Rihanna | MySpace Music Videos

So what does everyone think of the new Rihanna single/video, "Rude Boy"? I for one LOVE IT. "Rude Boy" has long been one of my favorite tracks from Rated R. The video is HOT. Rihanna looks absolutely GORGEOUS in all of her looks. I love the pop art feel of the video. Very colorful. Rihanna's Rated R is fast becoming one of my favorite albums right

Leona Lewis Releases "I Got You" Music Video

Oh Leona Lewis. You sure do know how to make a deliciously cheesy pop video, don't you? "I Got You" continues to be one of my favorite songs off of Echo and for good reason. It follows in the footsteps of past Leona Lewis songs, in that it showcases her stunning voice with a big chorus and plenty of little riffs. The track was penned by Arnthor Birgisson, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha and is

Hall & Oates Done Right: The Bird & The Bee Pay Homage To True Musical Masters

I think my love for The Bird and The Bee somehow got lost in the musical clutter that has made up the past couple of years for me. I first became aware of the band back when I heard the club mixes for "F*cking Boyfriend." While I enjoyed the Ralphi Rosario/Jody den Broeder mixes, nothing about the band really stood out in my mind. Then, I bought tickets to see Lily Allen live (for the second

Where has this girl been all of my life? As soon as I heard the Wideboys remix of her new single "My Baby Left Me," I had to go and track down the original. This girl is TALENTED. ROX has got it going on and I hope she goes on all the way to the top of the charts.

ROX (AKA Roxanne Tataei) is a South London-based singer/songwriter, who has

Hot Video Alert: Pixie Lott - Gravity

Check out the stunning Pixie Lott and her new single, "Gravity." LOVE this girl. LOVE this song. So far, every Pixie Lott single has received some sort of a remix treatment. So far we have Cahill on the mix (which you can sample on Cahill's MySpace). Hoping for some others, although Cahill's mix sounds AMAZING. "Gravity" will be single #4 from Pixie's debut album, Turn It Up and it

New Chromeo Album Due in August 2010

Photo by Angela Boatwright (via MySpace)Now, this news is straight from Chromeo...new album due out (tentatively) in August 2010! SO pumped for new Chromeo. It's been a long while since 2007's Fancy Footwork album. While it was great to hear (and see the video for) "Night By Night" this Fall, it served as nothing more than a GIANT tease. While I'm relatively new to the Chromeo bandwagon, I'm

Dan Black & Kid Cudi Reinvent the Symphony

How exciting is this? One of my favorite imports, Dan Black, has gone into the studio with another major talent, Kid Cudi, to record a remix of Black's single "Symphonies." Not sure when this new remix will be available commercially, but you can listen to it on The Hype Machine now (the album version is available to download on iTunes now). You can also watch the new video with Kid Cudi,

As previously mentioned, the video for the single was directed by Nez Khammal (you can watch it HERE) and MIKA performed the track live on the UK version of So You Think You Can Dance at the end of January (see the performance HERE). Produced by Greg Wells, the song has been

Jaclyn Dima: A Beautiful Start to a Promising Career

Classically trained singer/songwriter Jaclyn Dima is an up & coming talent to be on the lookout for in the future. Dima, who's style could be described as a little bit of jazz mixed with a little blues and a little folk, just released her debut album The Fall of Finding You this past December.

After attending Indiana University's School of Music, Dima started pursuing a career in music,

V.V. Brown's Coming To Boston, Album Out Now - Digitally

I chalk this up as a case of "if you TWEET, they will come." V.V. Brown is coming to Boston! How excited am I? Now, I'm not seriously attributing my TWEET as the reason for V.V. coming to Boston, but I'm sure it couldn't have hurt. Whatever it takes to get V.V. here, right?Back in January, V.V. announced a small U.S. tour to promote the Stateside release of her debut album Travelling Like The

Music's Biggest Night

What can I say about the Grammys? While it was certainly more enjoyable than the Golden Globes (YAWN!) I'm still glad I TIVO'd the whole thing because there are always performances that I want to FAST-FORWARD through (i.e. - Dave Matthews Band, Eminem/Drake/Lil' Wayne, etc.). I know that the Grammys are celebrating ALL music, which is great. I, personally, do not listen to all music, so having
