WONGIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: kelis - been given a morning

kelis - been given a morning
if this is the new direction of kelis as an artist, then i am ALL IN! what a wonderful mature musical turn for this oft under appreciated singer. brilliant!

WONGIE DANCE SONG OF THE WEEK: calvin harris feat kelis - bounce

calvin harris feat kelis - bounce
[a clever day in the life video (by directors vincent haycock and ag rojas) brings together kelis and calvin harris into the narrative of a las vegas loser. throw in the fact that the song is such a catchy stormer and you pretty much have one of the coolest things out at the moment. i'm a fan!]

duran duran feat mark ronson - girl panic!


duran duran feat kelis - come undone

NEW VIDEO!: kelis - scream

kelis - scream
[not my fave track from kelis, much has to do with the fact that i keep on thinking there should be more 'umph' during the breaking point of this song. instead she just kind of sounds bored throughout. what is going on here?]

[oh wow... this only proves that kelis will be able to bring this album on the road! really great live performance!]

FREE MP3 YO!: kelis - acapella (acid washed remix)

kelis - acapella (acid washed remix)
[the hot parisian duo acid washed recently threw some of their musical magic at kelis' "acapella" and came up with this sweet ode to old skool giorgio moroder in the process. since i love the remix so much, i got the duo to offer the remix as a freebie for you guys! if you like what you hear, keep an eye out for their visit stateside very soon!]

AUDIO LEAK: kelis - 22nd century / 4th of july

[over the weekend 2 exciting club tracks from kelis' forthcoming album 'fleshtone' got leaked. though both aren't as instantly catchy as 'acapella', they do showcase the fact that it is indeed a full on club album with many hidden gems to come. can't wait to hear more!]

[kelis looks and sounds great, but what use is will.i.am other than to press play?]

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: kelis - acapella

kelis - acapella
[we've been fans of this song since last november and it's only now getting a proper single release. better late than never, cause this david guetta produced anthem still sounds phenomenal and should bring kelis back to the top of the charts! welcome back kelis!!]

[trust me, if i could make this my song of the week, i would! what a total scorcher! produced by david guetta, this is hot!!!]

INDIE DANCE BITCH DANCE: crookers feat kelis - no security

crookers feat kelis - no security
[i'm kind of meh about this track (and i really shouldn't cause i love both the crookers and kelis). maybe it'll grow on me?]

new video monday

robbie williams - she's madonna
[ok, i wasn't won over the 1st time i heard this song on robbie's album, but now with the video (god, he looks ugly in a dress), i think this pet shop boys produced song actually works...hm...am i getting soft these days?]


kelis feat cee lo - lil' star
[by far one of my fave songs of kelis' last album. hopefully this retro soul tune will re-introduce everyone to just how talented and diverse she can be]


the feeling - rose
[4th single by the awesome feeling and this time they go for stadium balladry. i love them already so there's no need to convince me of anything]


the view - same jeans
[the lead singer looks like he's 16 (ok, maybe he is)! but these guys totally reminds me of the bands of the late 80's that my brother used to listen to, no wonder the buzz is mad in the uk]


mr hudson and the library - too late, too late
[would you consider this a nu-ska movement brewing? i'm game if the world is!]
