Jojo/(I only know him) In the Dark
Posted on at 7:55 PM.
Jojo shot a video earlier this year for "(I Only Know Him) in the Dark" but the project got shelved, because the timing wasn't right. Now she has released the song finally and is taking a new direction musically. Mixtape that she'll release on September 7th is called "Can't Take that away from Me" and it's released from tracks that aren't included on the next album that is yet to be released. The song sounds interesting, but quite appealing and does showcase a new Jojo indeed.

Katy Perry/Album Chart show Special
Posted on at 5:28 PM.
Katy Perry promoting her new album in UK with Album Chart Show Special. Katy performed handful of tracks and gave amazing performance of "Teenage Dream", with beautiful vocals from the beginning. "Teenage Dream" is amazing song and should eventually became a #1 hit everywhere soon. Katy might not be the most sharpest vocalist but she does work her butt off.
She also performed her new track "Peacock" that just screams to be a single. It's controvercial, catchy and something that stays in your head. She did great job with the performance and I look forward to seeing more.

Cheryl Cole/"Promise This" is the next single!
Posted on at 4:52 PM.
The lyrics to Cheryl Cole's new single reportedly relate to her battle with malaria. According to the Daily Star Sunday, the X Factor judge will release 'Promise This' as the first single from her new album. The lyrics are said to strangely relate to her fight with the disease, despite being written before her ordeal.A source said: "Cheryl's comeback song is called 'Promise This'. It was actually written months ago and although it's not directly talking about her illness there is a strange lyrical twist that ironically relates to her recent near-death experience. It is similar to the way 'Fight For This Love' related to her marriage drama. A release date hasn't been confirmed for the single but there's talk Cheryl could perform on the second [X Factor] live show after Joe McElderry.
"It's a huge comeback track and Cheryl absolutely loves it. There's a lot of pressure on her to follow up her first album with another multi-platinum seller. But everyone agrees she is back with her best material yet."

New Jive artist Matisse is given a little bit of help with new radio mix of her first single "Better than Her". Matisse's single is now featured by Akon and this version has been sent to radio stations across US. The new version does add something to the track and even if Akon's parts sound bit desperate and "glued in", the whole set works.

Rihanna's new single rumours are going absolutely mad. Supposed first single "Only Girl" has been confirmed by couple of sources already and UK's Capital FM listed it to be premiered on August 31st. Now US station Z100 has confirmed that the song is called "Cheers" and it's fun, happy party song. "Cheers" is rumoured to be only served as US single and "Only Girl" would be for UK and Europe. Rihanna also had the photoshoot sessions for the new album today.
The rumoured release of the new Rihanna single is in September but so far, any of these news are unconfirmed by the label.

Kylie Minogue performing on America's Talent. It's been awhile since Kylie has promoted her work in US television but she's not about to let the early success she recieved with her newest album die. "Get Outta my Way" is amazing song and very catchy but it's not her strongest live tracks to perform. Luckily she did pull off amazing performance and she looked beyond stunning. The styling, the makeup, the dancing and the performance were fantastic and this should work out well. "Get Outta my way" probably won't be a monster hit in US, but this should provide some help to it.

Robbie Williams/Shame (Feat. Gary Barlow)
Posted on at 9:54 PM.
Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow on their new video for "Shame", the first single from the new single collection from Robbie. The video was obviously done in very humoristic way to a theme of "Brokeback Mountain". Their chemistry works in the video and in the song and the chorus sounds great. Lyrics are great as well but the instrumentals lack of something. This video and song should became a hit in UK, just based on the interesting project but it's not exactly his best work in any way. But I look forward to the next project, Take That's next album with Robbie.

