Peachy creamy loss

I really like glamorous music videos, arty music videos, alternative music videos, weird music videos, music videos with a concept, music videos with a story, and sometimes amateur music videos happen to be quite good too.

Peaches‘ music video for ‘Lose you’ (directed by herself!) combines all of these categories somehow, thus, it’s a really good music video.

More highly intelectual, eloquent and professional reviews of music videos coming soon.

PS. The song rocks too, like the whole I Feel Cream album on which she worked with Simian Mobile Disco, Gonzales and Soulwax – actually, that’s why it’s so good.

PS2. Here’s a music video for a new single from the album. Not as good as the previous one, but not a bad one. Song is super cool, though. Reminds me of Madonna’s ‘Get Together’.

Whatcha say?

So guys, whatcha say about this barbarian sampling of Imogen’s marterpiece ‘Hide and Seek’ in a poor song by Jason Derulo? It’s so average I wouldn’t pay any attention to it if there was no Imogen in it… However, American consumers are not too fussy and the song is doing really good – it’s on #2 on Billboard list.

Immi herself doesn’t bother that much as she said that the song lives its own life and she just lets it be. Fair enough. One of Imogen’s recent tweets: “@jasonderulo we really should meet/chat/say hello one of these days! Our tune is getting places! x“

Judge for yourself:

Ish Value

There are artists that over the years lose distinction between shaping their original sound and being repetitive, like Röyksopp, and there are artists that copy their own ideas shamelessly all over again and get away with that, like Timbaland.

Timbo is gonna release Shock Value 2 in a month and the lead single was just released. ‘Morning After Dark’ features Timaland himself and some oh-so-boring new artist SoShy from Timbaland’s label.

Timbo says the song is

“very interesting. The song, I can’t describe it, it’s so different. It’s not different for me, but I can tell you this — it fits everything going on with the vampire theme.“

I say it sounds not different at all; it sounds exactly like everything else he has done over last few years. Come on, it’s ish! Really ishy ish I shall say.

The worst thing is that once the album comes out, Timbo is going to be everywhere again. People, wake up! He’s so four years ago! Just to make things clear: I really appreciate his old work with Aaliyah, Missy Elliott and more recently – Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake. I just can’t stand how he’s stuck on repeat and people are still so excited about him. And maybe I’m wrong but I’ve got a feeling the whole album is gonna be just as I’ve-heard-it-all-before as this single.

Blah.

Shakira’s new album is actually quite good

I’ve never been a fan of Shakira as her voice annoyed me most of the time. And so did her music, to be honest. However, I realised that things may be about to change when I heard ‘She Wolf’ single and found out that she teamed up with the legendary The Neptunes to make her new record. I was right.

So considering it’s a heavily mainstream electropop, here’s a review:
