PREPARE YOURSELF FOR ELTON JOHN VERSUS PNAU WITH "GOOD MORNING TO THE NIGHT"

Australian dance outfit Pnau have teamed up with singing/songwriting legend Sir Elton John for their latest project, Elton Versus Pnau. The project will see the duo remix selected tracks from John's back catalogue, mixing his vocals with the group's signature house beats.

The end result - brilliance.

Our first taste of the project is "Good Morning To The Night," sampling "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters" which is lifted from John's 1972 album "Honky Château." Take a listen to the final version of the track below.

You can keep track on the progress of the project via the groups Facebook or Twitter accounts. A full studio album is expected later this year.

[VIDEO PREMIERE] Lady Gaga // Yoü and I

Mother Monster aka Lady Gaga has premiered the video for the fourth single lifted from her Born This Way album, the power rock ballad Yoü and I.

The track, which Gaga originally showcased at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball in June 2010, was due to have the video premiere this coming Thursday following an interview with MTV; but in true Gaga fashion she's done what she likes and delivered it early. No complaints from my point of view, because the video is brilliant.

Featuring her alter-egos Jo Calderone (the bloke who has a eerie resemblance to Bob Dylan) and Yuyi (the mermaid she debuted at her recent Sydney Monster Hall gig), Gaga doesn't let her fans down. After most criticised her video for the previous single The Edge of Glory, the video for Yoü and I clearly makes up for it and more.

This is Lady Gaga's best video clip since Telephone. Hands down.

Before you watch the clip, let's get this out of the way (because it's overly distracting)... the hot bloke that you can't keep you eyes off is American actor Taylor Kinney, last seen playing Mason Lockwood in the CW TV series The Vampire Diaries.

Brilliant points to note:
+ Choreography to a power ballad in a barn and a corn field. Brilliant. Period.
+ Yuyi and Kinney making out. Mermaid sex just got hotter.
+ Calderone and Gaga making out. Self love (ahem) just got very 2011.

Well done Gaga, you shown 'em whatcha made of.

Yoü and I and Born This Way are available digitally today [iTunes]

LISTEN TO NEW ELLIE GOULDING WITH "YOUR SONG"

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. Oh, bless.

The track is the lead single from the re-release of Ellie's debut album, titled Bright Lights (out now - buy it!)

In case you're wondering who-the-hell this beautiful starlet is, read my post a few weeks ago, where I've also posted the video for my (now second) favourite track of the album, Guns and Horses.
