Kings Of Leon released their second single 'Use Somebody' from their album 'Only By The Night', with nearly as much success as their first one. For now it's on the top 10 in the UK Charts, which doesn't suprise me considering the quality of their music and vocals. Have a look. They are one of my favourite rock bands at the moment, even if I didn't pay that much attention to them in the past. The album is very recommendable too.
Kings Of Leon han sacado al mercado su segundo sencillo 'Use Somebody' de su ultimo trabajo de estudio 'Only By The Night', casi con tanto exito como su primer sencillo. Por el momento estan en el top 10 del ranking de exitos del Reino Unido, cosa que no me sorprende nada si tomamos en cuenta la calidad de su musica y voces. Por ahora son una de mis bandas de rock favoritas del momento, aunque no les hubiera hecho demasiado caso en anteriores ocasiones. El disco entero es de lo mas recomendable.
After a few years of rather low profile and musical silence, more than anything due to her involvement in a car accident scandal than anything else, Brandy has released her latest album 'Human'. I haven't had a chance to listen to it in full yet, but I thought it was worth sharing these two videos of her latest single releases in the US. They are very nice and especially 'Right Here (Departed)' is quite touching. I hope you like them.
Despues de unos cuantos años de silencio musical y estar alejada del ojo publico, mas que nada despues de estar imbolucrada en un escandalo sobre un accidente de coche, Brandy ha vuelto con su nuevo album 'Human'. Aun no he tenido oportunidad de excuchar el disco entero, pero me gustaria compartir estos dos video que he encontrado de los dos sencillos que ha sacado al mercado en USA. Especialmente 'Right Here (Departed)' toca bastante la fibra sensible. Espero que os gusten.
Alesha Dixon, former one third of UK girl band Mis-Teeq and last year's Strictly Come Dancing winner, released not long ago her new solo album 'The Alesha Show'. I don't say her first solo album as this is not the case. She previously recorded another album, 'Fired Up', that contained her two fairly succesful singles 'Knockdown' and 'Lipstick', the the album itself never saw the light for some reason and was shelved without release inthe UK. I had the chance now to listen to both of those and I can say that they are both very good albums. It's a shame 'Fired Up' was never released as it could have been a smashing success for Alesha. Fortunately, 'The Alesha Show' is a very solid pop collection of sounds, with great upbeat and ballad songs, so this is a good chance to redeem herself and show the record company what mistake they did pulling the plug on the previous album. The first single for the present album is 'The Boy Does Nothing'. Maybe somehow slightly strange lyrics, but it becomes really catchy and the video is very much on the lines of her previous success in the dancing arena. Judge for yourselves, but I think she has rightfully earned the nickname of 'british response to Beyonce'.
Alesha Dixon, ex parte del grupo femenino Mis-teeq y ganadora de la original inglesa del programa 'Mira Quien Baila', saco al mercado no hace mucho su ultimo trabajo de estudio en solitario al mercado llamado 'The Alesha Show'. Y digo su ultimo, porque en este caso no es el primero. Alesha grabo hace un par de años otro album llamado 'Fired Up', del cual saco al mercado con bastante exito los sencillos 'Knockdown' y 'Lipstick', pero por algun motivo, la compañia discografica decidio no sacar el disco al mercado. Afortunadamanete para Alesha, aqui tiene su seguna oportunidad gracias a la popularidad que gano este pasado año, entre otras cosas, por ganar el concurso de baile votado por el publico del Reino Unido. Su primer single del presente album se llama 'The Boy Does Nothing'. La letra de la cancion es un poco peculiar, pero se convierte en una cancion muy pegadiza y con un fantastico ritmo, el video muy inspirado en la pista de baile de salon. juzgad por vosotros mismos los videos presente y pasados y vereis como la discografica se da cuenta ahora del error que cometio hace un par de años, con lo que creo que se ha ganado a pulso el titulo de la 'respuesta inglesa a Beyonce' como la llaman aqui.
Leona Lewis has released before schedule her cover to Snow Patrol's 'Run' for download. And just with that she is the new number 1 in the UK charts this week. This is a slow song that will give you more and more goosebumps as it plays along. Her voice in it sounds gorgeous and the cover is spot on. Definitely worth a listen even if you haven't been so much into her music before. This girls is in a class of her own. See the video below.
Leona Lewis ha sacado al mercado su version del tema 'Run' del grupo Snow Patrol para descarga antes de lo previsto debido a masiva demanda del publico. Como resultado ha conseguido el numero 1 en la lista de exitos del Reino Unido. Esta es una cacnion lenta que te pondra la piel de gallina mas y mas segun suena la cancion. Su voz suena fantastica en esta cancion y la version es perfecta. Definitivamente vale la pena escucharla aunque no haya sido de vuetro gusto su repertorio anterior. Esta chica esta a otro nivel de otro artista jovenes de hoy en dia. Ver el video de esta cancion mas abajo.
