Kylie Minogue has receipts for days. The Australian pop deity is a global phenomenon – landing more than 30 top 10 hits in the UK, not to mention hitting the number one spot in her homeland a record 10 times. Now she firmly has her sights set on the American market. Since signing to Roc Nation in February, the skirt-dropping diva has wasted no time networking with Jay-Z 's clique, hitting the studio with heavyweights like Pharrell and now, according to The New York Times , with Timbaland [...]

Check out the new video for A-Trak feat. Galantis - Jumbo, it's fun for a minute... and then the Cheerleaders show up, which makes it even better. A-Trak stays busy as a solo artist, label head over at Fool's Gold, and half of Duck Sauce. When you're a globetrotting DJ/producer it sometimes feels like you need to be two places at once, thankfully he was able to clone himself for the "Jumbo" video off the Tuna Melt EP. Follow A-trak on Facebook | Twitter You [...]

Soundcloud rules, period! It gives you the freedom to adventure outside of your comfort zone and discover artists you might not have ever become familiar with. One night my wandering ear lead me to Mitis, and I'm still bragging about my discovery of this dubstep and D&B producer. This is what bloggers do, we brag about beating others to the punch. Which raises the question, is Mitis EDM Culture's next superstar? His latest EP, "Born," contains six melodic tracks that allow you to feel, not just hear, his music. From the lyrics [...]

We're a mere five days from the release of Kanye West 's  Yeezus , and West has yet to release a single, music video or even a confirmed tracklist . However, he has continued to do a handful of performances /appearances. The latest, spotted by Stereogum , was a  Yeezus listening session in Switzerland, which included a live a cappella version of the album's might-as-well-call-it-lead-sin gle "New Slaves." Yeezy started off calm and let his rage gradually build, until it finally boiled over on [...]

Even though Manchester's Strangeways prison has long been named the significantly less poetic HM Prison Manchester, it is still known widely and colloquially by its former, creepier name. It has snagged the attention of musicians before, of course , and in some respects is such a powerful, engrossing name that it steamrollers all around it. Few people will focus on the first part of Dexter Strangeways' name, for instance, even though Dexter is one of the most satisfying and unusual English names, but such is the power of words. Still. All [...]

The new plan with  Ke$ha  seems to be to just try anything and just see what sticks.  Pitbull  and  Will.i.am ? Sure! Cornrows ? Why not! Styled as squeaky-clean as a suburban soccer mom in a lime green hoodie? Okay, that'll work, too. So Ke$ha: "Have fun and &  still stay fit," says the headline. Well, okay! She's jumping and she looks like she's having a good time, absolutely, in a Lululemon-afternoon-yogilates sort of way. But still, at the same time, is this going to help sell more copies of  Warrior ? [...]

Fete de la Musique , or World Music Day, was conceptualised in France in 1982, and the celebrations have now spread to several countries. World Music Day is celebrated annually on June 21, and several gigs have been organised in different parts of the country to celebrate (it helps that June 21 is also a Friday). The Alliance Francaise, Chennai, went one notch bigger: they've put together a festival. The festival has been an annual event since 2011, and in the spirit of the original French celebration, features several open air concerts which are free and open to all. The 2013 [...]

Spoiler alert! This is one of those stories where pretty much everything you need to know is in the headline, because while  Paris Hilton  did give an interview to  The Daily Beast  —  discussing her role in Sofia Coppola's upcoming film  The Bling Ring  and various other projects — she devoted literally four short sentences to her upcoming album. And I mean brief sentences. Very little elaboration. But hey! Don't rush her artistry. It's all about the craft. So! When asked about the reports that [...]

In 1984, Susmit Sen met Asheem Chakravarthy at a concert. After three years of writing music together, the duo formed Indian Ocean , arguably India's pioneering fusion rock band. It's been about 23 years and the band has created a formidable legacy, with six albums, including music composed for films, under their belt. The band has performed to massive audiences at concerts both in India and abroad,  and has also seen several lineup changes over the years. Now, the Indian Ocean legacy will continue, but without founding member Susmit Sen. Sen has left the band to concentrate on his [...]

The BeyHive has had enough! Beyonce 's wig-snatching, shade-throwing fan army is feared wherever there's an internet connection but last night (June 11) they turned on their Queen when she had the audacity to promote Kelly Rowland 's Talk A Good Game  on her site. Let me put the uprising in context. Emotions have been running high in the Hive for months due to a lack of communication. Stans were expecting Bey's new era to be in full swing by now but we're still essentially in the dark despite the occasional [...]

It looks like the official tracklist to Kanye West 's Yeezus has hit the interwebs, in the form of another white Def Jam "flyer," which you can find below. The last two of these to emerge were legit (one  unveiling the cover artwork , the other announcing there's no pre-order ), so we're willing to believe that this latest one is authentic. The tracklist doesn't show any of the features, but the sequencing, titles and quantity of the songs all match up with what we heard at the album listening session earlier this week . [...]
