Bananarama are back and want you to know that Love Comes

Here is Bananarama's new video for the new album's lead single 'Love Comes.' It is a quite listenable electro song that both suffers and benefits from the fact that it sounds like it is a Rachel Stevens cast-off from five years ago. The video is all 'cougars in the Vogue prop closet' and works quite well, but one can't help feeling like this 'comeback' isn't going to be much different for them than last time. ScopiSat is all about these ladies, but another top-20 also ran is probably in the cards. Sad. :(




Out Sept 6 on Fascination Records

Nelly Furtado sings things in Spanish and previews her new album

Here is a short video that showcases each of the tracks on Nelly Furtado's upcoming album. You may notice that the words to the songs are not in English. The words are, in fact, in Spanish. This does not detract from the fact that the songs are quite good, and some native Spanish speakers may feel the language choice actually enhances them. We will leave it to you to decide.



The album, 'Mi Plan,' is out Sept 15 on Universal

Basement Jaxx's Feelings are Gone

'Feelings Gone' is the new single from Basement Jaxx, and it features one-time 'next big thing' Sam Sparro. They have made a video for the single. Here it is. And that's all we're going to say about that.



The album, 'Scars' is out on Sept 9 on XL Recordings/Ultra Records

Passion Pit have put out a nice song called 'To Kingdom Come'

Ok so it's hardly world-shattering and fits nicely in the 'great to listen to for now but will end up buried in my iTunes never to be heard again' category, but in truth 'To Kingdom Come' is quite a good little ditty. The bonus points for the steampunk-tinged video bring it up to a solid score. Passion Pit consist of a number of people with difficult-to-pronounce names and hail from Cambridge, Massachusetts and if you want to know more you can go to their Wikipedia page just like we did.

Out now on French Kiss Records in the US and Columbia in the UK

Madonna has a Celebration all over Jesus in her new video

Here, finally, is Madge-mantis' video for 'Celebration' and it is delightfully dancing-Oakenfold-free while being crotch-touching-heavy. There is making out, there is nudity, there are designer clothes. In short it is everything a Madonna video should be. The plot is something like 'Madonna is dancing because music is a CELEBRATION and then she is making out with Jesus because making out is a CELEBRATION and people are wearing stylish things because fashion is a CELEBRATION and then the video ends and the celebration is over.'

Well done.




Yes. Well done indeed.

Whitney goes a little less crack and a little more meth and poppers

Whitney's official comeback single gets the remix treatment, and I think we all know that the result is amazing. Even as the song languishes on the charts, at least it will be blasting out of the speakers at all the gays' rooftop parties this Labor Day...



The single is out now...not that anyone noticed

Booty Luv want to Say It

The always fun and funky Booty Luv are back with their new single 'Say It,' out today. The video is all 'girlband go on holiday' while the song itself is a club-pop stomper complete with an 'emotional hand-flourish' middle eight followed by a banging, hands-in-the-air chorus. Par for the course then, eh girls? At least they've managed to get a video budget this time.



Out today on Hed Kandi Records, with some lovely mixes to boot

Menya get Loose

After last week's brilliant covers, Menya gives us an original jam. It's a sexed-up party track in the vein of Imani Coppola (happy) but as of now there's no 'real' video (sad).



Menya's new (and free) mixtape is out October 2nd
