Unapologetic same Metascore as Foxes "Glorious"?

Leona has signed to island records.
Thanks lawD. The only reason she did the Christmas album (good as it turned out) was to fulfill her five-album deal with Syco.
I'm so glad she'll be with a studio where she won't have to compete for money and attention with One Direction and the gaggle of young upstarts shat out by X-Factor every year who flop laterally for a few months until being unceremoniously dropped.

Mmm... Moving to Island didn't do much for Janet Jackson.

She also has new management.
aka Adele's erstwhile team.
Simon's not happy, but with the mismanagement of her past few eras (i.e. Syco's tendency to jettison an entire era if the first single isn't a massive hit), who can blame her for bailing?

LOL - I don't think anybody believes that Leona's Christmas album was going to be a "launch pad for bigger things." Not with the way things ran cold as soon as the initial promo hit.
Simon knows damn well he had no plans for Leona other the sticking to the status quo. Good for her getting out of there.

Overall, I'm not terribly optimistic. Her time came and went, and she's terrible at maintaining any sort of presence in the public consciousness.
I can only hope that her future level of promo will be commensurate with how good I know her next album will be. Glassheart is still a unforgivable tragedy of epic proportions.

God damn Problem.
Im taking it all off but its cause of the goddamn heat. Jesus Christ in a G-String please cool this down sooner.
Holy shit this song was in a commercial for something shitty and I can't for the life of me remember what it is, all I know is part of the chorus is burned into my brain forever. They cut the problem bit out so all you got was "THAT GIRL IS A--YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME".
nnnn
I hope you weren't about to steal your best friend's husband
Somehow I managed to skip that one, I'm going to give it a listen.
I feel like this song alone nearly managed to outdo Sleigh Bells at their own territory, at least when it comes to their third album.

Not sure if anyone here checks for them but Die Antwoord released their 3rd album "Donker Mag" today to a mass reaction so far of "ok girl".
Includes a few bops such as "Cookie Thumper!", "Pitbull Terrier" and "HAPPY GO SUCKY FUCKY"*.

Only three years late good job
Time for some music news!
GRL have released their new single on iTunes (which you might have heard before since it leaked a couple of weeks ago). It's called Ugly Heart, and it was co-written by Ester Dean and Dr. Luke. Since the girls are Dr. Luke'sconcubines proteges, one shouldn't be surprised he also produced the thing.
GRL - Ugly Heart
Sounds a bit like Ke$ha's Last Goodbye, don't you think?
Next we have Ameriie's new single, in the form of a lyric video.
Ameriie - What I Want
Personally, I expected a lot more since she's been hyping her project Cymatika since forever. I'm not saying it's not good, but it's nothing spectacular, either.
And I've saved the best for the last.
There's no preview yet, but the song will be out in a couple of days.
Jesus, take the wheel. And the mic from Psy's hands, while you're at it.

There's this long Lana interview with Fader Magazine and it is pretty damn good. One of her best yet:

This is unusual. At the start it sound like it would make a good World Cup song, then it goes kind of Disney High School Musical.

Awful. How to absolutely butcher a sample

The new Boyz II Men song "Diamond Eyes" is unexpectedly great. Giving me '80s fantasy movie ending credits teas
Wasn't unexpected for me. They have great voices and are really talented.
She does look good. But I won't trust her ass until the song it's up on iTunes and the video on VEVO.

This is lovely, thanks for posting. It's also a reminder for me to check out the rest of his stuff, since Andorra is the only album of his I've listened to
I'm listening to this right now, she really sounds good on this. It's also a nice track
Hahahah, ikr? Speaking of Sant
I'm enjoying the heck out of these three songs. Bless you, good sis <3 <3
That's the part that confuses me the most. Like, when you see those girls, you'd expect Girlicious 2.0 or even Paradiso Girls, meaning something trashy, slutty even. But when they start singing, their tunes sound like something tailor-made for Fifth Harmony. Although I kind of enjoyed Ugly Heart and Show Me What You Got, not gonna lie, I still don't know who are these girls marketed to, who's their target audience? I just don't see teenage girls eating their music up, tbh.
Which leads me to the next question: what the hell is wrong with Dr. Luke? First he signs Becky G to his label, then Bonnie McKee and now GRL... it's like he's building a flop harem, for fucks sake.

Just under two hours from now.
Say Lou Lou's new single, Everything We Touch, is out on iTunes for anyone interested in the Swedish-Australian twin dream pop goddesses. Album in November, only five months to go.
Hopefully Taylord and Adele will start cranking the hype machine soon; I need a bombastic autumn. And if Madonna isn't the iTunes exclusive, Unapologetic Bitch had better be out by the end of the month assuming it's the first single.
Washed Out has a new video out, Weightless. Like all of his stuff, it's relaxing, beautiful, ethereal. And the video is no different. Choose the HD option on Youtube and enjoy.
Washed Out - Weightless
Here are a few gifs from the video:
For those who aren't familiar with his music, here's a few of his best tunes, IMHO.
Washed Out - Feel It All Around
Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed
Washed Out - All I Know
Washed Out - Belong
Washed Out - New Theory
Whenever I feel distressed, I turn to his music to calm me down, it usually does the trick.
Btw, for those impatient, the song starts at 1:45.
