JLS shift gear into a fresh era with the release of new album, Evolution on November 5th. The album deftly documents a growth for the boys as we see them mature both personally and sonically with Evolution. The album will be preceded by the single Hottest Girl In The World, released on 21st October.  Evolution sees JLS move in a more urban direction and sees the Brit boys working with a stellar list of American urban producers including hip hop producers The Runners [Rihanna, Chris Brown, Rick Ross] and Midi Mafia [Brandy, Frank Ocean] to legendary R&B hit-maker Rodney [...]

That Month: August 2012 Here at LYFSTYL we are actively striving to make your life easier so we have decided to add a new section called That Month. This new area of the site will be a sort of recap of things you might have missed, it will be posted on the first of every month and feature an exclusive mix tape built featuring a few of our favourite tracks.   Features: [...]

Welcome back to the  Hype Index , our  Soundbytes  segment that manages to squeeze an entire week of music news into one very opinionated list. Stevie Wonder and Nicki Minaj started off September in hot water, while Madonna and Elton John reportedly hugged it out. The MTV Video Music Awards turned 28, but without Lady Gaga   or  Kanye West [...]

Cat Power's new album Sun  dropped earlier this week, and the fact that she uses Auto-Tune on the track "3, 6, 93 has generated almost as much interest as the album itself. For an ostensibly innocuous pitch-correction effect, Auto-Tune has generated a heap of controversy over the last decade, ever since Cher introduced it to the world during the chorus of "Believe." Much of the opprobrium directed at the use of the software is entirely justified (Hi, Eiffel 65! Hi, Chris Cornell!), but that's not to say that every Auto-Tuned track is a priori awful — so [...]

By now you may have heard that the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards are taking place tomorrow night (Sep. 6) live from Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET. We know what you're thinking: no way this year can live up to last year. The 2011 VMAs featured Lady Gaga 's gender-bending theatrics, Beyonce 's baby bump reveal, an interpretive dance tribute to Britney and oh yeah maybe you've heard of that singer Adele ? [...]

MTv looks like it's going all out with the VMA's by adding Frank Ocean and Rihanna on an already heavy lineup. The show already includes Taylor Swift, One Direction, Green Day and even a performance by Alicia Keys . "Among the new presenters also confirmed for the show are the Wanted, Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones, 2 Chainz and Ke$ha . They'll join a previously announced list that includes Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller and the [...]

Most women announce their pregnancy by telling a few close friends or perhaps updating their Facebook status. Beyonce is not most women. The Wold Humanitarian Day supporter broke the happy news by cradling her baby bump on the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. Not one to do things by halves, the 16-time Grammy winner made it official later that night by asking the world to “feel the love that’s growing inside of me” after delivering a flawless rendition of “Love On Top” . [...]

Strap yourself in folks, because this one is a doozy! While we're at it, why don't you check out the Mad Decent Block Party 2012 Mix provided by  Paul Devro : This past Saturday, Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square played host to the first Mad Decent Block Party of summer 2012 and I think I speak on behalf of everyone in attendance when I say, "dat was tight"!!! I know that may seem an insufficient recap of what was arguably the hottest free event of the summer, however, 'tight' is actually quite accurate [...]

If there's any time during the year musical connections are made, it's during Summer. With an abundance of music releases highlighting both the highs and lows of life, a song that you fell in love with during the Summer can resonate with you forever. By creating this playlist, not only did I want to expose you to recent music releases, [...]

Did You Hear? :: Kim Kardashian  has officially been dating Kanye West  for longer than the length of her 72-day marriage to what's-his-bucket. We knew these two crazy kids could make it last! True love forever, guys! [ Jezebel ] :: You'll never get to hear Frank Ocean 's collaboration with Nas , as the recording was lost due to a technological error. [ Rap-Up ] :: Snoop Dogg [...]

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib share "Shame," the second single from their upcoming collaboration album. The soulful track showcases Madlib's prodigious, J Dilla -esque talent as a producer. It also doesn't hurt that he's working with one of the most deft young rappers around; Gibb spits dexterous bars and makes it all seem way too easy. Singing on the hook is BJ the Chicago Kid , who compliments Madlib's fervent backdrop perfectly. It's another successful collaboration for the [...]

Frank Ocean has announced the release of his new album, Channel Orange, out July 17th through Def Jam. The smooth R&B of Frank Ocean could previously be heard in the Odd Future collective releases and Ocean’s own 2011 ULTRA mixtape. After scoring collaborations with Beyoncé , and Kanye West [...]

Mufuckin Frank Ocean is about to rock your nuts off, yeah both, one, or even three. Hold on to your titties as well and listen up! Def Jam just confirmed that  Channel Orange  is the name of Frank Ocean 's debut commercial long one, out July 17th . Technically, this can be considered his sophomore record as the now legendary, "Nostalgia, Ultra" was dropped on the mixtape circuit last year. However, that record never made it to the store fronts and instead was given [...]

Frank Ocean has the whole mysterious vibe down pat. Earlier this morning, the Odd Future -affiliated crooner posted a short snippet of a brand new song onto his Tumblr . He left no comment and from the video, we're left to guess that the new song is called "TV" and will appear on a new release entitled Channel Orange , out on July 17th. The song features layered vocals and a dark, glitchy synth in the background. The two minute snippet features, unsurprisingly for Ocean, a BMW station wagon. Listen [...]

At a time when riots are an uncomfortably normal thing to see and hear about in the news (or even be part of), the video for Jay-Z & Kanye West's Watch The Throne track "No Church in The Wild" seems strangely natural. While I have no reservations about there being a generous budget behind the video's creation, I can't but watch it and feel like this is all real footage, and that the youth of Prague have gone ape-shit for some reason. Watch them take on riot police amidst a serene setting below:
