Earlier today I talked to my soft spot for Benny Benassi, and how surprised I was that I actually liked something Chris Brown put his name too. Well, the collaboration between the two gentlemen that I've found myself engaged in is Beautiful People, Brown's official single from his F.A.M.E album.
Beautiful People sees the once unilkely couple (although since the David Guetta-Black Eyed Peas combo a few years back it's no longer a surprise to see house DJs working with hip-hop/R&B artists) get together to produce a electro house / pop number that has already found itself inside the ARIA top ten here in Australia.
And the video - it features a range of footage taken from personal recordings of Brown with his entourage (dance crew The Rejectz) and cameos from various recording artists including Timbaland, Estelle, Pharrell, Diddy, Brandy and more. Whilst it's lurverly seeing all his peeps, the video is pretty bo-ring. Go ahead and watch though, as the track is good! Enjoy.

Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg seems to be following suit in taking a journey down the house music road. Following in the footsteps of a variety of hip-hip, rap and R&B stars like the Black Eyed Peas and ChrisBrown; Snoop has employed the talents of David Guetta to remix his 2010 single Wet.
The single, originally produced by The Cataracs (think Like a G6 with Far East Movement), was released in December 2010 and barely made an impact on the charts, anywhere. Enter Mr Guetta and three months later we have an immediate hit. Sweat(David Guetta Remix) is currently top twenty in the UK and top ten in Australia. The track is so hot here in Oz that it was the most added track to Australian radio last week, and as we speak, it's challenging JenniferLopez's On The Floor for the iTunes #1 downloaded track.
The video (below) is essentially a remixed version of Snoop's original Wet video - it's full of tramps, whores and two-bit hookers. But hey, who am I to judge. In fact, I may go as far as saying I think I even like it.
Hell - anything is better than than God forsaken piece of trash aka Friday by Rebecca Black (and that my dear friends, will be the last time I mention that bloody song!)

Oh, the dilemma I have with the Black Eyed Peas.
Before I start, I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that will.i.am has done wonders for the world of R&B/hip-hop. He's turned a whole music genre completely upside-down with his work with David Guetta, transforming R&B/hip-hop into a dance phenomena - hard beats, house music and electronic sounds. There has never been such a mix in music styles... what constitutes as R&B? Or pop? Or house? Or hip-hop? Oh dear. That's a whole blog post there in itself.
Anyway. So my dilemma is - how far is too far? The E.N.D, the Black Eyed Peas previous album, was clearly a genre defining moment. As well as that, it was a generational defining moment. I Gotta Feeling[VIDEO] was the biggest selling single of last decade... globally mind you! When you hear it you can't help but get goosebumps from the immediate joy you get from that song. That, my dear friends, is brilliant music.
Of course The E.N.D also spawned the singles Boom Boom Pow[VIDEO], Meet Me Halfway[VIDEO], Rock That Body and Imma Be[VIDEO]. Some of those are questionable tracks, but even still, defining in their own way.
The follow up album, The Beginning, brought us the lead single The Time (Dirty Bit)[VIDEO] - a mashed up cover of the Bill Medley and Jennifer Warne track from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. The track was so ripped apart and bass-bumped all over it almost sounded uncomfortable. The video, not bad, but the track? Oh God. All I can do is apologise to all those Dirty Dancing lovers out there who are still trying to recover from the mess that was that track.
But alas, we have a saviour. That saviour is Just Can't Get Enough. Very similar to material from The E.N.D, Fergie swoons away (looking a million dollars in the clip) in a number that is much more pleasant to the ears. In this track all BEP crew members get to participate too, including poor Taboo who normally gets shoved to the side.
And so for the video. It was shot in Tokyo (prior to the devastating earthquake and following tsunami), and so Team BEP have dedicated this clip to the people of Japan. Well done team. I should also recognise that the video is actually quite good. Simple as it shows off the neon Tokyo, with Fergie looking absolutely glamorous, and the remainder of the BEP enjoying their time singing away.

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 that their previous album, The E.N.D, was a bloody good album. I Gotta Feeling was the highest selling single of the last decade people, you can't ignore that.
But going back to The Time (Dirty Bit), I just don't know that they've hit the mark. Granted, a hell of a lot of Australian's disagree with me, as last week the song bulleted from #10 to #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart. As if we didn't expect it, but did it deserve it...? Maybe not.
Anyway. I digress. The video premiered today, and so I bring it to you. I actually like it to be honest. It has the 'party' vibe, their little avatars make an appearance (you may have seen them on the cover of their new album), and it features lots of pixelation of certain people/objects in the video (on purpose, don't freak).
So does it change how crappy the song is? No. Does it make the song a little more bearable? Maybe. Will we continue to sing it because it features that song from Dirty Dancing? Hell yeah.

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 late November.
The lead single from their new album was leaked online yesterday, titled The Time (Dirty Bit). Now you'll either love it or hate it, as it samples (I've Had) The Time Of My Life originally sung by BillMedley and Jennifer Warnes, take from the soundtrack to the movie Dirty Dancing.
Hmmm. Not quiet sure what to make of it myself. I love Fergie's vocals (as always), but it sounds a little too "hard" for me. Odd, as I was expecting something a little more "pop" from the Peas. Anywho, I wonder if my Aunt will dance around ironing to this version of the song like she did to the original in the late 80's...? Only time will tell...
