Cassie’s Video for “King of Hearts” is Perfect, Remains Free of All Flaws
Yesterday, Cassie premiered her long, long, long awaited new single, “King of Hearts.” I like it. I like it a lot. Actually, it’s one of my favorite songs of 2012 thus far. Now, the video for the song has arrived, which is more or less a 3 1/2-minute eyegasm of vintage Versace, wind machines, fire, [...]

Nicki Minaj’s New Single “Starships” is Both Amazing and Derivative
-
Artist:
Nicki Minaj has a new song out. It’s called “Starships” and it’s, well…amazing. And entirely derivative. (It’s a theme this week, apparently.) In fact, the RedOne-produced “Starships” (which was co-produced and penned by Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub and Wayne Hector) is almost impressively derivative, “borrowing” from nearly every Top 10 radio hit of 2011 (including [...]

Katy Perry’s New (Old) Single “Part Of Me” Is Both Amazing and Derivative
-
Artist:
Katy Perry has a new (old) song out. It’s called “Part of Me” and it’s, well…amazing. My displeasure with Katy Perry is a storied affair, but I’ve always maintained that for any pop star, it’s “all about the music” in the end. (Except, of course, in the case of Chris Brown, in which it’s “all [...]

Thank You, Whitney
-
Artist:
Earlier this evening, the Associated Press confirmed that Whitney Houston died at age 48. Whitney’s death is no more or less tragic than that of any one person’s struggle with addiction, but the fact that she was and forever will be a musical icon made her own inner demons as universally known as her music.

Win A Signed Copy of Tinashe’s ‘In Case We Die’! (Giveaway)
Earlier this week, I wrote about rising pop songstress Tinashe‘s debut mixtape In Case We Die, a seriously amazing deep dive into spooked-out R&B production, swaggering hip-hop beats and haunting coos (which, for the record, you can still get entirely for free.) But you know I always like to provide that something a lil’ extra [...]

And the verdict? It’s one of my favorite songs of 2012 already. Easily. From the opening drippy [...]

Morgan Page Releases Album Version, Remixes of “Body Work (featuring Tegan and Sara)”
“Body Work,” Morgan Page‘s sensational new club anthem recorded alongside Canadian alt-pop crooners Tegan & Sara, has been a steady favorite on my iPod ever since the Club Mix of the song first premiered back in December. Seriously…obsessed. And judging by the newest versions that just cropped up this week, it’s unlikely that the song [...]

12 Amazing Moments During Madonna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
-
Artist:
Last night, Madonna performed at Super Bowl XLVI. It was, according to my calculations, quite literally everything. There was an almighty entrance, flips on top of bleachers, head straddling, a weird acrobatic Grecian (or something), pom poms, a marching band, millions of dancers, insane floor projections, glamorous Givenchy costumes, Cee-Lo Green, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A-even [...]
