Lady Gaga ends promotion for "Born this way"

Well I guess it's curtains for the Born this way-era. Honestly, I couldn't be happier because it was such a big hot mess and it dragged and dragged and it tried way to hard and failed.

What was the line Gaga said during the start of 2011: "The best album of the decade". Ohm, right..!

An Interscope executive has confirmed to Billboard this week that they're not aware of any current plans for another single to be released from Lady Gaga's album Born this way. Gaga is already working on a new album and they hope to release it this year. *shrugs at the thought of it*

Now, I'm not the biggest Gaga fan but I know from a true source (yes my boyfriend is a little monster), that he's everything but happy about the outcome and the choice of singles in this era. In fact, and I agree on this one, gems such as "Government Hooker", "Scheisse", "Bloody Marry" and "Heavy Metal Lover" have completely been sidelined by Gaga. Those were the songs, and I think I can speak for most of the fans, we were rooting for.

Instead she gave precedence to those songs that in her belief were: the true spirit of the album (The edge of glory), this sort of "it gets better songs" (Born this way) & I'm trying to be everything else but a superficial, fame whore songs (You and I)". She tried so desperately this era, to out-do herself, to be indie, to be the spiritual leader with songs that seemed to have been recorded in a church and dragged along a glitter-infested dance floor. It was simply annoying at some point and it was clear, people started to grow tired of her.

This led to her singles failing to chart in the top ten, one after the other or arriving there and getting bitch-slapped by Adele's "Rolling in the deep". Yes, she sold 5.5 million records, and maybe you can blame it on today's economic climate that it's not as good as the Fame-era, still it is definitely not a flop. But with all the promotion she got, she should have shifted as much units as Adele or even more. Which leads me to my next point...

Well it seems like "Marry the night"'s bombing on the chart triggered this era's soon ending, and most probably Gaga's over-exposure, her so tired shocking-techniques and of course her, over-hyping the whole project like her rent depended on it led to it. The era "Born this way" was simply handled wrongly to begin with, and they made it seem as if it was the best thing since sliced bread with Nutella. And it clearly isn't. It was just another pop record.

At this point I just want to say one thing: Gaga stay away from the lime-light, as long as possible. Make your homework and try to bring something fresh and new. You're way to talented to end up as the next Cindy Lauper and if you keep up like this, you will be. In the beginning the biggest thing and some years later sent to oblivion.

Cassie to release "King of Hearts" on Valentines Day. FINALLY!

After years trying to avoid Valentine's Day at all costs, I have now two things to look forward to this year:

#1 - My boyfriend and I will be exactly 9 months together on February 14. I love him to death. <3
#2 - Ms. Ventura will release her outrageously much anticipated new single "King of Hearts".

She dropped the news via her official twitter:

I was hoping for another "King of Hearts" snippet, but instead the link leads to a new photo of Cassie, shot by NYC photography duo Gomillion & Leopold.

Here's the photo:

My personal opinion: I think it would have looked better with some really fierce stilettos. But at this point, who gives a damn. Here we have again the teaser for "King of Hearts". I can't fuckin' wait to get my long overdue Cassie-dose.

New Single: Namie Amuro - Go Round

Namie Amuro must have gotten wind that Koda Kumi shamed her on the video for "Escalate" by snatching her concept for "Love Game" and taking it to the next level. So as the good veteran that she is, she's not gonna sit there and let this thing go. In fact she's back with the first single for 2012 called Go Round.

The single will be released March 21, and will come in two editions: CD & CD+DVD. So nothing new there. There's going to be a B-side called "YEAH OH" included on that single. According to her Facebook page the PV is already scheduled to be shot. Let's see what Mrs. Amuro cooks up for this release. "Go Round" sounds like an upbeat song and it best be top notch. I'm talking "WILD" and "What a feeling levels". "YEAH OH" doesn't really scream ballad, which is a good thing. I'm fed up of Namie's ballads. They've all sounded so generic and never managed to reach the high level of "The meaning of us".

I don't know about you guys but I smell a new album with a summer release. I'm not to excited yet, because Namie's single have been well...not really her best. Besides "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!" that was in my opinion absolute fire and her best in 2011. I just really hope she redeems "Naked/Tempest/Fight together", because I really didn't feel that single. Naked was way to over the place, that song was trying way to hard and it failed to deliver and the other two were generic as f*ck.

The Queen of Hip-Pop is coming for wigs.

New Britney Spears music in 2012 after all?

It seems like Brit Brit, is not ready to go on vacation in 2012 without giving her fans a nice treat. According to an interview with Capital FM, Black Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Ain't confirmed that Britney would appear on his forthcoming album #willpower.

Capital FM interview:

"Speaking about the albums collaborations, Will.I.Am said: "I have a song with Alicia Keys - me, Alicia and Swedish Housemafia. I have a song with the Beats, which is pretty grand. Me and Shakira have been trying to finish the stuff we started, and me and Britney is really crazy."

As you all know, I'd really enjoy to take a can of coke, some popcorn and watch Will.I.Ain't get hit by a truck, but aside from that, I really have to say that I can't wait for new Britney music. Hate on a bitch as much as you want, that she can't sing, can't perform for shit yada, yada, yada, but her songs are airtight.

The beat just dropped and the room got sexy.

Crystal Kay sets the date for new single & live house tour

It's official, CKay will be releasing her new single on March 14 and it's going to be a double A-side single featuring two new songs. Both tracks will be produced by BACHLOGIC, who were also in charge for "Superman".

The first songs is called "Delicious na Kinyoubi" , it is described to be an up-beat song and a happy number that pretty much reminds us to have fun and spend time with your friends and family. Might this actually be "Kirakuni" part two? God, please let it be. On the other hand we have "Haru Arashi" that was written by Crystal Kay and is said to be a fitting song for the season of departure. I assume this is a ballad, but who knows.

"Delicious na Kinyoubi" will be available previously to it's physical release on Chaku-Uta on February 24.

There's no stopping Crystal Kay this season; she also announced that she will go on a tour titled "Crystal Cafe 2012", in March and will also host a charity event called "Live Unbreakable Spirit" on April 15 at the Yokohama BLITZ.

I'm very pumped for this release. So glad CKay is back on that grind. WERK it gurl!

Album art: Madonna - MDNA

QUEEN OF EVERYTHING!

It's everything, it's colorful, it's fierce, it's modern, it's futuristic, it's f*cked up, it's so vogue, it's L-U-V Madonna, Y-O-U you wanna? YES!!!!!!

Madonna just released the album cover for her soon to be released album MDNA on her official Facebook page. It's simply flaw-free and outrageously hot in a twisted kind of way. At this point I'd like to thank Madonna, from the bottom of my heart. Gurl, you kept your legs closed this time. U okay? *kudos*

Now bitches, better dress warm because Madonna is comparable to the shock wave of cold wind that is coming from Siberia. It will leave bitches bald, shaking & cring in a corner. It has no mercy and is ready to annihilate whatever comes in it's way. 

I can't, I simply cannot. We are not worthy! 

MDNA will be released on March 26. (iTunes)

Single art: Madonna - Give me all your luvin' & M.D.N.A. press release

Who wants some MDNA? 

I know...it's Monday, but hey the beat goes on and so does Madonna. As you can see, here we have the official single art for Madge's first single "Give Me All Your Luvin". Let me tell you, I L-U-V this single art, it's so fresh, so juvenile and yes, Madonna went and slapped Mariah Carey in the face with the concept of this one. *rolls eyes and looks over to Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel*

The difference in both covers? This one won't flop.

The single cover, comes from the official press release for MDNA, which pretty much reveals some hot new information about Madonna's upcoming project:

♪ Give me all your luvin' will be released on Friday, February 3.
♪ MDNA will be released on March 26 on Interscope Records.
♪ The video will be directed by Megaforce and will be chearleader and football-themed.
♪ The video will premier on American Idol on Thursday, February 2.
♪ MDNA features production by William Orbit, Martin Solveig, The Demolition Crew, Marco "Benny" Benassi and Alessandro "Alle" Benassi, Hardy "Indigo" Muanza, Michael Mahli and last but not least Madonna.
♪ Madonna will appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Lenno on Monday, January 30.
♪ Also, iTunes will be offering a global pre-order of the 18-track deluxe edition of MDNA, along with an exclusive remix in between February 3 and Feburary 6 for $9.99.

Overdosed and dead.

And here comes the cherry on top of the whipped cream. A short preview was premiered of the "Give Me All Your Luvin" video. Check it out: 

They look very good all in all, and the whole thing so gives me Gwen Stefanie "Hollaback girl" vibes. I so need to see this.

MDNA will be released on March 26. (iTunes)

Music Video: Koda Kumi - Lay Down

Koda Kumi went and snatched Nicki Minaj and Ayumi's wigs with this visuals for "Lay Down". Her wig game never looked better, I was really feeling that purple short dress she was wearing with the straight-ironed hair and the tights. The effects in the dark with her lips and make-up glow looked simply incredible and she did a better job than Nicki did with "Superbass". Plus the song fits perfectly.

You could really see, that a bitch enjoyed herself, while being carried around through the crowd. I wish she would have spun that ponytail like a propellor. I bet Bey wouldn't have wasted a second to spin that shit. Bet hey, Kumi grabbed her titties, touched a guys crotch (Juicy-style) and crowd surfed like a pro.
All in all, very good video clip from Kumi-san. Now go and buy the album, it's worth every Yen.

New Album: Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

STOP YOUR ENTIRE LIFE! 

Today it's January 27th, this means a certain lady has dropped probably one of the most anticipated albums of 2012. Ms. Lana Del Rey is here to stay and all the haters, stay pressed. So all the people who actually enjoy good music, please follow this link to buy Lana's new album. It's simply flawless.

I've been listening to it for the last couple of days since it leaked online and now I can listen to it with a good feeling behind it because I have my pre-ordered copy, the deluxe version, might I add.

A review of this masterpiece will follow shorty, so stay tuned for it. I can already say that's really really good, and she does not disappoint on a single song. If this doesn't get to #1 at one point I don't understand people, because this is real music. Songs like "Radio", "Dark Paradise", "Lolita", "Off to the races" and "Summertime Sadness" are on par with her smash hits "Video Games" and "Born to Die".

Choose your last words.

 This is the last time...cause you and I we were born to die!

Lana Del Rey covers "Complex Magazine". Remains flaw-free!

Lana del Rey might have gotten a backlash for her SNL-performance three weeks ago. But it's definitely not slowing her down. In fact it might be bad publicity, but at the end of the day better bad publicity than none.

Lana doesn't give a shit about others, so that's why this cover shoot is so fitting. The 25-year-old stood in front of the lenses for Complex Magazine; the outcome: A classy Lana Del Rey with a short and sexy khaki-colored trench coat, holding a big black umbrella and shielding herself from the storm. She gives Rihanna a run for her money. Never did a woman look sexier with an umbrella.

The pictures is definitely a symbolism of all the downpour of criticism that Lana had to deal with lately. Put she never looked better and her eyes let her seem cool and unimpressed. Simply flawless.

She shared some thoughts on her way of performing: "My real fans know I'm not a showstopper on stage. I don't have f*ckin' circus lights. I just don't care. My fans are there because they want to hear the record live." Del Rey, also shared the fact that she's not driven to make the world listen to her pop songs. She told Complex: "I wasn't sing or die. I was also passionate about my community. I felt like I could have gone in several directions."

She went on to say that her life growing up was everything but perfect: " I know how to go, from being a non-functioning member of society to a functioning one," she told. "I was crazy!".

She wouldn't go further into details, which leaves me with a starving interest: " I won't go into it. It's not helpful to know. I was just reckless. But that was a long time ago. Being human is difficult. Some people make it more difficult than others. I was one of those people." PREACH IT GURL! I know exactly how she feels.

Well, I think anyone who still thinks that she's fake and not real about herself is just not listening here. Well, she has an answer for that, too: "I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic."

Haters gon' hate. There's nothing we can do about it. I know just one thing. Her music gives me life and she's bringing back real music in this glitter-infested after hour filled with dirty and generic beats.

Thank you Lana.

Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" available on iTunes now! Buy it.

New Music: Kris Allen - Vision of Love (Maison & Dragen Remix)

I don't really follow American Idol and its winners, well maybe Kelly Clarkson on a good day but that's about it. So while raiding my fave blog's, in this case JonAli's Blog, I somehow stumbled on Kris Allen and was reminded that he also exists. He was pretty much  eye...overshadowed by Adam Lambert, but for people who don't know, he's the actual winner of American Idol. Adam simply has the advantage of make-up and the better cock-sucking skills. But back to Kris Allen, I always found him very charming, handsome, adorable and incredibly cute.

So this guy's been busy lately, working on his sophomore album and the first single will allegedly be titled "Vision of Love". The single-edit is not out yet, but somehow a leaked remix hit the web. The remix was made by Finnish duo Maison & Dragen and I have to say it's awesome.



Kris sounds really good, singing in his higher register over heavy house beats, 90's keys and lacing his vocal ability perfectly with the different synths that enrich this song. It's so refreshing to hear a guy who can actually high-light his voice on a club banger, since most of this songs get sung by the ladies like Rihanna, Britney or Adam Lambert.

I really hope the original-edit can live up this one, because I'm really loving it so far. I'll definitely keep an eye on Mr. Kris Allan. Sexy muthaf*cker!

Kylie Minogue celebrates K25 & Releases Orchestral Version of "Finer Feelings"

It's almost incredible that Kylie Minogue is already 25 years in the game. I've been loving ever since she release "Can't get you out of my head". She's a stunning, humble, flawless goddess of pop and I'll always be a Kylie die-hard fan.  

So in commemoration of her 25th Anniversary, the 43-year-old icon will be releasing new orchestrated recordings of her classic songs. The tracks have been recorded at the Abbey Road Studios, but there's still no information on which ones she's actually re-recorded. In fact it's a secret until Kylie herself will go and release them. The first song that has been released is "Finer Feelings", one of the songs that was featured on Kylie's fourth album Let's get to It. The song is simply stunning, and it's incredible what an orchestration can do to a song. While I was listening to it, it was sending me chills all over my body. Incredible. I can't wait for what's more to come from this goddess.

Do you like it? Check out her official website, it's been updated.

New Video: Kelly Rowland - Keep It Between Us

Kelly Rowland is back with her new video for "Keep it between us", which serves as the third official single form her third studio album Here I Am. The video is basically, Kelly and her boyfriend finding love in Paris. The video is nothing special, but it has some nice views of Paris, Kelly looks good as usual and the lighting is very well placed in the shots.

In my book this song is definitely no single material, but I guess at this point of the album-cycle it's not gonna make a big difference. Let's face it, you can not call this a successful album, and most songs on it leave a lot to be desired. I think I never managed to listen to the whole thing once, without having to skip most songs, because they were so generic and boring. So yes, I'd be very surprised if she could resurrect that album with this single-choice. Kelly, if you wanna hear my opinion, it's curtains, dust yourself up and simply try again and do it better next time.

Crystal Kay announces, new single and new tour. WERK it!

