    Video Premiere: Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran "Everything Has Changed"

    Taylor Swift‘s latest single “Everything Has Changed,” which features her Red tour’s opening act Ed Sheeran, now has an innocently sweet accompanying video. The clip, released on Vevo today, follows the budding friendship between two adorable children – who just happen to be the exact doppelgängers of Swift and Sheeran. Unlike Swift’s previous videos, the singer-songwriter doesn’t appear in the video until the final moments where she and Sheeran make brief cameos. The single, from Swift’s smash hit album Red, follows mega-successful hits “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Begin Again,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “22.” The duo, who both appeared on last night’s CMT Awards will continue…

    Tom Odell’s Got "Another Love"

    Preparing for the release of his full length debut Long Way Down, the British singer known as Tom Odell delivers his new “short film” video for the single “Another Love.” The track first appeared on the singer’s 2012 released EP Songs from Another Love. When I first heard Odell’s fresh sound and vocal delivery on his lead single “Hold Me,” I was instantly hooked. The past few weeks I’ve found myself growing increasingly more intrigued by the buzzing Brit and the unique promotional efforts he [and his team] have used to build hype surrounding the upcoming release. With the appeal of a grungy Tiger Beat teen and the talent and style of…

    First Listen: Lana Del Rey "Queen Of Disaster"

    The pouty-mouthed songstress whose latest single “Young & Beautiful” is the standout track from The Great Gatsby soundtrack is at it again. After the rebooted deluxe release of Lana Del Rey‘s debut album Born To Die emerged last fall, rumors swirled that the self-proclaimed gangsta Nancy Sinatra was going to hang up her mic and focus on new projects – albeit her modeling career was one of them, after being named the face of both H&M and Jaguar (yes, really). Luckily for me, those rumors were the farthest thing from true as new tracks have emerged online. The first, “Queen of Disaster,” is said to be a track in consideration for her…

    Move over Big & Rich. Party’s over Gretchen Wilson. There’s a new group of red-red-red-red-rednecks taking over the genre.

However, in the recent months the pair have lent their powerhouse celebrity to some of their country-fried friends creating a new kind of country clique.

The single off McGraw’s Two Lanes of Freedom record has been racing up the country charts and now, with the addition of a dramatic new video the single will…
