[THOM'S TOP TRACKS] May 2011

May - what a month! After lots of walks along the Bondi-Coogee cliffs, on the beach, in the park... Thom has finally delivered his top tracks for the month. And, if I do say so myself, what a selection of fine material.

[VIDEO PREMIERE] Kelly Rowland feat. Lil Wayne // Motivation

Seems as though I'm the last blogger to post about Kelly Rowland and her latest video premiere, Motivation, which features (annoying and unnecessary) Lil Wayne. Somewhat deliberate in my delay, it's driven by the fact that Miss Rowland perplexes me with her music - as you would have read in my recent rant whilst praising her on the brilliant collaboration with Alex Gaudino.

Motivation fails to provide the dance floor vibe that When Love Takes Over and Commander delivered, however it does see Rowland get her sex on in a big way. Whilst I'm not really a fan of the track, she clearly looks like a frickin' honey.

Anyway, I shouldn't complain. If record executives only listened to my choice of music and singles we'd have Kylie Minogue release Get Outta My Way as her lead single from Aphrodite, complete with a digital  single and video at the point of which it was released to radio. God forbid that happen, Kylie may even have had some success with that single release! The very thought of it!!!

Aargh. Enjoy Motivation, below.

[FRESH RELEASE] JENNIFER LOPEZ FEAT. LIL WAYNE "I'M INTO YOU"

Whilst Jennifer Lopez enjoys the success of On The Floor as it sits pretty at #1 in over ten countries worldwide, including Australia and the UK, we're treated with a new release - her latest single, the Taio Cruz penned track, I'm Into You. Featuring Lil Wayne (ugh), the track is the third official single to be released off the Love? album which is released globally in the coming weeks.

As you may have guessed from my "ugh" comment above, the inclusion of Lil Wayne is far from necessary if you ask me. And, unfortunately I'm Into You is nothing like the RedOne produced On The Floor either. On saying that however, it's still a good tune. Locally it was released to Australian radio this week - so expect to hear more of it soon.

The video is being filmed as we speak, but for now, enjoy the audio below.

Side note: whilst the official track list for Love? is yet to be released, some of the recorded tracks floating around the 'net are written/produced by the likes of Wynter Gordon, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Jean Baptiste, and Darkchild. OMG.

On The Floor and I'm Into You are both available digitally today [ITUNES]
