Well, well, well... hasn't Mr Peter Gene Hernandez, aka Bruno Mars, been busy in 2010!
He's featured on some of the biggest numbers this year - Nothin' On You by B.o.B, and Billionaire by Travie McCoy. He's also co-penned some...
Tim Berg is a (another) Swedish house DJ, however most of you out there would probably know him by his other stage name, Avicii. The 21 year old (yes, he's that young) has been around the professional DJ scene for a few years now,...
Is there anything Ri-Ri-Rihanna can't do???
Only 2 weeks ago Rihanna topped the Billboard Hot 100 with What's My Name (featuring Canadian rapper Drake), the second single to be lifted off her BRILLIANT album, Loud. Whilst Only...
It's here!
Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue, Higher, has just landed on the 'net. The video features Miss M looking sexier than ever, oozing all over the back seat of a very swish car. She looks hot in her little black number, fo'...

One of the best tracks from Kelis' OUTSTANDING album Flesh Tone has been released as the forth single - Brave. Behind Acapella, this song one of the strongest on the album.... a definite favourite of mine.
The video, as good as...
Well, kinda. The below is a video mash-up by some dude (that's the technical term) by name the of Mec Jagger. The mash-up contains Willow's version of Whip My Hair (sound) against Sesame Street's I Love My Hair (visual). It works,...
Whilst some of us are still basking in the beauty that was Cut Copy's last album, In Ghost Colours, it's hard to believe that the album that debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, was released over two years ago. How quickly time...
You can tell by the lack of OOMPH in my title that I'm not overly happy/impressed/joyous about this one. I can't even call this post a 'premiere' as the clip has been online for days now. I'm just really not even sure how to deal....
I think you'd all agree that the Black Eyed Peas new single, The Time (Dirty Bit), is seriously one of the dodgiest songs they've ever produced. I get it - will.i.am is on this total electro power crusade and you have to admit...
Seriously, I swear Kylie Minogue's management and record company are out to get her. They can be forgiven for releasing All The Lovers as the lead single off Aphrodite (but only just). It is a good track, with it's easy-pop chorus...
It's not often that I'll post about a video clip, and not necessarily a song. However with Keri Hilson's new track - Pretty Girl Rock - the video clip is definitely the star.
Whilst the song is ok, it's a little bit more I Am......
Have you heard this yet? Is that a no? So I wasn't the only one hiding under a rock then apparently.
The very, very gorgeous Wynter Gordon has released the video for her new track, Dirty Talk. Now whilst I'm calling it a "new"...
So let me get this straight (ha, first and last time I'll say that!) - if you don't already luuuuuuurve the trashiness that is Ke$ha, why are you even reading my blog? For a starters the girl has class. Yes, it may the be the class...
Yep, she is back!
I'm talking about the 19 year old that stole the heart of many in the industry, claiming two very important Grammy's in 2009 (Best New Artist, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance); as well as many, many nominations...
One-third of the infamous Swedish House Mafia, Axwell, has been tempting our little booties with this number for a while now. Well my bootie anyway, it's beena-shakin' non-stop to this track.
Anyway.
In his latest solo production,...
Yes, I'm talking about Your Song - the Elton John number that brings me to tears every time I hear it. Now, just in case I had anything left in those dry little tear ducts of mine, the beautiful Ellie Goulding covers the track.
Bless....
The brilliant Sarah McLeod (ex-Superjesus legend) covers Bruce Springsteen in Dancing in the Dark. The track is stripped-back and completely remade over and I have only one word to say...
WOW
Well done Sarah. I bloody hope radio...
Ok, so I've been a bit quiet over the last week or so. And yes, I've got all your text messages/emails/phone calls/faxes/page messages stressing your concern over my where-abouts. Ok, I may be exaggerating a tiny bit. Let's just...
I've obviously been asleep for a few months, otherwise I'm not sure how to explain how I missed this.
Dido featured on the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack with this number, Everything to Lose. Now it's not the fact that I missed this...
There's not a lot not to like about this track - the ever brilliant Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso) team up with another great UK export (one whom Australia is really yet to recognise if you ask...
Yep, she's gonna do it. Debut at #1 that is.
By now you would have heard Ke$ha's latest installment to her musical reign of pop-trash-power, We R Who We R, especially if you read my blog about it 3 weeks ago. According to Billboard,...
Alex Gaudino has been climbing up the ARIA Club Chart with this track now for a few weeks, and I have to admit I've been singing-and-dancing to this one in the mornings (bad image, sorry) for some time now.
To refresh your memory,...
A few posts ago (read: like 2 weeks ago) I provided some juicy little music, that of which is Higher by Taio Cruz, with added sultry vocals of none other than Miss Kylie Minogue.
The track, which will be lifted off the International...
Shots have just been released from Katy Perry's shots for the December edition of Harper's Bazaar in line with an exclusive interview with the new Mrs Brand.
Katy sure looks fiiiiiine in the shoot - take a look and judge...
A few weeks ago I alerted y'all to Nicole Scherzinger's next attempt at solo success. The ex-Pussycat Dolls babe is trying, again, to mimic the global chart success that she managed to achieve with the girls.
In the video for...
Ok, so I know this has been 'round for a few weeks now, and I have to admit I didn't like it at first, but Nelly Furtado's latest track - Night is Young - is finally starting to grow on me.
It's a catchy pop tune (though it's no...
Video stills from Whip my Hair, Willow.
FIERCE.
There is really not much more to say about Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. You would have heard (almost everywhere) about the upcoming single release,...
HAWT, FUCKING HAWT.
Now tell me that RiRi isn't gorgeous. I dare you.
The above shot is taken from her Marie Claire UK shoot for their December edition. All shots, and I mean ALL, are just beautiful. Bless 'er.
Read the article...
And while the iron is hot, strike!
Rihanna's second helping from her new album, Loud (which is released in a week or so); has hit Australian radio and iTunes this week.
The track, titled What's My Name feat. Drake, has a bit...
Ok, so call me gay (again) I know, but everytime I listen to this song I feel a little tingle inside. Katy Perry has hit the nail on the head with this one, and you can pretty much guarantee she's going to have another worldwide...
Last week I reviewed Brooke Fraser's latest (and greatest) album, Flags. It's still rotating quite heavily on my iTunes playlist, and I'm proud to say I know the words to almost every song now - LOL. It really is a great album, have...

