Come join the party!

Don’t you think that the remix of Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ made by Benny Benassi is far better than the original version? The original version is a reminiscent of her dance roots I guess, but ‘m glad that in the music video it’s gonna be the BB remix.  Have a listen and make up your mind. Then, you can let me know what’s your opinion and watch three new trailers of Madonna’s upcoming greatest hits compilation.

Best albums of 2009 – so far (part 1 of 3)

July is coming to an end, let’s have a look at good albums that this year has brought over last 7 months. I’ve found 15 interesting positions, so I will divide the post into three parts so you shouldn’t be overwhelmed.
I’m not rating them yet – all I’m gonna do is to present them in an alphabetic order, give you a hint what it’s all about and post a song, so you can easily decide what you should quickly get familiar with if you haven’t done it so far. Enjoy! /PART 1 of 3/

Canvas – again

If you were to lazy to click on a link in my previous post about Imogen’s music video for ‘Canvas’ directed by Tom Kelly, you can watch it below as it’s been added to Immi’s youtube channel. Remember, we’re talking about beauty here!

No more hesitation

I’m not too fond of Paul Oakenfold’s dub remix of Madonna’s upcoming single ‘Celebration’ but the remix made by Benny Benassi, which will be used in the music video, is going to be played in the clubs on repeat, I’m telling you. Check it for yourself below (sorry for the quality, but I haven’t found a better leak so far). I can’t wait to hear the album version!

Shakira goes disco?

Shakira's cheap new image

Well,  Shakira annoys me most of the time, but it didn’t stop me from checking out her single ‘She wolf’ from upcoming new album. Where the surprising part comes is the sound of the song – ’70s disco and funk inspired style. Can you imagine? No? Well, neither could I.

Lyrics are as silly as they can be, but in my opinion the song is a decent pop hit. Actually, it’s really good! I guess it’s the strong candidate for the mid-summer anthem. Shakira’s voice is far more smooth than usually, that’s why I’m not annoyed. But her new look? Vulgar in a cheap way – I wonder how will her true fans comment on it…

You can listen to the song below and see the preview of the music video for ‘She wolf’. If you want to listen to the Spanish version of the song – ‘Loba’ is the title in this case – just click here. I would say it sounds better, but on the other hand her voice is more annoying, so I’d rather stick to the English one.

Canvas

Immi

It’s been three days since ‘First train home’ was released and today Imogen Heap gives away another one! You can watch a music video for ‘Canvas’ here. What a beatiful song!

Temporary Pleasure

Simian Mobile Disco

Guys from Simian Mobile Disco are about to return with their second album Temporary Pleasure (to be released on 17th August). Amongst the others, there are guest appearances from Beth Ditto (Gossip), Jamie Lidell, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Chris Keating (Yeasayer) and Telepathe. This list makes me pretty much curious about the album.

Music video for the first single ‘Audacity of Huge’ featuring Chris Keating is realised within a really nice visual concept, have a look below (the only thing that makes me uncomfortable are honey drops – my imagination works and I already feel sticky, ugh!):

Get up, it’s time

Below, you can watch the updated version of the clip that is presented on Madonna’s  tour this summer. In my opinion, it’s far more powerful than the previous one.

First Train Home

I can’t wait for tomorrow when Imogen Heap’s ‘First Train Home’ will be released worlwide on iTunes. By then I am stuck on repeat on this clip:
