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.

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.

New Music: Tatana - You can't get in my head feat. Natalia Kills


Talk about random collaborations...I would have never ever expected this. The local trance queen in Switzerland DJ Tatana or simply called Tatana released a new album called "Heart". This release actually came with a nice surprise, called "You can't get in my head (If you don't get in my bed)". The whole song is featuring one of my faves, the one and only stunning Natalia Kills.  

I'm not quite sure what to say about this track, it's definitely different from what Natalia has been doing. But I have to say I like it, and her voice fits perfectly, so from my side I give a thumbs up for Ms. Kills and Tatana. I don't really care for Tatana, but might this just be her ticket to a more mainstream appeal? Well, if Natalia gets more popularity with her new single "Kill my Boyfriend" it might, otherwise let's just take it for what it is a random collaboration that resulted in something cool, special and pretty fuckin' amazing.

New Music: Namie Amuro - Sit! Stay! Wait! Down! / Love Story


Namie Amuro is back and all you bitches will have to deal! She's coming all hardcore with her new single "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down! / Love Story".

I know it's hard to understand above sentence, because I'm referring to Namie as bing "hardcore" and she's basically everything but hardcore on that picture.  She looks hot and as usual like she can't be fuckin' bothered. But that's okay, it's Namie we're talking about. She don't need to do a lot to sell them units. She's simply Namie she's effortlessly stunning and her music is always on point. *throwing shade to Kumi's inconsistent vagina*

To the song; It's no "Bad Habit", no "COPY THAT" and no "Wild", but it sure as hell gives "Break it" and "Naked" a run for their money. The song has a very sick production, the chorus is bananas and Namie's voice demanding you to Sit! the fuck down, and all those dog-related commands simply give to the listener a boner. It's one of those songs, you just wanna start dancing and act a bossy bitch.

I'm very curious at what Namie will be offering in the video. I'm not expecting a lot from it. Since basically all Namie videos are flat out snoozefest, besides "Naked" that was fire.
Simply imagine this song would have been given to Koda Kumi. That bitch wouldn't have wasted one single minute to pop her pussy like all them Avex sales depended on it.

Take a listen: 
     

There's not much I can say about "Love Story". It's nothing new, it's nothing innovative, it's a nice ballad and Namie sings the hell outta it. There have been so many similiar ballads, with more or less the same sound-pattern, it's simply gets boring with time and all this songs are simply very forgettable.

Listen:
   

I'm really looking forward to Namie's new album, I hope there's an announcement very soon. iTunes won't let me play "PAST < FUTURE" and "PLAY" any longer, because I've raped the repeat button so many times.

New Music: Rihanna - You Da One

Well, well, well...seems like Rihanna is using again the same pattern as last year.
First release a club banger and then follow up with an RnB slow-jam.

"You Da one" is basically giving me the same thing as "What's my name?" was giving me last year; I hated it first, and came to love it afterwards. I still do to this day.

Actually I'm kinda surprised at how this collaboration between Dr. Luke and Rihanna turned out. It's nothing he's been producing as of now. It's definitely not something he gave Britney or Katy lately, but it's also not redefining pop. He simply provided a nice slice of sunny pop and Rihanna does the rest by giving it a fierce and confidence touch.

It made more or less have the same sound-pattern as "What's my name?" but it completely differs in its content. Later song has a more uplifting and innocent approach as "What's my name?". It's everything but sexual and grown. 

The song is not an instant smash, and isn't really "in ya face" but it is definitely a grower. It's definitely not what I've expected from Rihanna at this point but I gotta give her credit for thinking out of the box and giving us something that us "the public",hough we were used to this kind of music, will have to readjust again.

NEW MUSIC: Koda Kumi - Love me back


Koda Kumi has a new single. Excitement is everywhere. Wait… not really!

Christmas season is approaching, of course this tramp is going to release a new single, nothing new there. I’m actually just surprised that it’s not a Christmas ballad but rather fast paced and skanky.
Kumi has been a bad girl this Christmas, no gifts for her. Sorry.

“Love me back” is pretty much the Kumi we have experienced to know over the past 2.5 years; A Kumi that has no clue, what to do with her life. Her last approach at a more or less consistent album was “Kingdom” back in January 2008. And after that she started to explore the deep nasty holes of electronica elements. On some tracks such as "Taboo" she succeeded, on other tracks she completely messed up “Bling Bling Bling” and on others such as “Physical Thing” and “Driving” she completely exceeded my expectations. This would be all good, but let’s not forget the inconsistency on a monthly basis, with obligatory ballads, those sickly sweet cutesy songs or such songs like “Love me back”.

Pretty much outdated pieces of shit that are simply: fillers, left overs, re-hashes of old Kumi songs and simply disappointing and a huge step back. This song is simply nothing new and compared to her “4 Times” summer single a huge step back. Whereas “4” had new directions such as “Ko so ko so” and “Up in the air”. This one is again the ol’ same.  I could smell “Cherry Girl” and “D.D.D.’s” pussy a mile away. Kumi’s discography has been leaking like an STD infected pussy over the last view years and she definitely needs a plumber.

NEW MUSIC: Madonna - Give me all your love (Demo)


Okay, Imma break it down for you real quick. The queen of pop is sort of back with a demo. So as you all might now -unless you’ve lived under a rock- her new single is called “Give me all your love” and it should drop next year in February and allegedly be performed at the Superbowl. Why allegedly?
Because this shit dropped almost 4 months in advance, and at the point the Superbowl will take place…ain’t nobody gonna care shit, what so ever. In my opinion this song will NOT be performed at all on the Superbowl. She might perform, but not this song. So, Imma just serve you some hot true tea regarding this new demo and give you some insight in my chain of thought.

Madonna’s song “leaks” almost 4 months earlier and we’re supposed to believe that it wasn’t done on purpose? I think this bitch was simply too scared of how the public would react to her “new “sound. Hell, I bet it was even her own self, who went to Isohunt and leaked that shit. She might have come to the idea that it would be vise to sacrifice a song from her new album. In that way she could tap a bit into the water and see if it stayed afloat. Bitch will possibly drop another single in February with even more impact.

As to the song, I’m really sad to report that all them obsessed Madonna stans are liking it and in my opinion it’s flat out rubbish. But don’t quote me on that last adjective just yet.

I was simply not physically ready for a Madgina song at this point, and there was no real promo and so no anticipation was built from my side. Well…thank god!! Cause it would have been a huge disappointment. It’s not “Confessions on a dance floor-Madonna” and it’s sure as hell not “Ray of light-Madonna”. In fact it’s very “Music/2000era-Madonna”. Don’t get me wrong, she had some gems on that album and I liked it at some point. This track gives me so much “Beautiful Stranger” vibes, it’s really frightening. It was real cute back then, but this has to go, it has to go NOW! Its 2011 god dammed. I was expecting something revolutionary and this shit is giving me everything but love and satisfaction.  I came to the conclusion that I’m simply not able to “give it all my love”; I’d rather divorce it.

It sounds outdated as hell, that little dub step segment ain’t helping and those cheerleader chants not catchy, rather annoying. Plus Nicola Roberts and Gwen Stefani did it way better. Also the production of this whole song is a huge mess, and I simply can’t look past the fact that it was produced by Martin Solveig. This guy has fell off real bad since 2008. Damn and I used to like this French idiot back then. He lost all my respect once he released that terrible song “Hello”.

So here I am, sat on my chair waiting for a hotter version to drop real soon, and hoping that William Orbit won’t disappoint with this old hag.
