[VIDEO PREMIERE] Medina // Gutter

It seems like it was only yesterday that I was blogging my love for Danish hottie Medina's latest track, Addiction (well, yeah, it was four weeks ago...). Before I can even begin to get sick of that number, BANG, out comes Medina with her latest single, Gutter.

Gone are the days of brunette-ville, the clip features Medina in a gorgeous blonde do. She lays on a bed, dances in a garden, and climbs up walls (?) in another great pop-cum-club-cum-pop track that'll have you dancing around your bedroom. Gutter reminds me a lot of Robyn's Dancing On My Own, the same heart-broken number that makes you want to cry and dance the disco all at the same time. Love it. Enjoy.

Adele's rolling with Number Four

Over the weekend I Am Number Four opened at Australian cinemas. For those of you that love a bit of sci-fi and fantasy action (think Harry Potter) - this is the movie for you. I Am Number Four is based on the (proposed) six-book series by Pittacus Lore.

The movie stars newcomer Alex Pettyfer, hottie Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies), Glee actress Dianna Agron (who plays Quinn) and Aussie Teresa Palmer (The Sorcerer's Apprentice). Brilliant cast.

Anywho - without getting into too much detail about the book or the movie (this is a music blog remember), apart from the fact that I LOVED THE MOVIE, it featured none other than the beautiful Adele with Rolling in the Deep. A bit of a weird one I had thought (as I'd already seen the track featured on the trailer before seeing the film), but fitting when you see the scene in which the track features.

After seeing the movie and having it remind me a) how much I adore fantasy films and b) how much I adore Adele; I realised I hadn't posted the video for Rolling in the Deep yet. Shame!

So - you get two for the price of one. Adele's film clip for Rolling in the Deep, and the trailer for I Am Number Four. Seriously, aren't I the best?

Go and see the movie - you'll love it. And if you haven't purchased 21, Adele's latest album, buy it now.

[FRESH RELEASE] The Sound of Arrows // Nova

The Sound of Arrows are Swedish duo Oskar Gullstrand and Stefan Storm, and you may know of them via an amazing remix they did of Lady Gaga's Alejandro back in 2010.

For those of you who haven't heard of the boys from Sweden - mix a bit of Pet Shop Boys, with a little Hurts and add a dash of The Similou's All This Love [YOUTUBE]. Nova is the follow up track to the boys 2009 single, Into the Clouds. It's a fresh, male-pop-fantasy... something there is clearly not enough of if you ask me.

Very excited about these boys! I don't know much about them yet, but I can't wait to hear more. 2011 may just be another year of some beautiful, beautiful music.

[TOP FIVE KILLERS] February 2011

The Top Five Killers will be tracks that I recommend you get your hands on each and every month. They will have inspired me to dance, laugh, cry or simply want to scream with glee. At one stage throughout the given month I would have been at a moment where I couldn't live without that song. Yep, let's just say they would be my best of the best.

And so, we kick off with February's Top Five Killers. In addition however, because this is a new topic I'll look to complete each month, I feel sorry for January so I'm giving you a double-dose -- January and February. Enjoy.

LISTEN TO NEW IAN CAREY WITH "LAST NIGHT" FEAT. BOBBY ANTHONY & SNOOP DOGG

US DJ Ian Carey is back ready to hit us with a hot new tune, collaborating with none other than hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg and Bobby Anthony. Last Night is Carey's latest track ready to hit charts and clubs globally.

The last time Carey made a splash in Australia was in 2008 under the name of The Ian Carey Project with the hit track Get Shaky. The track, which reached #2 on the ARIA Singles Chart, achieved a 2x platinum status (>140,000 copies sold).

Last Night has a good chance being another big hit for Carey. Of late we've seen a number of great dance tracks feature across the airwaves and make it (commercially that is). Think Hello (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette) and Take Over Control (Afrojack feat. Eva Simons)... and of course you have the whole David Guetta influence in the charts. Last Night provides another potential cross-over as it adds a pop element and a likeable sound.

Enjoy!

[VIDEO PREMIERE] KANYE WEST "ALL OF THE LIGHTS" FEAT. RIHANNA

My favourite track off the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album, All of the Lights is Kanye West's forth single (behind Power, Runaway and Monster). The track, which features Rihanna (looking freakin' hot in the clip, as always), also features additional vocals from John Legend, The-Dream, Elly Jackson (of La Roux), Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi and Elton John. Quite a line up.

The track has hit top 30 status in Australia, according to the ARIA Singles Chart, and is also starting to make waves on the US Billboard and UK charts.

Directed by Hype Williams (who also directed Jessica Mauboy's Get 'Em Girls and Saturday Night - why were they so bad???), the clip is good. A little sore on the eyes with all the "flashing", but it's a good clip.

Anywho. Enjoy!

[VIDEO PREMIERE] Britney Spears // Hold It Against Me

After what seems to be a year-long tease of snippets/extracts/portions of Britney Spears video for Hold It Against Me, it is finally released!

The video, directed by Jonas Akerlund (who directed Lady Gaga's Paparazzi and Telephone videos), certainly lives up to his reputation. It's a full on video - and personally - I think it's one of her best clips to date. All I can say is...

WOW

I'M IMPRESSED

Well done Britney, great video.

You'll need to visit The Hype Now for the video, as it seems everywhere else on the 'net seems to have it blocked if you're in Australia, so I can't embed it [LINK]

Edit: see the vid below now!

Enjoy!
