If you have missed it, we got you covered. As reported, this year's Billboard Music Awards took place in Vegas, and just like the Sin City, the Awards didn't hold anything back; from Nicki Minaj - Lil Wayne lap dance to Justin...

A canção "Somebody that i used to know" foi o sucesso absoluto de 2011 e manteve-se no ano seguinte, catapultando Gotye e o seu Making Mirrors para o airplay e estrelato international de forma persistente até à agonia. Com quase 12 milhões de cópias vendidas em 2012 e nº1 nos tops de quase 25 país, a que se juntam os royalties derivados da exibição em rádios e outros meios de comunicação, os lucros foram astronómicos. Mas o pior ainda estava para vir. Basta escutarem esta música para perceberem porquê. [...]

One of the most unexpected developments of the year in pop so far must be the fact that PSY won't go down in history as a one-hit wonder. No performer of a recent viral hit this side of Baauer's "Harlem Shake" seemed as destined to never again scale the heights of Billboard's Hot 100 as the man behind the abominable "Gangnam Style" (the song and the dance). Then something shocking happened on his way to the cut-out bin: PSY scored another hit. Alas, "Gentleman," the slightly superior follow-up to "Gangnam Style" that sounds like [...]

Along with being one of the most anticipated films this year, the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby is just as anticipated. RH regular Hollywood Holt unknowingly produced the Andre 3stacks and Queen B's Amy Winehouse cover "Back To Black" that was featured in the film and trailer. With music heavy weights like Jay-z, Jack White, The XX, Gotye and many more it's not surprise people have been waiting for it. With the film releasing in theaters on May 10th, NPR is now streaming the album HERE . Check out some of what NPR [...]

El filme de Baz Luhrmann se estrenará en el verano. El soundtrack para The Great Gatsby se perfila como uno de los más interesantes para este 2013. Mucho se ha hablado sobre la música inspirada en la adaptación cinematográfica del clásico de la literatura estadounidense, sin embargo, una de las canciones que más llama la atención es "100$ Bill" de Jay-Z. En esta, el actor aparece junto al rapero en forma de samplers de diálogos de la película. Jay-Z y DiCaptrio comparten créditos [...]
What do Beyonce , One Direction, Kanye West, Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Bruno Mars, Usher, Tim McGraw, Pearl Jam, No Doubt and Gotye have in common? They're all richer than you! Also, they're all part of the new Global Citizen Tickets Initiative, a new project designed to incite social activism by offering people free concert tickets. Billboard reports that the campaign, created by the Global Poverty Project, allows ordinary people (just like you and me!) to take a "variety of social actions... to earn points they can use to win free tickets [...]

Usualmente cuando alguien espera una película no es más que porque quiere ver y disfrutar del film en cuestión, ir al cine, sentarse y prepararse para vivir de dos horas de acción, una historia que le llegue y lo cambie o simplemente algo que lo entretenga. No solemos ir al cine para, además de ver un film, disfrutar de la música. Si bien hay veces que puede pasar esto, no es la regla, sino todo lo contrario: la mayoría de las personas no le presta atención a la música en las películas. Desde que vi el tráiler todo fue diferente, [...]

Remember that moment when you were watching Drive and you realized that the soundtrack might be even more impressive than Ryan Gosling's dashing appearance ? If you don't remember, I'll make up a part of your past for you: you were sitting there, watching a movie that was inherently shocking. By nature, it shook you up a little bit, but everything was okay because the music in the movie was exhilarating. Okay, you with me? Similar thing just happened to me. I listened to a remix of Gotye 's song "State of the Art" by The Chap's State of [...]

Great Novel + Great Director + Great Soundtrack = The Great Gatsby Last week the tracklist of the soundtrack to Baz Lurhman's highly anticipated adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" was released. The soundtrack will be available starting May 6th and the film hits theaters May 10th. This star-power packed soundtrack includes songs by ILTB favorites Lana Del Rey, Florence + The Machine, The xx, Gotye, and Nero to name a few. Listen to some of them below: 1. "100$ Bill" - JAY Z 2. "Back To Black" - Beyoncé x [...]

"Over The Love," Florence Welch's original contribution to the Great Gatsby soundtrack, is a persona piece from the point of view of Daisy Buchanan, but perhaps this iconically languorous American lady-figure wasn't so much of a stretch for Flo to imagine - "I sang by the piano," she wails, "tore my yellow dresses, and I cried, and I cried, and I cried." Over a slow thump of a beat and an even, pulsing piano, "Over The Love" builds in those familiar string epiphanies and howling tribal harmonies, all of it carried by [...]
There's already been a lot of hype around the Jay-Z curated soundtrack for Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby, what with the news that Beyoncé and André 3000 would be covering the late Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black,” alongside new music from The xx, Lana Del Rey, Florence & The Machine, Jay-Z, Jack White, (covering U2) and lots more. Having already heard a clip of the Winehouse cover in this trailer , and the full version of the unlikely Fergie/Q-Tip collab, now there's an official soundtrack sampler, featuring 30 second clips of twelve of [...]
There are many great things about the upcoming film adaptation of The Great Gatsby , but one of the great-est is the soundtrack, which features new tunes from Florence & The Machine , Lana Del Rey, Sia, Emeli Sande and a lot of other great artists, too. Great! Now, the official sampler for the soundtrack has been unveiled, featuring 30-second snippets from each of the songs. Unsurprisingly, Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" is an instant standout, but Emeli Sande's 1920s redux of Beyonce 's "Crazy In Love" is stiff competition. As [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Says AP, Facebook Yesterday a new trailer for " The Great Gatsby " debuted along with the track and artist listing for the film's much-hyped soundtrack, which of course is executive produced by Jay-Z . Besides wondering why Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't have a pencil-thin "Gatsby mustache," the biggest question stems from an eclectic, all-star collection of new songs and covers. And, that question is why? "A [...]
The star-studded, Jay-Z executive-produced soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann 's upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby has been the subject of much speculation — questions like, "Oh my God, when can we hear this masterpiece?" and "If we don't get this soon will we literally die?" and "Is this going to be the greatest soundtrack ever? Actually, never mind, that's not even a question" — and now, more details are emerging. The full trailer was released today, and not only does the movie look spectacularly lush and histrionic, there's three new songs featured in the trailer: [...]
If there is one man who can wield the now-familiar Etta James 'Something's Got A Hold On Me' vocal sample with an added "less is more" effect, then it would have to be the man they call Eluusif. Layering the talents of Avicii, Dinka and a few more electronic dance music stars, Eluusif puts yet another burning rod [...]
