Infernal 'I Won't Be Crying'

Third UK single from Scandinavian dance hit duo, hot dancefloor power anthem I Won't Be Crying is due for release on May 21st (my birthday!). The video for this single is on high rotation on music channels and looks sure to be a hit following previous singles Self Control and From Paris To Berlin.

1. I Won't Be Crying
2. I Won't Be Crying (Extended)
3. I Won't Be Crying (Beatfreakz remix)

Ash 'You Can't Have It All'

The Irish threesome with the amazing sense of melody, Ash, return with their sixth album Twilight Of The Innocents, and is headed by returning to form single You Can't Have It All, which sounds like vintage Ash. I thought it would be interesting to see how the departure of guitarist Charlotte Hatherley would affect the band's sound; it seems like they've decided to move away from their hard edge they took with 2004's Meltdown album.

1. You Can't Have It All
2. Burn Baby Burn (Acoustic)

Nelly Furtado 'Say It Right' remixes

Small reminder of Nelly Furtado's Say It Right, a US Billboard #1 single, and also the only UK Top Ten to never have been released in a physical format (so far). Inspired by the recent reggae style remixes that have recently circulated.

1. Say It Right (Instrumental)
2. Say It Right (Extended)
3. Say It Right (feat Jay Vega)
4. Say It Right (Reggae mix)
5. Say It Right (Reggae drop mix)
6. Say It Right (Dave Aude club mix)

Tori Amos 'Big Wheel'

New single from Tori Amos, from upcoming American Doll Posse album.

Big Wheel

Marilyn Manson 'Heart Shaped Glasses'

The brand new electro-rock single from Brian Warner and co... from his upcoming album Eat Me, Drink Me. Sounds a bit retro... a slight after taste of the Mechanical Animals sound is tangible on occasion, but also sounds contemporary.

Heart Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand)

Andrea Corr 'Hello Boys'

Leaked from sessions for Andrea Corr's upcoming debut album Teen Feet High, is Hello Boys which sees her rescind everything Corrs-like about her and go for an electro-Rachel Stevens-meets-Garbage-b-side sound. This track is the opener from the album, which is due out in June, preceded by single 24 Hours and is produced by Nellee Hooper, notable for his production work with Garbage, Gwen Stefani, Bjork, U2 and Madonna, and for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet.

Hello Boys

Rihanna feat Jay-Z 'Umbrella'

I wasn't, to be honest, that much of a fan of her stuff last year. Unfaithful dragged for ages, and SOS had really weak production which for me ruined the song, otherwise I'd have been on her bandwagon a long time ago. You should by now know my feelings for Umbrella. I fucking love it. It deserves to be HUGE (lovin' the Zombie-like 'eh eh oh oh' singing).
Also just recently leaked Hate That I Love You which features Ne-Yo and is also from her J new album Good Girl Gone Bad due for release in June. I'm re-uploading these cause previous links expired, and of course, cause I love it and want it to get as much exposure as possible.

1. Umbrella (Radio edit)
2. Umbrella (Radio edit feat Jay-Z)
3. Umbrella (Instrumental)
4. Umbrella (Extended version)

5. Hate That I Love You (feat Ne-Yo)

Lumidee 'She's Like The Wind'

New single from r'n'b mistress Lumidee, a cover of Patrick Swayze's Dirty Dancing hit She's Like The Wind. Currently riding high in the US Charts, sure to go far over here soon.

She's Like The Wind (feat Tony Sunshine)

The Killers 'For Reasons Unknown'

The next single from the unit-shifting Sam's Town will be For Reasons Unknown, and will be released in the UK in June. Both previous singles Bones and Read My Mind, despite being huge radio hits, failed to go Top 10 in the UK.. probably because everyone and their dog bougth the album when it came out; a phenomenon currently also affecting the Scissor Sisters Ta-Dah! singles. Lets see if this tune change that....

1. For Reasons Unknown


2. Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars Are Blazing mix)
3. Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys radio edit)
4. When You Were Young (Freeform 5 remix)
5. When You Were Young (Jacques Lu Cont TWD mix)
6. Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont TWD mix)
7. Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont TWD radio edit)

Fun Lovin' Criminals feat Shirley Manson 'Korean Bodega'

In anticipation of Shirley Manson's upcoming debut solo album, I am posting a collaboration between Fun Lovin' Criminals and Garbage from 1999. This remix features Shirley Manson on guest vocals. Also posted the Fun Lovin' Criminals returning the favour by jazzing up Garbage's single You Look So Fine which features a competely new husky vocal from Shirley.

1. Korean Bodega (Aero Mexicana remix)
2. Korean Bodega (Aero Mexicana remix - clean version)
3. You Look So Fine (Fun Lovin' Criminals version)

Shirley has been working with David Arnold, Greg Kurtsin, Beck, Paul Buchanan, Billy Corgan and Jack White on her debut album which is due out at the end of the summer.

