Ciara- "Gimme dat" official video

Ciara's back with a new song called Gimme that from her upcoming album "Basic Instinct" (scheduled for release on the 29th of November). Ciaras' going back to her roots with  a song that's bass heavy, fast-paced and has a crazy beat that just makes you want to dance.

The video is great too and has Ciara displaying some amazing choreography, reminding us that she- move over Beyonce- is the strongest female dancer out there.

Ciara you certainly have been "gone for too long" and  I, for one, am looking forward to the return of the Queen of Crunk!

"Gimme That" lyrics

Willow Smith - "Whip my hair" Video and lyrics

Willow Smith, the daughter of Will and Jada Smith, is launching her music career at the unbelievably young age of 10 with the sassy tune Whip my Hair.  It's essentially an empowering  song about doing your own thing and not letting anybody's hate or negativity  get to you. Advice she may need to remember when the "too young to be in music" and  the "Rihanna Jnr" comments start biting.

Whillow's talk/singing is set over a heavy, imposing, hip-hop beat, which is reminiscent of Beyoncé's Diva,and  is decorated with electronic flourishes that add to the track without distracting  from a beat that has been designed solely to get people dancing.

Whip my hair is a catchy song and showcases a surprising level of attitude and confidence for someone so young. It'll be interesting to see where this Diva in training goes next musically.

Rihanna- Watch both video versions of "who's that chick" (Day and night)

Day version                                                   Night version

Not content with having a single out already (see Only girl in the world Rihanna has released not one but two videos for a David Guetta track named Who's that chick.The song itself is a campy, fun if throwaway, dance number that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Beyonce- "Halo" live at NAACP

Beyonce gets emotional while
singing Halo live.

I previously reviewed Halo and in that review commented on Beyonce's vocal delivery not really sounding like,well, Beyonce. To further illustrate my point and show you what the "Beyonce" way of singing the song would have been like, if she had conducted the vocal arrangement, I present to you her NNACP performance.

*Interesting fact: It turns out that the song was actually meant for Leona Lewis. This makes the album's vocal arrangement make more sense*
