The Cataracs - "Club Love"

Cool beat but aren't we DONE with autotune yet? Especially when it turns two good looking white guys and makes them sound like weird alien women.

The Gadsens - "The Sailor Song"

I first heard this band almost two years ago and was immediately captivated by the sound. It's moody but totally accessible. It's the kind of song I like to put on and just zone out to. Now the band is re-releasing the song and has create a really stunning video to accompany it.



I really hope that they start to get some notice with this song and I can't wait to hear more from them.

KeKe Palmer - "Superjerkin'"

Check out this hot new song from KeKe Palmer (from the movie 'Akeelah and the Bee'), called "Superjerkin'"

WOW-WEE-WOO-WAH!

New Music Tuesday

Elliott Yamin - Fight for Love
More smooth stylings from one of my favorite American Idol contests. Only available on Amazon's MP3 Store. Support this guy! As Randy would say, he's CRAZY talented and he can SANG! The music video for the first single is also great - I described it to a friend as something that would fit in to the late 90's. You know, kind of cheesy concept but there is a STORY at least. Needless to say, I like it.



Ciara - Fantasy Ride
From the UGLY CD artwork to the scatterbrained collection of songs this album is a hot mess.

Enimen - "Old Times Sake" (Single)
The preview actually has me intrigued. Granted, not enough to BUY the single but it sounds much better than that crap first single being pushed down our throats.

Bif Naked - The Promise
Remember her? She had a hauntingly beautiful song on Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Lucky") and then a spunky radio single ("Bad Reputation") which was also featured in one of the Shrek movies.

Jewel - Lullaby
Crazy poem-writer lady does a bedtime album but is missing the promotional tie-in of being on Dancing With the Stars. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ready for Rihanna's Summer Smash?

It's a low quality audio but take a listen a song from the up-coming Terminator movie that Rihanna will release. I smell smash hit...

P.S.---What other Rihanna song does this remind me of?

I <3 Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland is all the talent of Beyonce minus the self-entitlement. She WORKS HARD and is making a career all on her own. No thanks to Papa Knowles who is obviously obsessed with squeezing every dollar out of the product otherwise known as Beyonce.

Kelly is uber talented and not afraid to try all kinds of music. She is going to ride the wave of electronic R&B as evident by this clip of her as a guest on David Guetta's new song "When Love Takes Over".

Melody Gardot, yes please!

I've been waiting for someone to fill in the post-Norah Jones void I've been feeling the last few years. Along came Melody Gardot into my inbox this morning...

Classic video (love men in tuxedos and that old school Hollywood dance number vibe) and a soothing voice make this my favorite song of the day.

GO SEE MATT ALBER

For those who don't know him (or didn't follow my recommendation to check him out)...



Beautiful lyrics, Rufus-like voice, fantastic video imagery. I think you get the point that I like him.



Anyhow, he is playing a show in Hollywood that I can't attend (will be in Chicago for a basketball tournament) but would love for people to go see him and support him.

And if you happen to grab me an autograph or piece of merchandise, I would not complain. :)

Rascal Flatts CD $4.99!

As much as I love and support Apple, I am always on the hunt for a good deal (especially now as I don't have a job). Amazon.com has an MP3 store that often has $0.69 singles and they are all DRM-free. It integrates seamlessly with iTunes and you can also subscribe to a weekly newsletter that offers FREE songs.

With that being said, check it out:

RASCAL FLATTS NEW CD (out today) - UNSTOPPABLE for $4.99!

Sliimy Makes me Smiley

This is my Monday happy song... so cute and catchy! The singer (Sliimy) kinda looks like Prince and his musical style reminds me of Mika.

En-hoy!
