[New Music] Jessie Ware Covers Browstone's "If You Love Me"



Jessie Ware continues to impress me with her musical output. The South London born singer's debut studio album Devotion has already joined the ranks of my favourite albums of 2012; and her choice to now cover Brownstone's brilliant 1994 hit If You Love Me- boy does that bring back memories- only exacerbates my fondness for the rising star.

[Watch] Ke$ha Performs "Die Young" @ X-Factor



The notable absence of a post on Ke$ha's comeback single Die Young should speak for itself. It's not that I hated it, it was just that it sounded all kinds of generic, without any one thing to reel me. Hence it quickly dropping off my radar. However, her first live performance of the song on the Australian X-Factor has made me sit up (slightly) and take notice again.

[New Music] Mariah Carey "Bring It On Home"



The first time we heard (a snippet of) Mariah Carey singing Bring It On Home, it was during an Obama fundraiser earlier this year. Well it's no surprise that the full song has now been released, the day after President Obama won his second term in the White House.

[Review] Diva's Halloween Costume Extravaganza



Yesterday was that special time of year where one could go out dressed like whatever the F***k one wanted, and not get committed or sectioned for their efforts. Yes people, yesterday was Halloween! How spooky!

Now if you're a misery guts like me (see the gifs below to get  a sense of where I'm coming from) you would have done zilch to mark the occasion. Well that's not strictly true, I sat in watching Adams Family and Polyester (Don't ask). I was planning on changing the banner of the site to somehow mark the day, but even that proved too much for my lazy behind.


But our Divas are a more exuberant and festive bunch than yours truly, and they didn't let us down; getting into the unholy spirit in the way only rich people with too much free time on their hands can. So let's check out what our lovely ladies were serving up on the catwalk of Halloween 2012!