Crystal Kay is a busy woman these days, and first thing she did was apologizing for sucking at vloging. It's all guud Kuri, we're not mad at you gurl. If I would have spent a couple of weeks in NYC, I wouldn't be blogging as well. So you're excused from my side and happy new year to you too. Praise the Lord and all the heavens, I'm genuinely impressed and happy for Crystal at how much Delicous deli, be caring for this woman. It's been what (?) not even a month since "Superman" was available on iTunes and we're already gettin' a new single. As if it wasn't enough, we get a new tour and a fan-club. They want that money printin, I know they want it. Oh and Crystal Kay, in case you be readin' this shit, you got ma money for "Superman" on release day.

There.

Things are moving very fast in comparison to Sony's snooze-fest of a management. Seems like C-Kay is doing just fine. She looks healthy, happy...and damn she's way to humble for her looks. Crystal, you be giving "Beyoncé" and "Janet" a run for their money. You look flawless, never forget that. You're not trying to look good, you simply look good. PERIOD!! Now if you're not following me on twitter after all these compliments, we'll have to have a talk. 

I'm really looking forward to this single, and to the tour. So Crystal, get things ready, set and go. I want an album by the end of the year, tops. And this single, be better some good shit, and puh-lease get a new director. Thanks, Bye.

New Video: Koda Kumi - Love Technique

Wow, it's really dificult to keep up with all the new videos for the Japonesque-era. But enough of excuses, with no further ado, here's the new video for Love Technique. A fun, colorful and playful video from Koda Kumi san. I'm usually not really fond on Kumi's cutesy video, but this one simply makes me giggle and feel like a 15 year old girls from Shibuya. It's so much fun to watch her.

The plot is very simple; basically it's Kumi with her daily relationship troubles, such as: Her boyfriend not helping her wash the dishes, or simpy not giving her enough affection, etc. But do not worry child, there's the Kumi love expert, who basically gives good advice and pretty much influences the couple to make things work and guarantee a healthy relationship.

I really love it, how fun Kumi can be and how versatile she is while incorporating so many personas.
The song is simply addicting, very sugary and upbeat and if this doesn't get you out of a depression then you really need to consider joining a facility.

Take a look:

Sowelu announces new album "29 Tonight"

I really like Sowelu, I really do. But somehow I'm not really sold on her slut-tastic image change. She should leave that shit to Kumi, at least she can pull it off. Plus she's not really consistent and her last album was really not a success, her moaning and acting a hoe didn't really help to push the sales.

This is the reason why she's back and ready to release her next album under Avex called 29 Tonight. Since Sowelu is already 29, this album is probably gonna be a mid-life-crisis mess, about a bitch complaining that she's getting old and as Koda Kumi would like to put it: "She's afraid that her amniotic fluid is rotting".

The album will contain a total of 15 tracks, that will be produced by similar writers and producers that already worked with her in the past. Let's just hope they make this time around a better job, to give her a new sound, that she can call her own. Because the single she released back in September 2011, really left a lot of things to be desired. In fact, "Let me..." didn't do much for me. Those songs simply didn't go anywhere.

She should really focus more on her R&B side and work with Verbal & Taku. Songs like "Never feat. VERBAL" and "Make it Last Forver feat. MIHIRO" were hot, but everything else could have been executed in a better way or smelled to much like vagina's of other Avex hoes. Also, Avex could have gotten a better director and stop the shit with those mini-drama's they always produce. They are not nice, and the acting is beyond akward. It's not of big use, if you have an x-rated mini-porn-flick that can't be shown on day-time television.

NEWS: m-flo to make a comeback after 5 years

It has been confirmed that m-flo are set to make their comeback and release their first original album in 5 years. Now, here I thought that this year couldn't get better, so far we have Koda Kumi's JAPONESQUE (flawless), we know that Madonna and Christina are releasing new music soon and now m-flo. Now all I need is to know that Namie, Crystal and Hikki are all dropping albums this year and I'm a happy stan.

The album will be titled "SQUARE ONE" (very m-flo-esque might I add), and it's scheduled for a March 14th release. The album will contain 15 tracks and will be a mixture of both Taku's and Verbal's styles that they have been experimenting over the last couple of years.

After collaborating with 41 artist for their "LOVES"-series, Verbal has been busy as a member of "Teriyaki Boyz" and launching his solo carrier last March with his first album "VISIONAIR". For my taste, it was a complete let down, except for two tracks that where actually hot "BLACK OUT feat. Namie Amuro & Lil' Wayne" and "Fall Out feat. SHUNYA". Which also led to the biggest disaster to happen in J-Pop: The video for "BLACKOUT" was never released, something that I simply don't get. As if the Tohoku earthquake wasn't enough already. I still hope somebody would leak that damn video already.

Meanwhile, ☆Take Takahashi has remixed Calvin Harris "I'm not alone" and opened up the music service "Block FM", which concentrates on offering dance music.

There's no info yet on if they collaborated with anyone, but this is m-flo we're talking about they simply have to. I simply have some humble fan requests and they can have my money, collaboration with: Crystal Kay, Namie Amuro (she always gets the hottest songs with Taku and Verbal), Koda Kumi before she pops, also BoA, some Emi Hinouchi, Emily and Yoshika, oh and while we're at it some Bennie K, Monkey Majik and CHEMISTRY. I know it's nothing, so humble. Let's face it, me wants the "LOVES"-series back. Stop playing around, you know what's good for you, Taku bring the goods and Verbal get the swagga. Thank you, Bye. 

