Sibel wanna "Wake Up" her boyfriend

Sibel's latest album was a record stuffed with beautiful ballads. Now she's trying to reinvent herself and release someting comepletely different. On her new song Sibel is rocking it out in a upbeat popsong.
The video is set in a cartoony apartment. Sibel is trying to wake up her boyfriend and to pay attention to her and do stuff with her, while he's boring and minding his own business.

Kate Ryan - LoveLife

Belgian songstress Kate Ryan is back with a yet another catchy dance tune.  The chorus "one life - one love" line has been uttered in more songs than I can count, but I forgive her when the song is as summery as it is and samples the 90's classic 'Narcotic', by Liquidos. Perfect soundtrack for a bicycle ride in the summer breeze.

SNSD - Mr. Taxi/Run Devil Run


SNSD (or Girls Generation if you will) the most popular girlgroup in Asia atm, is back with a new fresh video called 'Mr. Taxi'. It's all you would want from a K-pop song and the video is great too -the choreography and dancing in particular.

SNSD - Mr. Taxi




'Mr. Taxi' is the follow up-video to 'Run Devil Run' which was the third video to be released on the Japanese market. Both songs are part of the same double A-side single. 'Run Devil Run' was a dissapointment though since it had a slower and much more boring sound than any of their previous videos. The video looks great though and the girls are supersexy, but that doesn't save a mediocre song I'm afraid.

Andreea Banica

If you like Inna Andreea Banica should definitely be your cup of tea. She's Romanian and started off as a singer in the duo/band Blondy with a girl friend in 2001 and had a huge success. The rest is- as they say- history. She's one of the most famous people in Romania, are considered to bone of the most beautiful women in Romania and are synonymous with dance music in her native country.

In 2007 Andreea started off a solo-career instead, which has been just as successful. Last year her label released a best of-album in Bulgaria after gaining huge success there with 'Samba', and even being nominated for most played song of 2010 there. On her best of-album she's mixing songs from Blondy, her solo-career and some new songs. You can listen to two of the new songs below. It's all very dancy, and got that Romanian/eastern europe sound that's been so popular all over Europe lately(rightfully so). Her videos is a bit too raunchy and tacky for my taste(the woman HAS done Playboy though, not shockingly so), but you can't standing still while listening to these fantastic tracks.

She's also got a brand new single for 2011 which you can listen to here:

Negin - Unexpected

You have probably not heard about Negin, but she seem to be gifted with some amazing writing skills since she's been credited on some of our favorite albums, for example BoA's fantastic album 'BoA' and Shawn Desman's album 'Fresh'. She's also written music for other artists like Asian megastars Koda Kumi and Namie Amuro, as well as for Swedish pop tartlet Amy Diamond and fictional teenage songstress Hannah Montana.

Now Negin has released her first own single in the US, which is called Unexpected. The song is doing fairly well and climbing various dance/club charts in the nation. And no wonder this Swedish powerhouse of a song has great vocals and would be the perfect soundtrack for a dance party on the beach this summer.

Kate Bush - Deeper Understanding

Kate Bush is back and present her fresh new video for us: 'Deeper Understanding'. The song is the first single from Kate Bush's forthcoming album 'Director's Cut'.

The video is a bit old to say the least. I won't give anything away. Just watch it below if you're a fan of Ms Bush.

Frankmusik - Do It In The AM (feat. Far East Movement)


Frankmusik is back -and with what a smash then!
His new single 'Do It In The AM' is the lead from his upcoming yet untitled sophomore album. And he's got a completely new sound. He's left the electro and has went to a more contemporary commercial dance oriented sound with clear 80's influences. It's fast paced, makes you wanna move and it's got a very infectious chorus. Joining in on the party is the currently very hot US-Asian Hip-Hop group Far East Movement. Interesting to see how this will do on radio.

Video Update: Mason feat. Róisín Murphy - Boadicea

We wrote about this song back in October and now the video has finally arrived. And it's a bloody and violent affair at that. Róisín goes against the men in her life quite brutally -and I love it. The song is still as amazing as when we first heard it.

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

That Bruno Mars have had huge success with both singles 'The Way You Are' and 'Granade' can't have passed you by. Now he's back with the third video from his acclaimed album 'Doo-Wops & Hoolighans' called 'The Lazy Song'. And the song goes well with the title. It's a laidback ska/reggae kinda song in the same musical vain as been done by several singer-songwriters before him like Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz.

It's a pleasant chillout song that you wanna listen to on a hot summer day while you lay in your hammock sipping lemonade through a straw. The video was directed by Nez and obviously(OBVIOUSLY!) they've thrown in monkeys with shades in a Bruno's bedroom to do choreographed dancing.

Here's another version of Ray Kay's Britney Spears - Till the World Ends-video: a dance version to be exact. Check it out below and watch Britney swing those arms and legs.

Anine Stang - Dominoes

Norwiegan singer Anine Stang is treating us to this easylistneable sugery pop thing of a song called 'Dominoes'. It's her new single and in the quite pretty video she's been inspired more than a little from the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' as a handsome current/former lover is erasing Anine from his memory.
