Jessie J being Sued For Copyright Infringement!



Oh dear, looks like Jessie J is being sued for copyright infringement. The song in question is her second UK number one hit-and no favourite of mine- 2011's Domino.

The song sure did remind me a lot of Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) when it was released, but as it was produced and written by the same people- notably Dr. Luke- it couldn't really be deemed plagiarism or infringment. More sloppy seconds, if you will.

Alicia Keys "A New Day" [New Music]



Alicia Keys has debuted a new song, A New Day, from her upcoming fifth studio album! Yay! Heavy beats, inspirational lyrics and an uplifting sound are what it delivers. As for the vocal, Alicia Keys is sounding coarser and throatier than ever, and much more akin to the live voice that we've heard lately.

Haim − "Forever" [Recommended Listening]



You'd think MTV would have the hang of adding credits to the start and THE END of the videos they play by now!! Obviously not! I Just watched a video, from halfway, and was eagerly awaiting its end so I could get the details to share with you guys, but no, MTV didn't want to make my life any easier, and decided to forgo those credits!

Watch Rihanna @ BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend Festival



Say what you like about Rihanna, but she always sings live and she always gives a hundred and ten percent during her performances. It's an attitude a lot of people could learn from. Case in point her extensive, closing, set at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend Festival.

Watch Leona Lewis @ Radio 1's Hackney Weekend Festival

As mentioned yesterday, Leona Lewis opened the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend Festival on the main stage. Being a Hackney native, the singer was on home ground, but that didn't stop the nerves showing a little at the start, but she quickly got it together as the set progressed.

Watch Lana Del Rey @ BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend Festival



It takes some nerve to rock up to a festival with just a string quartet and a piano, but it's just what Lana Del Rey did for her set at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend Festival.
