[New Music] Adele's New Bond Song, "Skyfall"




This hasn't been confirmed as the new Bond song, Skyfall, from Adele, but listening to it it's easy to hear why people are claiming it to be just that.

It clearly features vocals from Adele, has the Bond theme interwoven throughout and, if those weren't big enough clues, it has the word "Skyfall" in the chorus!!

[New Music Video] Christina Aguilera "Your Body"




Christina Aguilera turns cold blooded killer in the accompanying video for single, Your Body. Not content with just one victim though, Christina works those Rubenesque curves and manages to lure three unsuspecting men into her saucy web of death. But it's not all bad news; they do get a little Aguilera flavored sugar before she turns their lights off forever! A fair trade, some would say.

[Watch] Lana Del Rey Perform At Itunes Festival 2012

Lana del rey music itunes festival


The itunes Festival continues and Tuesday (the 25th of September) saw Lana Del Rey tread the boards of the famous North London venue, the Roundhouse.

Dressed surprisingly casual-Note:FLATS(!)- the fawning crowd had Lana at ease from the moment she appeared on stage, and we all know that a comfortable Lana performs best. She rewarded their warmth during Video Games (around the 28 minute mark): posing for pictures, doling out kisses and looking genuinely moved by the interaction with her fans. Bless.

[Review/New Music] Rihanna "Diamonds"

new music rihanna diamonds


Anyone thinking Rihanna was going to play it safe with the lead single from her next album- yes, another one is coming already- will be shocked by her new song Diamonds.

Rihanna called the Sia penned track "hippy" and "happy" and though that might be the case lyrically (it's a love song after all); musically, it has a surprisingly sombre mood. The production, provided by Benny Blanco, sounds simple and understated but it's a multi layered affair, with elements weaving in and out as the song progresses- my favourite being the Arabesque strings. Ultimately it offers a soft contrast to Rihanna's direct tone.