After her succesful come back single 'Womanizer', Britney Spears is releasing 'Circus' as her second single from the album of the same name. And from my humble opinion, this is the best song in the album. A Britney all round song with another killer video to boot. This really makes people believe Britney csn eventually recover completely and bring a great show next summer to the UK. She's still a few light years from where she was when she was on top of her game, but this is at least something to get very excited about for whoever liked Britney before. Fun, upbeat and pop. It's Britney b**ch and she's back!
Despues de sacar con exito su primer sencillo 'Womanizer' y llegar al numero uno en USA, Britney saca su segundo sencillo 'Circus' del album del mismo nombre. Y en mi humilde opinion, esta es la mejor cancion del disco. Una cancion al estilo Britney puro y duro con un un video fantastico a juego. Esto realemente anima a la gente a la que le gusto Britney Spears en algun momento y nos hace creer que se puede recuperar por completo, aunque aun esta a unos pocos años luz de su mejor forma. Pero al menos es un fantastico punto de partida que nos prepara para la visita el proximo verano de sus 8 conciertos en el Reino Unido. Britney b**ch esta de vuelta!
Pink is releasing 'Sober' as her second single from her album 'Funhouse'. The song is one of the best in fact. The album itself it's not bad, but boy it's is heartbreak and depressing all in all. If you just got out of a relationship that is the perfect choice for you to listen, but if you look for an upbeat album just give it a miss. I still prefer her previous effort, which I think was her best whatever people say. However, this is Pink we are talking about, so indifference is not an option. Just check out shit video and you will see why. Funny she released 'Sober' as her second single, when she seems she had a couple of drinks in her latest appearences, especially in the 'Divas II' program shown in the UK not that long ago... Rather a disappointment she was the only one of all not to join the rest at the end of the program... But hey, that was a Divas program I guess, so nevermind. Let the girl have fun.
Pues como era de esperar, Pink saca al mercado 'Sober' como su segundo sencillo de su disco 'Funhouse'. La cancion es una de las mejores del disco de hecho. El album en si no esta nada mal, pero es superdepresivo. Si acabas de romper con alguin este es el disco que quieres escuchar, pero si buscas algo mas alegre quizas prefieras pasar de este. Yo aun me quedo con su disco anterior, que digan lo que digan, para mi fue su mejor trabajo. Sin embargo, Pink es de quien estamos hablando en este caso y ignorarla no es una de tus opciones. Simplemente mirate el video y veras porque. Sorprendente que saque una cancion llamada sobria, especialmene despues de que en un par de actuaciones hechas hace poco hubiera parecido que se hubiera tomado un par de copas... En fin, que le quiten lo bailado si pueden.
Here is Rihanna's 8th single 'Rehab' from her album 'Good Girl Gone Bad - Reloaded'. 8th single!!!! And she keeps on releasing and collaborating with other artists. She is absolutely everywhere and they are all actually brilliant. good choices for the barbadian girl. In this occasion this is a collaboration with Justin Timberlake, although he's just in the video looking sexy, same as she does, and dropping a couple of sentences... so another one to keep you warm in the winter. Enjoy!
Aqui esta Rihanna con el octavo sencillo, 'Rehab', de su disco 'Good Girl Gone Bad - Reloaded'. El octavo single!!!! Todos siendo exitos totales y ella sigue colaborando con otros artistas en canciones que tambien son la bomba. Buenas decisiones esta haciendo esta chica de Barbados. En esta ocasion colabora con ella Justin Timberlake, aunque solo sale en el video mostrandose tan sexy como ella y solo suelta un par de frases en la cancion. Asi que otro video para hacer el invierno mas calentito. Espero que os guste!
I wasn't all that impressed by the choice of their second single from their album 'Catfights & Spotlights' as the song itself it's good but not that remarkable. However, they have killed it (in a good way) with the steamy video. As with lots of songs, the video can make or break a single release, and in this case, this is a winner. The Sugababes seem to have decided to spend a few pounds this time and release a good video hiring a few gorgeous male models in undies and the girls strutting their stuff and looking absolutely stunning. Check out this winter warmer video of 'No Can Do' to make out your minds. This song is a slow burner that will grow on you, but don't miss the 'Bond-esque' songs from their album, the singing is brilliant.
No me parecio la decision mas acertada elegir como segundo single 'No Can Do' de su album 'Catfights & Spotlights', pues esta cancion no es una de las que se recuerdan a la primera. Sin embargo, con el video de esta cancion haran que te acuerdes de ellas seguro. Como en muchos casos, el videoclip puede hacer que una cancion sea un triunfo total o un desastre, y en este caso las Sugababes pueden hacer de esto un triunfo absoluto. Parece que esta vez, nuestras Sugababes se han decidio a gastar unas cuantas libras esterlinas para hacer un buen video contratando a un monton de modelos masculinos en ropa interior y ellas vistiendose rompedoras desfilando por el rodaje. Esta cancion es una de esas que gusta con tiempo y acaba gustando. No os perdais las canciones a lo pelicula Bond del disco, estan cantadas con absoluta perfeccions.