New Video: Koda Kumi - Boom Boom Boys

Wow, wow, wow!  I'm simply out of words, Kumi left me simply bald with this video.this video was so much fun to watch. Kumi did everything right, from the settings, to her clothes, over to the plot of the video.

Gosh, it's a complete fun song, about a woman who simply doesn't give a shit and wants to have fun. It's similiar to Rihanna's video for "We found love" but the more fun version. Drugs are a topic in this one, from drinking, to smoking and instead of taking pills she gave that whole thing an upgrade and went for the USB-stick. This is how Kumi rules.

She can deliver a message without even having to display actual drugs, but the effect is the same.
Dead, at the view of Kumi kicking that guy out of her bed after a party night. She killed me with that vomiting scene. It was uh-mazing!

I really started to love the song too. While on a first listen, I was not convinced yet...now I'm clearly sold.
The visuals and several plays made me love this song.

So, excuse me while I go and listen to "Japonesque". It leaked in its full glory. At this point I also would like to apologize in case there's no more updates from my side. She might have killed me with to much fierceness.

Koda Kumi -  Boom Boom Boys - [JAPONESQUE] von GSTMIX

My body is simply not ready for this album, it's simply flawless.

I cannot, I simply CANNOT! DEAD!

New Video: Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe

It's official we have the first song of 2012 to classify as "the biggest piece of shit to have ever left a recording studio". I really don't get how people can like this shit? Are some people really that basic?

The title is so fitting, it's beyond incredible: "Yes, Nicki you is a stupid hoe!" 

I kept on watching, and I really thought...hm, it might get better as the song goes on...FAIL!

It didn't! The song got only worse, even more so when she started singing like a little girl. That was the most annoying shit to ever gross my internet connection. I'm so not watching this again and if there's a god somewhere please let it crash down the Billboard charts and go down in flames. This simply can't be a hit.

I'm just really happy that the youtube crowd, seems to agree. The "Like" section shows clearly what people think of this piece of shit. 

And as to the visuals? Why you had to go and recycle Lady Gaga's "big eyes" that she sported 3 years ago in bad romance? I was expecting so much better from you Nicki. Girl, bye!

New Video: Far East Movement - Jello feat. Rye Rye

Far East Movement are coming back soon with their forthcoming album Dirty Bass. Their first single is "Jello feat. Rye Rye".  I noisy club-banger with a heavy bass. So nothing new there, actually I'm not feeling this song. It's not as good as "Like a G6" and neither as good as "Girls on the Dance floor". 

Actually, the best part of the song is Rye Rye's rap. The video has some impersonators and Far East Movement crashing a party, so the usual theme. It's nothing special for them. Oh and by the way, don't confuse "Jello" for the delicious gelatin deserts. Jello equals to ass. Yeah, I know deep!

I wished they would have scratched this song, and went for "Make it bump feat. Koda Kumi". That would have made a nice video for sure. Instead we get, well...this.

The second part of the snippets, contains: Breeze Out, LAST CODE, Happy to be me, PARADE, S.O.S., UPGRADE U! and Amaide Zeitakuna.

Music Video: Koda Kumi - So Nice (Full PV)

F*ck, I'm stuck at work, and I'm not friggin' able to watch Kumi's new video for "So Nice" that just leaked some minutes ago. But thanks to "Kumi-flash" who posted the Download link from "c-k-jpopmusic.tctf.fr" you people can go ahead and watch it.

I normally don't post Download links, but hey it's Kumi...it's fuckin' worth it.

Stay tuned, for my review once I've been able to watch it. Will somebody please upload this ish to Youtube already???

As Britney once said:

...I need "So nice" right now!!!

Here's the download link!

Edit: 5:05pm - and for the people who don't want to download here's a stream.

Edit 9:39 - Well, since it's almost impossible to find a good streaming video of "So nice" that you can actually an embed video, I'll just make it short this time.

Review: Overall I really have to say that I'm very impressed with the visuals for "So nice". Kumi looks stunning, beautiful, like the most beautiful Geisha to have graced the face of Japan. If I'd have to get me a hooker, please tell me where I can sign to get me Kumi. She was really making me question my sexuality. The kimonos were flawless, the hair was amazing and those fierce high-heels combined with the kimono, that's fashion-perfection. 

The song is as I already mentioned a mixture between "Under", "Amai Wana" and most notably "Candy". In fact Mr. Blistah is featuring, which makes sense because it's the exact same music direction as "Candy" was: an oriental, R&B banger with a heavy delicious bass to die for. 

Here I'm left...my body is simply not ready for so much fierceness. Roll over January 25th I think I can speak for everybody: 

We need Japonesque naaaaooohhhh!

Koda Kumi releases second wave of PV previews for JAPONESQUE

Koda Kumi is really not playing this time around, she means serious business and is coming for wigs. She just released the second portion of PV previews for her newest upcoming album "Japonesque".

Let me tell you they're so yummy!!!

