Queensberry -Too Young
(Out Now!)

Fresh new Popstars-group of girls from Germany kick of the second album-era with catchy "Too Young" that is throwback to 80's with modern twist and unforgettable chorus spicied up with heartbreaking lyrics that we all can relate to. The vocals are strong and riskey and they finally do something other than safe-play boring Pop that they experienced on their first album that only had one double A-Side single released from it. "Too Young" has very good video too, shot in Miami, making the girls fat chance to breakthrough finally elsewhere too! This song has opened a way for them to be more than "Oh-yes-that's-another-uninteresting-floppy-girlband" and be bigger than the unpleasant Popstars-stamp that takes a long time to get rid off. It's perfect song for the summer, for end of the summer and to be included on your ipod 'til you've played it hundred-something times and move on to something else. Good job girls, to record the first song that actually has it all, not just moments of "Meh" with few potential beats.

9/10


Cascada -Evacuate The Dancefloor
(UK Release: 29.6)

Cascada's sound has always been rather expected with the same song structure and sound on every single and it has actually always worked pretty well. This time RedOne jumped on the bandwagon to give a little twist to their brand new single and maybe attracting more fans to their european fanbase. "Evacuate the Dancefloor" is surprisingly good, although the Lady Gaga-elements are there guite visibly, yet not going too far from their club-friendly sound. The title of the song maybe let's you actually wait for something more, but it's still the first single from the group to actually make any diffirence. Pleasent surprise and fun track!

8/10


Jeanette - Material Boy (Don't Look Back)
(Out Now!)

While the album version of the song has some elements left from Monrose (Hot Summer), who recorded the demo version of this first, the single/video version has totally diffirent direction for the song. They've lost the Monrose-reject sound and went for the electro-sound the rest of the album contains. Both versions are fantastic, like two totally diffirent songs! Jeanette's new album "Undress to the Beat" is fantastic album, despite it being flopping in it's home-country Germany, but it turned me into a fan, so it's definately worth of checking out and so is this song. The album, just having hits after hits didn't really make this song to be expected to be released as the second single right away but this is fantastic song! Expect to hear more about this singing beauty and remember to collect her new album, or downloading it from itunes!

8½/10


Anna Abreu -Come Undone
(Released Digitally)

Finnish Pop-princess Anna has just released her 4th single titled "Come Undone" that serves us mid-tempo number that has a lot of potential. Anna doesn't have the typical foreign bad accent, her vocals are strong and the instrumentals of the track are big enough to give a good base to this single. "Come Undone" is like part 2 for her second single "Silent Despair", that was fragile, beautiful ballad. Where "Come Undone" doesn't come close to being her best single, it's enough to get people outside finland to be excited about her.

7/10


Pussycat Dolls -Hush Hush; Hush Hush
(Released Digitally)

When you have a title of the song that causes so much discussion, you have some kind of hit in your hands. While the new version has stupid stupid ; stupid stupid name, it does scream to be some sort of hit (not as much though as their forgotten single Bottle Pop). "Hush Hush" was great song as the ballad-ish album version, but now we have new Tour Version that includes lines from "I Will Survive", Single Version with same upbeat without those lines and Dave Aude's own Radio Edit of it that works as a alternative-not-too-diffirent-version for the song (Dave also produced the Single and Tour Versions). The only problem is that the label keeps on messing up the potential with the late releases, pushing back releases and it seems as if they have all the potential hits but they have no idea what to do with them. Anyway, the song will hopefully meet it's potential and become a hit. Fingers crossed! And you're allowed to uncross your fingers just to type the title of the song to itunes and download it, to support the girls!
