Pixie Lott's new video is quite good - watch the 'Turn It Up' premiere now!

ScopiSat has a volatile relationship with Pixie Lott.  On the surface we should totally love her, with her pop sensibility and blond perkiness.  Her first run of singles really hasn't impressed us though, so we kind of forgot she existed.  That all changes with 'Turn It Up,' the fifth (!!) single from her album of the same name.  It's a cute Natasha Bedingfield-esque slice of pop and although it's not going to change the world it's a nice summer jam.

With four top 20 UK singles under her belt already, Miss Lott is turning into one consistent pop star, and if she keeps making songs like this we say bring it on.



The single is out June 7

Kid Sister talks about 'Life On TV' in her new track - listen now!

Kid Sister made a couple splashes already, first with 'Right Hand Hi' and 'Pro Nails' and then with...well, nothing.  That was kind of it.  But still, she's proven herself to be a little bit awesome, and continues that trend with 'Life On TV', her new single from the album 'Ultraviolet.'  It's a fun slice of 80's tinged summer pop, but credible and 'hard' enough that your friends won't make fun of you for listening to it.  Quite simply, it's a good version of Ke$ha if she took a bath.



It's UK iTunes' free track of the week, so head on over and get yourself a free copy! 

Wilson Phillips are TOTES COMING BACK and we have the proof

Wilson Phillips were amazing.  I know it, you know it, and they know it.  Which is probably why they have made the very wise decision to stage an EPIC COMEBACK and trounce the pithy excuses for girl groups that flash their panties around the clubs these days.  People Magazine reports today that one third of the group, Chynna Phillips, who entered anxiety treatment after her SISTER REVEALED THAT SHE HAD A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR FATHER, is back and ready to make some music with weight-loss spokeslady Carnie Wilson, and Wendy Wilson who as far as we know has never really done anything at all. 

Not only is there a tour involved, but a new album, which will be a CHRISTMAS ALBUM because they are always VERY GOOD in that way that Christmas albums are always TERRIBLE. 

In case you need reminding why, exactly, this is a red letter day for pop, here is one reason:



And another reason:



Both of these songs were NUMBER ONE and feature Carnie in SLIMMING POWERSUITS. 

"Amazing."

Girlicious are a 'Maniac' in new video - watch the new girlband now!

Girlicious are a trio of lingerie models who get autotuned over some beats and a melody to make music.  Usually that's right up our alley, but they come off as a little generic to be honest. In this clip for new single 'Maniac,' the girls all march around and sing and dance and tick all the boxes, but something about it just never really lands on all fours.  Plus, doesn't the one who sings the first verse look like she's FOCUSING REALLY HARD ON NOT FOCUSING ON ANYTHING? 



Girlicious are the latest GENIUS IDEA from the creator of the Pussycat Dolls, thrown together on some CW reality show no one watched, and the single is out sometime soon.  Because we know you're dying to get your hands on it.

Can we just talk about Madonna's 'Interview' cover shoot? Watch the video now!

Rejoice, cougars of the world, for we now live in a time where we can all age in reverse and miraculously appear EXACTLY THE SAME as we did in 1991.  Don't believe us?  Witness the new cover and photo shoot for Madonna-mantis' 'Interview' spread below...

Interestingly, we're also apparently still co-opting Catholic imagery and using it in "sexy ways" as a kind of "fuck you" to the church because they totally don't have any problems or detractors or molestation issues already.

 Anyway, here's Madge and her Golem-arms fellating a crucifix in her Depends.  JUST LIKE IN 1991 except YOUNGER and with the distinct odor of Aspirin and pee.  Our guess is that, in her advanced years, Mantis has literally forgotten that any of this happened before, and one night awoke in her cryo-chamber believing wholeheartedly that the hazy memories in her dementia-riddled mind were actually the seeds of a BRILLIANTLY GROUNDBREAKING IDEA.

The Scissor Sisters are BACK and BETTER THAN EVER with 'Fire With Fire' - watch them perform the new single now!

The music world has been abuzz for a few weeks now about the new Scissor Sisters stuff, and to be honest we here at ScopiSat were a little hesitant.  We always kind of appreciated SS's quirky, campy brand of rock, but never really connected with any of their tracks.  It's always been something of an embarrassment, really, because while "the blogs" and "the gays" all went on and on at length about the genius of the Sisters, we would cower in a corner, cradling our Girls Aloud records and wondering where exactly our upbringing went wrong. 

But hark!  That's all about to change, it seems, as 'Fire With Fire' finds the band exploring a straightforward, glitzed up pop-a-thon that we can TOTES get on board with.  Check out the band performing the new single at NYC's Bowery Ballroom:



It sounds like poppers and shame-sex on a dancefloor, and is therefore AMAZING. 
The single's out June 20.

Listen to an ACTUALLY BRAND NEW LADY GAGA SONG - hear the radio rip now!

Lady Gaga has been milking the hell out of her first album(s) for....a while now.  Sure it's all been brilliant, but still.  In the end, though, she was bound to have to go into the studio again at some point, and it looks like all the Little Monsters the world over have something to be very excited about.  A new track has surfaced, and it is (thankfully) a world away from the RedOne sound that launched her career and has defined pop ever since.  We don't know about you guys, but we are definitely on board with this jam. Straightforward dance with a killer tune, this is the stuff great pop is made of.

Excuse the excessive and super annoying radio tags...if you listen through them you'll hear a really brilliant song.



No word on a release date for any new stuff, but we'll let you know as soon as anything surfaces.

Miley Cyrus 'Can't Be Tamed' but she can sound like everyone else - listen to the new single now

Miley Cyrus, pictured here greeting Sarah Jessica Parker backstage, is back and BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER, or so her people would have you believe.  In reality she's just back and a little mediocre.  'Can't Be Tamed' is the brand new single from Miley's upcoming album and while certainly not terrible, it's nothing we haven't heard before.  It could have been a Britney or Christina track from three years ago, or a Rachel Stevens cast-off.  Gone are the guitar-driven tween jams and angsty "he totally said he'd call but he totally didn't because he heard I gave J'Syn a handy-J at the Sonic Burger" attitude, and in its place is an electro swing sound that keeps getting made but has yet to really result in a hit (save for Britney's '3,' but let's be honest here, the threesomes sold that baby not the music) Still, the girl has a certain something that makes the track a little more than just the sum of its parts.  Take a listen and let us know what you think:



"Passable"
