Marina & The Diamonds - Radioactive

I have been a fan since those famous words of "Hollywood" "Oh my gosh you look like Catherine Zeta, no no more like Shakira, actually my name's Marina"classic and the rest of first album "The Family Jewels" was basically nothing short of incredible.. So Marina & The Diamonds are defo one of my fave bands out there. "Radioactive" is a return to form as is "Fear and Loathing" which sees Marina slowly transforming to the non ego "Electra Heart" which is also the name of the new album, and "Radioactive" is a video based around "Electra Heart" coming to form.


Confused? Well don't be, the song itself is just so damn good that the rest of it does not even matter! I can hear this becoming a mega summer anthem with remixes comng out our ears! It is a change in direction for the band and seems a dead cert for number 1!


I love it, digitally "Radioactive" is released 3rd October with the album "Electra Heart" to follow.

Nicola Roberts - Lucky Day

I literally L.O.V.E. this song, I have not stopped listening to it on YouTube since they released it last week. It is pure genius! Nicola Roberts looks like she is about to carve a highly successful solo career away from Girls Aloud. I am patiently awaiting "Cinderella's Eyes" to be released, but for now I will just keep watching the video to "Lucky Day" and listening to "Beat of My Drum" on my Ipod.
 What's also great about this song is, it was produced by my favourite band - Dragonette, who as everyone knows are my all time faves and I bang on about them all the time and you can hear their trademark sound on this single.


The video to "Lucky Day" is also pretty epic, neon sperm, a strange dress, trainers that light up! NEW YORK the list goes on and on. Everything about this single is EPIC. Nothing else to say on it, you look for yourself, but be prepared to be blown away!


I have been waiting for a new song/sound that I can get really excited about and "Lucky Day" has provided this for me, I am literally typing at the speed of light whilst blasting "Lucky Day" full volume out of my speakers on my laptop and trying to sing along (badly) at the top of my voice whilst I replay the video for the 11th time in a row!!


I need this song, but I will wait until 18thSeptember when it is released! Boo.

Maroon 5 feat Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger

Maroon 5 has always been a band that has released some decent songs and some not so decent, they are non-offensive, and as for Christina Aguilera, we all know I love her! I wish her last album, "Bionic" was bigger and she did more video's from it as there are some great songs on that album.
Adam Levine and Christina worked on the smash hit reality TV show "The Voice" and out of this the collaboration was created and the song "Moves Like Jagger" which is basically an anthem.

I think this will be a huge hit here in the UK - the video shows the love of Jagger and the love of the UK/States. It is a kind of vintage video and I love it! People will always love seeing Adam Levine topless and then there are the hardcore Xtina fans out there (me included) that will come out in their droves to support this damn fine tune.

Maroon 5 have had 4 albums and their most successful of course is "Songs About Jane" which included "She Will Be Loved & This Love" whereas Christina has also had 4 albums and I cannot list all the success she has had as we all know it, "Dirrty, Beautiful, Fighter.." the list goes on basically but "Stripped" is one of the greatest albums ever created.

"Moves Like Jagger" is released on 14th August and I predict big things for it. BUY IT.

Will Young - Jealousy

Will Young is one of those reality stars that actually, when you think about it, should really not be associated with reality TV anymore because, lets face it, he is super talented and has made a wave in the music industry since he won Pop Idol in 2002. Proving critics wrong with number one singles & albums not only does Will writes, but he acts and sings, he has had some fantastic hits since he won Pop Idol all those years ago. My favourites are "Fridays Child, Who Am I, Leave Right Now & All Time Love" and now he is back with "Jealousy" easily a contender to become one of my favourite Will Young Songs.


Upbeat and very in-keeping with current trends but sticking to that classic sound of Will Young, he is back on form and the video is great! He dons spandex and acts all gymnasticy and leaves you wondering if he ever got what he wanted! The good thing it seems with Will, is that it is about the music an not how many number one singles he has had! Unlike so many other winners from the reality music shows who vanish into obscurity after just a few releases Will has managed to carve a successful career that is all about his music.


Anyways I love "Jealousy" and cannot get enough of it, check the video out below. Fifth album (I cannot believe it is his fifth!) "Echoes" is released 22nd August 2011, with single "Jealousy" being released the day before, I predict this will become a huge comeback for Will Young.
