Maroon 5′s “Give A Little More” video dropped today. It’s the second single off of their newest album, Hands All Over, and the follow up to “Misery.” The song is another strong effort from the group.

Music Video: Enrique Iglesias feat. Nicole Scherzinger – “Heartbeat”
A brand new video showed up from Enrique today. It’s for a track off of his new album called “Heartbeat” and it features Nicole Scherzinger of Pussycat Dolls fame. On first listen, we’re loving the track. It definitely has a different sound than his last mega-hit “I Like It,” which isn’t a bad thing. It’s [...]
Music Video: Bruno Mars – “Just The Way You Are”
If you’re just hearing about Bruno Mars now, clearly you don’t regularly read the MetroLyrics blog ;) A couple of months ago, we posted about Bruno as an up and coming name to watch. Trust us, we don’t regret it. The guy’s been racking up radio plays and buzz since then. Today, he launched a [...]
Music Video: Ne-Yo – “One In A Million”
Ne-Yo has released a video for his track “One In A Million.” And yep, you guess it, he does a lot of dancing in it. But for a guy that’s known as well for his fancy footwork as his music, that has to be expected. All in all, another solid track and video for Ne-Yo. [...]

New Tracks: Katy Perry – “Firework” & “Peacock”
As the seemingly endless build up to Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream album release on August 24th continues (I can’t wait to stop talking about her!), two new tracks have leaked to the net. The reported third single from the album, “Firework,” is the third track from the album that will no doubt be a radio [...]
Music Video: Katy Perry – “Teenage Dream”
The music video for Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” has finally arrived. Premiering earlier today, the long awaited clip for the pop star’s second heat seeking single isn’t a let down. Directed by Yoann Lemoine and shot in Santa Barbara, the video screams West Coast. And even though the name might not suggest it, I’d argue [...]
Music Video: Alphabeat – “Heat Wave”
Danish pop group Alphabeat have released a video for their newest single “Heat Wave,” a track off of the band’s 2009 release ‘The Beat Is…‘ If you’re unaware of Alphabeat, get ready for some seriously poppy pop. No, like REALLY poppy pop. Even though it’s a bit too much for me, I thought some of [...]
Music Video: Eminem ft. Rihanna – “Love The Way You Lie”
As you may or may not be aware, Megan Fox is a big movie star. Naturally then, having her star in your music video sounds like a great idea, right? Wait, uh oh, where did that go wrong? I’m gonna come out and say it right off the bat: I hate this music video. I’m [...]
Music Video: Sean Kingston ft. Nicki Minaj – “Letting Go (Dutty Love)”
Saw this video hit the net the other day. Apparently it’s the lead single off of Sean Kingston’s next, soon-to-be-titled, upcoming album. Personally, I think we’ve all had enough of this style of auto-tuned trash, but the fact that the INCREDIBLY HOT Nicki Minaj makes an appearance definitely helps the cause. It seems everything that [...]
Brand New Track: Katy Perry – “Not Like The Movies”
Fresh on the heels of debuting the title track “Teenage Dream” from her upcoming album, Katy Perry has dropped another pop gem on the masses. In a change of pace, she’s gone in the opposite direction of her first two tracks. The song, “Not Like The Movies,” is a beautiful piano ballad, that really shows [...]

Up & Comer: Olly Murs
Originally a contestant and eventual runner up on the UK hit show The X Factor, Olly Murs is stepping out of the reality TV show shadow to what looks like a very promising career in music. Born and raised in Essex, England, the British crooner has been on a fast track to stardom since the [...]
Music Video: Kaskade feat. Martina of Dragonette – “Fire In Your New Shoes”
A few months back, American DJ/Producer Kaskade teamed up with Martina of Dragonette to create the dance gem “Fire In Your New Shoes.” This morning, I stumbled onto the video that was released to accompany the track. Using some pretty tricky camera and editing work, they’ve put together some physics defying effects. Check it out [...]
Hot New Single: Katy Perry – “Teenage Dream”
The internet is absolutely abuzz today with the premiere of Katy Perry’s brand new single, “Teenage Dream.” Naturally, it’s a massive pop anthem. Though it’s not quite as danceable as “California Gurls,” if it doesn’t hit #1 on the Hot 100, I’ll be absolutely shocked. With a little bit more rock flair, Katy’s verses build [...]
Video Release: Christina Aguilera – “You Lost Me”
If you aren’t aware, Christina’s latest album, Bionic, has been a pretty big sales disappointment to date. Yet leading up to yesterday, the video for her “You Lost Me” single was getting some pretty good hype. The video popped up online yesterday, and frankly, I’m not sure this is the saving grace she needed. It’s [...]
New Single: Bruno Mars – “Just The Way You Are”
If you tell me that you’ve never heard Bruno Mars before, you’re very likey wrong. Bruno’s already been featured on two certified summer smash hits, B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire.” His producing and songwriting chops aren’t too shabby either — Bruno’s got co-writing credits for helping pen K’Naan’s worldwide smash “Wavin’ Flag” [...]
Upcoming Single: Robyn – “Hang With Me”
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 [...]
Video Review: Taio Cruz – “Dynamite”
Taio Cruz released a video for his hit, “Dynamite,” today. Let’s watch it together, shall we? Oh look, a bunch of models hanging out in a junkyard. Grinding stuff. With skimpy outfits on. Riiiiight. I bet I can guess who the mysterious guy on the bike is. All of the models seem to really love [...]
