This is going to split people right down the middle. Not literally of course, that would just be sick, but it will divide people between those who love this video, and those who hate it.
Whichever camp you’re in, you can’t fail to realise what a stroke of genius it is, both in content and delivery.
Old […]
I’ve got so much to say about this song, the crappy video which accompanies it, Akon being a talentless fool, and the emergence of T-Pain as “the guy who can’t have a hit by himself”.
Let’s start with Akon. He came to mine, and most people’s attention with Lonely, that song which had him accompanying what […]
British band The Kooks are continuing their mission to become completely Americanised, as can be witnessed in this, their latest video for Always Where I Need To Be.
As a big British music fan, as anyone who regularly reads Brit Music Scene will know, I find it sad when home-grown artists feel the need to change […]
Oh dear. Am I starting to like R’n’B? This isn’t a good development. There’s so much I hate about this song yet I find myself liking it despite myself.
It’s the normal fare, with lyrics describing women as mere sexual objects, and nothing that takes it from the decidedly average to the inspired.
In actual fact, I […]
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 […]
It seems that Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have finally got married, after having been dating for six years. So to celebrate we’ll look back at one of Beyonce’s biggest and best hits of recent years.
I can’t decide if this song is anti-man or just pro-women. There’s a big difference between the two.
In the end I […]
Sam Sparro seems to have come from nowhere and launched himself a pop career which is getting a lot of attention here in the UK.
This is his début single, called Black and Gold, which gives a good taster of his soulful pop sound. I can also see this going down great in dance clubs, especially […]
At the beginning of the month I reviewed Soulja Boy Tell’em’s début (s)hit Crank That. At the time, I was really hopeful that it would be a one hit wonder, and I’d never have the misfortune of hearing anything so bad ever again.
Unfortunately, Soulja Boy didn’t take my wish that he would quietly retire from […]
There is a fine line between being subtle, and having just too God damn much going on with a song. And this, The Way That I Love You by Ashanti is a fine example of that line being crossed.
Both the song and the video have far too much going on, and here’s why.
However strong Ashanti’s […]
Last week, I reviewed Taio Cruz Feat. Luciana with Come On Girl. I didn’t rate it very much, so I thought it would be fitting to go back and look at another dong featuring Luciana.
This song is by Bodyrox, although Luciana definitely takes centre stage and makes the song what it is. She also makes […]
