Hot Video Alert: Esmée Denters feat. Justin Timberlake - Love Dealer

It's the third official single and first international single for Esmée Denters. I love this song, although it does make me miss Justin Timberlake's musical presence on the airwaves. The video isn't anything spectacular but Timberlake and Denters both look and sound great. Hope this impacts the charts. "Outta Here" is still one of my favorite Denters tracks.

Hot Video Alert: Alexandra Burke feat. Pitbull - All Night Long

'Pretty Mess,' Erika Jayne Aims for the Top of the Dance Charts with New Single

I adore Erika Jayne. She's beautiful, talented and knows what her target audience is looking for - a real, honest-to-God dance floor filler. Let me tell you...4th single "Pretty Mess" certainly delivers. I think the new single has what it takes to take Jayne straight to the top of the Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart for a 4th consecutive time (following #1 singles "Roller Coaster," "Stars" and "

Daniel Merriweather Unleashes His Golden Pipes on America

OH what I wouldn't give to hear Aussie singer/songwriter Daniel Merriweather's golden pipes live at the House of Blues in Boston on April 30th. Daily Variety called him a star and I have no doubt about that. I've been in love with this guy's voice since I heard his guest vocals on Mark Ronson's "Stop Me," and have been following his various featured vocals on other tracks since. When I learned

Jewel Talks About Her 'Up Tempo' New Album

From the looks of Jewel's new album cover for Sweet and Wild, this is going to be a fun ride! Jewel looks STUNNING (per usual) all dolled up.

Groove Armada and Will Young Make 'History'

Will Young

I'd been hearing about the Will Young/Groove Armada collaboration for a while before Groove Armada's new album, Black Light was finally released. THIS is the kind of music Mr. Young should be putting out. His voice is just so well suited to this style. FLAWLESS. The song is called "History" and you can see Young performing it live on Jonathan Ross' show on BBC 1 below. If this