VipMedia Recommends/Katy Perry
Posted on 23.8.10 at 8:06 PM.
While Katy Perry's album is out, we decided to throw in our favourite tracks from the album that caught our ears from the first listen. There is handful of growers in it though that didn't fit in to this list but these are currently our favourites. If you dissagree, post your own opinions.Teenage Dream
"Teenage Dream" is much more radio-friendly and instant than the first single and provides amazing chorus that just fills you with good feelings. Perfect second single and sure chart topper. There is no more details I should go into, I just love the song and think it's perfect single for her.
California Gurls
The song was cool summer-tune and it was great single because it did what it was suppose to do but in the end, it wears out quite easily and at the time I heard it for the first time, I didn't think it was all that "current". Glad it worked in the end, theme in the end was perfect for the song.
E.T (Futuristic Lover)
From the very first seconds, this sounds like a hit. It provides a melody in both verses and in chorus that you feel familiar with after hearing them once. Sounds like a classic. Also, it's quite different from her other material, it's more electric but still provides her strong vocals. This is something that sticks out from the album and I think it would've been strong third or fourth single from this album.
Circle the Drain
Katy changes the tone for this song, to angry feminist-ish rocker attitude and delivers cool Pop/Rock track. This has been said to be channelling Alanis Morisette, but it's more Kelly Clarkson than Morisette. This one was released prior the album in itunes, but I wouldn't release this as a single though.
Peacock
Katy Perry completely surprises me with this track that is like a mixture of "If U Seek Amy", "Rude Boy" and Gwen Stefani's style but still not trying too hard to be different. The song's appeal is quite permanent. It first annoys the hell out of you but it grows in to you very quickly and becames something in between but very catchy. The lyrics are amazing, absolutely filthy but very effective! This should be sent to radios RIGHT AWAY.
Firework
Apparently the next single after the title track. The song might not be the first one I would release from the album next, but it has great moments and some raw vocals and emotions. It's alright track and good grower but it needs couple more spins to grow on me totally.

Nadine Coyle/New label revealed?
Posted on at 7:42 PM.
Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle's hunt for a record label is finally over. Sources reveal she has signed for... Tesco. It means her debut solo album will only be available from the supermarket, where it will fight for space with the fruit and veg. Britain's biggest grocer has been promising a string of bigname signings to their start-up record label.Whether it works for Nadine remains to be seen. The 25-year-old from Northern Ireland has been working in LA for two years now on her "dream" album. She had signed with Geffen Records, but the deal came unstuck over finances. So far she's worked with Robbie Williams' former songwriting partner Guy Chambers, Madonna's one-time producer William Orbit and singer songwriter Lucie Silvas and is close to finishing her record.
Sources say: "Tesco will sell her album exclusively to their customers and it won't be available anywhere else, and being able to work on the music that she wants was the main reason for going with Tesco. She's decided who she's wanted to work with from the start. She's in control of every single decision - from the writers, the producers and the collaborators - and wants to produce her dream album. She didn't want to be a puppet for a record company."
The new deal confirms reports that Nadine is at least a year away from returning to the band that made her famous. Girls Aloud still have a three-album deal with Fascination Records to fulfil, but sources say Nadine won't join them until she's given the solo project her best shot.
"She's planning a year of publicity, performing on her own and creating a brand for herself, She hasn't started to think about when she will return to the band - or even if she will."

- The Saturdays had #3 single with "Missing You" and now they scored their highest first week sales and highest album peak with "Headlines" at #3. "Headlines" sold bit under 23 000 copies this week and charted higher than their two previous records that both peaked at #9. Their single "Missing You" remains inside Top 10 with strong sales. Congrats to the girls for the chart success! Well earned!- Sophie-Ellis Bextor has reportedly been dropped from her label and her upcoming album has been cancelled due the poor sales of the singles. There will be a "Greatest Hits" compliation to be released this fall and it will include some new tracks that were supposed to be on the album. "Straight to the Heart" would've been her fourth album.
- Kylie Minogue will promote her next single "Get Outta My Way" also in US. Her performance is scheduled at America's Got Talent to August 25th. Her second international single "Get Outta My Way” will be released on September 27 in UK in physical format, digital single and as a picture disc. Purchase the physical bundle from here!

"Rose Coloured Glasses" was shot reportedly in 3D and it's expected to be out very soon, while two more videos are expected to be shot this week. She is currently in Los Angeles to shoot the video for "Forever and A Day" that will be her next UK/International single following "Commander". Her next US video "Grown Woman" that was released with "Rose Coloured Glasses" will be shot too over the weekend. This means, we'll get at least four singles and videos before the album release in the end of the year.Discuss.

Kaci Battaglia and Ludacris in new video for "Body Shots". The song, the video and the oufits are long cry from the perfection that was her previous video/song, "Crazy possessive". All of the things listed look kinda dated and cheap. "Body Shots" is a grower though and fun club track, but after "Crazy Possessive" there is just no comparison. Kaci looks beyond stunning though and the style fits to her so well. She is like Holly Valance of 2010. Fun, sexy, Pop and talented enough to be potential.

Kelly Rowland, who will be releasing two slightly diffirent albums this November is also releasing completely new single in UK. The plan is to release Dance record in Europe and more "urban" version of the tracklist to US. "Rose coloured Glasses" is the current single for her in US and apparently she is aiming some club-success with this new UK single, "Forever and A Day" that is set to follow her last single "Commander" that was Top 10 single in UK. "Forever and A Day" sounds like a mixture of "Commander" and "When love Takes Over" and it should be her next hit in UK. The song was just premiered in UK.

