at work last week while i was on a conference call and the guy who works down the hall was obnoxiously blasting his music. it was so frustrating and just bad office manners. before you comment "why didn't you just close your door?" - i don't have an office door. i have a work station. i'm exposed. like a new born. while i was trying my best to heard what our london offices were saying about digital marketing i couldn't stop listening to the blasting music. it was actually catchy. luckily for me, after the call the guy repeated the [...]
robyn will release the final part of her body talk trilogy later this fall and it's incredibly bitter sweet. for one thing, i'm excited to hear what part 3 has to offer but also sad that it's the last of her epic body talk cycle. robyn just released the first single from part 3 " indestructible ." "indestructible," which robyn produced with songwriting partner klas ahlund, was originally released as a hauntingly beautiful orchestral ballad on part 2 but she's totally revamped the [...]

rihanna just dropped the music video for her latest single - " only girl (in the world) ". i'm so happy that she's moving away from the dark/rock image from rated r and into a new technolicious direction in loud . what do you think of the video?
hooray. i don't know why but i'm so happy nelly is back. it feels like the 90s all over again. nelly is set to drop his sixth full length studio album, nelly 5.0 , on november 15 and his first single is making a huge impact on the radio and billboard charts. currently at #3, " just a dream " is a hip-pop track featuring insanely catchy instrumentation - hello guitar riff - and an even catchier chorus. there's something amazing about this track because all the elements work so well together. everything just clicks. [...]
south korea's current hottest boy band 2pm is back with their first single " i'll be back " from their recently released first mini-album still 2:00PM . with a bunch of fans standing strong behind them, 2pm can do wrong. they can release a craptastic single and still be able to sell millions ... and "i'll be back" is just that. "i'll be back" is an uptempo pop track with heavy influences of r&b and dance. the problem is that nothing about the track sticks. compared to their previous hits such [...]
" obsession " is the first single from the new artist - sky ferreira . penned by ryan tedder , the track is catchy and your standard electropop tune. because it will be featured on the forthcoming soundtrack of the tv series vampire diaries , it will no doubt make an impact on the radio and billboard charts. major buzz has been building for ferreira's as-yet-untitled debut album scheduled from a january 2011 release. along with ryan tedder, she has recorded with producers linda perry , greg kurstin and bloodshy & [...]

while nelly furtado has been busy working on her fifth studio album due out early next year, she will release her first greatest hits compilation called the best of nelly furtado due out november 16. the compilation will include three new songs including " what you want to do (night is young) ". the track takes nelly to a new direction - electopop. i'm not sure how i feel about the track. the production over powers nelly's vocals. it just doesn't seem like a natural transition for her. then again - most [...]

one of my favorite (and incredibly embarrassing to admit) korean boybands is b2st . they're back with a brand new single that i've been listening to on repeat while at the gym. " breathe " is a r&b/pop track with touches of electro-dance. it's nothing out of the world or mind-blowing but it's just pure guilty pleasure. "breathe" is off of their recently release third mini-album mastermind . b2st - breathe

i'll be honest with you. when i first heard of nicki minaj a while back i didn't really pay attention or give her the chance. i knew the music blog world was going crazy and massive buzz was surrounding this rapper but i just didn't believe it. it wasn't until after this years mtv video music awards when the light bulb above my head went turned on and i understood why everyone is freaking out about her. her music, style and attitude are out of this world. i'm now a nicki minaj fan. yes, i've drank the kool-aid. [...]

just one of the many great moments from last nights second season premiere of glee . click the picture or here to see the scene.
bruno mars just released a new single (not sure if it's his official second single) on itunes today called " liquor store blues ". this reggae styled jam which features damian marley may not be as catchy as " just the way you are " but will certainly find its way up the billboard charts and all over the radio. bruno's highly anticipated debut album doo-wops & hooligans is set to drop october 5. oddly enough, i don't think his recent arrest in las vegas for possession of cocaine will hurt [...]
the second second of glee premieres next tuesday on september 21 and i cannot wait. with already confirmed guests such as flipinia star charice and john stamos not to mention an episode dedicated to britney spears , the second second seems to be packing a heavy punch. a track has been released to help boost the buzz around the premiere date. the gleeks have covered jay-z and alicia keys ' " empire state of mind ". usually i get really uncomfortable when they (well, mainly mr. shue) rap [...]
oh lord i don't even know where to begin with this. i found my new guilty pleasure and it comes from will smith 's 14-year old daughter willow smith . willow has decided to dive into the music industry by releasing her catchy-as-hell first single called " whip my hair ." it's hard to find a track nowadays with an appeal that can translate between adults to kids. however, this track oddly enough does it. it's a club yet recess-friendly track. don't let her age fool you because this track packs a serious punch. [...]
kanye west is about two months away from releasing his highly-anticipated fifth studio album dark twisted fantasy on november 16th. he closed this years mtv vma's with the performance of " runaway ". i'm not sure how i feel about the track. here's why: while his lyrics don't resonate with me. it seems incredibly ungenuine and plain annoying. it's obvious that he's casting a harsh critical eye on his own flaws particularly from last years vma moment. but seriously kanye, i don't care because i'm just over it. however, all [...]
while lady gaga walked away with eight vma moonmen including video of the year last evening, the real winner was florence and the machine . performing her hit single " dog days are over ," florence welch won over the audience and viewers by just singing the crap out of the genuinely amazing track. florence and a host of crazy, yet incredibly talented, dancers stole the show with a performance that was ethereal and downright joyous. part hippie freakout and part modern dance, this performance may have just given her a major stateside breakthrough. [...]

last weekend after a drunken night i lost my ipod. i'm not sure how i lost it or where i lost it but when i returned to my apartment i realized it was gone. the next morning, hung over, i hoped that it was just me being a drunk mess. but alas, i did in fact lose it. i guess i lost my ipod at the right moment because apple just released the new ipod generations. now i loved my ipod nano. it was the fifth generation version that had a video camera, a microphone and speaker. unfortunately [...]

"radioactive" still sounds like a kings of leon's typical jam. however this time around it's just presented [...]
