[FRESH RELEASE] Vanbot // Lost Without You

Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. And Like.

Not only did I just stumble upon the greatness than is Vanbot and provide you with her brilliant debut single, Make Me, Break Me; but now I provide you with the follow up to that single, Lost Without You.

Lost Without You invokes the same heart strings as Robyn's Dancing On My Own. Oh, bless. Pure pop sadness and love that makes you wanna dance and cry at the same time. Why do the Swede's get it right every time?

'Cause I never lose... I'm lost without you. Oh, bless.

Lost Without You by Vanbot

[VIDEO PREMIERE] Natalia Kills // Wonderland

I've been in two minds about posting about this girl. You see Natalia Kills has all the right elements to be a Lady Gaga wannabe (not that that's anything to be proud of) - and that's about it. From the shock-tactic lyrics to the personal styling to the video direction. Everything speaks Gaga rip-off. But you see, the more I listen to her latest offering, Wonderland, the more I'm intrigued by this 24 year-old from the UK.

Kills debut single, Mirrors, was released back in August 2010 to pleasant reviews by pop lovers online. After listening to the track personally I was a bit "meh", nothing special. But alas, fear not dear readers, for out comes Wonderland and I am slightly captivated.

I'm love the lyrics - I think it's the addition of the fairy tale characters, and the chorus - "I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe in you and me, take me to wonderland." Plus, the video is a great accompaniment with it's fantasy/war theme. Let's throw in the fact that it's likable, catchy and has the right elements to be a commercial success... and I think I'm sucked in.

What about you?

Wonderland is taken from Natalia Kills debut album Perfectionist.

Are you ready for new Beyoncé, Girl?

This year is really shaping up to be the year of great pop things in the world of music. We have loads of new talent mixed with the return and reign of some well-established superstars. Whilst we eagerly await the release of Lady Gaga's Judas single and the following Born This Way album, let's prepare ourselves for the high return of Beyonce.

Blogsites have been a flurry with information about the new Sasha Fierce release - so here's the latest buzz:

+ The lead single from Bey's fifth studio album is reportedly titled Girl, with the video currently being shot in LA with over 200 African dancers flown in for the shoot

+ The video will be directed by Francis Lawrence, responsible for Britney's I'm A Slave 4 U and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

+ Girl will see Ms Knowles get her grind on in a club-bangin' hit sampling Major Lazer's Pon Da Floor

Whilst you take a valium to calm yourself down and prepare yourself for Ms Knowles smashin' return; feast yourself on her Move Your Body release - a revamped Get Me Bodied to support Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign to reduce obestity is children across America.

[FRESH RELEASE] KYLIE MINOGUE "PUT YOUR HANDS UP (IF YOU FEEL LOVE [BIMBO JONES REMIX]"

What is she doing to me!?!? I don't know if Kylie Minogue is just teasing, or whether she is set on releasing the Nervo penned and Starsmith produced track Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love). Help!

Remixes have been circulating for a couple of weeks, starting with the Pete Hammond remix that is reminiscent of Ms Minogue's Stock Aitken Waterman days; through to the new Bimbo Jones mix I've just recently got my hands on. Rumours are circulating wildy that a digital release is on the horizon for what should have been the follow up to Get Outta My Way (rather than the crappy Better Than Today - sorry Nerina Pallot, I know you wrote the track but it is clearly not a good choice for a single release).

I'm not sure how much truth there is to additional remixes or an actual single release, but I'll be sure to publish details as I get them! For now, take a listen to the Bimbo Jones mix below...

CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY HEAD - SKY FERREIRA'S "99 TEARS"

I gave you a preview of Sky Ferreira's As If! EP back in early March, and since then not only have I fallen in love with the lead single, Sex Rules, but of late I just can't seem to get another track outta my head. That track is 99 Tears, also featured on the EP.

Listening to the retro synth-pop number I get flashbacks of bad Paula Abdul choreography, frizzed hair, and bright coloured three-quarter jeans. HAWT. I also feel like I'm dancing away in my Ma's lounge room watching Video Hits as a 10 year-old. Sigh.

Sky - you're awesome girl. Love your stuff. Watch the lyric video for 99 Tears below.

LISTEN TO RIHANNA'S "S&M" REMIX FEAT. BRITNEY SPEARS

Rumours have been circulating the 'net since last year about the apparent collaboration between two of pop's biggest superstars - Rihanna and Britney Spears. This week those rumours were confirmed with the starlets teasing their fans with corresponding tweets...

And so, sure enough, we're treated to a remix of Rihanna's smash hit S&M featuring none other than Ms Spears herself. Take a listen below!

KELLY CLARKSON PERFORMS HITS ON ELLEN

American Idol legend Kelly Clarkson took to the stage for Ellen at Universal Studios, Colorado last week. The Grammy award winning star sung Miss Independant, Walk Away and Since U Been Gone. And, let me tell you, she rocked that stage.

Clarkson has been busy working on her fifth studio album, due to be released worldwide in September. Whilst the album will be wrapped up in the coming weeks, Clarkson's record company are "holding back" the album as they don't want any other artist "competing" with her when it's released. By other artist I'm assuming they mean the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga - both of which that will have new material released in the coming months.

Regardless of when the Idol superstar provides us with the anticipated release, we'll adore it anyway. For now, check out the Ellen performance below and be reminded who the original Idol is.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED... VANBOT?

Oh - you know I love my new music, especially when said new music is as good as this. I'm talking about a track called Make Me, Break Me by Ester Ideskog, otherwise known as Vanbot.

Vanbot, yet another talented artist from the land of the Swedes, sounds a lot like a cross between Robyn and La Roux - the vocals of our other Swedish princess complimented with the pop-synth sound of Elly Jackson's group. Essentially, nothing short of a pure pop sensation.

On launching her debut single, in a recent interview with Pop in Stereo Vanbot cites some of her musical influences as Goldfrapp, Royksopp, Empire Of The Sun, The Chemical Brothers, Robyn, and Crystal Castles - clearly no surprises there.

Make Me, Break Me is taken from Vanbot's debut album which will be released globally in mid-April. Check out the audio below, and stay tuned for informaition on this new bundle of joy as I get it!

Welcome, Vanbot.

LISTEN TO NEW WYNTER GORDON WITH "TIL DEATH (DENZAL PARK MIX)"

Ya-hoo! The official follow up to the 3x platinum Australian #1 Dirty Talk is here. Til Death, Wynter Gordon's latest single, will be released to the market in coming days.

The track originally surfaced last year, however it's now had a makeover by the boys from Denzal Park (the same legends who produced Freefallin' for Zoë Badwi). Denzal Park are no strangers to the scene here with massive club hits Filter Freak, Drum Machine and the 2008 remix of Ce Ce Peniston's Finally.

Miss Gordon has had a pretty amazing run here in Australia if you think about it. Dirty Talk was an unexpected but welcomed hit. She's appeared in a variety of past and up-coming music festivals such as Stereosonic and Creamfields. Wynter was a feature act at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. And of course, the build up to the release of Til Death has been anticipated by fans nation wide.

The official release for the track is 15 April. Additionally, stay tuned for more video clip details as I get them. Can't wait Wynter, great work!
