    #FreeMusicFriday: Cadets

    July 5, 2013 /

    It’s that time again, #FreeMusicFriday! Last week, I introduced The Goodnight Darlings and their infectious new track “Propaganda” and this week I’ve got another new one fresh out of the gate. CADETS is a new project that pairs Ocean Is Theory‘s vocalist, Josh Williams, with emerging producer, Adam Smith. Since pairing up last year, the two have been working on their debut release and have already been tapped for remixes and collaborations with EDM / Kindergarten Records artist, Popeska, and their songs have landed in Jack Wills retail outlets throughout the UK. If you’re a fan of Depeche Mode, M83, Miike Snow or The National, you’re going to want to getcha…

    Justin Timberlake Celebrates Freedom With Explicit New Video

    July 3, 2013 /

    Fresh off the heels of Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines” video controversy, – you know the one with all the naked girls that YouTube removed? – Justin Timberlake debuts the brand new video for “Tunnel Vision,” a track from his 2013 hit record The 20/20 Experience. Like Thicke’s video, “Tunnel Vision” features plenty of female skin … and, frankly, very little else. Watch the NSFW version of “Tunnel Vision” below and pick up The 20/20 Experience on iTunes now.

    Listen To Kanye West’s New Album ‘Yeezus’

    June 30, 2013 /

    Until today the highly anticipated new Kanye West record was pretty much a mystery. No traditional promotion, no lead single and no videos were set to hype the release of the rapper’s sixth studio album, Yeezus. The ego-maniacal rapper stayed fairly low key, as critics began drawing their own conclusions about what the new effort would deliver. But just like a miracle from the Baby “Yeezus” himself, the entire record finds its way online just days before the record’s release. That’s not it, though. Today, West is the most talked about man on the ‘net, as his daughter with celebrity socialite Kim Kardashian was born five weeks early… on the eve…

    Video Premiere: Miley Cyrus "We Can’t Stop"

    June 19, 2013 /

    Miley Cyrus debuted her new video for the single “We Can’t Stop,” in which Cyrus sheds any glimmer of her early alter-ego Hannah Montana. In the video – which plays out much like the film Spring Breakers – Miley and her posse slither around a party doing abnormal, almost circus-like things, including a scene where the singer makes out with a doll in the pool. Wait, you’re still reading?!? After hearing about the doll scene? Yeah, not much else to say after that, so just watch Cyrus and friends “twerk” around in the video premiere of “We Can’t Stop” now and pick up the single on iTunes.

    First Listen: Kelly Clarkson "Tie It Up"

    June 19, 2013 /

    America’s first Idol, Kelly Clarkson, who has had multiplatinum success with pop anthems and power ballads, is tapping into her southern roots with her latest single “Tie It Up.” The singer first hinted at a promising country career when she teamed up with her childhood idol – and future mother-in-law – Reba on the country legend’s Duets record. Since then, the Texas-native has teamed with Jason Aldean for their massive hit “Don’t You Wanna Stay” and with Vince Gill on the single “Don’t Rush,” which appeared on her Greatest Hits album last year. Earlier this month, Clarkson took a break from recording her upcoming Christmas record to take the stage at…

    Harry Styles Heading In Another Direction?

    For months rumors have been circulating that Harry Styles, one-fifth of the massive boy band One Direction, has been working on a solo project. Those rumors appeared to have been confirmed as a new single written by Styles and his rocker friend Sam McCarthy landed online over the weekend. The song immediately sent the band’s fans into a frenzy and breakup rumors swirled.  The band’s rep insists that “Don’t Let Me Go” is single that Styles wrote for a One Direction project that was later rejected and shoots down rumors of a breakup or tension between the band. And while it’s inevitable that Styles will eventually pull a Timberlake and…

    Britney Goes "Ooh La La" For The Smurfs

    June 17, 2013 /

    Britney Spears debuted her new single “Ooh La La” during On Air with Ryan Seacrest early this morning. Spears said she recorded the song, which is part of the new Smurfs sequel The Smurfs 2, for her sons – Sean Preston and Jayden James – who love the first film. The youngsters will also appear in the single’s video, which is expected to drop next week. While the song is something a little more kid-friendly than her previous efforts, Britney confirmed her new album, produced by Will.I.Am. is in the beginning stages and is expected to be more adult, during her interview with Seacrest. And while she wouldn’t confirm the…
