Paradiso Girls feat. Lil Jon - Patron Tequila

    Chelsea Korka (of The Pussycat Dolls Present) posted the leaked version of "Patron Tequila" by the Paradiso Girls. Funny how Keri Hilson's version "leaked" last week, though now the audio has been taken off YouTube due to copyright issues. At any rate, I really am diggin' this track. I can't wait to get it in high quality and I can't wait to hear the inevitable remixes! Sounds like a well put

I Do Not Hook Up Cover Art




    Coverlandia is reporting two different "official" covers for Kelly Clarkson's new single, "I Do Not Hook Up." Anyone know the deal with this? Which is real? Are they both legit? Regardless, I love them. These bright and cheery colors are in the complete opposite direction of her last album's promotional material. Of the two...I think I like the first one better. I am kind of feeling the

New Stacie Orrico Music!

    YES! This makes me excited. According to The Prophet, Stacie Orrico is back in the studio and recording a hot new song. While it is in fact a ballad, and I'm usually not too crazy about ballads, this one sounds BEAUTIFUL! The YouTube clip features Brandon Beal in the studio while Stacie is recording live. You hear her singing the track, tentatively called "Light Years Apart," before all the

R.I.P., Blender Magazine

    Say it ain't so, Blender. So sad. According to reports, the current April issue with Kelly Clarkson on the cover, is the magazine's last. While I never had a subscription, this was my airport music magazine of choice! Goodbye, Blender. I'll miss you.

Cher Remixes On Masterbeat

    So last week, Masterbeat announced in their email newsletter, that there would be an "exclusive" digital catalog of Cher remixes. This got me excited! Of course, I have most of them anyway (I recently purchased a few Cher maxis on Discogs Marketplace). Still...this is cool! I'm hoping Masterbeat continues to bring on the remixes! iTunes is getting better at releasing dance music, but Masterbeat

Girls Aloud Release Another 'Untouchable' Video


    Girls Aloud have released another g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s music video. "Untouchable" is the group's 21st single total and the third single off of their latest album Out Of Touch. The video's got a futuristic vibe to it with all of the girls looking absolutely fabulous! You also have to check out their live performance of the track on the UK's "Dancing On Ice." I love how extravagant their production

VV Brown Album Artwork!

    Coverlandia posted the album art for VV Brown's debut album, Travelling Like The Light, due out in the UK on May 11th. The young, spunky UK singer is someone I've only recently started getting into and am having difficulty waiting for the album to come out! I just want to hear more! Aside from a great voice, the girl's got STYLE. Too bad I'll be in the UK a couple weeks too late. Oh well. That's

Gabriella Cilmi Makes Her U.S. TV Debut on Jimmy Fallon


    Gabriella Cilmi made her US television debut last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. She sang her single "Sweet About Me" and sang it well. Her album, Lessons To Be Learned, was released last week in the US and can be purchased for $7.99 digitally. I'm hoping she comes back and does a small club tour or something. I can't believe she's only 17! Such a talent. *EDIT* Check out the performance

    Photo via Official U.S. Website

    It's a sad day, pop music fans. It appears that Russian electro-pop girl group t.A.T.u. have broken up. According to their blog, they are still planning on releasing a third Russian-language video off of Happy Smiles and an English language video for their track "Beliy Plaschik" ("White Robe"). Additionally, they duo plans to release 2 special edition versions

Polly Scattergood is Scatter-GREAT

    Essex-born singer/songwriter, Polly Scattergood released her debut self-titled album in the UK on March 9th and I'm really starting to get into it now, which is a good thing since it's coming out here in the States in May. In a world full of over-produced, overly-commercial pop music, Scattergood is a welcome breath of fresh air. Her sound is a cross between Sia, Tori Amos and Björk. Her

Annie Searches for Ánthonio

    Norwegian electro-Goddess, Annie will release her new single, Ánthonio towards the end 0f April, via Richard X's new label. The track is today's Song Of The Day on Popjustice and a 51 second snippet is currently playing on Annie's MySpace page. From the sounds of it, the track is light, fluffy and perfect for Spring/Summer. Annie's light-as-air vocals glide seamlessly over the electro-beats. I'm

Lily Allen - Not Fair Video




    The video for Lily Allen's brand new single, "Not Fair" has made it's way onto the internet. It's cute. I am diggin' the whole new country vibe that it's got goin' and Lily looks terrific. I'm looking forward to seeing her in April, assuming that her recent troubles don't keep her from traveling to the states. Fingers crossed! Check out the video for "Not Fair" here. - Via Popbytes

New Music Blogs!

    These blogs aren't necessarily brand new, but they are new to me! I found them while perusing We Are Pop Slags, fast becoming one of my new favorite music blogs. Thanks to these new blog-finds, I've learned quite a few interesting pop music bits. Hears the rundown. Photos come from Artists' official websites/MySpace pagesThe Prophet - Hip Hop/R&B Blog: New Brandy Single - "Fall"New John Legend

New Album/Single Artwork - Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, Mandy Moore

    I love album art. I obsessively tag my music in iTunes (which is rough, since I have almost 35,000 songs) and even go as far as to make my own amateur artwork if I can't find it somewhere else (OCD?). Coverlandia, as I've mentioned before, is one of my favorite album art resource - both for official and amateur.Today, Coverlandia posted the single artwork for Lady Gaga's new single, "Lovegame"

The Ting Tings Rock Boston & Some Other Music News

    Got back from the Ting Tings performance at the Paradise in Boston. Amazing show. Of course, it was too short but all in all a BLAST. They performed all 10 songs from their debut album We Started Nothing and did it well. Katie White has quite the set of pipes, and her partner in crime, the scrumptious Jules DeMartino was quite awesome on backing vocals, percussion and everything else he did. Good

Long Overdue Update! Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Paradiso Girls & More!

    I haven't really been inspired lately to do a post. Apologies. This past week saw the release of Kelly Clarkson's fabulous new album as well as the premiere of Britney's video for her controversial "If U Seek Amy," the third single from her Platinum selling album Circus. This next week promises to be a good week for music as well...at least for me! Mandy Moore announced via her official(?)

Amy Winehouse Update!

    Photo Via Amy's Official MySpaceWhen I saw that Amy Winehouse had a new blog post up on MySpace, I was skeptical. "What sort of rehashed, remixed, redone album was she RE-RELEASING now? The past 10 blog posts have all been about Amy's label re-releasing a past album, combining 2 albums together and repackaging it, or about some award that Amy won this past year. Fine. Amy Winehouse is very