Who would ever think that we could see a video mash up by our two favourite pop princesses that would actually work out and sound right... At least that's what I thought. Check this remix of 'Britney vs Christina - Womanizer Keeps Getting Better (Robin Skouteris Mashup)'. Pretty cool at the very least.
Quien hubiera dicho que un dia encontrariamos un videomontaje de nuestras dos princesas del pop favoritas que de hecho funcionara... O al menos eso es lo que yo he creido. Ved por vosotros mismos este remix de 'Britney vs Christina - Womanizer Keeps Getting Better (Robin Skouteris Mashup)'. A mi me parce de lo mas acertado.
'Britney vs Christina - Womanizer Keeps Getting Better'
Christina Aguilera will release her first greatest hits album in November. It will be for sure full of her best tracks and a couple of new songs. One of them 'Keeps Gettin' Better', a bit different than usual, but quite good. In this song she is quite contained regarding her vocals, which is a first but a shame as her big beltings are of a class of their own. Enjoy her new video, released just last friday.
Christina Aguilera sacara al mercado su primer disco de grandes exitos en Noviembre. Seguro que estara compuesto de sus mejores canciones y un par de nuevos temas. Una de ellas es 'Keeps Gettin' Better', un poco distinto de a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados, con sus tonos de voz un poco contenidos, que es una novedad, pero una pena tambien, pues sus melodicos 'gritos' son de una clase a parte. Aqui esta su nuevo video, estrenado el viernes pasado.
Autumn is here an mountains of releases happen. Anastacia and Pink the most remarkable ones. Sugababes following close. And now the girl bands are ready to attack too. The Saturdays will release their first album 'Chasing Lights' following their success with 'If This Is Love' and now the great 'Up', both top ten hits in the UK Charts. Girls Aloud, the band that gets better with every album, will release too their new album shortly, with the release of their new single 'The Promise'. So many releases will leave us breathless and I hope I have time to digest them all. As soon as I have listened to the new albums I will let you know how good they are. For now I can say Anastacia's sounds amazing.
El otoño esta aqui y montañas de lanzamientos occurren. Anastacia y Pink los mas extraordinarios de momento, con Sugababes siguiendolos de cerca. Y ahora los grupos de chicas estan listos para el ataque tambien. The Saturdays lanzaran su primer disco despues del exito de 'If This Is Love' y ahora mismo 'Up', ambos en el top 10 del UK Charts. Girls Aloud, otra banda que mejora con cada album, lanzara nueva trabajo muy pronto despues del lanzamiento del single 'The Promise' que sera seguro un exito. Tan pronto haya escuchado los nuevos albums os dire que tal estan, pero por ahora el de Anastacia es una autentica maravilla.
Beyonce's new song' If I Were A Boy', a part from is a harsh message to men in general, saying how horrible they treat women. However, the song is really beautiful and one of the best from this lady. Beyonce will release a double CD album in November called 'I Am... Sasha Fierce'. Not sure why this will be double other than the pace of each CD, but being the deluxe edition an 8 track per CD job, I don't understand why she couldn't put all in one CD only or add more tracks to the other two. Still, looking forward to listening to it very much as she's always very impressive in all her work. On the other hand, she has release another track called 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' which is the first song fro CD2, same as 'If I Were A Boy' is the first song in CD1, making us believe that one CD will be rather slow and the second one more uptempo. Let's see what suprises the new album unleashes, but for now enjoy these two new songs.
La nueva cancion de Beyonce 'If I Were A Boy', a parte de usar la gramatica equivocada, es un mensaje terrible hacia los hombres en general, contando que mal tratan a las mujeres. Sin embargo, la cancion es preciosa y una de las mejores de esta dama. Beyonce lanzara al mercado su nuevo disco en Noviembre, un doble CD llamado 'I Am... Sasha Fierce'. No se seguro porque sera doble, especialmente ya que la edicion de lujo tendra 8 canciones por CD, pudiendo ponerlas todas en uno o incluyendo mas canciones. pero la explicacin mas logica es que el CD1 sera mas lento y el CD2 mas movido. La primera cancion del CD1 es 'If I Were A Boy' y la primera del CD2 es 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)', que seguramente sera su siguiente single, del que ya tenemos video musical disponible. Veamos que sopresas nos trae su nuevo album, pues esta mujer siempre nos trae trabajo de mucha calidad y nunca decepciona.
Britney Spears released not long ago her latest single 'Womanizer' topping the US charts, preparing for the release of her new album 'Circus' on 1/12/2008. She seems to be back on track. Though we could say she seems to be back where she left it before her meltdown with the video for 'Womanizer'. It's very much on the vein of 'Toxic'. Lots of references to it, like her dancing, sexy moves and even the guy with glasses that appeared in the plane scene shows up here in the photocopy machine scene. Check it out, it's quite funny and she seems to be ready to take on the world again. The music and the singing are not all that great, but this song will probably stay in your head for days.
