Anastacia Set To Release New Version of 'What Can We Do (A Deeper Love)', Promises "2012 is Happening"

I can't believe that it's been over three years since the release of Anastacia's last album, 2008's Heavy Rotation. That's an insanely long time for the world to be without one of the greatest pop voices of all time.  Well, the wait is nearly over music lovers.  According to Anastacia via a January 17th video blog on her newly relaunched website, 2012 is going to be a big year for the 43 year

Ones to Watch in 2012: Rebecca Ferguson

I've had my eye on 25 year old Rebecca Ferguson since her flawless days appearing on the seventh series of The X-Factor in 2010. From the moment she first stepped foot on that audition stage, I knew big things were in store for the Liverpudlian single mother. Since coming in second on The X-Factor, the stunning Rebecca Ferguson has been hard at work launching her solo career.

Hot Video Alert: Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light

I find it hard to believe that the last post I did on Florence + The Machine was back in May 2010 with a write up on the "Cosmic Love" video.  That's insane!  Clearly my blogging has taken a back site to life over the past few months.  Case in point? Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that I'm just NOW watching the video for Florence + The Machine's new single, "No Light, No Light." Well, I

Hot Video Alert: Dia Frampton - The Broken Ones

Released back in November, "The Broken Ones" is the first official single from Dia Frampton, one half of the sister-sister singer/songwriter duo Meg & Dia and runner-up on the premiere season of U.S. reality show The Voice.  While I'd heard of Meg & Dia before, I really only got to know Dia for the first time while she appeared on The Voice and it was then that I fell in love with her

Erika Jayne Lands Sixth Consecutive #1 on Billboard's "Hot Dance/Club Play Songs" Chart, Remains Flawless

Erika Jayne really knows how to make an entrance.  In the video for her latest club stomper, "Party People (Ignite The World)," Jayne slinks into the room, dressed to kill in a hot pink leather jacket, hounds tooth mini dress and sparkly Louboutins. With an entrance like that, it was pretty clear to me that Erika Jayne was well on her way to the top.

Hot Video Alert: Selena Gomez & The Scene - Hit The Lights

Fan Art by mikayla156 via Coverlandia

Well it certainly appears that pint-sized pop princess Selena Gomez has found her pop music niche.  Unfortunately for Gomez, that niche - catchy-but-generic dance/pop - is one that I'm quickly growing tired of.  Case in point, her latest single.  The Dreamlab-produced "Hit The Lights" (released all the way back in October) was co-penned by Leah Haywood,

Review: Little Boots - Shake

"Shake" is the latest offering from 27 year old English electropop diva Victoria Christina Hesketh, better known to lovers of classy-not-trashy synth-laden smashes as Little Boots. "Shake" offers listeners a tease off of what's sure to be one of my most-anticipated albums of 2012, the young DJ/singer/songwriter's sophomore album, due out sometime this year via 679 and Atlantic Records.  

Ones To Watch in 2012: Yasmin

Yasmin is someone I've kind of been sitting on for a while, then with all of my laziness and blog inactivity just sort of forgot to post about.  Man, am I sorry about that now! I'm right now, for the very first time, listening to Yasmin's new "old school, reggae infused carnival jam," "Light Up (The World)" featuring D'n'B/Jungle master Shy FX and the lovely Ms. Dynamite.  While I know

Hot Video Alert: Wolfette - Trophy Girl

Wolfette ROCKS. No doubt about it.  When I heard her second official single, "Different Story" last summer there was something about her that I just loved.  Obviously there was something, I hailed her one of my 'Ones To Watch' in 2011.  Sorry it took me until 2012 to post something else about her. My how time flies.  Wolfette is feisty, fiery...she just has it.  Her music is the perfect blend

Hot Video Alert: Sarah Burgess - Sassy

Sarah Burgess...where have you been all my life?  She's got a sort of Kat Graham/Neon Hitch mixed with Jessie and The Toy Boys vibe about her, which I love! A new(ish) video for a song called "Sassy" was recently sent to me and while I've only watched it a couple of times, I can already safely say that I'm obsessed with this girl.  The Ohio-born and current Pittsburgh resident, 24 year old

Hot Video Alert: Katy Perry - The One That Got Away

As much as I now love Katy Perry's latest Teenage Dream single, "The One That Got Away," seeing Perry in old woman makeup is making it rather difficult to take her seriously.  I'm of course referring to the Floria Sigismondi (Katy Perry's "E.T.", the film Runaways)-directed video in which Perry, playing herself as an old woman, reminisces back on an old love (played by Diego Luna) who died

Hot Video Alert: Graffiti6 - Free

So...Graffiti6 released a new video. It's not flashy, it's not crazy...it's understated and beautiful.  The Jay Martin-directed video is for the English electropop/rock duo's latest single, "Free" lifted off of their EP of the same name which came out back in October.  Set in a sparsely furnished loft somewhere in download LA, the video features an incredibly sexy Jamie Scott (lead singer)

Hot Video Alert: Mylène Farmer - Du Temps

I can't believe that the last Mylène Farmer single/video I posted about was 2010's brilliant RedOne-produced "Oui...mais non." Clearly I've dropped the ball with regards to this fabulous French dance/pop diva.  "Du Temps" is the most recent single released by the French Madonna and like all of her recent hits, it's uber catchy, despite my not knowing what the hell she's singing about.

Hot Video Alert: Melanie C - Weak

"Weak" is the second official single taken from The Sea, the new album from former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm (AKA Melanie C), her first album in four years.  It's a beautiful, stirring pop ballad that really showcases the voice of the Spice Girls.  Despite having to share the spotlight with four other ladies, there's no denying that Sporty was the one with the pipes.  Sure, the others
