Pendulum are a new Australian band who have relocated to the UK as they know it is the Mecca of decent music. Just ask Dave over at Brit Music Scene, oh hang on that’s me! However, don’t tell Lauren at Oz Music Scene, or she’ll kill me.
After starting as producers and remixers, they are now […]

I’ve always liked Missy Elliott, as unlike a lot of the other Hip-Hop artists out there, she seems to always strive for originality, without resting on her laurels or being lazy.
She’s continued this trend with the first single from her forthcoming, as yet untitled album, which also appears on the Step Up 2 The Streets […]

I’ve been quite scathing about both Dance and Hip-Hop on Killed By The Video Star up to now, and with reason too, as both genres tend to be quite shallow, and not very inventive.
However, I’ve hit a problem, as I kind of like this tune, Wearing My Rolex by Wiley, as even though it combines […]

Kylie Minogue is huge in the UK, Europe, Japan, and her native Australia, but America just doesn’t seem to have taken her to their hearts like the rest of the world. She’s the female Robbie Williams in that respect.
This song, In My Arms, is the third from her new album, X, which is her in […]

The last few weeks have been quite tricky for me here on Killed By The Video Star, mainly because the videos that I was reviewing all tended to be uninspiring pieces of crap.
There were a few gems of course, and I travelled back in time a little bit to ensure not every review was a […]

What the hell is happening with dance tunes these days? Is releasing them once not enough for anyone? It seems they all have to be released multiple times, often years apart.
We’ve already seen it happen with the Utah Saints re-releasing Something Good. Basically the same song as the original, just speeded up for the 2008 […]

This song has just entered the UK charts at number 9, although apparently it’s been around for a while now. However, I’ve just discovered it myself so here’s a quick review.
I’ve never heard of September before, although she is apparently Swedish singer Petra Marklund, and she’s been around for ages as a Europop dance type […]

I’ve been waiting what seems like ages to finally get the chance to review this song, and accompanying video, but haven’t had the chance until now.
Because the song was leaked online prematurely, it was then released digitally, and has been and gone at the top of the US Billboard charts. It did however mean that […]

Along with millions of other people around the world, I was entranced by Gnarls Barkley in 2006 when they released the magnificent Crazy.
I may be sick to the back teeth of it now, unless it’s one of the bizarre remixes which are all over YouTube, but at the time it was a breath of fresh […]

Do you want to know how to guarantee having a successful record? Take an ageing but still pretty hot female pop star, a young guy who every woman wants to have sex with, and a producer who seems to have a secret formula for making hits… almost every time.
Stick them in a mixing bowl, add […]
