Listen to Toni Braxton's new track 'Woman' (video)

So the Toni Braxton comeback train continues to sputter up the mountain muttering 'I think I can, I think I can.'  We personally hope that it can and in fact DOES, because we're totally digging Toni's new track, called 'Woman.'  It's what the kids are calling a 'slow jam' but we choose to imagine the single package containing some balls-out club mixes and promotion including a live performance with a wig and dancers and a retrospective video intro with clips from 'Breathe Again' and 'He Wasn't Man Enough.' 



We all can dream can't we :(

Toni's new album 'Pulse' will be out in February, and here's hoping it all goes to plan for her - the famously bankrupt warbler could certainly use a break

Lets all listen to the new Leona Lewis album sampler (clips)

So everyone is expecting the Leona Lewis album to be quite good.  The only question seems to be where on the 'amazing scale' the project will end up.  As we've already discussed in a post that we're too busy to find and link to, the cover photo starts things off in fine fashion.  Lead single 'Happy' kept the momentum, and now we can sample all the tracks and begin to compose what people have started calling an 'informed opinion.' 



'Echo' is out Nov 16/17 depending on your country's release date, on Syco/J Records/Sony

It's Scopitone Saturday!!

This week's Scopitone is very good for several reasons.  Reasons like:  in it people go bowling, and in it people go bowling in smoking jackets.

Yes.  Very good indeed. 

Menya want to give you an album for free (free download link)

Here are some reasons we love Menya:
1.  They are from New York City
2.  They make music
3.  The music they make is very very good
4.  They are all quite attractive
5.  We want to marry Good Goose a little bit
6.  They are giving away their new album for FREE if you go HERE

There are quite a few other reasons but we'd rather listen to the album than list them out for you because we are selfish.  

 In case you've forgotten how LITERALLY AMAZING this band is:

Alesha Dixon's got 'The Light' in new song from Alesha Show - The Encore...listen now!

We don't know about you, dear readers, but we're getting quite excited about this Alesha Dixon re-boot coming in November.  The Gary Barlow ballad is obviously stellar, and now this Xenomania collaboration is adding more fuel to the fire.  We get the whole 'lets show off her voice with power-pop to give her credibility' thing and we're totally on board with that.  Just make sure we get some 'Boy Does Nothing' corkers, alright Alesha? 



The Alesha Show - The Encore, with new songs, will be released Nov 23.  It makes a perfect stocking stuffer.  Just sayin'. 

Adam Lambert's 'Time For Miracles' video - watch now

Ok so contest show winners never release a phenomenal debut single unless they're named Leona Lewis, but really, Glambert?  Really?  It's all power-ballad-for-middle-America and as such is pretty crap.  Having said that, we love the video of things blowing up.  We're working on how to digitally remove Lambert from the footage and just have a nice little disaster clip but his odd orange color makes it difficult.  So we'll just have to wait and watch '2012' when it comes out. 


Time For Miracles

Adam Lambert | MySpace Video

American Idol runner-up Adam's debut album is out Nov. 23 on RCA, and had better include some stompers.

Marina and the Diamonds go down 'Mowgli's Road' in new video - watch now

Scopisat fave Marina and the Diamonds has a new video out, and it will do virtually nothing to quash the 'she's a rather strange girl' rumblings among the pop community.  Luckily it is also very good.  It's not our choice of single, but these things rarely go our way do they...


Bonus points for the middle eight, giving the whole project a very passable 8/10. The band's major label debut single is out Nov 16 on 679 Records in the UK.

Listen to the new Rihanna single NOW NOW NOW

Unfortunately they don't let people like us have advance copies of 'highly anticipated' tracks such as this, so you'll have to go here to listen.  Lets discuss:

It is amazing but we were hoping for something a bit more 'SOS.' 

The end.
