The quirky and electic Brazilian Girls which consists of three men (Didi Gutman on keyboards and computers, Jesse Murphy on bass and Aaron Johnston on drums) and one woman (Sabina Sciubba, the vocalist) have struck a chord with us. Despite not a single member being Brazilian, their music makes us want to move to Brazil in a heartbeat.
We just recently came across “L’Interprete” which means interpreter in French. The song is quite short but we enjoy every single second of it; this is organic music at it’s best. The acoustic guitar and the way that accent rolls off of Sciubba’s tongue is pure beauty. Eventhough Brazil does not have too much to do with this song we couldn’t help but use a picture of Adriana Lima.

So the Beyoncé/Lady GaGa collaboration has commenced, starting with the leak of the extended version of “Video Phone,” the single. The song is the eighth single from I Am… Sasha Fierce and the video, directed by Hype Williams, will premiere on November 23, 2009.
No great deal of difference here. The song now has an added intro consisting of flutes and music that would be played during a western showdown. The song then progresses into the original with GaGa’s verse appearing half-way through the song. Her voice suits the song and gives the song a bit more appeal. The song ends with an instrumental break which makes it obvious that the song was edited for a video that will consist of a whole lot of choreography.
The next phase of Beyoncé/Lady GaGa oversaturation will be for GaGa’s “Telephone” which will serve as the second single from The Fame Monster. That means another music video with the duo. It’s too coincidental that both of their songs have to do with phones or is it all a plan. Lord knows that this unlikely pairing is to boost sales and everything else money related.
UPDATE: Just a short while ago “Telephone”, produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, leaked. The song was originally for Britney Spears before GaGa got a hold of it for The Fame Monster.
An electropop song this is. It’s exactly what we thought this would sound like but at the same time it’s sort of different than we imagined. GaGa is the standout in the track just as she added the appeal in “Video Phone.” Beyoncé’s vocal style in this song isn’t exactly what we’d call complementary. The song is not amazing but it will surely have the GaGa stans going crazy and will grant both more fans.
So are you all ready for a third helping of Lady GaGa. “Paparazzi” has been chosen as the third single from The Fame. Originally, “Love Game” was to be the third single but the label wanted to play it a little safer. Paparazzi is definitely one of the highlights from The Fame with the thumping bass and catchy hook.
Still on the promo trail in London Lady GaGa hit up London’s Capital FM radio station to produce another one of her acoustic renditions. This one is pretty dramatic with its 1:30 intro of piano playing and rearrangement of the melody. Thumbs up to GaGa because most who take their first glance at her think she’s another manufactured pop product but then they see she has a lot more talent. Whilst she does come off a little pretentious it can be overlooked cause she seems to be a sweetheart. Check out the acoustic and original versions of “Paparazzi” below.