Britney Spears lanzo no hace mucho su ultimo single 'Womanizer' llegando al numero 1 en los Estados Unidos, preparando el camino para su nuevo album 'Circus' que sale a la venta el 1/12/2008. Britney parece estar de nuevo en plena forma. O mejor dicho, parece haber vuelto donde lo dejo despues de su single 'Toxic'. El video de 'Womanizer' comparte muchos aspectos con 'Toxic'. El baile, los movimientos sexy e incluso el hombre con gafas que salia en la escena del avion, aparece aqui en la escena de la fotocopiadora. Es bastante divertido y ella parece lista para conquistar el mundo de nuevo. La musica y voz no son lo mas fantastico, pero esta cancion va a estar en tu mente durante varios dias.
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Island Records recommending me a new boy band. Their name is Avenue. Their names are Andy, Max, Scott, Ross and Jonny. I got curious, as such a label wouldn´t advertise a band unless they were pretty confident of possible success and that they had some good quality. I checked out their first single 'Last Goodbye' out of interest then and I was quite impressed. The music quite upbeat and energetic and some of the boys can actually sing. Some of them seem pretty good looking too, so the mix of all makes quite a possible success formula. Let´s see if they make it to the charts, as their single was supposed to have been released in September and at day today no sign of them in the charts. But did they really appear out of the blue? A bit of their story.
They tried to take part in the X Factor talent show. They did very well as they got to boot camp. But it seems they had some kind of management before they entered the contest and that was breaking one of the golden rules of the show, so they effectively got desqualified. They fortuantely were not forgotten and they got together some good producers and a contract with a good label and good A&R. And today I´m telling you about them as it looks like they could make it. I will keep you posted if they do. For now enjoy their first single 'Last Goodbye'.
The little lady with the huge voice, Anastacia, is back and ready to storm through anything in her way! This is the first single, 'I Can Feel You', from her upcoming album 'Heavy Rotation', which will be released on 27th October In Europe and Asia. The rest of the world during 2009. Surprising how an American has such huge success in Europe but not in her own country which so much talent as she has. Delight your ears with her new song produced and written by Ne-Yo.
La pequeña dama con gran voz, Anastacia, vuelve lista a arrollar todo lo que se ponga en su camino. Este es su primer sencillo, 'I Can Feel You', de su nuevo album 'Heavy Rotation' que saldra a la venta el 27 de Octubre en Europa y Asia. En el resto del mundo a partir del 2009. Es curioso como una cantante con tanto talento no tiene tanto exito en su propio pais. Deleitar vuestros oidoscon su nueva cancion producida y escrita por Ne-Yo.
Surfing the internet I bumped into this video. Tamia is a canadian singer with a beautiful voice, but unfortunately it seems only some of her songs made it into Europe. One of which was 'Stranger In My House'. The remix was a total scorcher back then. Below you can listen to her latest hit in the US, 'Me' y su remix, where you can listen her soulful voice and dramatic lyrics that remain the same as on her second album. Shame she doesn't come to Europe more often. Check out the huge difference there is between the original song and the remix. Two jewels in their areas.
Navegando por internet encontre este video. Tamia es una cantante canadiense con una bellisima voz, pero que desafortunadamente para que tan solo algunas de sus canciones llegan a Europa. Uno de sus hits fue 'Stranger In My House'. El remix fue un autentico bombazo a principios de este milenio. Aqui podeis escuchar su ultimo sencillo en USA, 'Me' y su remix, donde podeis escuhar su maravillosa voz y sus dramaticas letras. Un pena que no venga mas por Europa. Ved que diferencia hay entre la cancion original y el remix. Son dos joyas en sus propios campos.
As expected autumn brings lots of news. Some will be a killer for X-mas and some are already a success or have been during the summer. I won't say very much this time, but here is the list of what is getting more airplay these days and I'm liking the most. Enjoy.
Como es de esperar el otoño nos trae muchas novedades. Algunas daran el bombazo durante las navidades y otras han tenido mucho exito durante el verano. Esta vez no voy a decir mucho. Simplemente disfurtad de la musica que mas se oye en la radio ultimamente y la que mas me esta gustando ahora mismo.
'Solange Knowles - I Decided (Part 2 - Freemasons Remix)'
Because Pink is back and sounds stronger than ever. Her previous studio effort 'I'm Not Dead' was wondeful and her upcoming album 'Funhouse', to be release during the autumn, seems ready to take over the world all over again with her first single 'So What' to be released in September in the UK. Watching the video you would think that she is totally bitter about her divorce from her ex-husband Carey Hart (Motocross Rider), but seeing that he is actually doing several cameos in it shows that they are still in the best of terms regardless of the divorce. This song is getting a lot of airplay already and in my humble opinion, it sounds great. Check for yourselves.
Pink esta de vuelta y suena mas fuerte que nunca. Su previo trabajo de estudio 'I'm Not Dead' fue fantastico y su proximo trabajo 'Funhouse', que se espera sea lanzado al mercado este otoño, parece listo para conquistar el mundo entero de nuevo con su primer single 'So What'. Viendo el video se podria pensar que esta furiosa con su ex-marido Carey Hart (piloto de motocross) despues de su divorcio a principios de año, pero viendo la cantidad de veces que el mismo aparece en el video, podriamos asegurar que son muy buenos amigos aunque se hayan divorciado. Esta cancion esta sonando en todas las emisoras de radio ahora mismo y, en mi humilde opinion, suena genial. Escuchadla y ver que opinais vosotros mismos.
