Single review and Video: Katy Perry Ft Kanye west "E.T" #winning

I must admit I'm out of the loop when it comes to most things Katy Perry. I hadn't even heard of her new song E.T until it was in the entertainment news for not only ending Lady Gaga's 6 week Born this way reign, but also achieving the more impressive feat of being her fourth number one from her latest album Teenage Dreams. Still, it wasn't until the video was released, today, that I actually heard the song, which features Kanye West, and am pleasantly surprised that I quite like it.

Christina Aguilera congratulates Britney Spears via Twitter

 It looks like past wounds are healing as the mutual appreciation between one time rivals Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera continues to blossom. Britney started the love train rolling early this month by calling Christina "truly talented" in an interview with Out Magazine and now the Bionic singer has returned the favour by congratulating Britney on her new album Femme Fatale via her new twitter feed. How sweet!

Did Lady Gaga's "Born this way" rip-off South Korean Group Snsd's "Be Happy"?

Did Gaga copy SNSD?

Another potentially uncredited, shall we say, "influence"- in addition to Madonna's Express yourself- on Lady Gaga's Born this way has surfaced online via Youtube. Admittedly the song Be happy, by South Korean girl-group SNSD, does bare a striking similarity to the electronic backing track of Gaga's mega hit; but it could just as easily be argued that SNSD's producer ripped off Madonna's Express yourself too,hence the similarities between all three tracks.

Perhaps worryingly for Gaga, having recently heard Born this way, the producer of Be happy has decided to contact the singers' management for "further information" about the track. It's not clear what "information" he's trying to gather but it may be in anticipation of future legal action against the singer.

If he was a smart man he would be downplaying the similarities between the songs, because if Madonna does decide to come-a-knocking on Gaga's door claiming she was plagiarised, then she'd only have to follow the breadcrumbs from Gaga door back to his own home in South Korea to serve his butt too.

Single Review: EMA "California"

Allow me to move away from the mainstream music scene and present to you something a little different today. Enter Indie Diva Erika M. Anderson, Aka EMA, and her haunting new single California. A strangely effecting piece of music that sounds sparse and lonely at the start but builds into a cacophony of, what could sound like, noise if it wasn’t for the beautiful chords giving it shape and direction.

Review: Britney Spears "Femme Fatale"

Unfortunately for Britney Spears her new album Femme Fatale has leaked prior to it's March 25th release date and via Youtube and Soundcloud I have had a chance to hear the album in its entirety. But after this early preview will I still be buying the album come release day?
