hey y’all! i’ve posted about estelle a number of times here on popbytes – i loved her last album shine (which spawned the smash grammy-winning hit american boy) now she’s getting ready to release her third album entitled all of me (due out this month) the first single (produced by david guetta) is called freak and features rapper kardinal offishall and samples soul II soul‘s 1989 hit song back to life – have a listen below and then take a look at the making of the video which i hope premieres soon (it was supposed to be out this past friday but got delayed) i do think the song is super hot – i definitely can’t wait to hear more new tracks from estelle! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo

good morning! has anybody else been loving the new sade album? apparently a lot of people are because it nabbed the top spot on the billboard charts – selling 500,000+ copies in its first week of release which is pretty amazing considering it’s their first release in ten years! (lovers rock peaked at #3 back in 2000) it’s a great album – totally relaxing – perfect for late-night chilling or sunday brunch! below is a remix (by konrad) of the first single and title track soldier of love – if you haven’t picked up your copy of the album yet – what are you waiting for?! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo

good morning y’all! today i wanted to highlight an emerging artist i first wrote about back in october of 2008 – janelle monáe (@janellemonae) i was in love with her song many moons off her EP release metropolis: the chase suite – now she’s ready to release her full debut album the archandroid on may 18th – two brand new tracks are circulating on the web right now – the first cold war which you can listen to below and tightrope featuring big boi (of outkast fame) which is playing on ms. monáe’s website! both tracks are excellent – leading me to believe this could be one of the hottest album releases this year! plus she’s touring – and will be swinging by los angeles on march 23rd & 24th at the viper room – i will definitely be at one of those shows! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo

good morning! please allow me to introduce you to my latest music obsession … the hot new single from goldfrapp called rocket which is off their upcoming 5th studio album head first – due out in march! this song has such a delicious ’80s vibe to it – i can totally picture olivia newton-john getting all ‘physical’ to these beats! i can’t wait to hear more new tracks from alison goldfrapp & will gregory! i didn’t mind their last album seventh tree but it’s kind of a sleepy record (someone said on twitter it’s perfect for sunday brunch) i’m totally betting this one will be getting people back on the dance floor again just like their 3rd album supernature did! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo

good morning! oh my gosh – it’s the very last monday of 2009 – for some reason i felt like throwing it back to one of my favorite songs from the previous decade … 1995′s wonderwall by oasis – i was never really a huge fan of the band yet there’s just something about this particular song that still gives me chills today (gosh it was so overplayed back in the day – now it’s bearable and pleasant again!) listen to a super hot remix below from swiss producer DVW! popbytes over and out for now … xoxo

good morning! i’ve been trying to work on my top ten favorite albums of the year (here’s my 2008 list) the initial list has been made but i’m torn whether to include rihanna or not … i’m in love with her new album rated R but when compared to her last effort good girl gone bad – it pales in comparison – however there really was no way to outdo that album … it’s one of my personal favorites and produced a number of amazingly hot pop singles!



it’s tough to narrow a year down to a mere ten albums – i’m totally going to have ‘honorable mentions’! at least i know which one’s going to take the top spot – an album i was obsessed with – listening to it 2-3x a day for literally three months straight (i know some of you might have a good guess!) the list will be posted right at the end of the month! for now please enjoy this smokin’ dance remix of rihanna’s russian roulette – i wasn’t overly crazy about this track when it first came out but it turned out to be a grower! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
