It sounds like we should keep our eyes peeled for Watch The Throne 2. To be sure, Jay-Z and Kanye West both have plenty to do once they’ve wrapped up their tour behind their first joint LP. (Jay-Z has music to write for a film adaptation of Annie, starring Willow Smith; Kanye has a Kardashian to date). But the two appear serious about a sequel, according to West associate Mike Dean. In an interview with Quiet Lunch, Dean rattled off the projects occupying his own time, and called out Watch The Throne 2, saying “it’s coming.” Watch below. More »

Ingrid Michaelson is one with her fellow music artists, both past and present, in her new video for “Blood Brothers”, off her album Human Again. In the time-lapse video, we see the singer-songwriter — with the magic of a team of make-up artists — turn into Madonna (circa her Marilyn Monroe era), David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, Lady Gaga during her hairbow phase, KISS‘s Gene SimmonsBeyonce, John Lennon and, most impressively, Amy Winehouse.

Fans of electronic music, get ready for some news that will literally make you short-circuit: Daft Punk have gone into the studio with Giorgio Moroder. If you’re asking yourself who Giorgio Moroder is, first thing’s first — slap yourself. Hard. Second, wise up to the fact that the Italian producer revolutionized modern dance music in 1977 with “I Feel Love” (and these other Donna Summer hits), and kept the floors and charts filled with smashes like Blondie’s “Call Me”, Irene Cara’s “Flashdance…What a Feeling”, Phil Oakey’s “Together In Electric Dreams” and Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away”.

Alas, it doesn’t seem like the Grammy/Oscar winner was enlisted to write or produce for Daft Punk. Rather, he’s contributed a rap of sorts. What? More »

Drake and Chris Brown have yet to team up on anything besides their respective (alleged) Rihanna disses, which makes this recently surfaced collaboration between the two of them noteworthy. The two artists teamed up way back in the day on “Yamaha Mama”, their take on Soulja Boy and Sean Kingston‘s collab of the same name off 2008′s iSouljaBoyTellem. We’re not exactly sure when this was recorded, why it was shelved, or why they decided to rework this harmless love song, but some things were never meant to be known.

“My sister, not only does she work hard on tour, but she likes to play hard on tour,” says Katy Perry‘s older sister Angela Hudson in a brand new sneak peek from the pop star’s upcoming big-screen movie Katy Perry: Part Of Me 3-D. And she’s right — in the minute-long preview, we see the “Wide Awake” artist and her sis (who works for the singer) take in some sun and some fun at a water park to relax during Perry’s lengthy 2011 California Dreams tour.

Chris Brown slows it down for his video for Fortune single “Sweet Love”, and makes things real sexy — well, that is, if you’re idea of sexy is watching him climb under the sheets with a hologram and walk down a wet street lined with scantily-clad women who begin floating in the air, Exorcist-style, when he walks past them.

Later, at the end of the clip, Breezy and his crew of bro dancers get all interpretive by grinding their hips and gyrating in front of their lady conquests. We’re not sure if we should be turned on or utterly creeped out by this vid. Think we’re leaning toward the latter.

No Doubt will drop their first album in over a decade on September 25, but we’ll be getting a taste of the group’s new tunes much sooner than that. The SoCal band will perform at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, their first live performance since 2009.

“You may have heard the rumors… and yes, we will be performing on the Teen Choice Awards in July!” the band wrote on their Twitter page. The 2012 Teen Choice Awards air July 22 at 8 p.m. EST on Fox. The Gwen Stefani-led group were previously nominated for three Teen Choice Awards, and won “Choice Music: Tour” for their 2004 Singles Tour.

Songs on No Doubt’s as-yet-untitled album include “Push And Shove”, which the band previewed during their premiere webisode chronicling the making of their sixth studio album.

Watch Lana Del Rey’s Keds Ad From 2009

It seems long before Lana Del Rey was serving as a handbag muse, the Born To Die artist was designing her own line of shoes. Thank goodness this 2009 Keds Collection ad starts, “I’m Lana Del Rey, and I’m a singer”, because the lips, the hair, and the beach girl-vibe much more resembles singer’s former self, Lizzy Grant.

Watch the Gangsta Nancy Sinatra as she skips along a boardwalk, eats cotton candy, and shows off her bling on her perfectly manicured nails while riding Coney Island’s famed Wonder Wheel — all while quoting Francis Ford Coppola. And wake us when LDR comes out with a clothing line inspired by the all white dresses she wears during her televised performances.

Will.i.am Skype Chats With Clubgoers And Eva Simons In His “This Is Love” Video

Will.i.am brings his act to Londontown in his video for “This Is Love”, the Steven Angello-produced single off his forthcoming solo album, #willpower. The Black Eyed Pea starts things off slowly, playing a will.i.am-branded piano in front of the city’s Tower Bridge. Eventually, clubgoers pop up via will’s laptop (do they have Skype in nightclubs now?) and Dutch singer-songwriter Eva Simons, rocking the most intense, gravity-defying mohawk we’ve ever seen, provides some fierceness on the hook.

Though the video starts off promising with an interesting outdoor locale, Will.i.am’s low-key piano-playing, the random, confusing club scenes and the giant distraction that is Eva’s hair never really gels together. “This Is Love” comes off like a bunch of separate concepts were thrown into one video. And maybe we’re just a little bit more cautious with our personal computers, but we really wouldn’t recommend leaving a laptop out in the rain like that. Then again, this is will.i.am — we’re sure he can afford to get a new will.i.am-branded PC.
