BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO: WE FOUND LOVE.

 

“It’s like screaming and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone can be that important, that without them you feel like nothing.  No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you and when it’s over and its gone you almost wish that you can have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good.”

That’s what Rihanna’s brand new video for ‘We Found Love’ starts off with. A video that many fans are already buzzing about. At first I had to disagree, I didn’t think this guy looked anything like Chris Brown. But the more I watch it, the more I can’t deny the uncanny resemblance of her love interest to that of her infamous ex-boyfriend. Although I don’t believe the video is all about him, you can’t ignore the fact that the entire relationship greatly impacted Rihanna & this video most liked was inspired by that.

The entire video is so magnetic. Whether you’ve been in a situation as dramatic & self-destructive as the one portrayed in her new Requiem For A Dream-ish video or not, I think many people can relate. Love is a drug & this one definitely wins my vote for best video of the year. Rihanna & genius director Melina Matsoukas did an amazing job at delivering this intense love story. Check it out below!

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: MARIA ZOUROUDIS.

It’s not every day I find a YouTube cover artist that I absolutely adore, so when I do find one I like to make a really big deal about them –mostly cause I think they deserve all the support they can get. This week’s pick is a Sarasota native who just so happens to be a Gator like me & now lives in Miami.

The Greek-American songstress not only creatively turns her version of popular songs into something that tends to sound better than the original, but she also writes her own music, and writes songs for other artists as well.

If you’re in the Miami area, you may be lucky enough to catch her performing live. Go on the link below to find out when & where she will be playing around town.

But before you do that, check out some of my favorite covers by Maria below & tell me what you think!

You can watch more of her videos & listen to some of her original work on her website www.mariazouroudis.com

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: THE NAKED & FAMOUS.

Once again, I have my lovely satellite radio to thank for the discovery of this awesome band. The Naked & Famous are an indie rock band from New Zealand who sound a little MGMT-ish (which is a huge compliment) with a twist.

Their first studio album Passive Me, Aggressive You debuted almost a year ago & it is awesome! It’s one of those albums you can just listen to the whole way thru without skipping any songs.

If you’re into Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, or Degrassi you maybe have heard a few of their songs which have been featured on a couple of episodes. Check out my faves below!

LADY GAGA VIDEO PREMIERE.

 

It wouldn’t be a Lady Gaga music video unless it was a short film, includes Gaga as multiple personalities wearing outfits that make you think “WTF?”, and in the end leaves you more confused than the movie Inception

With that being said, just when you thought it wasn’t possible to be any more confused by Gaga, here’s her latest video for ‘You & I’, a song that I’ve actually been waiting for a long time for & happens to be one of my favorites by her.

Gaga told her little monsters that the video would be her 1,000th tweet & she kept her word. She posted the video about an hour ago with this message,“You must love all + every part of me, as must I, for this complex + incomprehensible force to be true.” 

It’s already received over 13,000 likes but only 300 views. Hmmm, something tells me everyone is A.D.D. & couldn’t sit through the entire 6 minutes & 12 seconds of this shit.

I don’t blame them. Neither could I.

What’s the verdict? Dou you love it? Hate it? Think it’s artistic? Or just fucking weird?

Bow Down To Beyonce.

I’ve never been the one to jump on the Sasha Fierce bandwagon but Beyonce’s ballads always seem to hit a weak spot. There’s no denying her talent & her lyrics are always relatable –yes, even that dreadful ‘Put A Ring On It’. Her new album 4 is full of classics including her latest single ‘Best Thing I Never Had’.

This song is definitely one to relate to. So females (& males too), join in and sing loudly in your cars, showers, bedrooms, kitchens, even in your cubicles and let those scumbags know how great it feels to have dodged a bullet ;)

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: DREW TABOR.

A few months ago I discovered Danny Vola on YouTube (& if you haven’t heard of him yet you MUST CLICK THIS RIGHT NOW because he’s amazing & is really getting a lot of exposure now). But this post isn’t about Danny, it’s about a girl who might as well be the female version of him.

Drew Tabor is an aspiring musician living in LA, & her version of Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Bass’ is out of this world. She completely transforms the song into her own & nails it. I’m not a huge fan of ‘Super Bass’ but I absolutely love love love Drew’s cover. Check it out below!

My wish come true would be for Danny Vola & Drew Tabor to perform together. Make it happen guys & spread the word about these two!!

For more Drew covers & original music, check out her YouTube channel:

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: DEV.

I only have one word to describe Dev, & it’s BADASS.

The 21-year-old California native was discovered by The Cataracs 3 years ago when someone uploaded a cover of an Amy Winehouse song she did as a “diss track” for her ex-boyfriend on MySpace.

Her song ‘Booty Bounce’ was used in The Cataracs’ Billboard Hot 100 song ‘Like A G6′ and the rest is history. After that, Dev signed with Universal Republic at the end of last year & is now trying to be known for more than just the female voice behind The Far East Movement’s über popular song.

Currently she’s on tour with Usher & The Cataracs but I say she’ll be touring on her own in no time!

Check out some of my favorite Dev songs below!

& she’s a blogger too! Check out her blog http://devishot.com/

Gaga Needs A Power Balance Bracelet.

I’ve been known to make fun of Lady Gaga & her “fashion” choices in the past but it was all in good reason. I actually care about Gaga’s safety people! For a while now, a standard Gaga outfit consists of sky-high platform heels with no heels! This alone screams danger.

Well lately, Lady Gaga has been spotted falling & fumbling all over the place & in my personal opinion, it’s not cute. No one is going to be impressed by how high & fierce your heels are if you can’t even walk in them lady! Perhaps Gaga should stick to flats for a while or maybe a power balance bracelet? I don’t know anymore, but the falling needs to end. However, if she fell flat on her ass while I was attending a show, I think that would be just epic. LOL

Check out the most recent video of Lady Gaga falling on stage below!

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: KARMIN.

YouTube covers as you know, are one of my favorites, but I couldn’t believe what this cute couple based out of Boston was capable of until I watched the video for myself! It might just be the whitest version of ‘Look At Me Now’, but watch Amy & Nick, better known as Karmin do their own rendition of Chris Brown’s latest single–& yes, Busta Rhymes’ crazy fast verse is included!

They have their own channel on YouTube which includes a bunch of other covers & even some originals. Check out their ‘Look At Me Now’ below & tell me what you think!

Also, check out their website http://www.karminmusic.com/ for more songs & videos!