Well it's been a week or so since I've blogged (apologies team), and gee has a lot gone on!
Princess Robyn premieres the video clip for her latest installment, Indestructible, off the final part off her Body Talk series (final album...
Climbing up the global charts faster than than Miley Cyrus can rip off her panties, Far East Movement feat. The Cataracs and Dev are really making waves with Like a G6. The track has just landed at #1 on the Billboard charts this...
Well it certainly is the week for new music! Taio Cruz is about to re-release his Rokstarr album, repackaged with a lovely remix of the track Higher, featuring none other than our very own Ms Minogue.
Their version of the track...
Two weeks ago I heard from a very reliable source that the Black Eyed Peas were releasing a follow up to the 2009 global smash album, The E.N.D, titled The Beginning. Further sources have confirmed that The Beginning will be released...
Dutch hottie Eva Simons (of Silly Boy fame) teams up with fellow Dutch sensation, Afrojack, for their new track - Take Over Control. The song has already found success in their native land, is climbing up the US club charts, and...
So most of you by now would have heard Adrian Lux's Teenage Crime. After spending somewhat of an eternity in the club scene (ok, so maybe the last 6 months or so - close enough) it's now found it's way into the commercial market,...
A few weeks ago I posted an article about one of New Zealand's best exports - Brooke Fraser. Brooke's third studio album Flags was released last week... and yes, it lives up to expectations.
The album kick starts with...
Well the new stuff just keeps on rollin' on in...
Ke$ha has literally just released her new track to radio. Titled We R Who We R off her new album, Cannibal (to be released in November), Ke$ha informed Entertainment Weekly that...
Ex lead Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger, is set to launch her new single in late November.
This'll be Nicole's second attempt at solo chart success, considering her last efforts seemed to flunk the charts globally. Whatever U...
Well here it is people, the video premiere for Rihanna's latest single Only Girl (In The World).
The video was directed by Anthony Mandler, long time colleague and video director of Rihanna (he's directed 15 of Rihanna's video...

Seems like it was only a day ago that I was talking to you about Robyn and her next single, Indestructible... oh that's right, 'cause it was. You heard it here first - Robyn will releasing Indestructible as her third and final single...
Fancy that. Who'd have thought that the Freemasons would keep producing hands-in-the-air numbers that party-goers worldwide (like y'all) would love? Hmm?
Me. That's who.
The official video for the latest Freemasons track - Believer...
1. Lady Gaga - Applause
2. Annie - Back Together
3. Ricki-Lee - Come and Get in Trouble...
4. Monsieur Adi / A*M*E - What's Going On
