LISTEN UP: Yuna 'I Wanna Go'



We previously posted about 26 year old Malaysian songbird YUNA about a year ago when we were first exposed to her music as the opening act for our girl Emeli Sande.

Her voice, songwriting and records struck a chord with us and we immediately ran to the lobby of the Williamsburg Hall of Music to purchase her STELLAR self-titled debut album.  Well YUNA is back with the first offering from her upcoming project and we love. Presenting 'I Wanna Go', plus a few bonus clips including a cover of NIRVANA... yes, you read that right.



Here's her cover of Nirvana's 'Come As You Are'

This Ain't Your Mother's Cheerlading Squad

Meet 'The Prancing Elites' of Mobile Alabama.

They don't do 'PEP' like your typical prissy cheerleader,  they twist and twerk and turn it OUT on the sidelines. The uniforms are quite tragic, and it's lacking in hairography, but they are serving.

...and they clearly are basing their routines on Beyonce's video catalog.


VIDEO PREMIER: Bruno Mars 'Treasure'


BRUNO MARS has already scored two Billboard #1 Hits from his AMAZEBALLS sophomore album 'Unorthodox Jukebox'; and now his going for his third. Peep the funky new clip for his latest single 'Treasure'. We Love!

STD (Shot of the Day)



Austalian Pop Goddess KYLIE MINOGUE is gearing up for the release of her new studio album, her first on Jay Z's 'Roc Nation' label. Not to worry folks, there will be no R&B/Hip Hop crossover for Miss Minogue.

Pop is her passion and her music's destiny is to make you dance. We're still swooning over her orchestral project 'The Abbey Road Sessions' which revisited her earlier work in epic form, but we're excited for her new project.

Kylie dropped her 'Skirt' a few weeks back as a birthday surprise, it's not an official single, we're not even sure if it will be on her new album. But it's a great 'BUZZ' track and now it has a hot lyric video to match. Peep it!

Tralier Premier: '300: Rise of an Empire'



BEHOLD!  The trailer for the prequel-sequel to the 2007 Spartan warrior film '300' has arrived ahead of it's spring 2014 bow. As the film is a takes place before the events of the former, expect a few crossover characters and of course LOTS of muscle, sweat and CGI. Original director Zack Snyder has to pass on directing in favor of helming 'Man of Steel', but his influence can still be felt as a producer.

The film bows March 7, 2014, but you can peep the trailer now!

LISTEN UP! Karmin 'Acapella'


New York City based due KARMIN made a big splash on the charts in 2012 with the breakthrough single 'Brokenhearted' which was followed up by their hit 'Hello'. Their FUNtastic sound is a fusion of hip-hop, dance and pop music that results in the kind of infectiousness that is meant to be the result of a great pop song.

KARMIN is wasting no time following up on their success by releasing their latest single 'Acapella'...and it may be our favorite yet. Give it a listen...

STD (Shots of the Day) Chrisette Michele 'Let Me Win'



Neo-Soul singer CHRISETTE MICHELE has been bubbling under everyone's radar for quite some time. Which is a shame, because she's truly one of the baddest chicks in the game. Not only is the 30 year old one VERY talented singer/songwriter, but she's also stunningly beautiful.

Perhaps best known for her 2009, Grammy Winning song 'Be OK', Chrisette hasn't yet crossed over into the 'big leagues' of a Mary J.Blige, but we're hopeful because as she's prepping the release of her FOURTH studio album, we think she's paid her dues. 'Let Me Win' is a track lifted from her new album 'Better'. It's one of our favorite tracks from a GREAT album.

Give it a whirl and for good measure, we're throwing in our other two favorite songs from Ms.Michele - 'Epiphany' and 'I'm A Star'. She's the REAL deal y'all, and if you have any doubt just watch her scat like Ella Fitzgerald on the live performance of 'Be OK'.

SONG PREMIER: Beyonce 'Grown Woman'

 

The white woman you see in the pic above is in fact BEYONCE, don't get it twisted.

But we digress...
The world got a sneak peak of Beyonce's new song 'Grown Woman' in her PEPSI 'Live For Now' commercial a few months back. And while she's been performing the song during her current 'Mrs.Carter Tour', she has yet to release the song on iTunes. And so perhaps to diffuse the rumors that she's expecting her second beeybeyyyyy, the song has leaked in full.

Give a listen to the Timbaland-produced track...before it gets yanked from the interweb. We are certainly LOVING the African flourishes on the song. Timbaland hinted to his increasing influence of the sound on Justin Timberlake's 'The 20/20 Experience'.

VIDEO PREMIER: Maroon 5 'Love Somebody'


It's no secret that MAROON 5 lead singer knows how to turn up the heat to the heights of his falsetto. Peep his latest panty-dropping painting visual for 'Love Somebody', the latest single from the bands 2012 album 'Overexposed'. It's creatively simple and ZEXY!

STD (Shot of the Day)


Peep this BRILLIANT new music video from DAN BLACK feat. KELIS for the song 'HEARTS'. Shot over the course of 24 hours and compressed into a time-lapse format, the video is all things colorful, fun...and even a little trippy at times.

The British singer/songwriter/producer paired up with R&B singer Kelis (of 'Milkshake' fame) for 'Hearts' as the lead single from his upcoming sophomore album. Peep it!
