Last night, Kanye dropped a fresh remix of his recent single “Power” on his blog and Twitter account–which has quickly become my favorite thing on Twitter by far. Make no mistake, this remix is REALLY remixed. Not only does he let Jay and Swizz do their thing on top of a hacked up version of [...]

Kanye West premiered a new song off of his upcoming album entitled “See Me Now.” The track features both Beyonce and Charlie Wilson, and is growing on me more and more with every listen. The raps are vintage Kanye, too. My personal fave: “I admit, my first watch was a Fossil. Now I’m in the [...]

Last night, the video for Kanye’s newest single, “Power,” debuted on MTV. In typical Kanye fashion, it’s a very artistic piece, with an obvious ode to Michaelangelo’s  Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings. At only 1 minute and 42 seconds long, it runs only a portion of the song. But as Kanye himself  exclaimed via Twitter, “It’s [...]

Janelle Monae is one of the brightest lights in music today. In a music industry where pop stars with, at best, mediocre abilities are manufactured and molded in the name of a quick buck, Janelle Monae’s talent stands above and beyond. Have a quick browse through any video of a live performance for instant justification. [...]

Now, I know that this blog has had a number of Katy Perry posts recently, but this one simply couldn’t go unpublished. Rolling Stone has posted some photos online from a recent shoot with Katy Perry, and as you may have suspected, they feature one very scantily clad pop star. Oh, the humanity! Before you [...]

There’s an eye popping new video online from eccentric dance duo Chromeo. The track iss called “Don’t Turn The Lights On.” Check it out below. And keep in mind that I really wasn’t kidding about that “eye popping” bit, trust me. Chromeo – “Don’t Turn The Lights On” video 0

Since the now infamous Taylor Swift incident, Kanye West has been laying pretty low. Up until a couple of months ago, he’d been almost completely silent for 9 months, taking some time to lick his wounds from the fallout. But now, he’s back in a big way, which for those of us who enjoy Kanye [...]

Last week, I posted Robyn’s newest single, “Hang With Me,” from her upcoming Body Talk Pt 2 album, and she’s now released a video for the track. The clip takes more of a D.I.Y. approach to video shooting, and chronicles the road life of the platinum blonde pop star. Directed by Max Vitali, the video [...]

So, last month I gave you my review of Robyn’s album, Body Talk Pt. 1. It’s truly is an excellent pop album. If you didn’t take my wonderful advice then, do it now and pick it up already. As Robyn promised, she plans to release 2 more albums this year alone. The second of the [...]

I missed this one last week, but it deserves some attention. In an act of certain genius, the band combined three things that absolutely everyone in the entire world likes into one video: Music Dogs A Swimming Pool How could anyone possibly not approve of this video? You can’t, it’s impossible. Genius move, guys. Check [...]

After briefly looking at the Billboard Top 100 list, I’ve come to a conclusion: we need better pop music in our lives. Lately, I’ve come across a number of  phenomenally talented female artists, who I hope might be the answer to this predicament. It’s nothing against the current ladies of pop, but, honesty, I’m so [...]

Yahoo’s OMG has Rhianna’s new haircut on their “What Were They Thinking?” slideshow, and they call it “disastrous.” The fashion-forward singer is always pushing the envelope, but we think this look is actually pretty tame– it even makes her look younger somehow. What do you think? Fashion do or don’t? What do you think of [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve probably been wondering what happened to Louisville’s VHS OR BETA. It seems like they’ve been featuring the same songs on their MySpace page forever, and MTV.com only has one music video available to watch from them. (The delightful “Can’t Believe A Single Word,” featured below.) Well, the buzz on their [...]

While watching a re-run of VH1′s “100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs” today, Queen Latifah’s “Ladies First” really stood out to me. Her current CoverGirl look (see above) is a pretty dramatic shift from where she was when All Hail The Queen came out in 1988. She’ll be hosting the People’s Choice Awards again in January, [...]
