Azealia Banks Returns with "Heavy Metal And Reflective"

While everyone stays fighting on who the better female rapper is- Nicki Minaj or the ghost of Christmas past (AKA Iggy Azalea)- I have quietly been waiting for Azealia Banks to make her return. Sure, this Diva has a stinky attitude, and says some stupid stuff on Twitter, but her EPs have shown that this lady has the smarts and the originality to really shake things up.

[Watch] Mariah Carey Performs "Meteroite" @ The 2014 World Music Awards..Yawn

Meteorite is one of my jams from Me. I Am Mariah, so I was excited to hear the Diva was giving it a live bash at The 2014 World Music Awards. I was also a little confused- isn't You Don't Know What to Do her current single?- but whatever, we know this campaign is an assortment of random foolery. We have to live with that.

[Watch] Leona Lewis Covers Naughty Boy's "La La La" @ World Music Awards 2014

Naughty Boy's La La La was practically the soundtrack to my summer last year.

The original featured site favorite (*sniggers*) male vocalist Sam Smith, but as he's infinitely more busy since his career has taken off, Naughty Boy enlisted Diva, Leona Lewis, to provide the lead vocals at the 2014 World Music Awards.

[New Music] Beyonce Feat. Nicki Minaj - "Flawless" Remix

So I got somewhere to be in ten minutes, yet here I am (stupidly) dropping this post on Beyonce's remix for the awesome Flawless. (Watch me be late!)

[Music Video] Janelle [Music Video] Janelle Monae - ‘Electric Lady’

Janelle Monae continues to bring me mountain air with her output. Freshness unfettered.

Newest video, for album title track Electric Lady, finds the Diva more chilled than seen in previous videos; enjoying the delights of a house party with her cool crew. (I'm in the background somewhere, don't let no one tell you any different!) It's just good vibes all round.

Yes, That Is Mariah Carey In Katy Perry's Video For "This Is How We Do"!

I am feeling the video for Katy Perry's new single, This is How We do. Really, I am!

The song itself isn't bad, being another kinda generic ode to going out, getting stupidly drunk and putting it about- sorta my life story. But my enjoyment of it has been enhanced a hundredfold by the playful visuals the song has been given.

[Listen] Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett Team Up on 'Anything Goes'

Lady Gaga is back where she sounds most comfortable: singing Jazz! Yipee!

Teaming up with Tony Bennet once again- the pair previously dueted on The Lady is a Tramp- the resulting track, Anything Goes, should remind those who view Gaga as merely a shock jock that there is real talent behind the clownish costumes. And it's a side we'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming months, as the duo are set to release album Cheek To Cheek this September.

[Review] Jessie J Feat. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj - "Bang Bang"

Jessie J kind of fell off with her second album Alive.

Hoping to reclaim former success with album number three, the Diva has released its lead single, the much hyped Bang Bang. A song that should make her relevant alone with its featured artists: vocalist Ariana Grande and rapper Nicki Minaj.

With a gospel influence and two capable singers at its helm, I was expecting one helluva vocal show from Bang Bang. It's an expectation that never really fulfilled, with the song peaking after halfway with a throat-busting (A Cappella) run from Jessie that should see the singer blow out her voice box sometime this year when attempting live. After that "moment", it's a noisy stumble to an unsatisfying conclusion.

[Free For All Friday]

I am currently watching videos of cats...who says I have no life!

If you don't know the score, here be the rules:

• Try not to get too perverted- this site needs to basically be "safe for work".
• If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
• It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
• No nasty comments aimed at other users.

Inappropriate hugs to all of y'all (hi-fives to the underagers), and wishing you an awesome weekend!

Kimbra Serves Up Irresistable Disco-Funk With "Miracle"

Wow, Kimbra's Miracle is giving me life today!

I woke up feeling pretty grim - a feeling compounded by the sun and its mocking fierceness. However Kimbra has come to my emotional rescue with this disco-inspired ditty.

Miracle doesn't quite sound like anything I've heard from the Diva before- vocally or production wise- so either I've not listened to her debut album properly, or she's changing direction with her new LP, The Golden Echo.

Whatever the case, I needed this today, so thanks Kimi!