It has those controvercial cheeky lyrics and electric, catchy beats and it could really become a worldwide hit for her if her label pushes it out. "Firework", her other rumoured single is creating confusion since both of the tracks have been confirmed by a source or two. We vote for "Peacock".

Darin/Microphone
Posted on at 11:20 PM.
Darin and his fifth single, "Microphone" from the new album "LoveKiller". Despite releasing five singles prior the album, there has been no videos released. No videos done under this new label. "Microphone" might just be the smartest choice from the album, since it provides a new edge on the similar sound he is recycling on the album. He is keen on this 80's type of big echoed Pop/rock-instrumentals and the album is completely lacking a material to dance to. He has lost the R&B-Pop style and electronic edge he had and has made a turnaround. Hopefully this is just a phase for him, since no matter how "consistent" the album sounds, it sounds all the same.

The Saturdays/"Missing You" charts at #3

After almost week being #1 single in UK, The Saturdays drop down two places in the final placement of this week's single charts. The number one being Flo Rida and number two Eminem, some of you were right that they were too tough competition for the girls. Despite that, they only sold few thousand copies less than the number one and "Missing You" has the second highest first week sales for them, after "Just Can't get Enough" that was a charity single. The single sold over 57 000 copies this week and their mini album "Headlines" will be out on Monday.Too bad that the girls still are forced to get other chart placements but not the top spot. Both the Saturdays and Frankie's and Rochelle's previous group S Club 8 (S Club Juniors) have charted at #2 with some of their singles, never catching up the #1 spot.

VipMedia Recommends/The Saturdays
Posted on at 7:53 PM.
The Saturdays are about to release their mini-album "Headlines" on monday 16th of August and we are here to post our review of it. We must underline the fact that it's worth every penny and includes strong form of tracks that will no doubt attract more sales to them than "Wordshaker" did. It does include three songs from the second album, but it's all good. "Headlines" is shaping up to be their next best hit record.
Missing You
Their first single released from the album and it already is splitting up the opinions all around. It's not leaving the general public cold though, since they are close to be having their first #1 single with it. They sing half of the track through vocoder but make it work in the electric ballad that you can dance to. The consept just works for me completely and even the dance routine has grown on me. The chorus makes the whole set complete and makes you hum the song in your dreams. It's damn catchy song and one of their finest singles and to be honest, their best first single.
Ego
Their second single off "Wordshaker" was good enough to be included for this EP and good enough to be their second best selling single. The song is still as good as it was, but I still think the chorus is lacking something that verses have. They should've added the Radio Edit to this EP instead of the album version.
Higher
This is officially the second single and it became an early fanfavourite from the album, even before "Missing You" was out. It's another autotuned hit to be happening and it has strong melodic synth with catchy chorus in similar way with "Up". This one is expected to be their next huge hit.
Forever Is Over
This was the first single from the previous album and it must be the lowest ranked track from this EP. It took quite long time to grow and it took short time to get bored to. It's not bad song, but it doesn't have enough POP and catchyness to keep up the intrest like their other songs usually do. The chorus is beautiful but it's just too dark for them.
Died In Your Eyes
This is the Kristinia DeBarge-cover and it shaped up being better than I expected. This became instantly a personal track for me by it's lyrics. Despite being a cover, it sounds like orginal track by them and I could even see this being their christmas single. Even if I'd release "Puppet" first. This even sounds like a throwback to the sound of All Saints in someway. Not bad.
Karma
The song kicks in quite instantly and it's fun electro-pop event for them. It's fun album track, but not worth to be released as a single despite being quite catchy one.
Puppet
This was the most anticipated track for me from the whole set. It features bassy, sassy verses that transform the girls into Pussycat Dolls-esque kittens. It's still tasty, classy but sounds very diffirent from their previous songs. The chorus is one of the catchiest I've heard in a long time. This just MAKES you dance and stays in your head for weeks. If this won't became a single, I'm gonna beat someone. "Puppet" sounds like a club-hit too, which isn't something The Saturdays have reached before. New sound, new image and sexy video and they have hit in their hands. The first leaked version sounded tasty but HQ version sounds overwhealmingly great!
One Shot (Starsmith Mix)
"One Shot" was planned to be single from "Wordshaker" and the whole plot with having this little modified remix to be added to this EP proves it. Starsmith Mix doesn't change the structure of the song, it just adds new electro elements to it. It's not bad and it was never a bad song. This mix wraps up a fantastic mini-album and it's totally worth of purchasing. They are the type of a girlgroup who have never released a bad album. "Wordshaker" might've been a small flop, but it was never bad record. Hopefully they'll get lots of success with this one.

