I'm sitting in Ultra Violet's studio, and she's staring at my iPhone.

Five for this week: The Pierces - Secret ( mp3 ) Stand by for a classic blogger gripe... With an imminent Polydor album produced by Guy "Coldplay bassist" Berryman, these NYC sisters are suddenly hotly tipped - having been great for bloody ages . First appearing in 2008, this track - part seadog ditty OD'ing on accordions and part chilled-out woodsmokey jazz, speeding up to a furious fairground finale - proves as much. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Passi [...]
Auteur We masters. Autueur - Ultra Violet ( mp3 )

Well, that didn't take long. We were just wondering what happened to Ultra Violet and why . I mean, we love that song. And U2 starts the 3rd leg of their tour and they go 4 whole concerts without playing it? What the hell? Don't they know we ARE FOLLOWING THIS SHIT ON TWITTER?! Humanigenarians, my ass. Ha... but, here it is, Ultra Violet returns to the set, right after Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me in the encore in Horsens, Denmark on Monday (but not before U2 dropped some other stuff out of [...]
Video by Ric Cordero Produced by Herve and Sinden ... Annnnnd with me on the bridge, of course. Love the Hot Dogs. Oh and Waka Flocka Flame likes it too.

Coming off an exciting yet controversial performance at last week's Downtown Sound concert at Millennium Park , Chicago's hip hop heroine Kid Sister has released a new video for the latest single from her long awaited debut, Ultraviolet . She's definitely repping Chi-town hard in this Rik Cordero-directed clip as it looks like a fun summer day complete with a trip to the roller rink and a stop at local favorite Superdawg . Check out the full video below:

I'm well-versed in Kid Sister's Ultraviolet rays (mainly because I reviewed the muddafugga) but that still doesn't detract from me actually thinking her songs are catchy. Her bubbly persona and those damn dimples might have something to do with it as well. Rik Cordero captures Kid Sis in all her rollerskate glory and she cheeses her way through another colorful clip. They keep it big: Tom Hanks. They keep it bad: MJ. And for some reason, this isn't on the site archives. Seeing [...]
Melisa "Kid Sister" Young has been on her first domestic tour since her album Ultra Violet dropped last November. Surprisingly, this was her first time in the District. Before she left her hotel to play a show at U Street Music Hall (with opening acts DJ Jackie O and Tabi Bonney ), we asked her a few questions about the tour, crazy-ass fans, dapper D.C. gentlemen, and how the hell her good friend Tittsworth can stomach a lot of the peculiar things he eats. She also taught us a little bit of Conga dancing.

Después de toda la problemática que sufrió el lanzamiento del disco de Kid Sister , después de poco más de un par de años podemos ver reflejado el trabajo de esta chica electrónica – hip hopera – popera, se trata del sencillo "Daydreaming" de su disco Ultraviolet . En este tema Kid Sister trabajo al lado de Cee-Lo de Gnarls Barkley para crear un track que conjuga perfectamente el estilo hip-hop de Kid Sister junto con el pop y algunos tintes de dub , [...]
Kid Sister's latest video for "Daydreaming," is the second single off her debut album "Ultraviolet". The track was produced by Brian Kennedy and features Cee-Lo.

'Daydreaming' was one of my fave tracks off Kid Sister's debut album "Ultraviolet", not so much cause of the Cee-Lo feature, no mostly thanks to the amazing production by Brian Kennedy. 'Daydreaming' is also the next single to be released off the album and will be out the 19th of April. And to get you in the right mood until then, here's Jakwob's dreamy remix: Kid Sister ft. Cee-Lo - 'Daydreaming' (Jakwob Remix) YSI | zShare

Yepp, 2009 is almost over, a new decade is waiting around the corner and everyone has gone completely mad trying to sum the past 10 years. The worst word that got hyped in 2009 was the word 'throwback', I seriously can't stand it, I don't do throwbacks. Soooo, I'm not gonna do a decade round up. The first reason, I think the whole thing is overrated (even if I do love listing things), I honestly don't read them so why oh why spill precious time dwelling in old shit? Second, I simply don't have that type of [...]

Ladies rejoice! The hipster post-modern day rapper finally has a voice laced with estrogen in Kid Sister . Hailing from the Windy City that is Chicago, Melisa Young aims to prove she can make her mark on the rap game without being overly thuggish or bragging about any sort of vaginal voodoo. Her result? Successful in her own zany way due to her debut album Ultraviolet , which is a kaleidoscope of obscure, bubbly Pop with electro true-school flavor. Ultraviolet immediately lives up to its name from [...]

Alot of things puzzles me, how some select tracks for albums is one of them. Atm I'm totally bugging out on why 'Down Azz Jawn' was left out from Kid Sisters debut album "Ultraviolet". Simply WHY?! For real, I demand an answer as this joint is so much better than some of them awful ones on tired A-Trak productions that actually made it all the way onto the precious tracklist, like 'You Ain't Really Down'... Sure, 'Down Azz Jawn' is not a club banger but this one suits my mood so good right now, all smooth and laid [...]

This is the kind of Chick I need in my life. DOWN. For er'ythang. We did this song originally for Kid Sister's album. Peep it. Share it!

This week, Theophilus London has been shooting the music video for "Humdrum Town", his first single on Green Label Sound , released last month.

"Hi I'm Kid Sister and I'm stacking money, drinking all night". Vous avez surement dû entendre parler de Melissa Young aka Kid Sister , surtout avec son morceau "Pro Nails" avec Kanye West en featuring (qui est pourtant loin d'être la meilleure de ses tracks). La semaine dernière est sorti le premier album de la miss, dont Bertrand de BF2D m'avait vanté les mérites. Du coup je me me suis penché sur le cas de [...]

After many push backs, Kid Sister released her debut album, Ultraviolet , last week. A-Trak, XXXchange, Sinden, DJ Gant-Man, Hervé, Yuksek , and Rusko all lent a hand with production on the LP as well as Estelle, Kanye West, DJ Grant-Man and Kanye West being featured on the album. Originally titled, Dream Date , the album excluded 3 songs and included 5 new ones. The entire project is filled with many late 80's to early 90's electro and pop influences. She mixes some basic singing skills with her femcee [...]
