Defining Music History From Houston for Seven Decades

Durante este fin de semana, en una 'Radio 1 Session' para la BBC, James Blake (bajo su disfraz de Harmonimix) estrenó un remix del tema ' Left & Right' , original de D'Angelo . Probablemente el trabajo más interesante de Blake ha surgido de su concepto Harmonimix, donde toma canciones que le encantan y las funde en nuevas estructuras rítmicas y armónicas, a veces añadiendo al tema original capas de su propia voz distorsionada. Es un truco que usó muy bien para lograr líneas vocales casi terroríficas en su versión de 'Bills Bills Bills' original de [...]
Taken from Beyonce's forth studio album "43, "Love On Top" demonstrates another showstopping performance from Queen B from her recent Roseland Ballroom performance. The song has been heralded by critics for its retro 80s vibe which sees Beyonce moving back to her style of old. Don't we all wish we looked as good as Beyonce in a skimpy silver onesie?

I have totally NOT been into the Glee show this year. But I have to say last weeks episode kind of moved me. I know the show is kitchy, lame, and not cool enough for the cool kids. But I really enjoy the anti-bullying campaign and acceptance message they are trying to spread. Plus I am huge HOMO and love me some show-tunes... Hayyyy! Up next, the Sectionals; McKinley Glee CLUBS will compete at Sectionals! Ya heard, both clubs. The gist is this; with Rachel ( Lea Michele ) unable to compete, Sam Evans ( [...]

Fresh off of their ode to female musicians episode " I Kissed A Girl" , Glee is delivering another dose of women empowerment music. Next week's "Hold On To Sixteen" (note the John Cougar Mellancamp "Jack And Diane" reference) features a perfect mashup of Gloria Gaynor's 70s classic "I Will Survive" and Destiny's Child's 2001 hit "Survivor". Preview the Troubletones ladies' Sectionals performance below, and marvel at Naya Rivera and Amber Riley's flawless vocals. The mix of the two classic survivor anthems seems like a no-brainer. How is it that it has taken [...]
So… Kelly Rowland's album didn't sell too good, and Beyoncé is NOT happy about it. We couldn't count you all the hilarious moments, but when Rihanna pops up to say that she can only talk to Kelly overseas is a highlight.

Remember her? She's been pretty busy touring over in the US, but Michelle Williams has graced us with this HOT single cover, after joining forces with German collective Electric Giant Beatz with the single "On The Run". Michelle looks amazing in this photoshoot and it's a wonder how she manages to keep looking so damn good!!! The single is released on 27th November and here's a preview of the video to go with the track below.
Obviously Michelle Williams was too busy doing whatever it is Michelle Williams does nowadays to attend the Destiny's Child reunion party, masquerading as the video for Beyoncé's single 'Party' feat. J Cole. This is the third Beyoncé video to be released in as many weeks - we assume that lots of them were filmed prior to her pregnancy in order to keep her album campaign on its feet even when Bey's ankles are swollen and her prosthetic? stomach is making her back ache. Plagiarism has been the over-riding theme [...]

Our man Drunk & Hungry is dude out of Pittsburgh that also records indie pop under the name Good Sport . Get familiar. ( AV ) Drunk & [...]

Lady of the moment Beyonce is back with this swinging 60's inspired video for Countdown. Featuring sampling from Boyz 2 Men , Beyonce wanted to create a refreshing multi genre song that encapsulated sounds that spanned many times periods and genres. Taken from her fourth album, aptly named "43, the video makes multiple references to art, dance and fashion movements of the past. Not without controversy however, Beyonce has been said to have plagerised some of the dance moves contained within the video. Who knew? Beyoncé - [...]
