It’s coming! The Rising is the first EP from electro-punk rockers Five Knives, the band that I named the top ‘Artist to Watch’ for 2013. The re-mixed (for those of you who have their early stuff), re-packaged EP will be released digitally February 4, 2013 on Red Bull Records. In the coming months, as the new “it” band journey towards the release of their first full length this summer, I will continue to follow and introduce you to Five Knives. In the meantime, you can hear -and follow along with – their first single “All Fall Down” by watching the lyric video below. Google Plus: +Five Knives

It’s already one of the hottest songs of the year, but now will.i.am & Britney Spears‘ single “Scream & Shout” has gotten a hip-hop facelift. The new swaggy version includes cameos by Diddy, Lil’ Wayne, Hit-Boy and Waka Flocka Flame. What’s even better? Britney tweeted from the set of the new updated video today!

If you haven’t heard the original version of the song, first of all please crawl out from the hole you’ve been living in, and then listen to it here. Then once you’ve worked up a sweat dancing around to that version, push play below to…

Alright let’s get real, Justin Bieber is a beast. I don’t want to like him (or at least admit that I do), but I can’t help it. After checking out his show in Nashville last week – which was sold out and filled with pre-pubescent screaming girls – his talent is undeniable. His show is filled with pyrotechnics and well choreographed dancing, but in some of the softer moments – or when he takes the drums into his own hands – his talent is clear.  A talent that can play just about any instrument, Bieber is rereleasing his latest record Believe, but this time completely stripped down. A move that…

Last night, Carrie Underwood debuted her dark new video for the track “Two Black Cadillacs.” The single -the third from the singer’s Blown Away album- recalls the result of two scorned women seeking revenge against a cheating lover. In the clip, Underwood is… ready for this?… the OTHER woman! That’s right, little miss goody-two-shoes took on the more controversial role, while strutting around fashionable as ever. Does this women ever look bad?? Watch the premiere of “Two Black Cadillacs” now and by the way, if you can explain the bizarre ending, please comment below and explain it to me. I’m confused. Did Jesus, in fact, take the wheel? Google Plus: +Carrie Underwood

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake teased the world with a viral video that kicked off rumors of a new record and single. The news was confirmed moments ago when the first single from Timberlake’s new record featuring Jay Z debuted online. Timberlake confirmed that he’d been busy working since the summer on the new record, titled The 20/20 Experience, in an open letter to his fans. Read the entire letter below: An Open Letter to you (the fans): I hope this gets to you the right way. It’s the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right??…

When Simon Cowell announced that Britney Spears was joining the judges panel on The X Factor‘s 2nd Season, it was viewed as a brilliant move by the entertainment mogul. Spears, being one of the most famous women on the planet, came with a large fan base of loyal followers which the show’s producers banked would translate to viewers when the show premiered last Fall. Unfortunately the ratings -and her highly criticized lack luster performance on the show- didn’t match her hefty salary, so when the season ended it was immediately assumed that she’d likely not be asked back. Thursday, reports began surfacing that the “Femme Fatale” had bowed out and…

Justin Timberlake is one of the music industries biggest players, but as a solo artist he’s only released two records in the last decade – an unusual trend in the typically-turn and burn industry. Aside from a few collaborations and comedy tracks with The Lonely Island, the singer has strayed from music while he focused on a film career. The world has speculated for months – years even – as to when the “Sexy Back” singer would return to his roots, but Timberlake showed no signs of making a return. Until now. “I think I’M READY,” Timberlake Tweeted before posting a link to the video below, which shows him walking…

On January 18th, Jepsen will be stopping in Nashville with The Biebs and wants to meet YOU!

For the first time in over a decade, rock legend David Bowie announced the release of a new record. The Next Day will arrive in March, but the singer debuted the album’s first single “Where Are We Now?” yesterday on his birthday. In the record’s official announcement, Bowie says: In recent years radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking ….a new record…who would have ever thought it, who’d have ever dreamed it! After all David is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants…when he has something to say as opposed to something to sell. Today he definitely has…

It’s the hottest tour of 2013 and he’s the most chatted about boy on the planet. Just a child with a dream and a few fateful videos on YouTube, Justin Bieber is now one of the world’s biggest superstars.  Late last year, he kicked off the Justin Bieber Live tour in support of his sophomore album Believe. The tour features Carly Rae Jepsen, who had the biggest hit of 2012 (“Call Me Maybe“) and sold out entirely in less than an hour. Didn’t get tickets in that short timeframe? V for Vetrano has your Nashville hookup! The Biebs, along with Jepsen, will make their stop in Music City on January 18th…