The Saturdays and their newly leaked "One Shot" Starsmith Remix that is featured on "Headlines" mini album. Obviously this was planned as a single in similar way than "Work" was released. With a somewhat similar radio edit that adds some element to the song. "One Shot" remix is quite pointless though. It does sound fuller though but also it reminds me of some fanmade piece that was just randomly added to youtube as "Radio edit" but it's official. "Headlines" is amazing mini record though, it has HUGE songs and hopefully they'll catch great success with it.

Lady Gaga/Two albums next year?
Posted on 12.8.10 at 3:26 PM.
Lady Gaga is reportedly planning to release, not one but TWO albums next year. These album would follow-up to "The Fame" and "The Fame Monster". Would two albums be too much?“I felt like it was a revolution, like a gunshot went off, like it set us all into rotation,” Gaga said. “It was so exciting when it happened because it, for me, was a moment that indicated that it could happen in every state now…I was so happy and I went into the studio and kept writing [new music].”
She continued on to talk about how the new music would affect her forthcoming third album, that she has said in past interviews was already complete. “I know I told everybody my album was done, which is it kinda is done, but I can’t stop writing music. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might have to put out two records.”

Taio Cruz/Dynamite (Ft. Jennifer Lopez)
Posted on at 1:47 AM.
New Taio Cruz remix of "Dynamite", featuring finally Jennifer Lopez. The remix itself isn't much diffirent from the orginal track, it just has her vocals glued on the track. Much like the case was with "Break your Heart" remix that featured Ludacris. Jennifer's vocals sound quite autotuned from the start but her parts aren't all that bad. But such a shame they didn't rework the song in anyway, like they could've. Doubt this will make much more sales for the single if this gets released. "Dynamite" is already a hit on it's own rights.

Kelly Rowland/New 3D video coming up!
Posted on 11.8.10 at 11:52 PM.
Kelly Rowland is ready to unleash her next music video soon. Kelly has revealed that the second video from her upcoming album, "Rose Coloured Glasses" was shot in 3D. She didn't go further explaining more about the consept but she said that it's set to be premiered soon. It's still unknown, whether she'll shoot a video for her Urban US single "Grown Woman" that is the current single in the country. "Rose Coloured Glasses" will be served as the next international single, following "Commander".I still feel "Commander" could've been a HUGE hit with more promotion worldwide.

Monrose/This is Me (Video)

(Watch the video from the site)
Monrose and the early premiere of their new video for "This is Me". The video looks quite diffirent from their earlier videos but in good way. There isn't a huge storyline in the video but the editing makes the video look interesting and the girls look absolutely gorgeous. They've split the screen, they switch it up, show smaller screens of the girls, change from Black and white to color and so on and it works. "This is Me" will probably be a next hit for them in Germany, since it's catchy and quality pop with great melody. Not bad at all. From the preview's, I thought it would be a borefest but it ended up being well edited clip of three gorgeous girls.

Girlicious/"2 In the Morning" (Full song)
Posted on at 1:49 AM.
New Girlicious track "2 In the Morning" has been released to fans. It's amazing club song that features a sample of ATC's "Around the World (La la la)", which is quite brilliant. I could picture this being their first worldwide hit actually. They should release this as their first single to Europe and follow it with "Maniac" and they'd be HUGE. I like!

Katy Perry/Teenage Dream (Live)
Posted on at 12:20 AM.
Katy Perry performing "Teenage Dream" at Teen Choice Awards 2010. Katy has done amazing job performing "California Gurls" live, but this new single is bit harder vocally and it wasn't all that perfect. It wasn't all that bad either, it just wasn't her sharpest vocals. The whole performance itself was cool, with loads of extras and some dance routine too. Katy also hosted the awards and did great job with it. This year, the show wasn't that interesting though for some reason and there wasn't many performers anyway.

Katy Perry and her cute new video for "Teenage Dream". The song itself is amazing pop-perfection and sounds like a classic hit already and the video holds the story well. It's not complicated, filled with storyline but it keeps the structure well, doing what it's suppose to do. Katy and her "man" look very cute and the "mini film" has great scenes included. It's like a music-video from some random teenage movie and it works.
Her next video, "Firework" will be released sometime on October.