Nelly Furtado 'Maneater (Alternate version)'

Picked this up today, thought I'd post it. I'm not too sure if this is official or if soemone has been highly bored and rearranged the track to show iff. I quite like it, it seems to work, it's less boom boom boom and more nyet nyet nyet...........(lol)

Maneater (Alternate version)

The Veronicas 'When It All Falls Apart'

These girls will be continually promoted by their UK fans, Aunty Steven and myself, until they head to these shores and release their record and play a gig!!!!!! This single has been on UK single release listings for at least 6 months, and deserves a release - their album is a pop hybrid of Kelly Clarkson, Pink and Ashlee Simpson... with added pink ribbons.

1. When It All Falls Apart
2. We're Not Gonna Take It
3. When It All Falls Apart (Lost In Space mix)
4. 4 Ever (Pink Noise remix)
5. Everything I'm Not (Claude Le Gache remix)

PS if you have ever fucked everything up in a relationship, any relationship, then When It All Falls Apart is for you. In fact if this happened recently you might be heartbroken again after listening. I'm still getting goosebumps and it's been over a month for me.

Amy Winehouse 'Back To Black'

Third single from the UK's biggest selling female solo artist this year, and there seem to be no stopping her is there? Despite not quite as catchy as previous efforts, this doom laden tune is sure to a big hit these shores. The B-side Valerie I've already bigged up previously, and this track will also be on producer Mark Ronson's sophomore album Version which came out this week. Originally by The Zutons, this track has been given the sixties girl group treatment by Ronson.

1. Back To Black
2. Valerie
3. Back To Black (The Rumble Strips remix)
4. Back To Black (Steve Mac vocal mix)
5. Back To Black (Mushtaq vocal mix)

Kylie Minogue: 2007 Demos

Both of these demos leaked in March 2007, and with a multitude of controversy surrounding them. The first leak Excuse My French was originally incorrectly being labelled as Kylie's new comeback single. The truth was - it wasn't. It was also labelled as new Kylie material, which indeed it is but this was to later be denied by Parlophone in a blind panic following the discovery of the tracks leak. Within no time Parlophone were informed of the leak as was Kylie's management team Terry Blamey Management. In a panic at the leakage of this new material they informed all parties questioning the song that it was actually an "Old demo" and that in fact it wasn't Kylie singing. They claimed it was a session singer used to sound like Kylie for demo purposes. This process is where a demo is recorded with a session singer recorded to sound like the intended artist so the song can be presented to the artist and record label so they can gauge an idea of how the finished product could sound if the intended artist recorded it. Now, whilst this session singer sound-a-like process is actually common practice in the demo process of big artists in this instance it is not the case. Parlophone then went on an all out mission to try and convince fans that what they were actually hearing on Excuse My French was actually not Kylie and an old demo. This of course was to throw fans off the scent and prevent more downloads. This, of course, does not really work with fans as, be it old or new material, a newly leaked track is the talk of the fan base and will be widely downloaded regardless of what is said. A day after the leakage of Excuse My French came another leak in the form of clip of a song entitled When The Cat's Away. The same, as described above applies to this song however the vocals on When The Cat's Away are a session singer used to replicate Kylie's vocal style. The full version of When The Cat's Away eventually leaked three weeks later. Either way, both tunes are brilliant and even as demos are better than a lot of other pop princesses best tunes.

1. Excuse My French
2. When The Cat's Away

Maroon 5 'Makes Me Wonder'

Brand new single from This Love singers Maroon 5, it's a little bit different for them but is pure summer pop as you would expect. Due out on May 14th with album to follow a week later.

Makes Me Wonder (Radio version)

Eric Prydz Vs Madonna 'Papa Don't Preach'

Possibly gonna be the Prydz next big single, I picked this up on a remix blog recently, thought I'd share it..... Papa Don't Preach

The Bravery 'Time Won't Let Me Go'

Am I the only one thinking that The Bravery have suddenly turned into the Oasis circa 1995 with Bono on lead vox? Either way, it worked and I'm really into this new tune due out end of May in the UK. I do miss their Sonic The Hedgehog style tunes fromt heir last album, but hey, I can get that from Timbaland just now so my fix is satiated.

1. Time Won't Let Me Go (Radio edit)

Justin Timberlake 'Summer Love'

I FUCKING LOVE THIS!!!!! I think it's the best song off JT's album, all slinky smooth and sexie. Came out in the US today, and is due out at the start of June over here, I'm really happy that they have chosen this song after two rather boring (IMHO) songs. Also here is a leaked song Guess What featuring Bubba Sparxx which appeared at the weekend.

1. Summer Love (Radio Edit)
2. Guess What

Melanie C 'Carolyna'

I really think Melanie shoulda started her album off with this song, a feel good Summertime song, instead of I Want Candy, but alas..she's releasing it as her second single. Definetly deserves to go top 10, although the Spice Girls recent track record suggests it will struggle. Due out June 11th.

Carolyna
