NEW CHRISTINA AGUILERA!: christina aguilera feat ty dolla $ign & 2 chainz - accelerate

christina aguilera feat ty dolla $ign & 2 chainz - accelerate
taking time off has not made christina into a shy woman! she's back and so orally fixated that she's made a video where we see more of her mouth/tongue than we really need to. the kanye west produced track (hm... is it a good idea to be associated with him at the moment?) is busy, but every now and then you hear a brilliant song trying to break out. i think i like it... i'm not sure... but she's baaack!!!

WONGIE BREAKBEAT SONG OF THE WEEK: dj fresh feat ella eyre - gravity

dj fresh feat ella eyre - gravity
yeah having ella's smoky soul over this breakbeat groove is just a smart move. the song is an insta-hit and will get some serious play this winter!

WEEKEND MIX: melanie fiona - cold piece

melanie fiona - cold piece
now that melanie has left her record label (which, to be honest, never promoted her to her full amazing potential), the soul diva is planning on her next move as an indie artist that'll hopefully include interesting collaborations with other styles that i've always felt a voice like hers could easily adapt to. before all that, pepsi and complex offered to shoot the video for her latest single for her fans to enjoy. it's a big ad basically, but hey, we get to hear a new song!

WONGIE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: laura mvula - she / tiny desk concert (live @ npr music)
