WMNSTUDIES are back at it again with another steaming hot "Fuck Jam". Yeah, that's pretty much what we're calling their style these days. WMNSTUDIES, known for mixing classic R&B jams with downtempo electronic beats decidedto edge us closer to the dancefloor with this remix as they continue to adopt a more disco sound. Even better, ourCanadianfriends and captains of the bedroom tune are making their U.S. debute June 21st with us at our SexPop Vol. 2 party in Seattle. Guaranteed to be a sexy, sweatygood time.

Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES are known for transforming sultry R/B tracks into dance floor anthems. Their latest creation, a rework of Usher's 'Nice and Slow', is no different. It takes you back to a time when Usher wasn't involved in reality television programs hosted by Carson Daly, and what a glorious time that was.

Oklahoma native Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert , start Tuesdays episode of The Voice on a somber note. The two sing a moving duet of Sheltons hit Over You, and dedicate the performance to the tornado victims in his home state. As with all of the live performances during the show in this episode, information on how viewers can donate to the disaster relief effort ( redcross.org or 1-800-HELP-NOW) is featured at the bottom of the screen. Its a classy moment for the show, and for the country coach... ...only to [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-22T05:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4963772/the-voice-results-josiah-hawley-and-kris-thomas-eliminated-top/
The Swon Brothers, Josiah Hawley and Kris Thomas Shakira and Usher 's teams just keep getting smaller. Last night (May 21) on The Voice, the top 10 artists faced elimination and for the second week in a row, the two acts eliminated came from the new coaches' teams. Getting the boot from Shakira's team was r&b crooner Kris Thomas . Thomas, who sang mostly ballads during his time on the show, tried his hand at singing a more upbeat, current song by performing Miguel 's smash hit " [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-21T12:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4962222/the-voice-adam-levine-and-maroon-5-perform-new-single/
When faced with eloquently acknowledging a tragedy on a live show, The Voice knows the right man for the job: Carson Daly . Alright, so hes a little awkward when he tries to broach any hard-hitting news, but at least he's better than bubbly pipsqueak Christina Milian . The yikes of the delivery vehicles aside, The Voice appropriately acknowledges Mondays tragic tornado in Oklahoma before starting up the performances. Oklahoman Blake Shelton , notably affected by the natural disaster in his home state, says, It makes it hard to sit here [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-21T05:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4961419/the-voice-recap-michelle-chamuel-shines-as-top-10-perform/
Michelle Chamuel The competition is heating up! The Voice season 42s top 10 artists took the stage last night (May 20), hoping to give performances that would be good enough to get them to the top 8. Some did what they do best while others stepped outside of the box to show different sides of themselves. Helping them with their song choices and performances were their coaches and guest mentors. Adam Levine brought back Hilary Scott from Lady Antebellum , Blake Shelton had Sheryl Crow , [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T15:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960298/listen-to-usher-on-rockos-uoeno-remix/
Usher is the latest member of the musical elite to jump on a remix of Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." Hear him go all R. Kelly with two verses of sweet sing-talk in which he swoons the ladies, attacks the haters, and logs onto Travelocity for cheap hotel rates in Dubai. You gotta love him.

Now that American Idol finished up season 12 , it's time for everyone's favorite pastime: speculating about next season's Idol lineup. We already know Randy Jackson is leaving , and if the rumors are to be believed, so are the remaining three judges. Before the next wave of rumors hits, though, it's worth noting how competing competitive singing show The Voice has managed to implement a more structured off-season game of musical chairs. Deadline reports that Christina Aguilera and [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T17:19:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4954797/interview-w-kyogi/
At only 15 years old, UK based producer Kyogi has a pulse on electro music which excels beyond many contemporaries. Resident b3scientist Brian Litwin recently had the chance to chat with the young producer for some insight on his evolution as a musician, forthcoming super secret projects, Usher and more. Check out their conversation below. B3SCI: Had never heard of your hometown and so I had to look it up. What's it like in Totnes, Devon, Britain and how is the music scene there?

