Teddybears STHLM - No More Michael Jackson

We're a bit behind on this. The Electrorockers Teddybears STHLM premiered their new single "No More Michael Jackson" a year after The King of Pop's death. It's a nice tribute and goes balls out. Such bombastic beat.

Teddybears consist of Patrik Arve, Joakim Åhlund and Klas Åhlund. Maybe you ain't familiar with these names, but Klas has produced some pretty impressive hits for artists like Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Sugababes, Jordin Sparks, I Blame Coco, Ke$ha and most recently Robyn.

"No More Michael Jackson" is a part of and also the name of Teddybears new EP. They will release two more EP's the coming future. Teddybears recently signed a contract with street fashion brand WeSC that will be their new distributor -the EP's will for example be available for purchase directly in WeSC boutiques.

Have a listen to the four tracks off the EP "No More Michael Jackson" below.

Chris Brown - She ain't you

I wonder at what pace this guy is working. It feels like he's popping out a new song(of his own or featuring on someone else's) every other week and a video a month. This year alone Chris has released the following singles: 'No Bullshit', 'Look at Me Now', 'Beautiful People'(WORTH a listen if you haven't danced to this yet) and now his new single 'She ain't you'.

His latest record is taken from his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. and is written by Brown, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buenda, Kevin McCall and Jason Boyd, and produced by Free School. 'She ain't you' samples both the remix of SWV's 'Right here' and Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature', and even in the video - directed by Collin Tilley -  Brown pays tribute to Jackson. Brown is dressed in an 80's-stykled suit similar to the one Michael Jackson wore in his music video for 'Smooth Criminal', plus Brown is doing various iconic Jackson-inspired  dance moves.

The song is a slow RnB-affair and I think the homage he pays to Michael both in the song and the video is very tastefully done.

Michael Jackson - Hollywood Tonight

Here's the second video from Michael Jackson's posthumous album 'Michael'. The song is a nice pastiche, but I really do like the video, and especially the dancing at that.

Alert! New Michael Jackson single: 'Hold My Hand'

Michael Jackson has always had a huge impact in the world of pop. Last year he tragically passed away, and now his record company Sony has announced the plans to release an album with unreleased songs on a new album simply called 'Michael', just in time for christmas during the month of december(10th to be precise).

On the album you will find collaborations with 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, as well as a track called 'Hold My Hand', wich is a duet with Akon, and also the first single.


The song was recorded by Jackson in 2007. Akon finished recording his own vocals for the song this year, and it's said that Michael had left a handwritten note stating that he wanted 'Hold My Hand' to be the first song from his next project.
We can all speculate wither this is true or not, but however the case may be we still stand with the fact that we have a new single from Michael Jackson, and even better it's out TODAY folks!

Akon has said the following about the song "It has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song. I’m so proud to have had the chance to work with Michael, one of my all time idols.”
