Taylor Swift released 'State of Grace,' the fifth single from 'Red.' Has it really been that many already?! In any case, the quality matches the quantity: 'State of Grace' may well be a perfect pop song.
Carly Rae Jepsen isn't a one tricky pony. She's a two-to-three trick pony, if her debut U.S. album, 'Kiss,' is indication, and if she strays too far from what she knows, it doesn't end that well. But when her regular two or three tricks are so good, you don't mind hearing them over and over again... at least not at first.
From rampaging Dinobots to ‘80s hackers and Latino rockers, we’re pointing you to all the new and awesome games, flicks, TV shows and albums coming out this week. Pay attention, son!
We’re feeling positive today, so we decided to chuck the bad stuff and focus on ten awesome things to check out this week in the world of entertainment and pop culture. We’re headed for a week full of good comedy, fun reality shows (yeah, really) and gratuitous shots of Kate Beckinsale’s breasts. Enjoy!
Nelly Furtado and her team leapt into damage control mode when ‘Big Hoops (Bigger the Better),’ the somewhat out of character first single from ‘The Spirit Indestructible,’ tanked. The release date was pushed back to September (from June) and now, the second single, which is the title track, has dropped.
If you are looking for the perfect cool down then check out Kelly Rowland‘s new tune called ‘Ice.’ The song reunites her with Lil Wayne who helped turn ‘Motivation’ into a chart-topping smash in 2011. Can lightening strike twice for K.Row?
It’s Check It or Chuck It, a weekly column in which we recommend five things to check out and five things to “chuck.” Highlights this week include some web-slinging superhero fun, Oliver Stone’s return to the criminal underworld and BBC America’s Summer Olympics spoof. And, as always, we recommend a few things to avoid in your weekly media diet, including a fairy tale-based Blu-ray release and a pair of slumping reality shows.
Pink is back and up to her old tricks with ‘Blow Me (One Last Kiss).’ The final version (a much more polished product than her leaked demo) hit the web today (July 2) and hits shelves tomorrow (July 3).
From the tongue-in-cheek title to the barn burning chorus, the tough-yet-vulnerable gal blasts another breakup track akin to ‘So What’ — but does she succeed?
‘All Around the World,’ a brand new song but not the next single from Justin Bieber‘s ‘Believe,’ has landed on iTunes. It features rapper Ludacris dropping rhymes mid-song, too. Overall, this is the clubbiest the Biebs has ever sounded, thanks to the processed vocals, the shout out he gives the DJ, and the heavily Auto-tuned choruses.
‘Die in Your Arms’ is the new Justin Bieber song and the second single from ‘Believe.’ With a title like that, you may expect a somber, melancholy ballad. But nothing could be further from the truth, as it’s a neo doo-wop jam!
