It's been a while... Our Lady Godney has been really enjoying herself in 2012: Developing game-changing game changers , rubbing Olympian elbows and looking glamorous and gorgeous at pre-parties for The Grammy Awards (despite the fact that they're entirely corrupt and snub her on a yearly basis.) At the same time, there's been dozens o' rumors floating around regarding her next moves in 2012: A Modern Family cameo , A reoccurring role on Smash , and even a potential judging [...]

It's been a minute since we last heard from Princess Ameriie (she of former 'Amerie' fame.) While she's been hard at work carving out her ambitious, trance-heavy fifth studio album Cymatika Vol. 1 dropping later in 2012, the songstress took a moment to join French artist Jean-Roch on a brand new cut for the dance-pop singer's upcoming studio album due out in May, Music Saved My Life . (You can actually catch a glimpse of the two performing the track live in Monaco back in 2011.) [...]

The next "leak" from Madonna 's MDNA is upon us...and we're off with a bang! "Gang Bang," produced by The Demolition Crew , finds our faithful Queen getting ferocious with speak-sung vocals in the vein of Erotica 's "Thief of Hearts," but with a more gritty, filthy dark club thump. In fact, I'm even getting Ladytron vibes? Fuck, this might be my favorite one yet. Clearly a 60-second snippet is not nearly enough. I need it all in my ears. It's too hot. [...]

Afrojack simply cannot be stopped. (And like Miley Bird , he also cannot be tamed. ) After the worldwide smash success of "Take Over Control," his collaboration with Eva Simons in 2010, as well as the explosive success of Pitbull 's "Give Me Everything (feat. Ne-Yo & Nayer )," which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July of 2011, the Dutch DJ/producer has teamed up with soulful Dutch trio Shermanology for his latest cut in 2012: "Can't Stop Me." [...]

Here it is: The cover art for Garbage 's upcoming fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People ! God, Shirley looks really Photoshopped, doesn't she? KIDDING! IT'S A GIANT LETTER "G" PRINTED ON PAPER, Y'ALL! Classic, deadly, blunt. But what else would you expect? Have you not seen their other album covers? Oh, and there's a different cover for the deluxe edition of the album as well. (Spoiler alert: It is red. ) Perhaps even more visually appealing is this brand new video from the [...]

Another day, another new Madonna snippet! "Love Spent" is the next MDNA track to get the 60-second preview treatment, co-crafted alongside longtime collaborator, William Orbit . Like "I'm Addicted," "Love Spent" is a trippy, trancey disco tune (although this one's a mid-tempo), colored by bright, twinkling 8-bit electronica, kicking drums and soaring synthesizers. "I want you to hold me like you hold your money/Hold on to it 'til there's nothing left," the Queen sweetly croons. Still not sure where I'd place it sonically on the Madonna spectrum, [...]

It's all very black and white, you see: Neon Hitch can simply fuck you betta, bay-bee! Just minutes ago, MTV premiered the Chris Appelbaum -directed video for "Love U Betta," the latest single from Neon Hitch's forthcoming 2012 debut LP, Beg, Borrow and Steal . (And still one of my favorite pop singles of the year thus far!) MuuMuse's favorite fiery-headed gypsy-pop princess is serving body, body, body for days in her latest clip, delivering a fierce routine around a silver chair a la [...]

I NEED TO DANCE! Madonna has just premiered a 1-minute snippet of her upcoming MDNA album track, "I'm Addicted"! The tranced-out dance floor assault was co-produced by the Benassi Bros. and The Demolition Crew . Take Confessions On A Dance Floor , a touch of Benassi's Chris Brown 's "Beautiful People," a serving of Kelis ' Flesh Tone , a lil' bit of ABBA and then throw them all into a disco-encrusted blender filled with acid: Shimmery and [...]

While Kelly Clarkson 's been spending her time sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100 (like, literally on top-she's #1 in the country for the second time with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"! ), she's already gearing up for the release of her third Stronger single: "Dark Side." Although there's been much debate/yelling regarding rumors over the past few weeks ("I Forgive You" was originally thought to be the next single), the OG American Idol confirmed to MTV News Canada that "Dark Side" will, in fact, be single #3. And I [...]

After wow, wow, wow WOW -ing the crowd at Sydney Mardi Gras over the weekend, Queen Kylie Minogue has finally announced the first two dates for her much-anticipated Anti-Tour , an intimate showcase for hardcore fans devoted to the B-sides, rarities and unreleased tracks we giggle and fawn over in both forums and the blog world alike. From Kylie.com : Sunday 18th March 2012 The Palace, 20-30 Bourke St., Melbourne Tuesday 20th March 2012 The Big Top, Luna Park, Sydney [...]

