Hey all…. I’m not sure what’s going on with the “comments” feature with the blog. Seems that all the old comments are not showing up and we’re getting an error whenever anyone tries to write a new one. We’re trying to figure it out and will get things running back to normal soon.

I am absolutely in love with Rihanna’s new single “Stay“! She slayed it on the Grammyslastnight and today she’s released the accompanying visual for the beautiful ballad. The clip is very simple… Maybe a little too simple for my liking but it definitely captures the emotion of the song through Rihanna’s performance.
On a side note… I’ve been playing the new Liam Keegan & Anton Powers remix of “Stay” all weekend and had a pretty great dancefloor response to this gorgeous bootleg! Check it out…

My friend DJ Corey Craig is taking the exciting natural progression in his music career and will be transitioning into the coveted DJ/PRODUCER dual-moniker. Corey’s first full solo production that he helmed from scratch is a remix of Zedd’s “Clarity” which I must say will be getting a lot of spins in my sets from this day forward! A very impressive and clean production that sounds like it was constructed by a seasoned professional! If this first solo-production is a taste of what it yet to come from the new producer… I can’t wait to hear where his musical journey is heading!!
By the way, Corey has entered his mix into a “Clarity” remix contest! If you are a fan of this mix after taking a listen, please visit the contest page and vote for Corey’s work!
You guys weren’t feeling the Stooshe remake of TLC’s classic “Waterfalls” when I first posted the music video a few weeks ago, but I think you might like the Moto Blanco remix treatment a little better than the original! Take a listen…

Before there was Justin Timberlake, Usher, Adam Levine, or Justin Beiber… There was Tony Bennett! And Tony’s back y’all! The soulful crooner is gearing up to release his new Viva Duets album on October 22nd and has recorded the jazz standard “Steppin’ Out With My Baby” with none other than Christina Aguilera! Take a listen to the pair’s rendition of the classic tune in which Christina demonstrates why she is one of the top vocalists of our generation! She uses her voice in this duet the way it was meant to be used – With restraint and control!! Check it out…
Tony Bennett & Christina Aguilera – Steppin’ Out With My Baby:
As many of you may have already heard, CBS is planning on airing a Whitney Houston ‘Grammy Salute’ in November which will be a long overdue tribute to the late artist and will feature special performances by artists such as Jennifer Hudson, Britney Spears, Halle Berry and LL Cool J, just to name a few…
Usher is another star that will be paying tribute to the “I Will Always Love You” singer with a rendition of the Whitney Houston classic “I Believe In You & Me“. Footage of Usher’s performance has already leaked online and though no one quite does it like Whitney… Usher impressively held his own with the number and delivered a pretty solid take on the song!
David Guetta has just released the cinematic music video for his Sia assisted new single “She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)“! Any music video which features a poor helpless animal annihilating human poachers trying to hunt it is a winning clip in my book!!! Check it out…
I have another exciting exclusive for you guys! Take a listen to this BUMPIN’ Bit Error remix of P!nk’s ode to promiscuously, “Slut Like You“!! I’m praying that this remix means that this song is going to get the single treatment sometime in the near future! And if it does, this stellar production better be on the official remix package!
P!nk – Slut Like You (Bit Error Remix):

My friend, fellow DJ and music producer DJ Nikno has just unleashed his latest remix upon us… An amazing production that will undoubtedly have all you weekend ‘warriors’ raging on the dancefloor when it gets dropped into a DJ set! Nikno has taken on Mark Foster, A-Track & Kimbra’s collaboration “Warrior” and has submitted his mix into a remix contest being hosted by Converse for the song. Click on the link below, listen to Nikno’s remix and make sure you vote for his production if you’re feeling it (which I’m sure you will be)!
Whether you’re ready for it or not… Rihanna is ready to drop a new single on us your titled “Diamonds” this week and the pop princess has already started spinning the wheels of the hype-machine by unveiling the artwork and details about the new tune. I for one could probably use a break from Ri-Ri but she’s definitely generating some excitement among her ‘Navy’ leading up to the song’s Weds release date!
As you can see from the official artwork posted above, “Diamonds” will be a song about smoking blunts. OK, maybe not nut seriously… What is up with Rihanna’s obsession with being pop music’s “I’m not a role-model” artist lately? This artwork will definitely drum up some controversy and buzz but it just does not get me excited to hear the song it’s associated with at all! I’ll reserve judgement about the song till I hear it but I hope it’s better than packaging.
Speaking of the song… “Diamonds” was produced by Stargate – The production team responsible for her songs “Unfaithful,” “Don’t Stop the Music,” “Take A Bow,” “Rude Boy,” “Only Girl (In the World),” “What’s My Name” and “Talk That Talk“. Rihanna recently described the new single as a “laid back… Happy, hippie record“.
I’m hoping the song does well for Rihanna… Not to be a pessimist but in the past when she’s chosen “laid back” records as lead singles… They didn’t fair to well for the “We Found Love” singer. As a matter of fact, most of her mid/down-tempo records don’t do well for Rihanna lately. I guess we’ll have to wait till Weds to find out if her modern day “hippie” music soars or bores…
Check out the newly released music video for Calvin Harris’ Florence Welch assisted new single “Sweet Nothing“. Interesting video to say the least… If you’re into the whole dive bar lounge singer/stripper kinda thing – this is the video for you!
In a recent stop in Atlantic City on her MDNA tour, Madonna stunned fans when she dedicated her ballad “Masterpiece” to Lady Gaga and then went on to claim that she will be be sharing the stage with the “Edge of Glory” singer very soon. Of course most people are skeptical whether or not Madonna was being genuine with her remarks or if she was simply being a sarcastic pot-stirring diva. I can’t believe I’m saying this but being a long time Madonna fan, I really don’t think she was being sarcastic when she made reference to a Gaga collaboration.
Just humor me for a second and think about it… She said they will be “sharing a stage very soon” and she’s currently on the US leg of her tour. The last time Madonna was on tour in the US, she had a couple of on-stage cameos with appearances by Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Pharrell all in different cities. She’s also currently performing Gaga’s “Born This Way” as a mashup with her own hit “Express Yourself” on her record breaking tour, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if she reached out to Gaga and asked her to perform “B.T.W.” with her on stage to barry the hatchet once and for all about all this! I don’t know… I may be connecting some dots that don’t really connect here but I might not be too basis off either! What do you guys think? Are Madge’s remarks future revelations or pop-fiction?
On the heals of her fantastic VMA performance tonight (which I’m not going to post about because they were so bad that they aren’t worth me wasting the time over), P!nk has just dropped a new single titled “Try“! The new tune is more on the mellow side compared to her current hit “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” but definitely a solid effort from the pop-rocker! Take a listen to P!nk’s follow up to “Blow Me” and tell me what you think…
I’ll also post her VMA performance below since it’s one of two actually worth posting about…
