[VIDEO PREMIERE] Alex Gaudino feat. Kelly Rowland // What A Feeling

Whilst she tantalises the American market with her (somewhat-awesome-lacking) single Motivation featuring rapper Lil Wayne, Kelly Rowland continues to play with her UK/European market in her collaboration with Italian DJ Alex Gaudino. The single, What A Feeling, was originally released in mid March; however just now has a video for the track been released.

Ms Rowland looks mighty fine in her CFM boots and white shirt, showing the other homeboys on stage some serious dance moves. Seriously, I think some people underestimate how fine this girl really is. Damn!

We heart you Kelly Rowland. We heart you lots.

Whilst the track is not yet available for the Australian public to purchase digitally, great news is that as of this week it was sent to commercial radio - so expect a digital release soon!

[THOM'S TOP TRACKS] March 2011

Thom-John pretending not to get an awesome profile pic. PS: he begged me to put this up.

After much consideration and deliberation, I have given in. Given in to my dog that is. My dog, Thomas-John (simply known to many as Thom-John, Thom-Thom, or just Thom), is a Maltese/Shitzu X that is feeling a little neglected when it comes to this blog. He's been questioning his level of involvement in articles published here, or simply lack there of.

So after much discussion, we've decided he's decided that the monthly blog post that was formerly known as the TOP FIVE KILLERS will now be known as THOM'S TOP TRACKS, with tracks/singles/songs that will be exclusively recommended by my awesome dog, Thom-John*

Each month Thom-John will have the ultimate call on what he believes to be the hottest new tracks to have found themselves in my our playlist.

So without future ado, I give you Thom's Top Tracks for March. I hope you like them as much as I do he does.

*That may or may not be the case. Just sayin'.

[FRESH RELEASE] Rune RK feat. Kelly Rowland // Free Fall

Well hello Miss Thang, my girl has been busy! Only a week or so ago did I give your ears a sweet little listen to Kelly Rowland's latest collaboration with Alex Gaudino, when another dance/club number finds it way onto the internet.

Free Fall is K Row's latest joint venture, this time with Danish DJ Rune RK. It's a pumpin' house number that will smash clubs world over. No official details on clips or release dates as of yet, but stay tuned for more. In the meantime, take a listen below.

BUT, before you do - talk about six degrees of seperation!

+ In 2003 Rune RK released a track called Calabria, his debut track under that name (he'd previously released material under the alias of Artificial Funk)

+ In 2007 the track was then mashed with Crystal Waters' 2003 sensation Destination Unknown by Italian DJ Alex Gaudino and released as the multi-platinum selling Destination Calabria

+ In 2011 Gaudino worked with Rowland to produce the yet-to-be-released single What A Feeling

+ And here we are again, in 2011 again and Rowland is now working with Rune RK!

Phew, that was tiring. Now listen to the track. Enjoy.

LISTEN TO NEW ALEX GAUDINO FEAT. KELLY ROWLAND WITH "WHAT A FEELING"

And Kelly Rowland is back!

Whilst you may say "she never left" - well she did, actually. If we go back to 2010 Kelly presented us with a fresh collaboration with David Guetta, otherwise known as Commander. It was a massive track (clearly, as it made my top 20 singles of 2010), and paved the way for what we assumed was going to be a great album release.

Umm, not the case. In fact we're still yet to see an album!!!

Kelly then delivered the singles Rose Coloured Glasses [VIDEO] Grown Woman [AUDIO] and more recently with Lil Wayne, Motivation [AUDIO]. Let's not forget her collaboration with Nelly, Gone [VIDEO]. Ugh. All tracks sound like they've been pulled out of some b-side album disposal from 2002.

(Ok, there was Forever and a Day which was good - I'll give her that! [VIDEO])

Hello? R&B and Hip-Hop has moved on people. No longer are we swinging our hips in a dirty R&B club to the likes of TLC or SWV (don't get me wrong - love those bitches); we're grinding our hips to something jacked up by Benny Benassi, Afrojack or of course, David Guetta. R&B and Hip-Hop music has taken a turn, and a turn for the better.

So before I go on a tirade about the David Guetta Apocalypse, let's move to Kelly's latest collaboration with Alex Gaudino - What A Feeling.

Alex came back to us last year with the track I'm In Love (I Wanna Do It) [VIDEO] -- another great song that made my Top 100 of 2010 -- a standard yet awesome house number that did quite well globally. Riding the success of that, he's employed the beautiful Miss Rowland to provide vocals on his new single.

What A Feeling is similar to I'm In Love (I Wanna Do It) in the fact it's another feel-good house number that'll have gay boys and dancing girls on podiums alike. It'll be a massive success in Europe (just 'cause), but unsure it'll do the same here in Australia - unless of course commercial radio jump on it. Let's wait and see.

The video is being filmed as we speak, but for now, enjoy the audio below. I love it - I'll be spinnin' this one for a while. Enjoy!

No word on a local release date as of yet, however visit Alex Gaudino's digital space to keep track of his release [ITUNES]

NB: I ain't no Kelly hater, in fact I love the girl - that is my dilemma! :)

Alex Gaudino / I'm In Love

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, Alex Gaudino is the Italian DJ who brought us Destination Calabria in 2007 - a mash up of Rune's Calabria and Crystal Waters' Destination Unknown, both originally released back in 2003. The track was nothing short of a success, reaching top 3 in Australia, the UK, and many countries throughout Europe.

Following that Alex employed Shena on vocals for his next club smash, Watch Out, which features soccer-uniform-clad girls playing it out on a typical Ministry of Sound (MoS) video clip.

(Note: have you noticed that trend with MoS' video clips? All the decent club tracks will have chicks in barely nothing and/or bikini's dancing/playing/stretching/sexying it up. Take Eric Prydz's Call On Me for example. Here, see what I mean - thanks very much).

Back to Alex. His latest track I'm In Love (I Wanna Do It) has just reached the UK top 10, is doing similar things in Europe, and as I mentioned earlier is picking up club play here in Australia. It definitely has that summer party sound to it, so expect that you'll see/hear more of this one around.

Enjoy!
