NEW VIDEO ALERT! The Saturdays - All Fired Up

The Saturdays very much came to rise in fruition after the Girls Aloud cultivation, and have adopted a similar loyal following that impresses teenage girls, and FHM audiences alike. Their latest video 'All Fired Up' has just gone viral and shows the girls taking another step in their own take of modern dance/pop. It is extremely cheesy and of the moment but definitely has the marksmanship of a proficient popular production team as the repeat value is very high. I like it, for now.

Hip Hop Fans Relish At New Jay-Z + Kanye West Joint Album Watch The Throne

For Hip Hop to work it needs to feel classic whilst reaching new heights. Lyrics should be smart and tightly interwoven between drums of varying cultures; expressionism at it's fullest. It connects with the mind and should be felt with the heart, liberating individuals of all class, background and orientation, furthermore unifying audiences. 'Watch The Throne' does just that much more succinctly.

An album littered with future anthems to empower such as 'Who Gon Stop Me', 'Illest Motherf*cker Alive' and 'H.A.M.'. 'Gotta Have It' echoes impressions of early Wu Tang, whereas 'Why I Love You' featuring Mr Hudson is easily clear standout single material. This right here is a very cool byproduct of slick collaborations and high end production. Beyonce even features. It definitely gets the Jsky seal of approval.

Camaraderie Is Dead

Like screaming on mute,
Drowning ignored,
Illegible writing, foreign tongues,
An irritation; an itch unquelled,
Blurred vision,
Tired answers,
Lies.

Hollow shells on legs,
Emotionless dregs,
Unrelatable to neighbours,
Camaraderie is dead.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Nicole Scherzinger - Wet

The new video 'Wet' sees Nicole Scherzinger looking very much like a Pussycat Doll again. Whilst her solo material from her album 'Killer Love' is more Dance/Pop than her R&B influenced Pussycat roots, the sexy dance towards the end of the video is sure to please members of both audiences (although God knows what is going on with her breasts during that section, they look bullet-proof!). The song in general is very much synonymous with the rest of what's on the radio these days, but is sure enough to get a dance out of a sixteen year old girl or someone on a night out in Canal Street. The question is, "Would I dance to this on a night out?". Probably.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Katy B - Witches Brew

I never thought Katy B would release this track. It's not that I didn't like it, it just never stood out to me as a single as much as her previous chart entries. Having said that though this does make for an interesting radio song. The video is mediocre at best, but far from terrible. For those unfamiliar with the song however this may prove to be a grower. The hook is nice, as with all Katy B songs. I'm not sure how this will chart though.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Emeli Sandé - Heaven

My heart has been captured by the true beauty of this song for the past few weeks, filling my life like a soundtrack. A by-product of soul, house, art and drums with an essence of old school hip-hop and breakbeat. The result is something I accredit a few tracks as being; textbook. The video could have been a disappointment, but it wasn't. It keeps with the style and focuses on the instrumentation of the record. Definitely a modern classic in the making.
