Hot Video Alert: Florrie - Experimenting With Rugs
English singer/songwriter Florrie's latest single, "Experimenting With Rugs" has a video! Shot in London by director Lee Jenkins, the video is more of a promo reel than anything else, as it doesn't feature Florrie lip-syncing along to the song, rather showing the beautiful talent all dolled up and striking a bunch of fierce poses. I'm down!
"Experimenting With Drugs" is taken from Florrie's
Joss Stone Moves Ahead with Album Release, Joins Mick Jagger-lead Super Group
After all that Joss Stone has been through in the past couple of months, I was half expecting her to delay her forthcoming album release but it appears that things are moving along as planned. Stone has released her new single, "Somehow" on her website and all I have to say is, it's nice to have Joss Stone back in her element. "Somehow" is a soulful song with plenty of swagger and THE perfect

Hot Video Alert: Grant Smillie feat. Zoë Badwi - Carry Me Home
Australian singer/songwriter Zoë Badwi, one of my 'Ones to Watch in 2011' just released her latest single, "Carry Me Home" on June 3rd.

Natalia Kills Releases New will.I.am-Assisted Single
In case you haven't heard, there's a new Natalia Kills single out today in the States and it's the perfect summer jam!

Ones to Watch in 2011: Avery
Let me introduce you to Avery, a 16 year old singer/songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona. Recently signed to Universal Records as one of the youngest artists on the roster, Avery's latest single, "Go Screw Yourself (GSY)" is an attitude-filled pop-punk anthem guaranteed to make you move. Very reminiscent of Avril Lavigne in her prime, "Go Screw Yourself" has HIT written all over it, and seeing

Hot Video Alert: Kristin Chenoweth - I Want Somebody (Bitch About)
I was THRILLED when I heard that Broadway singer and television actress Kristin Chenoweth is releasing a new studio album and single. What I wasn't expecting was a country song! Really a fabulous little number, "I Want Somebody (Bitch About)" is actually a little bit country and a little bit Broadway, taken from Chenoweth's upcoming fourth studio album Some Lessons Learned, due out September
Swedish Dance Diva Therese Releases New Single, Album Due Out in the Fall
If you're as big of a dance music freak as I am, then in all likelihood, you're familiar with a Swedish dance-pop artist by the name of Therese. Therese collaborated twice with Swedish DJ and producer StoneBridge, one in 2004 on the single "Put 'Em High" and then again in 2005 on the single, "Take Me Away." Both singles were massive hits on dance charts worldwide, even hitting #6 and #9

Can Skylar Grey Make It As A Solo Artist? The Jury's Still Out
When I first heard Skylar Grey featured on Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home" I thought to myself, "I wonder what ever happened to Holly Brook?" You remember Holly Brook, don't you? The female vocalist on Fort Minor's one and only hit song, "Where'd You Go." Well, turns out that Holly Brook and Skylar Grey are one in the same. I guess that answers my question!

Hot Video Alert: Rihanna - Man Down
Rihanna premiered her controversial new video earlier this month on VEVO and I'm just now seeing it for the first time. "Man Down," Rihanna's fifth single from Loud, was written by Shama Joseph, Timothy Thomas, Theron Thomas as well as fellow Barbadian singer/songwriter Shontelle Layne. The reggae-tinged single, which was also produced by Shama "Sham" Joseph took it's sweet time growing on me
Joe Jonas to Premiere 'See No More' Video June 29th on E!
I'm honestly still on the fence about Joe Jonas' new single. I wanted to love it but I can't help but think of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell's foray into urban-electro territory with 2009's Scream. That album certainly had it's moments, overall it was a risk that just didn't pay off. While Chris Cornell's leap from alt rock to electro-pop was considerably more drastic than Joe Jonas, I

Hot Video Alert: Jakwob feat.Smiler - Right Beside You
I detest live music videos. They just seem like such a cop out to me. I understand label purse strings are tight but live music videos are just so freakin' boring! Case in point, the official video for UK dubstep DJ/producer Jakwob. His latest single, "Right Beside You" was released on June 20th via Boom Ting Recordings, the video for which features Jakwob and guest rapper, Smiler both in

Hot Video Alert: CockNBullKid - Yellow
Poor CockNBullKid! Wherever she goes she's being followed by shady characters. In the video for "One Eye Closed," she's followed by scary monsters. In the video for "Hold On To Your Misery," she's followed by dancing, pouty pint size dopplegangers. In "Asthma Attack," girl is just trying to walk home at night when all of the sudden, these random back up dancers show up and start
Hot Video Alert: Britney Spears - I Wanna Go
The new Britney Spears video for "I Wanna Go" is here and it's basically amazing. Sure, in this post apocalyptic "Toxic" Brit Brit universe, no video will ever be as amazing as "Toxic" but I'd like to point out several decently hot BS videos that have come out post 2003. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Taylor and Hayley Hasselhoff Are...Bella Vida
When I first heard that David Hasselhoff's daughters, Taylor and Hayley, were pop stars, I was hesitant to say the least. Given their Dad's amount of...erm..."talent" I really had low expectations when it came to the girls. That all being said, I think I might have misjudged what a good beat, some vocal effects and yes, a smidgen of talent, can really do. Going by the name Bella Vida, "

Ones to Watch in 2011: Jake Troth
Jake Troth is a talented singer/songwriter that you all should be aware of. His "soulful and pop infused arrangements" have already earned him comparisons to a bevvy of my favorite artists, including Amy Winehouse, Broken Bells and Coldplay. After hearing his latest single, "Material Things," I might have to add Swedish electro-pop singer Lykke Li to the mix. Troth took the time to explain

"Rabiosa" (AKA Rabid in Spanish) might be one of my favorite songs off of 34-year old Colombian pop superstar Shakira's latest album, Sale el Sol. This fiery number has been described as "giddy, rapid-fire Latin pop" and a "meringue-rock hybrid," both of which describe this song perfectly {SOURCE 1, 2}.

I've been hearing about singer/songwriter Amos Lee for some time now. I've listened to him before, but for one reason or another, his music just never struck the right note with me.

Hot Remix Alert: Neon Hitch Feat. Wale - Silly Girl
Boy do I have a HOT remix for ya'll. You may remember when I posted about "Silly Girl," a new Benny Blanco-produced jam from UK singer/songwriter Neon Hitch. The slick dubstep track was co-written by Hitch and Switch (haha - Hitch & Switch) and sounds very reminiscent of Robyn. This version of "Silly Girl" features a guest rap by American rapper Wale and unlike most rapper remixed tracks,
