The Melker Project x Daft Punk x Indeep - “Last Night Daft Punk Saved My Life”

2013-04-29T04:42:14+00:00

The next few days are gonna be busy for me, but I will make an effort to not neglect my blogging duties too, too much. While I have a minute to share though, let’s get into a new jam, shall we?

So I just blogged about the new Daft Punk single last week and went on and…

Janelle Monáe featuring Erykah Badu - “QUEEN”

2013-04-24T06:09:03+00:00

Just from reading “Janelle Monáe featuring Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N.”, I knew that I was in for a good time and the ladies do not disappoint. The Badu/Monáe is an epic collabo of BeyonGaga-ntuan proportions for the “alternative R&B” crowd.

Over a funky Prince-esque groove seemingly plucked from the 80s, J. Mo & La Badu have crafted a (sista) girl power…

Jessie Ware - “Love Thy Will Be Done”

2013-04-24T06:06:02+00:00

Oh Jessie, I really tried to give you a chance. I may not have appreciated most of the supper club pop music from your debut album last year, but I was feeling the throwback house vibe of recent release “Imagine It Was Us”. However, I’m saddened to find myself back on “Team ‘Nope!’” after hearing your latest offering.

I really gave “Love…

PSY - “Gentleman” (Video)
OK, let’s just get it out of the way… “Gentleman” is no “Gangnam Style”. Mister P does put his best foot foward though (ha ha) to avoid being banished to Novelty Hit Hell with his latest single. Much like its predecessor, “Gentleman” finds…

TLC - “Creep” (Alternate Video Versions)

2013-04-08T01:56:42+00:00

So I wrap my brain around the fact that TLC’s classic video for their ‘94 smash “Creep” was actually a do-over, and then I learn mere minutes later that the alternate version below is actually the second of three(!) attempts to get the visuals right.

The official released video for “Creep” is iconic—- so much that Keri Hilson paid homage…

Kastle featuring Janet Jackson - “Work It Out”

2013-04-04T23:04:58+00:00

* Big Sigh *—- The proverbial grain of salt should always be taken when an entertainer/athlete (or “the media”) announces his/her retirement from their respective field and though I do have a can of Morton’s at the ready, I can’t help but feel there might be a grain (ha!) of truth in the report…

Beyoncé - “Mirrors” (2013 Pepsi Commercial)
O.K., so I saw B’s teaser yesterday and I, like everyone else on the planet, assumed she was debuting new music—- perhaps the official lead single from her upcoming album perfectly timed with the buzz successfully achieved from “Bow…

Jessie Ware - “Imagine It Was Us”

2013-03-23T05:39:47+00:00

I’ve been hearing about this Jessie Ware chick for more than a minute. Ohhhhhh how the music bloggers have been raving about this girl, crowning her as the next big thing and even going so far as to call her “the new Sade”—- you say what now? Oh, so anybody female from the U.K. making sorta chill, downtempo music rocking a snatched back ponytail gets hailed as…

Justin Timberlake - “Mirrors” (Video)

2013-03-20T04:48:35+00:00

While I’ve been underwhelmed by the actual music fueling Justin’s return to pop music, the promotional campaign has been decidedly more impressive. With memorable stops on Saturday Night Live and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon as well as a slick, well produced video that was much better than the song for lead single “Suit & Tie”, JT has somehow made…

AlunaGeorge - “Attracting Flies” (Video)

2013-02-27T06:07:47+00:00

It’s always a good time when there is new AlunaGeorge to be heard. Although I was feeling the early house vibe of “Disclosure”, their recent collabo with fellow U.K. scenesters Disclosure, I wasn’t totally in love with the track as I was with last year’s double whammy of “Your…
