ liking) and she revolutionized her genre to another level. Sad to hear of her passing. She has passed away at the age of 73.
This is the third time Emily King has scored a “Sexy Track” from the same EP, Seven, which means you should get it now! In the same mood as the other ones, including “Ever After” and “Georgia,” but this is a slower grower, if it makes any sense. It’s a sombre-toned number soaking in agony and what feels like a dab of remorse. In keeping with the mood of the disc, yet not too overwhelming drab in melancholy essence.
Now that they took down Megaupload, it’s time for action. We’re all here having a good time posting, reposting, sharing, tweeting, emailing, uploading, retweeting and rejoicing. But, the corporate demagogues are out to get the people again. Read more here about the dirty world of internet censorship and help keep the world wide web a place for freedom to run wild.

Just when we episodically forgot about the lovely Joan Osborne, we are sent a link to some great news. The “One Of Us” singer is ready to give the world more music and more covers, which is what she is well-known for. This time her new album Bring It On Home, is a collection of blues classics. The first single is now out on iTunes. It’s called “Shake Your Hips.” Let’s hope it packs the punch!
The ever-so-risque Scissor Sisters are going to take on Yas Island! The chart topping band will be bringing their widely loved and infectious dance floor anthems to the FLASH Forum this January. Known for their humorous and often controversial performances, the band’s unique mix of disco, New York electro and good old fashioned Elton John-era rock n’ roll is widely loved right across the globe. I wonder how they will do the gold leotards in the UAE.
Twitter’s #1 trending topic worldwide right now is Jon Bon Jovi. The rumor is that the “Chelsea Girl” singer is dead. No news yet that is official and a part of us feels like some people could have phonetically mistake the lead singer of Bon Jovi with Kim Jong Il. Maybe? What do you think. I hope he didn’t pass away.
UPDATE: He’s not.
Me 2! Can't believe Jon Bon Jovi is DEAD! He was such a sweetheart in real life! RT @doronofircast: I am devastated! fb.me/1eJFI3ais—

To: Alana Davis, her band and Co.
We the undersigned fans and loving devotees of Alana Davis, respectfully ask Davis to release an album as soon as possible. We have waited and waited for a long time to no avail. Not only that, but no news on the musical career of Alana Davis has come our way in ages. The lovely melodies of Alana Davis came our way with the epic Blame It On Me, swept us further with Fortune Cookies and then gave us another dosage with Surrender Dorothy. Now, we are left addicted and yearning for more from one of the best and most underrated artists, singers and songwriters of our time. Great musicians are a rare commodity and we would hate to have Alana Davis’s music vanish from our lives. All we ask for is some more material as soon as possible. A single, EP, live album or (most preferbly) a full-length album would bring joy into our lives and soothe our consciousness. Please take the time out to consider our wishes, as we have been loyal fans since the beginning of your career.
Please take time out to sign this petition by leaving your name, email in the comments section below.
Apparently, M.I.A. has allegedly informed all that Madonna has summoned her to come to New York City to work with her and Nicki Minaj. Some say that it will be for the single rework of “Give Me All Your Love,” which is stolen from Nicola Roberts’ “Beat Of My Drum,” if you ask us. Other says its for the remixes of the song. At any rate, we are glad that Madonna is stealing from M.I.A. because she might as well steal from greats. At any rate, we hope she doesn’t suck her soul. Click here to read more.
The Tings Tings are trying to make room for their sophomore album, but so far everything the have been released isn’t up to par to their striking debut. This dance song is neither here nor there and the earlier “Hands” sounds like a B-Side from their older singles. It’s just not the same, this is quite excruciating to listen to.
