Hear New Christina Aguilera “Not Myself Tonight”
Last week, Christina Aguilera released the cover art for her latest single and I will readily admit that I was feeling a little snarky because, as a waiter, I hate substitutions. Xtina clearly ordered her single “extra cover art and hold the music.” Thankfully, that dark time is behind us.
Xtina’s just dropped the single for “Not Myself Tonight” I’m definitely excited to hear more. The song’s electo-dance production is definitely right up my ally and further confirms my theory that dance will be the new crossover genre, supplanting hip-hop which is now thoroughly entrenched in the mainstream. Clearly when the singer says she’s not herself tonight, it’s because she’s talking about making out with girls and dropping the F-woid. (That, my friends, was a subtle warning that some may consider this song, NSFW, unless you work at a strip club which features faux acts of lesbian bondage and is frequented by republicans.)
Aguilera has also released the cover art for her new album, Bionic, which is to be released June 8.
For now, you can listen to “Not Myself Tonight” after the jump. As always, comment, comment comment! Make your voice heard!

Listen: Timbaland Featuring Brandy “Whatever You Like”
about 11 months ago - 1 comment
Brandy is rappin, y’all! I remember a couple years ago on one of those VH1 reality shows, Brandy was yammering on about recording a rap album. I never thought she would actually get it all together. And yet here she is with a single produced by one of the best in the game, Timbaland. Like it or not she’s making us listen.
[video] Beyoncé – “Why Don’t You Love Me”
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Pop mega-diva and world ruler, Beyoncé Knowles, has released the gajillionth single from her I Am… Sasha Fierce double album bonanza. This time the singer busts out her “acting” chops and shows us her take on traditional iconic American feminine domesticity. That was verbose, but that’s what it is. Think 50, 60, 70′s housewife and you’ve got the lion share of what Beyoncé’s trying to evoke here. As always, I was deeply offended by Beyoncé’s acting, but as the clip went on I was entertained. The singer is not furthering the medium in any way, but she’s definitely keeping it interesting.

Christina Aguilera has definitely borrowed many of her video marketing tips from Lady Gaga, that other blond pop-star with the mega-huge video. Tonight, Aguilera debuted her Hype Williams directed “Not Myself Tonight” on Vevo. She definitely brings the sexy in this clip, suggesting a multitude of acts and positions which are NSFW unless you work

Aw shit! Sleigh Bells got a new single! “Tell Em” is the first snack off the NYC duo’s debut LP, the mouth-wateringly named Treats due May 11th on N.E.E.T. Recordings. Beware this music is guaranteed to make you jump. To see photos of the band in person, take a look at my Sleigh Bells photo gallery from their recent Coachella set.

Watch Usher Video “Lil Freak” Featuring Nicki Minaj
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
Ladies and gentlemen, Usher is finally in the building. After his creatively questionable mea culpa “Guilty” hit the streets a couple weeks ago, I was worried that Usher would no longer be a relevant force in pop music. Thankfully his newest video for “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj shows us the R&B crooner still has a pulse. The song features a nice beat with a sample from one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs, “Golden Lady” “Living For The City.” (Thanks for the correction, Mia.) Continuing his legacy of celebrity exhibitionism, this time Usher reveals his love of threesomes. Lil Wayne protege Niki Minaj also brings the fire with her freaky bisexual flow. I guess they don’t call her Nikki Minaj for ‘nothin. Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond drops next week.
Watch: Trina, “Million Dollar Girl” featuring Keri Hilson, Diddy

Da Baddest Bitch, Trina, dropped a new video recently with guest appearances from Diddy and Keri Hilson. The video features Trina grinding against rented sports cars that match her outfit, seated in nondescript ambiguous corporate environments and ‘chillin in private jets she does not own. It’s amazing that someone who supposedly has so much money still manages to look like a stripper.

Pop princess Christina Aguilera has just released the cover art for her new single “Not Myself Tonight” which features the historically scantily clad singer scantily clad. I searched the Internets high and low for a single that we might all listen to as we ponder the complexities of this cover art, but alas, my quest was unsuccessful.

The long-awaited clip for Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” has finally landed on the Internets. Before I say anything else I want to be clear: You need to see this video. It is creative , artistic and has more chutzpah than anything else going in popular music right now. “Telephone” is uniquely Gaga with plenty of tongue
Usher Airs Out Dirty Laundry With “Guilty” Featuring T.I.

Usher’s 2004 behemoth Confessions was one of my favorite pop albums of the previous decade. If “Guilty” is any indication, it looks like the oft-delayed Raymond vs. Raymond, due March 26, will be yet another album to avoid.
