Once a part of trio Mis-teeq, along with Alesha Dixon, Sabrina Washington is finally ready to strike out on her own. The group broke up back in 05, and since then there have been various rumblings about Ms. Washington's solo career.
Like now-successful-solo-artist-bandmate Alesha, Sabrina was on a reality show - 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' - and her label decided it was time to unleash 'OMG' on the world. It's a pretty unoffensive R&B tune, and sounds more like what Mis-teeq would be doing today than anything Alesha has done.
They almost drove Simon to tears on X-Factor, as maybe the first actually quite bad act to make it through to the latter end of the show. They created what is known as the 'Jedward Paradox.' (no really, it's on Wikipedia so it must be real) Apparently, everyone loves to hate them, but they have a healthy slew of straight up lovers as well, including the Prime Minister of Ireland, Leona Lewis, and Calvin Harris.
By the time they were booted off the show, there were debates all over the UK, supporters and condemners, and the assurance that they'd be back, somehow, in some form. Their sheer willpower and eagerness won them a legion of fans, and also, apparently, a record deal.
Now witness: Jedward, the twins who nearly brought down a tv/music empire, with 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby).'
On a side note, Vanilla is looking pretty good no?
Diana Vickers, the former X-Factor contestant, is gearing up to be one of the better successes from the show, if her debut single is any indication. It's a pretty brilliant track that manages to be a little bit 80's, a little bit futuristic, a little bit now, and a lot amazing.
There are only a few albums we here at ScopiSat sit on the edge of our seat for, but Miss Vickers' just clawed her way into the fray.
The single is out April 19th in the UK, and will hopefully see the light of day in the US
Ok so the fad of re-doing Rihanna's 'Umbrella' in a variety of different genres has certainly peaked and plummeted into the bowels of Youtube mediocrity, but when we stumbled across this there was something absolutely enrapturing about it. The 'it' in question is a video by a group of three young men called The Baseballs, and despite the impression the video gives, they did not live in the early 1960's. No, they are, in fact, alive today, and still making music. Other people's music, yes, but music just the same. In any case, it's amazing and demands to be watched.
Florence is a machine, chucking out tracks off the album 'Lungs' (see what we did there...), and for the sixth single we get 'Hurricane Drunk.'
We'd say something about how unnecessary a sixth single is, but clearly the label is doing something right. Just a couple weeks ago, 'Lungs' hit number 1 on the album chart after a bazillion weeks in release. In any case, here's another ginger dancing around in strange outfits:
So another track has leaked from Kelis' upcoming dance album. If you recall, we posted 'Acapella,' an absolutely brilliant club track that made us super duper excited about the whole project.
Now there's this, and while the quality isn't the best, the whole sound of the project is shaping up to be pretty damn great, don't you think?
