keri hilson - pretty girl rock
[the lyrics are kind of silly (since it's practically a beyond boast about the beauty of our gal keri), but i'm hoping there is some tongue in cheek here cause the cute video is a pretty darn compelling look at beautiful images of women throughout the ages (though i wish she went all out gaga at the end). bubblegum.]
timbaland feat keri hilson and d.o.e. - the way i are [link 2] [at first this just sounded like a reject from the futuresex/lovesounds sessions, but then after repeated (most not voluntary) listens, i quickly realised just how simple, genius and timeless the whole song plays. easily one of the best club tunes of the year.]
emily haines - doctor blind [metric's lead singer taps into her singer songwriter roots and comes out with a melancholic and damn creepy video to boot!!]
timbaland feat keri hilson, sebastian and d.o.e. - the way i are [there's nothing like going to a crowded place and then watching the room go a bit funky when a good song comes on. last night this song was in full effect over at my local den and damn, did the room go mad for it! thanks to ali's blog for the video tip.]
example - i don't want to [cool fun summer song by a new uk rapper that just got playlisted on bbc radio 1]
mark ronson feat daniel merriweather - stop me (dirty south remix) (HOTT!!!!) [this song is old news here on wongie's music world, but check out the HOT new dirty south remix and international video that was commisioned to break the US]
ali love - secret sunday lover [with newfound exposure as the vocals on the current chemical brothers single, will this retro disco track finally be the breakout song for ali? all signs point to yes!]
sondre lerche - phantom punch [my, how a few years can change an artist. when sondre first came onto the scene he was a cute boy that made sweet gentle retro dittys. now a few years later, he's a cute boy that's living out his retro rock god instead. no worries, it's all good.]
nelly furtado - in god's hands [the song is pleasant, nelly looks gorgeous, but is it just me or does this sound perfect for a show like dawson's creek (if the creek was still around)?]
madonna - hey you [link 2] [how did madonna and pharrell make one of the most boring songs of the year? ugh! just remember to make pledges to change the way you live now]
