The pair performed the ‘Earned It’ singer’s song ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ which appears on his forthcoming album ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’ which hits retailers on August 28th.
As reported, Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex – formerly of Danity Kane – have joined forces to form new duo, Dumblonde.
And, after touting the release of new material for several months, the ladies are finally ready to show folk what they’re working with. Or, more specifically, what they’re working on.
Taking to Instagram, the DK divas revealed that… (more…)
This week’s From The Vault pick goes out to Pop titan Madonna and her hauntingly poignant music video for underrated gem, ‘Bad Girl.’
Released in 1993 as the third single from M’s controversial ‘Erotica‘ LP, ‘Girl’ lyrically tells the tale of a woman’s reckless behaviour after an intense break-up. It was produced and written by the artist herself as well as her go-to-guy at the time Shep Pettibone.
Rolled out during a window when Madonna was making headlines for her overtly-sexual image – the ‘Sex‘ book, anyone ? – the track wasn’t as successful as its predecessors like ‘Like a Prayer’ or‘Justify My Love’ but still managed to peak at a respectable #36 on the Hot 100 and occupy the ultimate position of the UK Top 10… not bad for an artist going through a media backlash.
The most unfortunate thing about the single’s moderate performance is that its accompanying video seems to be forgotten despite being – if you ask us – one of the entertainer’s finest visual offerings.
Helmed by David Fincher – whom had previously collaborated with Madge on videos such as ‘Express Yourself’ and ‘Vogue’ – it stays true to the song’s lyrical content and presents the Material Girl as a chain-smoking, moody female-executive who drowns her sorrow in alcohol, cigarettes and one-night-stands.
With Fincher on board, it was a given the cinematography would deliver, indeed the visual, which feels like a short film, exudes an air of retro-glam and the art-deco architecture of the city of New-York where it was shot gives it a dark and dramatic edge.
At many times Madonna has proven that when the world beats you down, you get back up… and keep on releasing amazing material. This is one of the many reasons she can still make headlines in 2015. Though we long for a time where she would go back to music and visuals of such quality, we can’t knock her hustle and commend her dedication to the entertainment industry.
Every passing day pulls Rihanna fans one step closer to the release of her new album.
Now, before it touches down via Roc Nation, peep snaps of the vocalist out and about in New York City where she is aid to be recording new material for the set.
The singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger will unleash the beast that is his new body of work on July 17th.
Its name? ‘Cuffing Season.’
However, fans won’t have to wait until then to learn that he has teamed up with TLC’s T-Boz to release a brand new version of the group’s hit single ‘Creep.’
This version will appear on Bellinger’s ‘Season‘ and dropped after the performer penned hits for the likes of Usher, Chris Brown and did his part to feed into the world’s current obsession with the 90s with the West Coast-kissed ‘I Don’t Want Her.’
Earlier this year fans learned Iggy Azalea had pulled the plug on her ‘Great Escape’ arena tour.
Alas, the excuses she hoped would mask the scent of its commercial failure were blown out of the water when ‘Billboard’ revealed that they’d learned that said excuses were more fictional than they were factual.
For, sources close to the publication claimed it was poor ticket sales and not the reasons Azalea had conjured up that had forced her to cancel the live show.
This rubbed her the wrong way and she’s now asked her fans to blacklist them.
Trey Songz took to Miami to shoot the video for the song ‘About You‘ this year.