She just went, and shamed all them K-Pop and J-Pop bitches, with a 30 seconds preview for "Lay Down". I can't remember the last time, I saw such high production values on a video clip, even more so coming from Koda Kumi. This era is shitting all over her previous work. I can see Ayumi holding on to her wig. I love me some Namie, but she left that woman bald. She just snatched C.L.'s and Minzy's wigs, so much swagger in such a short amount of time.

Lessers? Check your wigs at the counter. 

Kumi just blew the roof off.

Here's my second short review for all the released previews. More after the jump.

Koda Kumi releases PV preview's for JAPONESQUE

Finally, things are starting to definitely roll for Kumi-stans like me. I'm actually really excited after I watched several previews and I have to say they are very promising. Kumi might be pregnant and married but she's making sure that she's going out with a BANG! Bitch, is letting Ayumi Hamasaki look lazy.

From all the previews I've watched, there's not one that screams "filler". In fact the production of every PV I've seen so far is top notch. I bet Jessie J is about to snatch Kumi's director because what Ray Kay did for "Domino" was a literal blasphemy.

I've prepared, a big treat for you after the jump. I've summarized my thoughts on every video. Can't believe I could be bothered, to do this. But hey it's Kumi after all, my #1 Jpop-hoe and she's coming for wigs.

Brandy to collaborate on new track with Monica

I love me some Brandy, I really do. She's like a calm place I can go to whenever I feel sad or something is going on in my life. I pretty much raped Human, Afrodisac and Fullmool. 


The fact that she's soon to release a new album is making my heart beat faster. I can't wait until she releases it in a couple of months. I was even more happy, when I heard that Brandy would collaborate AGAIN with Monica on a song. Rico Love has unveiled that he will be the mastermind behind this track. The track will be released on February 6th and will be appearing on both Monica & Brandy's new records.

According to RCA, the song is titled: "It all belongs to me". It really does sound like a "The boy is mine 2.0" doesn't it? I'm really excited for this.

New Music: Koda Kumi - Boom Boom Boys

Koda Kumi will be releasing a new album called  Japonesque (I know big shock). So it's no surprise, that one week prior to its release, like almost every year, one or two songs somehow end up in the Internet. This year it's "Boom Boom Boys" turn, one of her new songs. Bitch got lucky that the rest of her album is still under lock, four years ago things got really hardcore; I was able to listen almost two weeks earlier to Kingdom. (Check it out, one of her most consistent albums today)

Give it a listen:



I guess it's an alright song. I liked the singles from Japonesque that were released throughout 2011 better, but it's by no means a bad song. Maybe I'll have to give it a couple of listens, so that it grows on me. The song sounds very similar to "Freaky", with rock elements,strong guitar riffs and still a bit dancy. The catchiest part has to be the chorus and Kuu shooting "Boom Boom Boys!!".

As from what I could listen until now from the previews on her official site, it's starting to build up like most of her albums. Some dance songs, some rock songs, some cutesy-sugar-coated songs and a couple of ballads. So nothing new. Let's just hope the quality of the music is better this time around.

Japonesque will be released on January 25th.

Lana Del Rey: Live on Saturday Night Live!

Last Saturday, Lana Del Rey made her US television debut as the musical guest on SNL. The 25 year old goddess, was one of the few people to be able to sing on the show before even releasing her debut album. The last singer to do that, was Natalie Imbruglia more than a decade ago. Well, I wished things would have come out better, but according to a lot of sources she bombed.

Was is her best performance? Definitely not. It definitely wasn't. But was it really that bad? I don't think so. In fact after re-watching the performance for several times, she had her moments where she really lost it but there were also moments that were all right. The main problem was that she really didn't have a clue whether she should sing in a higher register or go for the lower tones. Things got really awkward during the performance of "Blue Jeans".

My take on the whole disaster is basically, her label pushing her way to soon into the limelight. They should have never ever went for SNL. That show is a big f*ckin deal, even Lady Gaga did not perform there after one year later of her debut in October of 2009. We all know Lana's performances are pretty inconsistent, and she said it herself that she's not comfortable performing in front of a huge crowd. You could clearly tell that she was nervous, and those nerves got the best of her. She was struggling a lot and didn't quite know what to do, which obviously led to weird gestures, not being able to sing a note without warbling around, she simply knew that she was fucking things up and didn't make herself a favor by trying even harder. There we have it, she was simply trying way to hard to safe her ass.

I'm pretty pissed at the fact that she's getting such a backlash because of these two performances. We all know, she's truly an amazing singer/songwriter and if they would have only waited a bit longer to polish her stage presence and her singing this wouldn't have happened.

I guess people expect to much from her, she's got slow songs, there's not much she can do and she's no Adele she's got this soft personality and has this fragile thing to herself. It's all about the song and her standing there and singing. She's no Lady Gaga, there are no gimmicks, so I really don't get why people are slamming her like that.

All I can say is, people don't give up on her just yet, I'm so sure she's going to release a masterpiece of an album and she's going to have several chances to redeem this two performances. Just a week ago she shut that shit down on the Jonathan Ross Show. She can do this, she just needs to calm down and everything will be fine.

Take a look at the performances:

Lana Del Rey covers "Interview"-magazine in Russia

Lana Del Rey has gotten a lot of critic for her vocal abilities, but there's one thing the haters can't take away from this girl, she's simply stunning. Lana proved it to errrbody on the cover of the Russian "Interview"-magazine.