It's been nearly six years since Bad Boy Records songstress Cassie first burst into the music scene with the platinum-selling "Me & U," a spine-tingling slice of icy electro-R&B minimalism that rocketed to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. While she's released several songs over the past few years since her debut record, including "Official Girl (feat. Lil Wayne )" in 2008 and "Let's Get Crazy (feat. Akon )" in 2009, the singer's had a slow start-up for her sophomore attempt (which was at one time [...]

Queen Cheryl "Chezza" Cole , she of The Almighty Aloud and X Factor GIFs aplenty, recently put the finishing touches on her third studio album, which is due out later in 2012. Now, the pop beans have been spilled by Sunday Mirror columnist Dean Piper , who confirmed earlier today that "We Found Love" hit-maker Calvin Harris worked with Cheryl on "a dance classic" which will likely act as the lead single from the upcoming campaign. There's also talk of will.i.am on the song, [...]

And now, a taste of what's to come from Sky Ferreira 's ridiculously anticipated debut studio LP, Wild At Heart : "Lost In My Bedroom." I wasn't going to post this one at first since it's a leaked demo of an album track and I wouldn't want to contribute in spilling the goods early, but since Mizz Ferreira herself put it onto YouTube post-leak, I figured I'm in the clear. From Sky's Twitter : Lost In My Bedroom is the most electro pop on the album [...]

Yesterday, I spoke with the inimitable Icy R&B princess, Bad Boy songstress and all around chic chanteuse, Cassie . We gabbed about her upcoming music, the video for "King of Hearts," who she's working with in the studio and her personal style. I also geeked out a bit about "Skydiver" because, well, that's how I roll. Watch for that to hit around Monday! Until then, I've got a rather exciting contest to announce: In honor of the release of "King of Hearts" on February 14... MuuMuse is proud to be [...]

Kanadian Krooner Kay is back with a brand new beat! The hip-pop songstress, who first caught our attention back in April of '11 with infectious cuts like "My Name Is Kay" and the Doctor Rosen Rosen -produced "M.A.J.O.R." , has just premiered "Diddy Dum," a funky fresh track off of her newly released My Name Is Kay EP in Canada. "How many times have you heard this beat?" Kay taunts. To be fair, I can't say I really have: Accordions! Marching bands! 808s! It's like [...]

At last! Marina And The Diamonds just unveiled the cover art for her second studio album, Electra Heart , due out on April 30. Isn't it all shades of perfect?! She looks like a proper Suzy Homemaker! (Or should I say Suzy Homewrecker?) Hmm, either way...I'm utterly obsessed. Marina also revealed the official album tracklisting, which is as follows: 1.) Bubblegum Bitch 2.) Primadonna 3.) Lies 4.) Homewrecker 5.) Starring Role 6.) The State of Dreaming [...]

Earlier this evening, MDNA co-producer William Orbit appeared on the BBC World Services program The Strand to discuss his latest projects, including his work with Madonna . Regarding the album, Orbit explained: "There's some pretty hard, rocking tracks. There's a very different variation of...styles. Mostly pretty savage, actually. The singles that have come out aren't necessarily representative." In addition, the producer revealed that he and Madonna are still recording right now (kind of shocking, no?): "What she has decided to do is extra acoustic versions," he said, explaining further: [...]

Sounds like: Rihanna, Jessie J Genre: Pop, Dub-pop Prepare for the rise of Rita Ora. After catching the eye and ear of an A&R in London, the 21-year-old Kosovo-born, U.K.-bred songstress was introduced to Jay-Z in New York and soon signed to Roc Nation ( Rihanna style!) back in 2009. Since then, she's been working with just every heavy-hitter in the pop industry to craft her upcoming 2012 debut, including Ester Dean , The-Dream and Stargate [...]

When Nicki Minaj isn't busy flying around on starships , she's getting all turned on with the bouncing House beats of Mr. David Guetta . As you've surely heard by now, "Turn Me On," Miss Minaj's collaboration with the acclaimed French DJ/producer, has been burning up the Billboard charts for the past month, having already hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Dance/Club Play charts. To celebrate the release, MuuMuse is proud to be giving away 5 copies of the 6-track "Turn Me On" Remix EP. [...]

While Queen JoJo 's been busy burning up the charts at Pop Radio with her latest single "Disaster" and promoting her free-of-all-flaw skin and for Clearasil PerfectaWash (I could write a dissertation about the hat alone!), the sexy songstress just delivered a brand new treat to fans who've been long thirsting to jump onto her upcoming third studio album, Jumping Trains . "Sexy To Me" is JoJo's new promotional single, produced by (the unstoppable) Danja . As a result, it's dripping in pure Britney Blackout realness-chilly space-age [...]
