Ani DiFranco’s album “¿Which Side Are You On?” has leaked!

This could be one of the best days of 2011! Ani DiFranco’s seventeenth (Yes, 17th!) studio album has been released to the public and made its way online. This marks the longest hiatus Ani DiFranco has taken in her prolific career. This one is called ¿Which Side Are You On?. We are already on the 3rd track and loving every bit. Of course we spend a lot of time on YouTube scavenging live sets, so we know some of the songs. But, we could already tell she is concentrating on the melodic side of this more on this one. Click here to visit an unaffiliated website to investigate the leak. As Ani DiFranco would say: “Unauthorized reproduction, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing.”

The amazing visual architecture behind Lana Del Rey’s imaging is the sole purpose this singer is going to conquer the airwaves in 2012! Lana is unlike any other, she is a pop signer that sings slow haunting tracks with lazy vocals and an old hollywood charm.

Lana Del Rey performs “Born To Die” live by the poolside of Chateau Marmont

Whatever she is doing, she is tapping on the right spot. What the world now needs is not an overproduced artist, but a stripped-down young-in with a great voice and 21st century mysticism that lacks in today’s popstar. Also, it helps if you look atrociously hot.

Lady Gaga’s new 13 minute music video for “Marry The Night” – the next single from Born This Way – has leaked in full on Twitter. Unfortunately, the YouTube version is not out so we will forward you to one of our favorite blogs run by our friend. About the video, high-drama, pushing too many ideas in at once and fire. Typical.

Regina Spektor is back with a set of new songs to be releases sometimes May 2012. The new album is called What We Saw From The Cheap Seats.

We’re trying to get everything ready for it to come out in May (but I will share some stuff before then for sure!).”

Video Premiere: “Painted Love” by Air

The uploader has made this video not available in my country because apparently they are so eager to break the Kuwaiti market when they get to it, or they just lump up everyone not from where they are or not a huge market for western music like the US and the UK. Nonetheless, we love the band, so we want to give the chance to some of our international readers to see it. Tell us how it goes.

Video Premiere: “Our Day Will Come” by Amy Winehouse

by Beats, Brit Brit Brit, Clip • Tags: , , , , , , ,

Posthumously, Amy Winehouse is still rocking! This is a new song from the quickly put-together album of unreleased material called Lioness: Hidden Treasures. The song sounds like a cut from the Back To Black era. It’s all taken from snippets of her previous videos and then some still to zoom into. It looks like a VH-1 Behind The Music documentary. Let’s hope the unleash some unseen footage next time around.

Video Premiere: “Touch Me” by Electric Lady Lab

Danish artists Electric Lady Lab are paying homage to their neighbors. The band’s newest video for their single “Touch Me” is an ode to Norwegian rockers A-ha, with all the pencil-sketching inspired by synth-pop relic, “Take On Me.” The song, however, is not as great as their previous offerings, but we will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Video Premiere: “Hip Hop Spa” by Fatima Al Qadiri

Fatima Al Qadiri is doing more music and this is her latest video. The YouTube description explains: “Hip Hop Spa posits an uncanny parallel between the luxurious solitary confinement of a spa experience and the introspective image of prison solitary confinement often presented in contemporary, genre specific, Hip Hop cultural product. Solitary subconscious is the experience of virtual age Hip Hop culture. The track expands the lexicon of the genre, while questioning the general public’s consumption of rap and hip hop aesthetics.”

We ♥ Lana Del Rey

by Beats, Love • Tags: , , , , , , ,

Soko tweeted her disapproval of a singer named Lana Del Rey on twitter and we couldn’t help but YouTube her. What we found is an unsurpassed beauty with great pipes and haunting lyrics administrated with lazy vocals. A potent and somewhat new formula for her kind a music – a fusion between old-hollywood glamor with a strong jazz sensibility. After listening to “Yayo” and “Video Games” we have fallen in love with this lovely singer. She carries herself with poise and is not afraid to challenge the ideals of vocal rules with her sound. Genre cross-breads rarely sound so scrumptious and when they do they break new ground in the pop world, like what Amy Winehouse did. We look forward to hearing from Lizzy Grant, her real name.

Video Premiere: “Hang It Up” by The Ting Tings

Is it just us or is this purely horrid. This is a hot mess. We expected more from The Ting Tings who delivered a great debut album. But, the two tracks that we got from them (“Hands” and “Hang It Up”) are just not up to par. So sad to see We Started Nothing followed by this balderdash.

We are not the biggest fans of Kelly Clarkson, but we think she has some strong numbers. Upon recommendation from our fellow bloggers we gave her new leaked album a stream or two and we have to say it isn’t so bad after all. We like “Stronger,” it’ll probably be the next single.

Exclusive: 5 Questions with Loft965.com: Hafdís Huld

by Beats, Chirp, Icelandia, Interrogation • Tags: , , , , , , ,

1. Greetings from Kuwait! Loft965.com picked “Pop Song” as a “Sexy Track” of 2011! How do you feel about that and what do you think the rest of the year holds for you?

 I am happy to hear that, thank you. I have to say I didn’t realize it was such a sexy song,  I thought it was just honest.  I think I  will be busy writing and recording my third album for the rest of the year. I will be releasing it in 2012. 

2. We are excited about the new album. What will it be called?

 I am still writing songs for the album so I haven’t decided on a name for it yet. I usually don’t name my albums until all the songs are ready.

3. What musical direction are you taking for your new album?

 At the moment it sounds like it’s going to be a pop album with a country and folky twist.  But that could change before the album is finished.

4. Are you going on tour? What will be your next single?

I won’t be going on tour until after christmas, but I hope to travel to lots of different places to play my new songs next year.  I don’t know what song will be my next single but I have two songs that are strong candidates. One about a scary house close to where I live and another about a very lucky boy.

5. We love quotes, what is your favorite quote or motto?

We have a lot of old sayings here in Iceland and some of them seem very strange, especially when they have been translated. One of my favorites is “Ég kalla nú ekki allt ömmu mína”  it translates as  “I don’t call just anything my grandmother .”  It means I don’t get scared easily.