Del Rey is lit with a very warm light, giving us a very 1960s vibe, her strawberry colored hair is perfectly placed, the eye-liner sits tightly and demands attention.
Her face is completely taking center stage in this cover, and the bee on her lips is totally giving me "Silence of the lambs" vibes.

There's no other person at the moment who's getting that much attention and such a rapid rise of fame. There's no cover of her that doesn't look fierce, from her Billboard cover to her prom-queen cover for Q.

Bitches better, put on some extra glue on their wigs. They're about to get snatched.

Christina Aguilera promises a very "honest & raw" album

I think we all know at this point that Chrissy is really looking forward to her comeback to prove to all the haters that she still can do this. It's definitely not easy being a successful recording artist nowadays and it sure as hell has its downsides. Christina is no stranger to those downsides, in fact she had a good share of them over the last couple of years. The massive commercial flop that "Bionic" was, the immense Lady Gaga backlash she got for every step she made, to the breakdown of her marriage, the lyrics-disaster at the Superbowl and the recent critics over her gain of weight. Home girl know's the dark side by know.

When "Bionic" started to tank, and Christina had to battle accusations that she was ripping of Lady Gaga, I already knew that she had to experience all this mess, to create a better body of work for her next album. In fact, it was time for her breakdown if you will. Too long, was her life flaw-free there was nothing exciting about her, nothing to really talk about, her songs didn't have the substance they used to have during her "Stripped-era". So to make it short, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger...and gives you a lot of material to write about. I'm really not surprised she went for the more "honest & raw" route, because let's face it, it was the concept of "Stripped" more than a decade ago. That album happens to be her most successful today and in my book a classic.

So this is what she had to say:

“I’m recording my next album right now, and I’m really excited because I find myself in a very introspective stage of my life. I’ve learned so much, have experienced so much, in leaps and bounds. It’s a journey of growth for me, continuously throughout my career. I’m excited to put it all down on paper through my lyrics and my voice as it comes from a very truthful, honest and raw place”.

I don't think she will have the same success, like she had with "Stripped" but definitely no flop like "Bionic. I really accept the fact that she's okay with her weight, but I don't know how she's willing to pull off a song that is called "Love/fuck your body", when people might want to prefer to do that with the lights out.

Meisa Kuroki reveals previews for new album "UNLOCKED"

Meisa can't dance for shit, and she sure as hell can't sing. So every time I see a new release from her, I'm kinda puzzled. But hey, she's stunning and she knows how to get her money. So I can't knock that hustle. All you need in Japan, is to be cute, start with some commercials, eventually land a leading role in some random drama, release a mini-album and you're set. Yen will roll in like yesterday.

This girl is not willing to sit down for a minute, in fact she's going full force for Kumi, Ayumi's and Namie's wigs. While one is busy doing god knows what, the other is pregnant, and the other one is busy divorcing her call boy; she went personally on her official Facebook page to share a compilation of previews of her next album "UNLOCKED". This compilation includes 7 tracks of her new album. She might eventually release the other half very soon, since it's 14 tracks in total.

I'm not quite sure what to think of this songs...I think the last song that I liked from Meisa was "Are ya ready?" and everything else, simply was either generic or I couldn't bare her voice. At some point she simply gets cringe-worthy.

So make sure to take a listen here.

Her new album will be released on February 15th.

Ayumi Hamasaki files for divorce and blaims it on Tohoku earthquake.

It's been one day since Ayumi Hamasaki announced on her official fan club site, that she was officially divorcing from her husband Manuel Schwarz.

Ayu wrote: 

“I am reporting that I will be filing for divorce on Monday in America,” and explained the reason for divorce. “The reason lies within myself. At the time of our marriage, we decided to live in America, however, because of the Tohoku Earthquake that occurred two months later, a strong feeling sprouted within me that I didn’t want to be apart from Japan. I wasn’t able to imagine a life in America, and as a result, I left my husband by himself for a long period of time.”

Seriously, is anyone actually surprised that Ayu filed for divorce? This hoe, marries every f*ckin' guy that co-stars in one of her PV's. It was only a matter of time. You don't marry somebody after only knowing him for three months, that ain't right. I guess he must have been good at hitting her vagina raw or something.

Let's face it we all know how Ayu rolls, it's the same way as with the singles; bitch keeps things fresh and doesn't waste time and moves on. We all know there must have been a huge gangsta language barrier, but when those panties drop we all speak the same language, so this can't be the reason! I sure as hell do not believe it was the Tohoku earthquake neither, he could have joined her in Tokyo...com'on. Plus Avex is constantly printing money into Ayu's bank-account. Bitch could have flown back and forth if she really wanted to stay with him.

Anyway, Ayu will be flying over to the US, to file for divorce in a couple of days. It looks like everything is going well. Avex might have already oganized several recording sessions, to keep this cash-cow busy, no time to think about broken relationships, money has to be printed.

Music Video: Lana Del Rey - Born to die

I know I'm kinda late on this one, but due to holidays and stuff I had to deal with there was no way I could have found the time. But hey, better late than never.

