Hot Remix: Jennifer Lopez - Louboutins (Jeremy Word Remix)

Better late than ever, I suppose. I have a HOT remix for you, which many of you have probably found other places. It's Dallas-based DJ/Remixer Jeremy Word's take on the new Jennifer Lopez single, "Louboutins." I'm LOVING this remix right now. I've been a fan of Jeremy Word's bootleg stuff for a good long while now (check out his mixes of Flo-Rida's "In The Ayer" & Janet Jackson's "Feedback").

In My Stocking...

Let the post holiday spending begin! Last week I got myself a pair of the BOSE ear buds. So far so good. The sound quality is excellent and they are very comfortable. I think they are quieter than my iPod ear buds which is also a plus. I don't want anyone to tell me to turn my music down AND there's nothing I dislike more than hearing someone elses music on the train or bus.In addition, I did

My Mother...

Sorry for the major delay in posting of late. I've had a lot going on over the past couple of weeks. My mother passed away on Thursday December 17th after a 5 year battle with ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease. While we all knew that ALS is incurable, this end was not something any of us liked thinking about, nor did knowing make the reality any easier to digest. I consider myself so very fortunate to

Ke$ha Unleashes Her Inner 'Animal'

One artist I'm ABSOLUTELY obsessed with right now is Ke$ha. When I obsessed, I mean NEED NEW MUSIC NOW. This why I'm scouring YouTube looking for new song clips. I've already fallen in love with her hit single, "Tik Tok," as well has her rumored follow-up single, "Blah, Blah, Blah," featuring 3OH!3. Now I've just heard a clip of "Dinosaur," and OMG. I can hardly contain myself. She kind of

Hot New Release: Ryan Ferrada - Room 501

I first heard of Ryan Ferrada back in September, when I talked about his upcoming release Room 501. The Bimbo Jones remix of his first single, the club-friendly "Dirty In The Club" hit the top 10 in the Music Week UK Club Chart last month and even hit #2 on the Pop Chart. Impressive! Well, the album has FINALLY been released to the UK iTunes store. I wish I could get it here in the states.The

Lilith Fair Lineup Announced - Round #1

Last week part of the lineup for Lilith 2010 was announced. Wow. POWERHOUSE! One of the things that I love about Lilith Fair, aside from it's knack for showcasing strong, talented females in the music industry, is how much variety the line up has to offer. Nearly every genre of music is represented here and this is only the first round of artists! Included in the group we have Sarah McLachlan

Billboard Reveals Top One Hit Wonders of the Decade

When I discovered that Billboard.com was featuring 39 "One-Hit Wonders" of the last decade, I knew this it was going to be a good day. And it was! It was like taking a musical journey back through college and I loved every minute of it.Billboard counts these artists as one hit wonders based on their charting history on Billboard's Hot 100 list. "After reaching the Hot 100's Top 10 with their

Katharine McPhee Remains 'Unbroken'

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say it - Unbroken is the CD that Katharine McPhee should have made from the start. Her misguided, post-idol debut was one big cliche-ridden poptastic mess. While it wasn't without the occasional gem (i.e. - "Love Story") for the most part, it just didn't seem genuine. From the looks of it, her follow up, due out on Verve January 5th, will be everything

Dionne Bromfield Releases a Motown Classic as Single #2

The super-talented 13-year old Dionne Bromfield is gearing up to release her second single in the UK, a cover of the Motown Classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," off of her debut album Introducing Dionne Bromfield. Bromfield, who happens to be Amy Winehouse's god daughter is very much following in the musical footsteps of her godmother, garnering many vocal comparisons. Her album is made up

Hot Music News & Snippets: Adam Lambert, Gabriella Cilmi, Grammy Nominations & More

In the wake of negative press that Adam Lambert's controversial American Music Awards Performance left behind, the talented young singer is now just focusing on the music. Lambert sang his heart out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing December 1st), singing a powerful rendition of the album track, "Whataya Want From Me," which was co-written by singer and P!nkMax Martin. Perfection. This is

Hot New Band: Versant

Besides "Le Disko," and "Rainy Monday," I haven't really heard anything by the LA-based electro-rock outfit known as Shiny Toy Guns. Of course I first heard "Le Disko" as it was remixed by the likes of Tommie Sunshine & Boys Noize. Unfortunately for me, I became a fan too late in the game. Before I knew it, lead vocalist Carah Faye Charnow was gone, replaced with the "rock" chick the CW

Blake Lewis to Release "Heartbreak On Vinyl" as Second Single

Blake Lewis has always been one of my favorite male American Idol alums. He might not be as strong vocally as Clay Aiken or Adam Lambert but he has what a lot of the other Idols don't - uniqueness. I think that many of the other Idol cast offs were so easily pigeonholed into one specific genre of music because they lacked a unique style. They were able to sing the particular genre of music

Jennifer Lopez is Throwin' On Her "Louboutins"

Promotion seems to be underway on Jennifer Lopez's new album and I couldn't be more excited. I haven't really enjoyed a Jennifer Lopez album since the J To The L-O remix album came out back in 2002. Sure, there has been the occasional song since then (i.e. - "I'm Glad," "Get Right," "Cherry Pie," "Do It Well") but for the most part, none of her tunes have really jived with me.

Corinne Bailey Rae Is Back!

See, now this is the kind of news that just makes me smile. Corinne Bailey Rae first started tugging at my heart strings with her super sunshiney single "Put Your Records On" back in 2006. Following the release of her debut self-titled album, Bailey Rae went straight to #1 one on the UK Album Chart as well as the top of the UK R&B Albums Chart.. The album did amazing well overseas as well,
