florence + the machine - what kind of man
whoa! there's some seriously disturbing images in director vincent haycock's interpretation of florence's brand new single "what kind of man". throw in ryan heffington's awesomely tumultuous group choreography (which reminds me of lars von trier weirdly enough) and you're looking at some dark thoughts behind florence's take on relationships. it's all very exciting don't you think?

WONGIE DRAMA SONG OF THE WEEK: maria mena - f**k you

maria mena - f**k you
there's something so broadway and cheesy about this song (and honestly there is nothing wrong with that!) you would think that with it's wordy lyrics, over production and middle finger proclamation, this song wouldn't work for anyone, but somehow via maria it does so in such a celebratory way! the open book diary pop anthem of the season? i think so!
wanna see maria sing f**k you live? check it out below:

VIDEO PREMIERE: florence and the machine - no light, no light

florence and the machine - no light, no light
[to be honest, i'm not feeling this as much as her previous single 'shake it out'. maybe it's a better live performance piece? but for now it sounds a bit like retread of her own material.]