I'm probably reviewing this video because it's one of my favorites in a long time. Ya'll know video's are nowadays nothing special, have a $2.00 budged, are completely boring or epileptic messes with upon 1000 product placements. So this video, was non of that...in fact it's Lana Del Rey's first big-budged music video for "Born to die". I've been playing a shit-load of Lana Del Rey lately, but this song right here got all my love, in fact it's one of my most-listened-ever on my iTunes. Pretty crazy, right?

I guess one of the reasons, why I ended up loving this song so much was because of the video. From the amazing and flaw-free production, to the beautifully shot cathedral scenes, the two tigers (cute), to her make out session with that tattooed guy and to one of the most goosebumps-inducing finals to ever exist in a music video. Let's not even start with how stunning Lana looks, she's to die for. Make sure to watch the entire thing, it's simply worth it.

To all the haters, she might have screwed up the SNL performances but trust on this, we will hear a lot fro Lana this year, and she will redeem those performances, I'm convinced of that.

SHE'S SIMPLY FLAWLESS. LANA-STAN IN THE MAKING!

Madonna finally throws Lady Gaga under a tram for plagiarism!

Madonna finds herself asked a lot of questions during the promo trails for her new movie "W.E.", that's hitting cinemas in the US this month. But one of the questions that burned the most, was revolving Lady Gaga.

Mama Monster completely denied all accusations that "Born this way" was a complete "Express yourself" rip off. On top of that she went to invent a fake e-mail from Madonna that never existed. As you all might remember during a late night show, Lady Gaga when being questioned about "Born this way" sounding very similar to "Express yourself", told the world that Madonna send her an e-mail giving her blessing and wishing her all the best. FAKE HOE! Aside from releasing an MTV Video Music Awards performance from "Express yourself",nothing much happened from Madonna's side.

So, yesterday when asked by Newsweek what she thinks of "Born this way", Madonna answered:

"I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song (Express yourself). I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was... interesting."

Finally, I thought this day would never come. Gaga got her deserved shade. Thank you Madonna, it was over due...ohhh hell, it was soo damn over due. And the best part is, Madonna scalped a hoe in the most polite way ever. But you could smell, the intoxicating scent of poison coming from her words.

Who is the Queen?

And the exquisite throwing of shade, didn't stop here. Madonna went on to say:

"When I first saw her I was really impressed by her and she was cool. She did remind me of me back in the day."

That past tense, stings like a ragging bitch. At last, we know how Madge feels about this cunt. Now what Gaga needs to do, is stop with all her gimmicks, get the fuck off and come back in the end of 2012 with a new album, that doesn't sound like a church choir on ecstasy with a gay banner on top. (this comes from me, and I am gay) Gaga, simply make decent pop music again. Better music, less gimmicks. Thank you. Bye.

MADONNA HAS SPOKEN, ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

Cassie talks upcoming album in January 2012 issue of V Magazine

Miss Cassandra Ventura, is not a woman who likes to get stressed, so that's why she's taking her sweet time to prepare her long awaited comeback since forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

I was almost losing faith (once again), after Cassie premiered the trailer for "King of hearts" a month ago and leaving us with no news up until now. I was already contemplating at the thought of a possible album scrap, it would definitely not be the first time. But this interview with Patrick Sandberg from V Magazine, get's my hopes up and it seems like the engine is starting to finally roll:

From V Magazine:

"The record itself maintains the dark and sultry elements of her early material but merges it with electronic dance, jungle, reggae, and even ska. “At the time I made the record I went out to Ibiza and I really started to feel these jungle beats,” she says. “But at the same time I wanted to keep the ‘Me and U’ tone, really simple and clean. I have a lot of friends who are DJs and they like to mix, so I like to leave a really clean skeleton with the vocal.”

The combination of these new influences with her clean style adds up to a perfect sum of what Cassie is all about this year. “In my video we called it ‘giving ’90s supermodel.’ It’s the perfect definition of who I am right now and what I’m going through,” she says, smiling. “People aren’t going to expect me to come out with what I have.”

So dark and sultry elements & electronic dance, Ibiza jungle, reggae and even ska. Yep I'm soo jumping on that Cassie-train this year. This woman simply will be delivering and showing them hoes who's the Queen of icy Electro-R&B.

I'll be leaving you AGAIN with the video preview for "King of hearts", because those 0:37 seconds slayed my life. Gimme, 90's supermodel bitch!

Madonna's new album is called "M.D.N.A."

The madness is starting to roll in; while taping an upcoming episode for the Graham Norton Show some days ago, Madonna, Queen of Pop and the Galaxy, revealed to the host that her new album will be called M.D.N.A. 


Reports were claiming that Madge wasn't yet sure about it and there's a chance that she might change her mind, but quickly afterwards her official Facebook page confirmed the news, and it's indeed the really title.

From Facebook:

"Madonna just officially announced the name of her upcoming studio album, which is "M.D.N.A"!

Well, there's not much to say, besides the name is fuckin' everything and I love the fact that it sounds the same as "MDMA", otherwise known as ecstasy and a party drug. Adding up to the fact that it's very controversial and forward-thinking. So this definitely gets a pass from my side.

Who's ready for the Queen?
