Brandy And Monica Team Up For New Single “It All Belongs To Me”
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
After fighting over a man in their hit single "The Boy Is Mine" fourteen years ago, Brandy and Monica have matured and called a truce. Their new collaboration, the snappy R&B tune "It All Belongs To Me", is a sequel of sorts to their 1998 song, with both singers agreeing that their man "must be blind, you must be dumb, you must be trippin', you must be crazy to know that I would let you off that easy." Nice to see these two ladies finally getting along! More »
Amber Rose Tries Our Patience With New Single “Loaded”
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
We don't know where to even begin with Amber Rose's new single, "Loaded," but something this monstrous deserves to be recognized. Cribbing LMFAO's beats (as well as 20 Fingers), Wiz Khalifa's sweetie sing-talks about the girth of her bank account: "No, like seriously, I'm really loaded." Clearly this line will rival those of John Lennon's "Imagine" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" as some of the most truthful and memorable song lyrics in music history. If you hate Adele, are proudly part of the 1%, and can't wait for Paris Hilton's new album, this one's for you. More »

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Apparently the Super Bowl wasn't the only time we'll be seeing (and hearing) Madonna pair up with cheeseball dance-pop duo LMFAO. The Material Girl's upcoming album MDNA will contain a remix of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featuring the "Sexy And I Know It" hit-makers as a bonus track. Start shufflin' down below to give the reworked track — which still features Nicki Minaj's rap, though the one by bird-flipper M.I.A. is axed — a spin!

Melanie Amaro Turns Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” Into A Club Jam
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Becky Bain
With most of the recent news surrounding The X Factor having to do with the pink slip parade unleashed upon half its on-air talent, we almost forgot about the woman who actually won the competition, Melanie Amaro. The singer, who is signed to judge LA Reid's Epic Records, has a new single out, "Respect", which samples Aretha Franklin's classic song with an additional dancefloor beat and an overdose of synths. Listen to it below. More »

We've heard enough of "Give Me All Your Luvin'", Madonna's lead MDNA single that she'll perform live for the first time at the Super Bowl, to know we already like it. (Hand claps! Yeah!)

Tue Jan 31 2012 by Robbie Daw
Kid Cudi first gave fans a taste of his and Dot Da Genius' WZRD single "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" two weeks ago, during a Heatwave Festival gig in Middleton, Australia.