Duffy will release my favourite song from her acclaimed debut album 'Rockferry'. I love this song and I think it's an absolute gem on today's music world. It will be released in the UK on 1st September 2008. It charted already at the beginning of 2008due to download sales, but the official release will be shortly. It seems her other song 'Serious' was the one to be release before this one, but just a few weeks ago this idea was discarded and taken the decision to release 'Steppting Stone' insteaad, which I think was the best choice possible. Submerge yourselves in this complete joy for your ears.
Duffy sacara muy pronto su cuarto sencillo de su aclamado album de debut 'Rockferry'. Es de calle mi cancion favorita de este album y me parece una absoluta joya en el mundo musical de hoy en dia. Este nuevo sencillo saldra a la venta el dia 1 de Setiembre en el Reino Unido, aunque parece que ya estuvo en los ranking de ventas a principios de 2008 debido a ventas por internet. Sin embargo el lanzamiento oficial sera el proximo mes. Al parecer se pretendia sacar primer otra de sus cancions, 'Serious', pero tomaron la acertada decision de cambiar de idea y sacar este en su lugar. Sumergiros en este delicado delirio para vuestros oidos.
Well, here are the hottest and what has caught my attention lately (which might not be the newest). After a little break without posting I will add some videos straight away and give story to what develpes the most, as there is definitely potential for big bangs here, as it is already Katy Perry (number 1 in the UK charts and was in the US) or Miley Cyrus in the US. There is a new Sugababes album to be release in October and their new single is already playing everywhere... However, I expected better than them than a cover, but hey, they make it sound great as usual. Let's hope the album is a lot more than this though. Enjoy!
Pues bueno, aqui estan las novedades y canciones que me han llamado la atencion ultimamente (no necesariamente nuevas). Despues de un descanso en el blog, aqui os traigo algunas cositas que pueden ser autenticos bombazos, pues tienen mucho potencial, como por ejemplo Katy Perry (numero 1 en el Reino Unido y USA) y Miley Cyrus en Estados Unidos. Tambien hay novedades de las Sugababes, que van a sacar nuevo disco en Octubre, y su nuevo single ya esta inundando las ondas de radio a todas horas... Sin embargo esperaba mas de ellas que una version de un clasico, aunque fantasticamente hecho, como siempre ellas consiguen. Esperemos que el nuevo disco traiga otras tantas maravillas como tiene su lista de exitos. Disfrutad!
'Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl'
'Miley Cyrus - 7 Things'
'Rihanna - Disturbia'
'Sharleen Spiteri - All The Times I Cried'
'Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You Are Naked'
Kylie's upcoming single will be the song 'The One' produced by the Freemasons, from her absolutely wonderful album 'X'. The Freemasons are everywhere where a good remix needs to be done, who to my eyes have become the Timbaland for dance music... but classier. In this case they are the producers though, and remixers too as you can expect. So to give a little freshness for the ones that already have the album here is the Freemasons Remix to Kylie's 'The One'. For the ones that don't have the album... what are you waiting for to get it?!
El proximo sencillo de Kylie sera la cancion 'The One', producida por los Freemasons, de su absolutamente maravillosos album 'X'. Los Freemasons estan en todas partes donde haga falta un buen remix y para mi se han convertido en el Timbaland de la musica de baile... pero con mas clase. Sin embargo en este caso ellos son los productores y tambien hacen el remix como os podeis imaginar. Asi que para dar un poco de aire fresco a los que ya tienen el disco aqui esta el Freemasons Remix de 'The One'. Para los que no teneis el disco... a que estais esperando para haceros con el?!
Sam Sparro will release pretty soon his second single '21st Century Life'. For the ones that already have the album it's no news that this will be the second single as it is as good (or maybe better for some?) as 'Black & Gold'. From my point of view it's a better chance to appreciate what a fantastic vocal range Sam Sparro has. Shame they didn't make a big bang of the whole album, although it's worth a listen too. Judge for yourselves.
Sam Sparro sacara su segundo sencillo '21st Century Life' en breve. Para los que ya hayan escuchado su album entero no es ninguna sopresa que este sea su segundo lanzamiento, pues es tan bueno (o mas para algunos) como 'Black & Gold'. Desde mi punto de vista es una mejor opcion para poder apreciar realmente la capacidad vocal de Sam Sparro. Es una pena que no hayan aprovechado y hecho el disco entero una autentica bomba, aunque vale la pena escucharlo. Juzgad por vosotros mismos.
Freemasons have released just recently their new single 'When You Touch Me'. It's already inside of the top 40 UK Chart and has the usual class and wonderful female voice that Freemasons usually bring us. Enjoy it, I think it's another absolute delight from them.
