Vicci Voices Up About Her New Vid

We’ve been fans of Vicci Martinez‘s single “Come Along” since it premiered last year…wait, let’s back up. We’ve been fans of Vicci Martinez since her stint on Season 1 of The Voice. And the fact that she covered Swede sensation Titiyo‘s “Come Along” just makes her all the more rad in our eyes. Vicci finally got around to shooting a video for the song, a duet with Cee Lo Green (who, if you recall, mentored her on The Voice). The full clip officially premiered today, and we’ve also got a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of Vicci on the set.

“I’m just gonna keep playing music and I’m gonna keep what I can to help and heal people and inspire them,” Vicci says during her video shoot. “That’s what it’s all about for me.”

Behind The Bey

In her quest to become the only relevant artist in music right now (and she’s killing it), Beyonce dropped a Pepsi commercial, including audio from a new single titled “Grown Woman” yesterday — and now, she’s taking us behind the scenes of that Pepsi spot. See — it’s all about Pepsi! (And Beyonce, but mostly, it’s about Pepsi. The only time it’s not about Beyonce is when it’s about Pepsi.)

Pepsi: The refreshing cola that you guzzle while taking a break from your rigorous choreography, taut abdomen flexing as you suck down that sweet, sugary goodness. Nutrition! It’s magic, isn’t it? More »

Bridgit Mendler’s “Hurricane” Video Teaser: Idolator Premiere

Good Luck Charlie star Bridgit Mendler has become quite the pop sensation since we last chatted with her about her debut LP Hello My Name Is… and her love of Frank Ocean,  particularly in the UK, where “Ready Or Not” is lodged in the Top 10 for a fourth straight week. And clearly Bridge is up on the notion that it’s best to strike while the iron is hot — and while the fourth season of her hit Disney series is just around the corner — because it’s time for a new single and music video.

Idolator is premiering a teaser of the vid for Mendler’s rap-and-pop-infused “Hurricane.” It’s a sunny track that, like “Ready Or Not,” was produced by Emanuel Kiriakou and Andrew Goldstein. Watch the 20-year-old whip her hair, frolic in front of a plain white wall and serve up some John Lennon realness in a sleeveless tee in the sneak peek above. More »

Little Mix’s “How Ya Doin’?” Featuring Missy Elliott: Watch The Colorful Video

April 4th, 2013 // Leave a Comment
How You Doin'?

Girl group Little Mix, winners of the UK version of The X Factor in 2011, are poised to make a splash in the US when their album is released stateside this summer. Their first single, “Wings” (off their debut album DNA) is continuing to pick up American traction — and today, the girls released the video for their second single, “How Ya Doin’?” featuring Missy Elliott.

The song itself is about avoiding the unwanted phone calls of an ex-admirer (we can all relate to that, right?), but the girls don’t seem too bothered by the persistence of this ex as they get ready for a night out in this technicolor video. Seriously, everything from their clothes to the walls to Perrie Edwards’ bright pink hair is nearly blinding — in the best way possible.  More »

Hanson’s “Get The Girl Back” Video: Watch Kat Dennings & Nikki Reed Play Hard To Get

The year of Hanson is upon us! After announcing plans for ninth album, Anthem, and a supporting world tour this summer, the three brothers have premiered the music video for lead single, “Get the Girl Back.” Starring the lovely young actresses Kat Dennings and Nikki Reed, the clip uses Hanson’s performance at a dive bar (they’re peculiarly overdressed!) as a backdrop for a couple love (or one-night-stand) stories. Drake Bell (we’re told) bumbles his way around Kat, with patrons and employees singing along to goad him into getting her back.

The song itself is as playful as the video, a hooky throwback melding ’60s girl group harmonies and brassy soul. Also? These dudes are apparently as ageless as the track’s influences. Check it out up top. More »

Rihanna’s ’777 Tour’ Documentary: Watch The Teaser

Rihanna 777 Documentary Teaser
Unapologetically RiRi

Hey, remember when Rihanna held a group of journalists hostage on a plane for a week traveling the world and it turned out to be a complete fiasco? Of course! It was unforgettable. #UNFORGETTABLE and #UNALOPOGETIC. (Idolator had an editor on the plane, so feel free to refresh your memory with his sort-of grueling, Peabody-worthy coverage.)

The entire tour was shot for a documentary (titled, unpedantically, 777 Tour), and now the first official teaser for that upcoming doc, which will premiere on FOX on Monday, May 6, has been tossed online. There’s not much to see — mostly just shots of a plane and Rihanna’s face — but it’s probably more than enough to pique the interest of Rihanna stans eager to learn more about what it’s like to travel with their captain, and it’s definitely enough to retraumatize the journalists who are only just now beginning to sort through their PTSD.  More »

Live A Little (Or A Lot)

Remember Florrie? Of course you do — she’s the impossibly gorgeous house drummer for acclaimed English production team Xenomania who’s been quietly releasing brilliant electropop for the last few years, mostly free downloads without label support. (Check her Popping Up for more on that.)

But now she’s heading out with an even bigger sound and a mighty impressive video for her new track “Live A Little,” a jazzy, drum-heavy track with a soaring chorus and vocals that pack unexpected power. More »

Charli XCX has dropped another playful video, this time for her True Romance single “What I Like.” The British singer told Noisey the “cute bedroom jam” is her fantasy “about living by the beach with someone and just falling in love,” and the video aimed for that version of relaxed fun.

The clip was directed by her roommate Ryan Andrews, who has done her prior videos and mastered the VHSxGIF vibe in the process. It was shot in a rented hotel room, and co-stars her two friends, a dog (sorry, cat, you had your one shot) and the most delivery-looking delivery pizza ever. Check it out up top. More »

NEW BEY!

A rattling tribal beat and a stunning shot of Beyonce flicking her wrist? Why yes, that is all the sustenance we needed today.

After instructing all of us to “Bow Down,” Beyonce has dropped a teaser video for her new single, or new video, or new announcement, or new album, or new tour (who really knows, at this point? Let’s assume it’s a single, though), which is coming tomorrow, April 4, at 9AM ET. All it says is “#BeyHereNow.” So you know what? We will. More »

Cassie Drops “Numb” Video With Rick Ross, Announces ‘RockaByeBaby’ Mixtape

Cassie Numb Video
She's Goin' Numb

Ah, Cassie — the queen of icy, low-emoting dance-pop&B. The chanteuse has just dropped “Numb,” the first video from her upcoming mixtape RockaByeBaby, and it’s — well, typical Cassie: Sleek and minimalist and a little bit diffuse and overall pretty effective. Helmed by Alex Nazari and featuring a prominent guest spot from a cigar-puffing Rick Ross, it’s classic Cassie hipster decadence.

But wait! There’s more where that came from. Her upcoming mixtape, RockaByeBaby (which drops April 11) now has a full tracklist, and it’s loaded with features: Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T, French Montana, Jeremih, Fabolous, Meek Millz, Too Short and Ester Dean. Who else could release such a star-studded mixtape but Cassie, R&B’s ice queen? Surely no one. Check the full track list after the jump, and watch the “Numb” video up top.  More »
