The video for WARM IN THE SHADOWS is nothing less than amazing - I love the visual direction and style of shooting, it reminds me of the 90s era in movies, kind of like Ghost with Patrick Swayze. [ god I cant believe I am admitting to watching it! FYI i loved it] The video is kind of tricky. You feel like its a live performance for a moment than you kind of see a story starting to develop. (I g...

RIHANNA's 'big black-shades' covered face channels a bit of Aaliyah (and a bit Faith Evans) in the new video for the 'eh' comeback track WAIT YOUR TURN. I much prefer Russian Roulette - overall i'm still not feeling Rated R from as much as i've heard of it. Back to the video. The cinematography is first class. A gritty black and white affair with some hot artistic scenes shot in a church that r...

RCRD LBL always has great free music to download and this morning they've delivered a dreamy Saint Etienne remix of HIGHER THAN THE STARS by THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART. I have a great Etienne post coming up - a super favorite of mine for that electronic sound that only they can produce. The 'Pains are slowly finding their way into my daily mix as well, check out their self-titled album Th...

I'm so excited by this viral approach ROISIN MURPHY is taking the release of her new material, there is nothing I like better than seeing an artist talk unscripted directly to us fans! In this cute little video shot in Roisin's house, with her dog Charlie seated on her lap, she talks about her how pregnancy has affected her, DJing and of course the new music! We learn that Orally Fixated is a p...

I'm kicking myself for not picking up MUSE's new album The Resistance sooner. Not only did they return with a slick 80's tinged first single Uprising (featuring a White Wedding sample thrown so perfectly in just to make sure you are paying attention) now we have the sexy rock ballad UNDISCLOSED DESIRES with a video premiere and Stuart Price remix to knock it up a notch. It's a radio rip so it ...

LADY GAGA takes the backseat while Eric Cartman drives the best cover of POKER FACE to surface yet - from last weeks' episode of South Park. Check out the video below - I was laughing my ass off when I saw it and I had to make the wonderful collage you see above. - MattMP3 DOWNLOADPoker Face (South Park Version)

I just checked out AlwayzFunkyFresh and saw that ALICIA KEYS just gave an incredible performance of her beautiful next single TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART for Pepsi Music. Alicia really knows how to deliver a ballad so that you really feel it! I really hope the track gets an amazing video to go with it, the one for the equally fabulous first single DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING was pretty but lac...

After only hearing two tracks from CASXIO which I instantly loved (SEVENTEEN and BOILING POINT as featured on the Seventeen EP) I was eager to hear more from them at the High Rise PR CMJ showcase.Casxio frontman Lucas Guerin had spoken to us earlier in the day about the material that would be on their first full length release, he was looking forward to seeing the reaction to it, and lets just...

I think it's time I showed Cheryl some love on Hard Candy! I've long been obsessed with GIRLS ALOUD who always put out a kick ass pop album, so I was excited to hear CHERYL COLE's solo effort. On first listen I was not that taken with the single FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE, thought I can't get enough of it now! To be honest I was expecting the high impact of GIRLS ALOUD material, which this didn't hav...

Hard hitting industrial masher King Cannibal has been pretty busy. He's just been signed to the magnificent Ninja Tune imprint, remixed the Prodigy (listen here) and now we have his yet to be released (until today) take on FRANKMUSIK's bubbly ode to not being able to say 'i love you' - 3 LITTLE WORDS. Listen closely - it strays just far enough from the original and there are many hidden FX wov...

It was an eclectic night at the High Rise PR CMJ showcase last Friday night! At 8.30 VIA TANIA started the night with a great little largely acoustic set, which had everyone intrigued. I really love Tania's voice it's so mellow and emotive, which at times slips into Bjork territory. I'd have love to have been seated sipping some wine listening to them perform instead of standing crammed into a ...

Time for a bumper RIHANNA post! So many leaks in this last week I can't keep up! My favorite of the recently leaked tracks is BUBBLE POP, which samples GOOD LIFE by the INNER CITY (please don't tell me you are too young to remember that tune!) Of course this one is not on the album, but rumored to be from the GOOD GIRL GONE BAD sessions, go figure!. I'm also loving RUSSIAN ROULETTE but none of...

Ahh we've been teased for so long, first with her amazingly pregnant performance at the Viktor + Rolf fashion show, then a too cute teaser video. Now the day has finally come, the stream of ROISIN MURPHY's new single ORALLY FIXATED is premiering via Facebook. The sexier than hell artwork premiered moments ago via Pitchfork. Can you handle the artwork? Fantastic! Listen to the song below, it's ...

When I was 19, I was browsing through Virgin Records (who to you recently inducted New Yorkers is nothing but a myth) I saw on the large screen BRITNEY dance to Toxic. As much as I am not a staple pop fan that video brought my attention to the prettiest girl in Mississippi. It's not so much her 'ingenuity' that gets me at all - I think its more her not giving up and doing her thing. The press l...

One of the best bands I saw at CMJ last week was FOOL'S GOLD, it's a crime I have not posted about these guys before, as I enjoyed the odd track here and there, but seeing them live at the IAMSOUND showcase at the Bowery Poetry Club got me REALLY excited about them.They are not the typical indie band you find at CMJ, these guys have some serious Latin flavor! My favorite tracks were Surprise Ho...

The rehearsal video of MADONNA & LADY GAGA's SNL skit has emerged at its great! The timing is on here so the first part makes sense, M is actually singing! I had to giggle at the couch part where Gaga actually gets a grab of Madonna's hair, I don't think she got her paws on it a second time! - Camille

My friend Mel is always playing me the fantastically talented J-Pop artist SHE and i've decided it's time for a feature both her's and my favorite track, the laid back yet danceable MOONLIGHT (love the first breakdown at 1:15) on Hard Candy. If you can imagine the happy go lucky electronic bounce of Kylie Minogue with a darker more ethereal twist you will be excited to hear these fresh new t...

Wow guys this is a must listen! I can see ASTRA MOVEO tearing through 2010 with a vengance - they've got strong pop hooks with a electronic rock. If you love Muse or The Killers you'll love these guys no doubt.The teaser videos for the new material (first one, second one) project a world of astral fantasy mixed with old movies and world strife. Mother Teresa even makes an appearance! We've got...

FAN DEATH is back...well REUNITED is more like it. I've found myself constantly humming this new track since I first heard it. The video is an all out celebrity fest with some 'just in time for Halloween' cameos from Marilyn Manson, Axel Rose, Prince - to name a few. New EP A Coin For The Well is out soon. Full length please! - MattMP3 DOWNLOADReunited**free when you subscribe to their mailing...

One of our most obsessed about favorites ROISIN MURPHY has announced that a new single will be streamed next Monday at 12pm EST on Facebook and Myspace - and you can hear bits of the new material (which all sounds like a funkier progression from Overpowered) behind her. What a tease! Happy Halloween indeed! Love the 'em' at the beginning...Go Ro! FYI - the single is not Demon Lover! - Matt