Los Freemasons han sacado su nuevo sencillo hace tan solo una semana. Se llama 'When You Touch Me' y por supuesto ya esta en el top 40 de las lista de exitos en el Reino Unido, con su tipica clase y maravillosa voz fenemina en el tema. Disfrutad el video, es una autentica delicia como a la que los Freemasons nos tienen acostumbrados.
A while back I heard the song 'That's Not My Name' by The Ting Tings... and I thought it sounded quite good, but what a name for a band blah blah blah. Another UK one hit wonder... but then the song kept coming back to me, on and on and on. And then the itunes advert had another catchy song called 'Shut Up And Let Me Go'. Surprise, surprise, it was by The Ting Tings too. So no one hit wonder here for now. I got myself their album 'We Started Nothing' and I got a bigger surprise when I actually liked it a lot. Funny and clever lyrics with very very catchy sounds on the background. Then when I looked for more information about them I found out that they are getting huge in America too, after their first UK number one hit that I knew of already... I think you might like to check them out... because I think you might get trapped by their charm too. Let's hope it lasts though. See a couple of videos below with their songs.
Hace ya un tiempo escuche por primera vez la cancion 'That's Not My Name' de The Ting Tings. Pense que sonaban bastante bien, pero con ese nombre para el grupo y blablablabla. Otro grupito del Reino Unido... Pero por alguna razon la cancion siguio sonando en mi cabeza y de hecho en todas partes. Luego otra cancion que sonaba genial en el anuncio de itunes llamada 'Shut Up And Let Me Go'. Sorpresa, sopresa, otra cancion de The Ting Tings. Asi que no era solo cuestion de una sola cancion, tenian mas buen repertorio. Asi que me hice con su album 'We Started Nothing' y para mi sopresa me encanto. Letras divertidas y inteligentes con una musica pegadiza de fondo que se te queda grabada en la cabeza. Cuando busque mas informacion sobre ellos resulto que en America estan teniendo mucho exito tambien, despues de su ya sabido primer numero uno en el Reino Unido. Creo que seria buena idea que escucharais alguno de sus temas... porque probablemente os guste y caigais en la misma trampa que cai yo. Esperemos que sus buenas canciones sigan llegando y no sea solo un par de exitos. Ahi van un par de videos con sus temas.
Did you know that Freemasons released two albums last year? And tht both of them are absolutely awesome? They are called 'Shakedown' and 'Unmixed'. 'Shakedown' is made of two CDs with lots of their latest remixes with Beyonce, Faith Evans, Luther Vandross to say just a few, set up as a session. 'Unmixed' is, of course, their original songs without being a session with vocalists like former 'Brand New Heavies' Siedah Garret. For me personally they are the best vocal house/dance albums ever. Completely timeless tunes to sing along and dance to endlessly. I cannot stop listening to them, especially 'Umixed'. Check them out right away, they are worth every single penny.
Sabias que los famosos remezcladores Freemasons' sacaron a la venta dos discos en el 2007? Y que los dos son absolutamente esenciales? Los albumes se llaman 'Shakedown' y 'Unmixed'. 'Shakedown' se compone de un doble CD con sus mejores y mas recientes remixes con Beyonce, Faith Evans, Luther Vandross solo por mencionar unos cuantos, montados en sesion. 'Unmixed', obviamente, es su coleccion de temas originales sin estar montado en sesion, con vocalistas como la ex 'Brand New Heavies' Siedah Garret. En mi opnion son los mejores discos de house/dance vocal que he escuchado nunca. Canciones que son clasicos instantaneos para cantar su son y ballar sin parar. No puedo dejar de escucharlos. Haceros con ellos si podeis, valen cada uno de los centimos que cuestan.
Alanis Morissette is back... and back in form too! Yay! Her first single 'Underneath' sounds very good. Even if I only listened to here album 'Flavors Of Entanglement' just once, it was enough to see that some of the wonders that we found in 'Jagged Little Pill' and 'Under Rug Swept' shine in this new album again. Slightly more bitter and insular than in her two previous albums, we find the Alanis that had more success, with her long hair to boot. By the way, I'm not sure if it's me, but time doesn't seem to pass for this woman. She looks gorgeous. Check out the new video for her latest single and enjoy.
Alanis Morissette ha vuelto y en plena forma. Viva! Su primer sencillo 'Underneath' suena genial y aunque solo he escuchado su nuevo disco 'Flavors Of Entanglement' una vez, algunas de las maravillas que escuchamos en 'Jagged Little Pill' y 'Under Rug Swept' brillan con fuerza en este ultimo trabajo. Algo mas punzante y insular que en sus dos ultimos trabajos, nos encontramos con la Alanis que tuvo mas exito y con su fantastico pelo largo de tambien vuelta. Por cierto, no se si soy yo, pero para esta mujer parece no pasar el tiempo. Se ve fantastica. Hechadle un vistazo a su nuevo video y disfrutadlo.
Coldplay have released their latest album 'Viva La Vida'. Their first single, 'Violet Hill' did sound pretty good... but not that great, so I didn't get all that excited. However, to my amazement, they performed the mentioned song and the song that gives title to their album, 'Viva La Vida'. Oh boy, it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. It made me get up and go to get the album right away. It's absolutely gorgeous... Makes me wonder why they bothered realeasing 'Violet Hill' altogether, as first single at least, instead of this gem... Give it a listen below and compare both! 'Violet Hill' first followed by 'Viva La Vida'. What do you think? Leave a comment!
