While the first few seconds of Rita Ora’s collaboration with Chris Brown sounds like Rafiki’s bellowing from the Lion King, and she may be more annoying tangled earphones, that bish knows how to lay down a tune, (or she knows how to pick a good one from songwriters). There I said it. It’s a bit more commercial than I’d like, but it’s hard to find a catchy R&B love song these days. So, yeah, I like it, OK? *Holds gun to head*
So, JoJo (YES, JoJo!) is playing y’all like you been waiting for a bus… Nothing for ages, and then three singles at once! That’s some brave-ass move for a bitch that ain’t Beyonce. Still though, at least this way there’s more of a chance of getting a hit. Well, more so than releasing them separately if her last three singles are anything to go by.
Calvin Harris is really doing things to us lately – aurally (unfortunately, not orally) and visually. His debut track with Disciples, ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ is (almost) as satisfying as his underwear ads for Calvin Klein. If eardrums could engorge with arousal, we’d be walking round like some inbred Teletubby. And though she may be a skinny white country girl, we’d sell our nan down the Thames to be T. Swift right now.
Lady Gaga (uhuh, she’s still alive) has revealed she’s working on a new album – LG5. And it’s NOT with a mummified jazz singer. ‘Bout damn time. Bring back the raw meat ‘fashion’ and killer edgy pop.
Ginuwine’s iconic ‘Pony’ has been given a remix by Tough Love, no thanks to the return of Channing Tatum’s pelvis this summer. No. Just, no. Clueless 90s kids will probably suck it up like a bottle of WKD, but sometimes you just shouldn’t fuck with the original.
