We were just across the way and saw this new song and video from Miguel entitled “Adorn.” The song and video is lifted from Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1 due out on February 27. Holy smokes, this song is some sensual goodness.

“‘Adorn’ is the first visual projection i’ll release inspired by a series of dreams I recently had,” explained Miguel, who also painted the album’s artwork.

Just watch and listen after because this is too good.

Of the handful of people who accused Lady GaGa of biting their style a couple of years ago, Irish artiste Róisín Murphy was one of them. Since the claims and a few loose single releases (“Orally Fixated“) Murphy has been somewhat quiet. That’s changed with the recent release of her song entitled “Simulation.”

Similar to “Orally…” the song is retro, disco and plain erotic. Lead by sex, the nine minute and ten seconds song is spread out with Murphy moaning and groaning over the bass thumping beat. We must say, the style of music does not match Murphy’s natural look. Like they say, looks can be deceiving, get NASTY after…

Elizabeth Grant bka Lana Del Rey has become a viral sensation with her vintage sonic style. We’ve always been captivated by “Video Games”; the song is just beautiful. Although, for some reason we just weren’t completely pulled in by this true artist.

Well, after the recent release of her latest single, “Born To Die,” we had no choice but to became a full fan of Rey. The haunting orchestral production sounds like some alternative urban tune then those retro vocals come in and just leaves the listener in a deep state of thought. Her new album, Born To Die, will be released at the top of 2012. Listen after…

After girl group ‘RichGirl’ failed to take off, member Lyndriette has stepped to the side and is pushing a solo career. The gorgeous girl premiered the first single entitled “Addicted” from her forthcoming EP, Proclamation.

“Addicted” is a nice radio-friendly midtempo song, written by Pooh and produced by The Globetrakkers. Unfortunately R&B is not what’s runnin’ up the charts despite this song sounding as pretty as its singer looks. Give “Addicted” a listen after…

It’s been over three years since we were introduced to KiD CuDi’s music. We broke away from the fandom of CuDi but still find interest in his latest projects. CuDi is teaming up with his longtime producer friend, Dot Da Genius, to release WZRD on January 30, 2012 (CuDi’s birthday). The first track from the project premiered last night.

WZRD will be a profanity-free rock infused album. From the sound of the first single, “Brake” is just that. Both Dot n CuDi are behind the productions this round.

CuDi stated, “WZRD is bringin Punk Rock back with a whole new energy and sound.” CuDi has long left the position of being a mainstream artist with an alternative appeal to just an artist, all about the music and not worried about the charts. This one is definitely a grower. Listen after…

French Electro Pop act’s, M83, gem (“Midnight City”) has crossed over into the mainstream. The striking tune is featured in the commercial for 2011′s Victoria’s Secret Holiday commercial. The 30 second spot features Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Lais Ribeiro, Erin Heatherton and Lindsay Ellingson. The commercial was shot in Prague… We smell crossover success for the Fench act.

This year’s VSFS (Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show) will have musical acts Kanye West, Cee-Lo Green and Maroon 5. The show is back home in New York, Miranda Kerr will wear the Fantasy Bra and oh, Karlie Kloss is 18 this year so there is a big chance she will be there. View the commercial below and video for the song after…

VV Brown was Travelling Like the Light her frist go ’round and now she is returning under Capitol Records, once again, for her sophomore LP. Garnering criticial acclaim in both the UK and US VV brings us the first single, “Children (Keep On Singing),” produced by Chuck Harmony.

The single features Chiddy of Chiddy Bang, samples the nursery rhyme “Do Your Ears Hang Low?” and comes complete with a single cover that looks very similar to Nicki Minaj. Aside from the ditty sound of the song it’s about the youth and their aspirations of material wealth being top priority. The song was also inspired by this past summer’s London riots. Take a listen to the new tune below, which displays a heavier vocal style from Brown.

Party Rockers, LMFAO sweeped the summer’s Top 40 radio stations and dancefloors with their #1 hit, “Party Rock Anthem.” Whether the song was your addiction or you loathed it, one thing’s for sure, the song was everywhere.

Listening to their sophomore album, Sorry For Party Rocking, none of the songs stand out like the former but there are still some decent dancefloor-ready tunes. The group is gearing up to release “One Day” as their next single.

“P.R.A.” is most likely the highlight of the album but “One Day” has a feel good vibe to it and will definitley bring energy to any club. Take a listen below…

UK Pop tart, Pixie Lott debuted with the UK #1 single “Mama Do” back in 2009 and now the the entertainer is gearing up for her sophomore album. As part of a re-release of Turn It Up, Lott released the attractive “Broken Arrow” late last year. But now, seems like a shorter haircut and a lot of black will make up her image this sophomore round. The first single to be luifted from the project is “All About Tonight.”

“All About Tonight” is an amazing Pop song. The song is catchy, uptempo, boasts a giddy yet pretty melody and the lyrics are sensible enough without the instrumental. Just by the way the song sounds you want to rock your head to it until falls off. Listen below and watch the video after…

For the past few days, Frank Ocean’s unreleased cut, “Thinking About You,” has been playing constantly through our speakers. The song is everything we love about Beyoncé’s ”I Miss You” with its hypnotic pattern. We’re huge supporters of Mr. Ocean but not everything he releases is our sup of tea but this little song does it for us.

The following day, RocNation signee, Bridget Kelly, surfaces with a version of her own entitled “Thinking About Forever.” No idea where Kelly’s version will end up, whether it be for an EP or an LP.

We just have to compare the two… Ocean’s demo just takes the cake this round. Maybe because his version surfaced first and because the sound of the song is so him. Kelly’s rendition just seems bland especially for someone who has some strong vocals.