Coldplay han sacado al mercado su nuevo trabajo de estudio 'Viva La Vida'. Su primer sencillo, 'Violet Hill' sono bastante bien cuando salio... pero no como para tirar petardos. sin embargo, para mi sorpresa, actuaron en un programa de entrevistas muy famoso en el Reino Unido donde tocaron 'Violet Hill' y la cancion que da titulo a su nuevo disco 'Viva La Vida'. Todavia se me pone la piel de gallina cada vez que la escucho. Me hizo levantarme y ir en busca del nuevo disco de inmediato. Es una autentica piedra preciosa. Esto hace que me pregunte porque se molestaron en sacar como sencillo 'Violet Hill', al menos como primer sencillo, en lugar de esta maravilla. Escuchadlas ahora aqui debajo y comparadlas! Primero 'Violet Hill' seguido de 'Viva La Vida' despues. Que os parece? Dejad comentarios!
I can't stop listening to the new single from Welsh singer Duffy. I loved 'Mercy', but this track's melody is just wonderful and the lyrics are lovely. Check it out, it iss delicious, even if a bit sad. I have been playing her album 'Rockferry' in the last few days as I got hooked to this song and it's worth a listen or twenty too. Check out the video and enjoy a bit of drama.
No puc parar d'escoltar la nova canço de la cantant galesa Duffy. Em va agradar molt 'Mercy', pero la melodia d'aquesta es meravellosa i la lletra una delicia. Escolteu-la, val la pena, tot i que es un pel trista. He estat escoltant el seu disc 'Rockferry' ja que estic enganxat a aquesta canço i tambe val la pena escoltar-lo un parell de vegades o potser vint. Mireu-vos el video i disfruteu una mica del drama.
I'm not sure if I should be a little bit ashamed, but the most exciting song on the radio at the moment is a single from Miley Cyrus called 'See You Again'. You might ask yourself who she is, but I'm sure at some point you heard about Disney's sensation Hannah Montana... well, I had never seen or heard much about her myself, but ask anyone under the age of 16 and for sure they will know all about her. Just a clue of how popular this girl is might be that it's reckoned she will be a Billionaire (with B) by the end of the year. And she is 15... Daughter of country singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus, to my surprise this girl has release a song so catchy I cannot get it off my head. Britney you better crack it on your next record, otherwise your possible successor will definitely throw you off your pop princess throne... Have a listen, not video yet, but at least you can see her on one of her TV shows.
No estoy seguro si debo tener un poco de verguenza al decir que estoy totalmente enganchado a una cancion que suena mucho en la radio estos dias de Miley Cyrus llamada 'See You Again'. Quizas os pregunteis quien es esa chica, pero estoy seguro que en algun momento en los ultimos doce meses habeis oido hablar de la sensacion Disney del momento, Hannah Monatna. Le podeis preguntar seguramante a cualquier adolescente por debajo de los dieciseis años de edad y seguro que lo sabran todo sobre ella. Para que os hagais una idea de lo popular que es esta chica, se calcula que sera Billonaria (con B) a finales de 2008. Y solo tiene 15 años de edad... Hija del cantante de country y actor Billy Ray Cyrus, esta chica me ha sorprendido sacando una cancion tan pegadiza que no me la puedo sacar de la cabeza. Britney ya puedes apretar el acelerador y que tu proximo disco sea la bomba, porque de lo contrario tu posible sucesora te desbancara definitivamente de tu trono de princesa del pop. Escuchad la cancion, que todavia no tiene video, pero con algunas imagenes de uno de sus programas de television para que os hagais una idea de como es ella.
After a lont time talking about if this movie was going to be made due to apparent feuds between the actresses or maybe if it was actually bothering to play with a succesful TV show turning into a big screen movie, Sex and the City hits our screens today. I wasn't one of the followers of this show when it was on, but somehow I got hooked on the very last ten episodes of season 6. And I can say, according to my friends too, that the movie was worth all the fuss and the time waiting for it to be made. It's funny, classy and with all the bits that made the TV show a complete success... and guess what? So was the soundtrack. I kept recognising different singers here and there from songs that matched what was on screen perfectly. You will find songs by Fergie, Jennifer Hudson (part of the cast), rockers Morningwood, lovely Jem, a remix of a Nina Simone song or Run DMC. Check it out if you get the chance.
