the interviews are whatever. But what REALLY brought Gaga 'home' for me was her twitter begging for fans to buy Applause... that is beyond messy, especially for a popstar that's supposed to be 'beyond' that kind of stuff and even considers herself above it. When she spoke of being asked to open the VMA's and how she's expected to 'do bigger' every time it was such a reality check. I mean how can you make music that's truly art when you are still fucking pandering to the masses? Jokes.

to me, Gaga was about 'doing her own thing' but little by little... Gaga is just like all these other desperate pop gurls clamoring for purchase on the pop scene and it's like... whatever,



that's interesting, because her 'fearlessness' does not translate in live performances, like, at all. Mess.

No this is how it's always been and how she has always felt. We just get to see this different side of her when she isn't effortlessly slaying, that's all. Gaga has always been it mostly for the fame and success, if that was not the case before her debut wouldn't exist.

yes, that's the truth of the matter, but before it wasn't as obvious as it is now, and I guess that's what makes her less interesting to me, now. :-/

What will Adele sing about now?

Probably 80% of the reason why she slayed was because of her relatable songs.

She has a steady love life, and has a kid.

Not heart-broken, no longer PERCHED for love.

Happy, inspirational tunes now?

Work Bitch isn't getting released in the UK until November according to her manager Adam.

I don't understand this country sometimes.

She could probably release it in a few weeks and get it, but still.

He didn't sound too happy about it either, I guess it was Sony's decision.

Who:
Chromeo is composed of Canadian highschool-buddies-turned-music duo P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) and FOINE ass Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) who handles the vocals. Despite never getting any primetime shine, they've been in the game consistently putting out quality Electrofunk/Disco bops since 2004.

What they sound like:
Immediate comparison is often made to Daft Punk (both groups play with 80s electrofunk and Disco in a VERY similar way), with a little bit of early Prince. Their lyrics are unapologetically male, and plays with a classic type of male-oriented sensuality and bravado that sometimes borders on misogynistic (anybody who has an issue with Robyn Thicke might want to stay away from tracks like Needy Girl and their new bop Over Your Shoulder ). Their sound is 80s electric, and evokes a time when women wore figure hugging spandex mini-dresses and pranced around clubs waiting for men who wore sharp suits to approach them and spit some sharp game. Guitars intertwining with sweeping synths is their calling card. Chromeo perfectly captures what people in the 80s thought the music of the future would sound like.

Chromeo operates best when they're doing smooth, 80's inspired mid-tempo jams like Bonafide Lovin' and Don't Turn the Lights On. But they're equally at home with uptempo beats that get you moving (Fancy Footwork is easily one of my favorite songs by them, and is a dance studio favorite).

The Alberms:


Roy's Favorite Bops:

Fancy Footwork
Bonafide Lovin
Needy Girl
You're So Gangsta (Playgroup Remix)
Hot Mess
Don't Turn the Lights On
When the Night Falls (Feat. Solange Knowles)<---this track right here is the BUSINESS and made me want to hear more songs with Solange as the hook girl.

Coming Soon:

The whole point of this post. A few weeks ago the duo announced their long-awaited follow-up to their 2010 album Business Casual, titled White Women, and today they uploaded their lead single, Over Your Shoulder, to their official Soundcloud account.

(click to listen)

Effortlessly smooth. The perfect end-of-summer groove. This tracks easily blows away every male that's tried it with Electrofunk in the past 2 years, and is a pretty good summation of their overall sound.

So give them a listen and be blessed, sistren.

I listened to Fancy Footwork, Needy Girl, and the Solange song (queen tbh, she slayed the chorus). The production was nice, but the guy's voice is so drab. It doesn't seem like he's putting any sort of feeling into his delivery. I can't get my life to this.

Britney Spears 'Work Bitch': The 10 Best Things About the Single

Billboard said:
On Sunday (Sept. 15), Britney Spears returned with "Work Bitch," a strange, British-inflected, ultimately great new single, presumably from her forthcoming eighth studio album. Having trouble getting on the "Work Bitch" train? Here are 10 reasons why you should love Britney's latest:

1. The BRITish Accent. Let's get this out of the way first: Britney utilizes a British accent on "Work Bitch." This is an okay thing! In a post-"Applause" world, where Lady Gaga is allowed to vamp it up on the verses, it's more than acceptable for Spears to embrace her inner Britishney and heighten the ferocity of her commands here. As Grantland's Molly Lambert points out, the use of the fake accent essentially allows Spears to assume the identity of a new character -- in this case, a no-nonsense headmistress who extols the virtue of relentless labor as a means to the purchase of many fancily named cars. Spears already explored a U.K. persona on the "clob" banger "Scream & Shout," and in the context of these lyrics, it makes even more sense. Bloody brilliant!

