Having been left decidedly unimpressed by Mariah Carey's latest single, Triumphant (Get 'Em), I've taken to delving into the Diva's back catalogue to get my Carey fix- well, at least until the next song drops. It was during this musical excursion that I happened to rediscover I Feel It, and thought I'd share it.

[Unreleased Music] Mariah Carey "I Feel It"

[Listen] Calvin Harris And Florence Welch: "Sweet Nothing"
Having already teamed up on the remix of Florence + The Machines' number one hit Spectrum, Florence (minus the Machine) and Calvin Harris have once again joined forces to create the dance track, Sweet Nothing. Though produced exclusively by Calvin Harris, the song shares its writing credits between himself and the flame haired Diva.

[Review] Charlotte Church: "How Not To Be Surprised When You're a Ghost"
Former childhood classical star Charlotte Church is back on the musical scene and seems to have gone all Alternative/indie on us. Taken from her September due EP One, the song How Not To Be Surprised When You're a Ghost finds the Welsh singer taking a confident stride in this new musical direction.
Admittedly, I wouldn't have recognised How Not To Be Surprised When You're a Ghost as Charlotte Church if I hadn't been watching the (slightly creepy) video while listening. It's just so different from anything I've ever heard from her. Luckily, it's "different" in a great way.

[New Video] Mariah Carey "Triumphant (Get 'Em)"
How does Mariah Carey do "Triumphant" in the new video for the soon to be labelled "buzz-track" of the same name? Well, the same way she does everything else: posing, pouting and trying as hard as she can to be sexy.
Just like the song itself [review here], Mariah Carey isn't even the main attraction of the video- that privilege goes to the boxers and the boxing match itself. Instead, she's relegated to the babe holding the numbered cards between bouts. Not that she seems to have a problem with it; clearly enjoying parading herself and her new slimline figure for the crowd. Or maybe I've interpreted it all wrong and this is really a visual representation of Mariah Carey's own triumph with her weight? (Why does that sound so bitchy when I read it back?)

[Review] Leona Lewis : "Trouble"
Leona Lewis has released a new song from her upcoming third LP, Glassheart. And people, you can all relax, because the dance direction last single Collide was showcasing is nowhere to be found. Instead, new song Trouble is a dramatic, and building mid-tempo song that puts Leona Lewis firmly back in safer (musical) territory, though with an edgier attitude courtesy of the lyrics.
Fellow British Diva Emeli Sande was responsible for penning Trouble, and her influence can be heard strongly throughout the song. Not just lyrically, but musically: with the composition and structuring of the song seeming to mirror Sande's own breakthrough hit Heaven quite heavily. It's a choice that really only fails on Trouble's chorus; which contains too many distracting pauses in the vocal melody for this listeners taste.

[Album Track] Ellie Varner : "So Fly"
Everyone has those days where they feel like they're not at their best: not quite skinny enough, pretty enough, rich enough or just generally feeling inadequate.
New Diva on the scene Ellie Varner knows what I'm talking about. Her song So Fly is a quirky, funny and honest account of a young lady, who though thinks her life might be easier if she looked differently, has come to accept that she's "So Fly" the way she is.

[Free Music] Kelly Clarkson "Get Up (A Cowboy's Anthem)"
Do I like Kelly Clarkson? Yes. Do I like free music? God, yes! Do I like American Football? Not particularly. Well then, today is (kinda) my lucky day because Ms Clarkson has released a rousing (free) tribute to her hometown American football team, the Dallas Cowboys
Kelly Clarkson is one of five musicians- the others being Kid Rock, Travie McCoy, Ice Cube and Wiz Khalifa- been given the opportunity by Pepsi to write and record a song for their own favourite team. Kelly was apparently so excited with the honour of recording a song for the Dallas Cowboys, she penned the lyrics the same night she was offered the gig! Now that is a fan!