Despues de mucho tiempo hablando sobre si esta pelicula llegaria a ser hecha, debido a aparentes enemistades entre actrices o quizas si realmente valia la pena volver a tocar una serie de television de tanto exito adaptandola y llevandola a la gran pantalla, Sexo en Nueva York a llegado a pantallas inglesas hoy. Yo para nada fui uno de los fans mas adeptos, pero por algun motivo me engancho los ultimos diez capitulos de la ultima temporada. Y puedo decir despues de haberla visto hace un par de horas, tambien segun mis amigos locos fans de la serie, que la espera valio la pena. Es divertida, con clase y con lo que hizo la serie de television tal exito... Y para mi sorpresa, tambien lo es la banda sonora. He ido reconociendo diferentes artista tal y como la pelicula iba pasando. Encontrareis entre los artistas a Fergie, Jennifer Hudson (una de las actrices), nuevos rockeros como Morningwood, la maravillosa Jem e incluso remix de una cancion de Nina Simone o Run DMC. Os la recomiendo como banda sonora.
Sara Bareilles might be a name that you never heard before... but might not be for long. I heard on the radio this song a few weeks back. And the more I listen to it the more I like it. Try to see if you can listen to it. It's definitely a song that grows on you and I have the feeling we will hear a lot more about her in the future. In the US she already release another song that sounds pretty good too called 'Bottle It Up'. See what you think.
Sara Bareilles es un nombre que quizas no signifique nada para ti o nunca lo hayas oido antes... pero no por mucho tiempo. Escuche esta cancion en la radio hace algunas semanas. Y la verdad es que cuanto mas la escucho mas me gusta. Es definitivamente un de esas canciones que mejora cuanto mas la escuchas y me parece que vamos a escuchar mucho mas sobre esta chica. En USA ha sacado ya otra cancion llamada 'Bottle It Up' que suena pero que muy bien tambien. Juzgad por vosotros mismos.
As I recommended during this week, the song 'Take A Bow' by Rihanna hits the number one spot in the UK Official Charts today. I learned from her official website that she will re-release her critically acclaimed 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album on 17/6/2008 with this and another couple of songs and a DVD with a behind the scenes. I guess they have to milk the cow to the maximum... Still, great song and deserved #1. Congrats Rihanna!
Como recomende esta semana pasada, la cancion 'Take A Bow' de Rihanna se ha apoderado del numero 1 en la lista oficial de exitos del Reino Unido. Veremos si ocurre lo mismo en el resto de Europa. Junto a esto, van a lanzar una nueva edicion de su disco 'Good Girl Gone Bad' que obtuvo fantasticas criticas el 17/6/2008 segun su pagina oficial, con un par de canciones nuevas y un DVD on un 'como se hizo'. Supongo que tienen que sacar de esto todo lo que puedan por no tener otro nuevo disco listo a tiempo... Merecido numero 1, asi que enhorabuena Rihanna!
Spanish singer Monica Naranjo released her new albun Tarantula, her latest studio work after her wonderful greatest hits. After listening to the CD a couple of times we can see that she went for topics other than love, talking about media or politics and maybe more about herself. 'Europa' is her new single, but I definitely would choose 'Amor y Lujo' as my favourite song by far. The rest of the CD is slightly different to what we are used to, it's quite good, but on the whole not sure if it would leave us satisfied as she did in other occasions. I add a video where you can see her singing the song 'Amor y Luojo' live with the contestants of this year's spanish Pop Idol, 'Operacion Triunfo'. I hope you like it!
Monica Naranjo saco a la venta no hace mucho su nuevo disco Tarantula, su ultimo trabajo de estudio despues de su fantastico grandes exitos. Despues de escucharlo un par de veces, podemos ver como esta vez no habla unicamente de desamores y se lanza a otros temas como politica o famoseo. Su primer single es 'Europa', pero yo me quedo claramente con 'Amor y Lujo'. El resto del CD tiene sus altos y bajos, bastante bueno en general, pero quizas no nos deja totalmente satisfechos como en anteriores trabajos. Ahi va un video de su actuacion en directo en el programa 'Operacion Triunfo' con los concursantes del 2008. Espero que os guste!
Yes, yes, yes! Tina Turner will be in Europe in 2009. For the ones who thought that we would never get a chance to see her live, we get a very last chance. Tickets on sale wednesday 28 May.

I have to share with you guys what I'm repeating on and on in my music player lately... I know it might not be the newest stuff or maybe it is, but it's defintiely hooking me up completely. Check it out and tell me if it happens the same with you.
Ahi va lo que tengo en 'repeat' en mi reproductor de musica... Quizas no es lo mas rabiosamente nuevo, o quizas si, pero es lo que me tiene enganchadisimo esta semana.
Without video available for blog, but worth checking out:
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats Celine Dion - Eyes On Me Leona Lewis - Better In Time
And a few with video:
Ne-Yo - Closer
Sam Sparro - Black & Gold (Kings Of The Universe Remix)
September - Cry For You (curious UK video, european version totally different)
Well, well. Rihanna is back and with an ace song written by Ne-Yo called 'Take A Bow'. I don't need to say that the song itself and the lyircs are great... but this woman looks great in this video too!
Vaya, pues tenemos a Rihanna de vuelta con una cancion compuesta por Ne-Yo llamada 'Take A Bow'. Letra muy buena, cancion muy buena... pero es que ella sale monisima otra vez!!!! Esta mujer es lo mas. Y esta semana entrada directa al numero 2 del UK charts.