It was the return of the mentors on Tuesdays (May 14) episode of The Voice ! Season 22s Robin Thicke returned, along with current season mentors Hillary Scott (along with the rest of Lady Antebellum ) and Pharrell Williams. The three wise ones not to mention coaches Blake Shelton and Adam Levine performed with the final twelve contestants, while Shakira and Usher kept busy by looking hot on the sidelines. Despite the fact that every single performance from Mondays [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-15T05:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4951060/the-voice-results-vedo-and-garrett-gardner-eliminated-top-10/
Holly Tucker, Vedo, Garrett Gardner and Sasha Allen It was a bad night for the two new coaches on The Voice. Shakira and Usher , both new additions to the coaching panel for season four, each lost a member of their teams when the results were read during the live elimination show last night (May 14). Receiving the elimination news on Team Usher was r&b singer Vedo . Just the week before, Vedo made the top 12 when he was saved by America's votes along with aspiring electro artist [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-14T12:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4949135/the-voice-the-swon-brothers-pay-tribute-to-country-legend/
Based on what were seeing during the live rounds of The Voice , it is very likely that the apocalypse is near. Last week Al Roker appeared to promote The Today Show (Horseman 1). Then there was Wednesdays miscount incident with the very serious auditor on stage (Horseman 2). Monday night brought the biggest doomsday sign yet: the air conditioning went out for the live show (gasp!), prompting Adam Levine to fan Carson Daly (Horseman 3), and Usher to strip down to a tank top (no Horseman there, just [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-10T23:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4944259/get-crunk-claytons-friday-party-playlist-51/
Holy shit, ninjas! We can't believe it. A week from today will mark a full year of party playlists. It seems like just yesterday we were lining up shots, talking about how there's a lack of solid party music collections on the interwebs. Here we are today. Our livers aren't as grateful as our ears, but we don't care. You know why? Because it's the weekend, and it's time to get down. You've worked your ass off, and we appreciate it. So, here's yet another tasty selection of rage inducing tracks that will please your ears, legs, and desire to [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-09T12:29:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4940894/the-voice-the-top-12-decided-cee-lo-green/
So much excitement on the third night of The Voice this week! Cee Lo is back! Rod Stewart is still performing! Adam Levine brings the broadcast into overtime! Your votes totally didnt count! Wait...what was that last one? Thats right: your votes didnt count this week. If it always struck you as odd that American Idol and The Voice s voting systems were less flawed than, say, the national governments, you can rest assured that theyre just as faulty!

Caroline Glaser and Sarah Simmons The Voice season four has got a new top 12. The final 12 singers were revealed last night (May 8) in a dramatic live elimination results show and some of the choices were tough for the superstar coaches to make. For Usher 's team, America saved Michelle Chamuel and Vedo , leaving Ush to choose between Cathia and Josiah Hawley . Usher decided to save former male model Josiah who had a much better performance night that Cathia.

It looks like Gwyneth Paltrow has taken over The Voice , because Tuesday nights episode sure was Country Strong! Blake Shelton traded his spiked lattes for some Southern Comfort (in a Starbucks cup, natch), and ignored any other genre in favor of straight-up, down home country. Im country proud, said the Oklahoma native, whos final four performed in Tuesdays Live Playoffs. Pop diva Shakira even joined in on the country action by performing a duet in genre with her fellow coach. Her team performances, on the other hand, ran the gamut [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-07T17:16:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4936938/top-ten-hiro-murai-directed-music-videos/

Night one of The Voice Live Playoffs pairs Team Adam Levine against Team Usher . Shakira , for one, is excited not to be in the hot seat. I can enjoy the show like every other mortal in America, she says, proving she knows shes above mere mortal status. Blake Shelton is really busy pimping Starbucks, holding up what is certainly a spiked latte throughout the show, but luckily hes off tonight too. The theme of the first round of the Live Playoffs is stripped down, allowing the audience hear [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-07T06:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4935692/the-voice-recap-michelle-chamuel-and-judith-hill-dominate-first/
The Voice season four is now live. After weeks of blind auditions, battle and knockout rounds, The Voice's newest season finally went live with the first round of playoff performances last night (May 6). Blake Shelton and Shakira 's teams got to relax as Team Adam Levine and Usher battled it out with live performances they hoped would be good enough to get them to the next stage of the competition. Only three singers on each team will remain and make it to the top 12. Here's what went [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-04T18:58:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4932228/eric-bellinger-asap/