2. The Practicality Of It All. "Work Bitch," as its title suggests, does not abide by laziness, but also offers some solid cause-and-effect reasoning in its lyrics. Silver-spoon circumstances aside, most people have to work very, very hard in order to secure substantial funds for Maseratis, mansions and membership at Parisian parties. However, as Britney points out, a "hot body" also requires work -- a different, more physical form of work, but work nonetheless. You cannot argue with Spears' fundamental point here. This is the pop music equivalent of showing your work in math class: instead of just screaming "Work Bitch" at her followers, Spears is providing concretes examples of the importance of labor, further motivating listeners at gyms, offices and car dealerships worldwide.

3. The Big, Fat Bass. Listen to that drop at the 0:45-second mark -- the synth riff that sounded a bit tinny during the first chorus becomes infinitely more muscular, and as Spears groans in the background, the listener receives his or her first opportunity to let loose some awkward shoulder grooves. The bass cycles in and out throughout "Work Bitch," and when it flies into the forefront, the depth of that hook multiplies deliciously.

4. The Arrival Of 'Real' Britney. After teasing her fans with her militaristic "work" cries during the opening minute of the single, Spears tosses aside the British accent for the time being and kicks off the song's first proper verse with the aching couplet, "Bring it on, ring the alarm/Don't stop now, just be the champion." The way Spears releases her alter ego and allows the last syllable of each line to float skyward without resolve makes for one of the most compelling moments in the song.

5. The "Here It Co-o-o-omes" Line. How does Spears snap back into British mode? By warping that line in the first verse into a metallic candle being burned at both ends. That phrase is the sound of Spears' processed reality circling down the drain, and it's arresting.

6. The Gloriously Weird Second Verse. After the second chorus ends, Britney somehow morphs into Paul Revere and starts ringing her own alarm. "You can hear my sound/Tell somebody in your town/Spread the word/Spread the word!" she cries, as if the Internet no longer exists and the news of her pop dominance must be delivered via horseback. Then, she doubles down on the wacky concept, commanding, "Go call the police/go call the governor/I bring the treble/Don't mean to trouble ya." What musical trouble could Spears possibly be concocting that would compel listeners to phone their governors? The "treble" line is a callback to "Scream & Shout," but we're more curious about Spears' political demands at this point.

7. The Oddball Structure. About halfway through "Work Bitch," the listener realizes how daring the song is in composition. A spoken-word chorus based on the word "bitch"? Verses that mirror each other and contain multiple accents? These are not the marks of a straightforward radio offering. "The great thing about Britney Spears is that she makes dazzlingly weird songs and then tricks everyone into thinking it's mainstream," Idolator's Sam Lansky wrote on Twitter about "Work Bitch." Based on the structure alone, it's hard to disagree.

8. The Breath-Catching Bridge. Following the second verse, "Work Bitch's" beat drops out completely, and Spears appears without pretense to instruct her audience, "Hold your head high, fingers to the sky/They goon' try to try ya, But they can't deny ya." It's an epic (albeit a bit cliched) breakdown, but the thumping, anthemic bridge really deserves praise for being unpredictable. As a trio of beats crash down upon the wave of synths, Spears returns to the dance mania of "Femme Fatale," and best of all, the change-up doesn't feel forced. These 30 seconds are going to absolutely slay when delivered live.

9. The Final Onslaught. "Work" x 16. "Work it out" x 12. The synth riffs return, but they've been doused in gasoline and are eventually set aflame. This outro is breathless, pummeling electronic music. Resist it at your own peril.

10. The Individuality. "Work Bitch" smacks of "Blackout"-era Britney in production and lyrical content, and the accent and overall feel recalls "Scream & Shout," Spears' collaboration with "Work" producer Will.i.am.

But Spears' new single clearly has both eyes trained on the finer moments of the recent EDM boom, and not on the success of Spears' past radio smashes. "Work Bitch" takes risks that were not present on the (highly enjoyable) "Femme Fatale" singles -- and Spears has earned the right to take risks. Those fearing a single as safe as "Ooh La La" have been given a single with a singular, uncompromising vision. This is not paint-by-numbers pop. Go tell the police, the governor, the state congressman, the barber, the guy who works at your local Burger King -- go tell whoever you need that Britney is back.
