Shakira, Lil' Wayne and Timbaland ask you to 'Give It Up To Me' - listen to the new single now

Ryan Seacrest debuted Shakira's new single from her forthcoming album a few minutes ago, and of course it's already found its way onto the interwebs.  It's significantly less Shakira-weird than 'She Wolf' and substantially more Timbaland-by-the-numbers.  A bit of a disappointment, but you can't blame her for trying to catch the lightning in a bottle success that was 'Hips Don't Lie' again.   A resounding 'meh' but we're still excited about the album.  We think.


Out soon on Epic in the US and RCA in the UK

Lolene does 'Sexy People' with her disco vagina (video)

We shall call it "vagisco."


Sexy People - Official Video

LOLENE | MySpace Music Videos

So there's another Lady Gaga knockoff then.  Which is a bit surprising, considering Lolene is the songwriter behind a load of Backstreet Boys tunes and works with all the "big producers" of today.  Maybe the rest of her album will be a little more progressive, but for now color us unconvinced. 

"Sexy People" is currently unreleased but sits in the top 40 of the dance chart.  The album and first official single will be out later this year on Capitol/EMI.

Brand New Kylie: 'Better Than Today' (video)

 So ScopiSat can't say enough about how great Kylie's NYC show was, but one of the highlights was deffo this track from her upcoming album.  By the time the second note plays you can tell it was penned by the Scissor Sisters, but there are worse things in the world we suppose.  K-Mo's been working with quite a few artists known for their solid songwriting skills (rather than the slew of hot producers she tapped for 'X')  so this album is looking up.  What do you guys think? 

Leighton Meester's debut tune is not terrible (video)

Here is Ms. Meester (not a great moniker is it) and Robin Thicke speak-singing a Blondie rip-off and it is actually amazing.  Color us surprised.  



"Somebody To Love" is out to radio now and will be available digitally later this month on Universal Republic

Calvin Harris has a 'Flashback' (video)

Because the 90's ended too soon.

Will Young's 'Hopes and Fears' are amazing (video)

Ever wanted to watch Will Young get knocked up?  Well here's your chance.  And you can hear a very very good song at the same time.  After his artistically triumphant and commercially abysmal last album, 'Hopes and Fears' is a return to form for Young. 



Out Nov 9, with a greatest hits collection on the 16th

Pink says 'I Don't Believe You' - watch the video now

With the 5th single milked from her 'Funhouse' album, Pink picked a great one we have to say.  It's one of the better and beautifully understated performances from her, and to prove it here is a dodgy camcorder rip of the video: 



Out Nov 2 in the UK

Listen to the new and very not terrible Cheryl Cole album (clips)

Please note that '3 Words' is PROPERLY INCREDIBLE while 'Rain On Me' sounds like a Pussycat Dolls castoff.  That kind of sums up the whole thing... But luckily half literally amazing and half meh comes out to a final tally of AMAZING.  



Out Oct 26 on Fascination
