A hard-hitting hip-hop-influenced track and a mid-tempo ballad about lost love that could be directed to Chris Brown are among four tracks featured on a leaked clip of music from Rihanna's 'Unapologetic' album. The audio is not high quality, but it gives us our first big taste of what to expect from RiRi's seventh studio album.
Ellie Goulding, fresh off her breakup with DJ boyfriend Skrillex, has shared the previously unreleased song 'Only You' via ASOS.com. What makes this track so special is the fact that it comes with an interactive, shoppable music video.
Remember Skylar Grey? She co-wrote Eminem's 'Love the Way You Lie' and was preparing to release her own album 'Invinsible' last year? Then she sorta just…disappeared. Well, she is back and fully reinvented, trading her black-haired, lipstick-smeared gothy glam for dirty girl, biker chick chic. At least that's how she looks on the cover of her new single 'C'Mon Let Me Ride,' which features her old pal Em.
Whitney Houston continues to inspire people long after her untimely death on her new single, 'Never Give Up.' The uplifting tune, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, will appear on the greatest-hits collection, 'I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston.'
Christina Aguilera is stoked for 'Lotus' to hit shelves, and so are her fans. Xtina's tracks are being released, some unintentionally, little by little, and so far they haven't disappointed. The latest to leak? 'Let There Be Love,' which is a pure dance pop ditty.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Almost.
Although New York and New Jersey were dealt a striking blow thanks to "Frankenstorm" Sandy, one of the best ways to entertain yourself while the power's out and to find solace in this horrible natural disaster is through the use of music. Occasionally, many of these videos will be funny too, because with events like these, you need to bring a smile to peoples' faces. So sit back and enjoy the creativity that has sprung out of Hurricane Sandy's rampage up the East Coast.
Okay, quick show of hands: Who's ready for a little 'Gleased Lightning'?
Nicki Minaj compares herself to the Messiah in 'Freedom,' a new track off of her upcoming 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up."
