New Music: "We Remain" and "Elastic Heart" from the Catching Fire Soundtrack!

If you haven't heard, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's soundtrack is boasting some big names. Today we have the cuts from Christina Aguilera and Sia feat. The Weeknd and Diplo!




Obviously, I was super exciting hearing Legendtina was going to be on this album. My fellow Ecuadorian sister brings on the emotions in this ballad. "We Remain" really showcases the Christina vocals we all know and love. The chorus is absolutely beautiful. "Whatever happens here/Whatever happens here/ WE REMAIIIIIN!" SIMPLE, BUT EFFECTIVE. Perfect for the feel of this movie.





And then there is Sia's "Elastic Heart". Totally different from "We Remain". It's a total jam (of course, its a Sia song.. It's this crazy sound of weird noises and this amazing beat. Ugh so good. Sia and The Weeknd's vocals are just spot on for this. Loving.

New Music: Katy Perry's "Walking On Air"!




Katy Perry has released the third promo single from her upcoming album, Prism! It's called "Walking On Air"! The song has a very 90's pop feel. It's nothing ground breaking since artists like Bright Lights Bright Lights has been doing this for a while now. This is my least favorite, but I don't hate it! Probably because its so different from the others. It's missing the quirkiness of "Dark Horse" and the invigorating feel of "Roar". But it's got that good dancing at a bar feeling going for it. I don't know about all these various genres happening.

Prism is shaping up to being a cacophony of sounds...

New Music and Video: Charli XCX's "SuperLove"!



Charli XCX has just released a new single entitled "SuperLove"! The single is missing the dark pop feel, but has a super fun disco-pop dance beat. I. AM. OBSESSED. The chorus is super catchy and that beat. Ugh. Dancing the night away.

The video is so cute and fun to match. It looks as though Charli is running around Japan in some psychedelic colored venues and having too much fun with some gal pals and...robots?? TOO TURNT. I'm so glad she is releasing new music and can't wait to see her in November.

New Music: Justin Timberlake's "TKO"!



Justin Timberlake has a new single! It will be the second one of his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 and is called "TKO". The production sounds SUPER Timbaland-y and reminiscent of FS/LS.  Am I fan of it? Not really. It's okay and basically sounds like what you would expect it to. The whole 7 minute length is still a little off putting to me.

New Song: Britney Spears' "Work Bitch"!



As I sit here watching a football game, the Holy Spearit decided to intervene my bro time and come out with the radio premiere of her new single "WORK BITCH"! If you weren't up at 7 AM (aka me) it leaked. So what's a pop queen to do? Obviously move up the premiere of her single 24 hours early. And it'll be on iTunes tonight. (Doesn't this sound like a POP EMERGENCY??? I'm just saying: Queens thinks alike.) BLESS.

At first, I wasn't about this single too much. I called it going to be "Scream and Shout"-esque since its produced by them same people behind that. But this song turns out to be a dance smash! And even an empowering anthem of 2013. You want a hawt bowdy? A Boo-gah-ti? Sippin MAHTINIS? YOU BETTER WORK BITCH. Britney isn't playing around. You know you'll put this on your gym playlist or stomp around running errands to it. Into this.

New Music: Zedd feat. Hayley Williams "Stay The Night"!



Hot off his smash "Clarity", Zedd is re-releasing his album, also titled Clarity, September 24th! The next single is called "Stay The Night" and features the vocals of Hayley from Paramore! The song is undeniably a smash. Hayley's vocals sound amazing and the beats behind it..ugh. The man does no wrong. This also makes me excited to see what Zedd is doing for ARTPOP. Make sure to pick up the re-release if you didn't pick up the original!

New Video: Iggy Azalea's "Change Your Life"!


Iggy Azalea debuted her video for "Change Your Life"! The video looked like a big production and it looks great. Iggy goes from showgirl to con in the clip and looks absolutely stunning doing it (I mean, #FASHIONTITS or whatever she wanted to trend). I think this song could be a big one. I am all about it. Not gonna lie, the video makes me want to roll around a bed with a baby tiger too. Hella pressed. Somebody needs to change my life ASAP.

New Video: Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" + BANGERZ Track List!


Yesterday, Miley released the video for her AMAZING single "Wrecking Ball"! The video was shot by Terry Richardson and is gorgeous. I mean, apart from the licking of the sledgehammer. That I could have done without, but the rest was perfection. Miley literally bared all on in this video whilst swinging from a wrecking ball. I need to get me one and do this in the near future. I love seeing this strong yet vulnerable Miley.

New Song: Coldpay's "Atlas"!



A new Coldplay song entitled "Atlas" was released today! "Atlas" will be featured on the next Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire, due out in November. Having read all the books and being obsessed, this has the Catching Fire feel. It's haunting. Chilling. Is perfect for the dramatic stares in the previews. Too good.

New Video: Katy Perry's "Roar"!



Katy Perry released the video for her current #1 Billboard single "Roar"! I mean she dethroned "Blurred Lines" y'all. Anyways, congrats to her, but let's get to the video. Katy is survives a plane crash and she basically goes from distressed plane crashee to queen of the jungle. The video is a little bit ridiculous, but I think its somewhat charming and she looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Still not a fan of the song and really not looking forward to Prism, but maybe she'll prove me wrong when it comes out???? Time will tell if this is truly a "Dark Horse".

Oh btw, she released the album cover for Prism. Yeah, I don't know about these flowers either. It's indie chic though? Reminds me of Nelly Furtado's Whoah, Nelly album art.

New Music: Celine Dion's "Loved Me Back To Life"!




OMG YOU GUYS I CAN'T I'M DONE I CAN'T GO ON. BETWEEN THIS AND ARTPOP, I'M DONE DONE DONE.

Celine Dion has released the first track of her album Loved Me Back To Life due out November 5th. This song is the title track and was written none other than: QUEEN SIA FURLER. Like a Sia production, you get the dark and emotionally haunting feel. You guys, this is sooo good. That chorus. You'll be screaming it for hours. I adore this and can't wait to see what is next.

New Music/Video: You Me At Six's "Lived A Lie"!




You Me At Six has debuted their new single entitled "Lived A Lie"! It's been a while since their last album, Sinners Never Sleep, and I'm glad they're back with new stuff. Honestly, this single sounds a little more up tempo than their usual stuff, but I'm LOVING it. Cannot wait to see these guys next month.

New Music/Video: Lady Gaga's #SWINEFEST!



YO, IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, LADY GAGA PERFORMED AT THE ITUNES FESTIVAL AKA SWINEFEST AND IT WAS AMAZING.

Gaga opens with "Aura" and debuts new songs "MANiCURE", "ARTPOP" "Jewels and Drugs" (feat. T.I., Too Short, and Twista), "Sex Dreams", Swine", "I Wanna Be With You", and closed with "Applause". OHH THIS HAD ME TOO TURNT! They were all AMAZING (except I'm still not too keen on "J&D")!! "Swine" is my absolute favorite with "Sex Dreams" and "MANiCURE" right after. It was just a raw and powerful performance. November needs to be here. I'm so happy!!