The Saturdays/Missing You (Live)
Posted on at 4:26 PM.
The Saturdays performing on "This Morning", doing more promotion to their single "Missing You" that is currently at #1 midweeks, leaving Flo Rida behind with just few thousand copies. The girls have done amazing amount of promo for this one, so it would be just awsome if they finally had their number one single. They've had two #2 singles, "Forever is Over" and "Just Can't get Enough" and Flo Rida has kept them off the number one spot once earlier. So hopefully they'll beat that now. Make sure you get the single if you haven't already!

Ke$ha/Working on second album!
Posted on at 10:07 PM.
Ke$ha only released debut album Animal this year, but she’s already planning her second record. “I’m always writing and kind of thinking of the next step,” said the Your Love Is My Drug star. “I’m still executing this record properly on stage, but the next record is definitely on my mind, and potentially in the works soon. I write all my own music, so [the new album is] going to be honest,” Ke$ha added to MTV.“And I definitely am not just laying around Los Angeles getting drunk with my friends anymore, so it’ll definitely be a little different subject matter, but it will still be fun and honest. I’m not done being crazy. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘mature’, because that sounds boring, that sounds like a jazz record, and that’s not going to happen. You’ll hear about different things on it. I think there’s a great pop song in anything.”
Ke$ha's latest single, "Take it Off" has climbed to Top 20 of US Itunes, to just outside Top 15. She also made a jump from #92 to respectable #52 at last week's Billboard charts.

The Saturdays/Headlines (Comercial)
Posted on at 4:56 PM.
The Saturdays that are riding high on UK's itunes currently, shot earlier an advert for their upcoming mini album "Headlines". The set was identical to how the cover looks like and it features the girls "performing" the last three singles that are all included on the album. It was cool and will catch some attention for sure. I'm very happy "Missing You" is doing so well. Could it rise up to #1 on itunes? Check out behind the scenes video from the girls, singing TLC's "No scrubs" and being on the set of their new document series.

Lady Gaga is dominating Australia apparently. She hasn't officially left the ARIA singles chart Top 50 since July 2008, when "Just Dance" debuted on the charts. This week, "Alejandro" drops down from the chart for good, while "Dance in the Dark" makes it's debut. Despite few sources denying the single's excistent, it's been released to radios and charts only with digital sales. It started peaking higher and higher on itunes, since it started getting airplay in the country. "Dance in the Dark" charts at #43 this week. No wonder, the song is amazing and it would deserve a full-on release worldwide.Discuss.

Alesha Dixon and her comeback video for "Drummer Boy", the first single from upcoming album. The video was directed by Ray Kay and it was visual, colourful and eye-catching. Too bad the single itself is sort of too weak to be released as a first single and it will either be a huge hit or underperform. She is taking bit of a risk with this but the song has it's moments. It's very diffirent from everything else that is out now too, which could work. The single will be released officially on 5th of September.

The Saturdays/Higher (Full 2nd Single)
Posted on at 5:26 PM.
The Saturdays "Headlines" leaked last night as a web-rip, so here is "Higher" as a full version. This is the official second single from the album and it sounds like a sure hit for them, another safe Top 10 like "Ego" and "Up" were. Their vocals sound great, slightly autotuned though but it's nice to hear Una again featured permanently on a track. The song IS catchy, amazing but this isn't the best one we've heard yet. The Mini album, that will be out on August 16th includes another our favourite to became a single later on, "Puppet". It's edgier and has one of the catchiest chorus's I've heard in long time. Listen to it from here! Fierce!

Posted on at 5:21 PM.
Pink announced earlier on twitter that she has shot three exclusive videos for her tour and just for her fans, because "she loves the fans so much and appreciate all your support". The first one from the bunch is this, new version of "Please Don't Leave Me" which is cute, very fitting to her circus-theme. Very cute idea to shoot a video just for the fans. Her latest US single "Glitter in the air" was a Top 20 single for her and it's set to be the final single. Good idea to extend the "Funhouse" with these videos. The album has sold well over 6 million copies to date worldwide.

"Dynamite" as a song is a hit after just one listen and no wonder. The song was by Cruz himself with Max Martin and produced by Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco, which means it's certified hit material. Hopefully the remix with Jennifer Lopez is out soon!

They sounded really current and we just wanted to release them now. We’re proud of all the tracks on Headlines! – I think Missing You is a total summer anthem, while our next single Higher is a classic Saturdays pop tune, along the lines of Up and Ego.
