Leona Lewis covers Nine Inch Nails’  Hurt

One word.  Beautiful.

She also covers Goo Goo Dolls Iris & Counting Crow’s Colorblind.  Anxiously awaiting her next album to drop!

2011 is nearly over… and Emeli Sande is just getting started.  Coming in early 2012, the incredibly talented songwriter (Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole) & singer will release her first studio album, Our Version of Events.  Though born Adele Emeli Sande, the Scottish singer stage name is ‘Emeli’ due to the high success of UK singer Adele.  She felt that Adele had ‘taken the name’ and didn’t want to compete with that.  Her second single, Daddy, comes after her recent #1 UK Chart Topping success with Read All About It.  Expect more from this rising artist next year!

Obsession of the week: Emeli Sande´ - new singer from the UK.  She’s a true combination of the soul of Jill Scott, the smoothness of Leona Lewis (who she is writing songs for her next album) and the rawness & honesty of Adele.  Truly talented.  I’ve got Heaven (available on iTunes) & Easier In Bed (demo) on repeat currently, but her song Maybe is a true testament of her beautiful vocals and intense soul and transparency.  It’s rumored that Easier In Bed was written for Christina Aguilera’s next album, most likely to drop sometime in 2012.  Emeli’s first studio album, Our Version of Events, is anticipated to be released sometime in November of this year.

Leona Lewis looks beautiful in her newest single, Collide.  Absolutely obsessing over this song right now - so great to run to!  Great motivation for a Monday.

Introducing & Download: Alex Gardner


About to start touring with Pixie Lott in November, Alex Gardner just released his second single a few days ago.  This cute, Scottish pop singer is no stranger for supporting well known acts on their tours.  He’s already spent a fair amount of time supporting his idol Paolo Nutini, bleeding heart Leona Lewis, played on the same bill as Mika and is finishing touring with Scouting For Girls.  With looks like that of a younger Elvis, the lyrical skills similar to George Michael, fuzed with electro-pop, Alex may be the answer to our need for a new male pop star.  This 18 year old may be just the answer to our musical prayers.




Click here for a free acoustic version of There Goes My Heart.  His debut album is slated for an unknown 2010 release date.

Red One samples Iko Iko - seriously?

Red One, you should be ashamed of yourself.  Did you give all your originality creativity to Lady Gaga? And the only thing left for this disaster with Alexandra Burke is a Belle Stars rip off?  Actually, it’s worse than a Belle Stars rip off - it’s like a nursery rhyme, dipped in porn.  Sorry Ms. Burke, Leona Lewis success on X Factor has far outdone yours.  Good luck with the re-release.  See the comparisons below.

By far, our FAVORITE single on Leona’s latest album, “Echo.” “I Got You” is so catchy - thank you Max Martin!
