Please just stop everything you are doing right now and watch this brand new music video from Kylie Minogue for her latest track Timebomb which dropped earlier today. Not only does she look completely amazing, this song is incredible. What a nice unexpected treat from one of my favorite ladies of pop.
Kylie Timebomb is available on iTunes now.

Ingrid Michaelson has been happily skipping along the border between indie and mainstream for a while now, and her new music video for Blood Brothers does a pretty good job of really straddling that line. In the video, a team of hair and makeup geniuses turn her into Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, Lady Gaga, Gene Simmons, Amy Winehouse, Beyoncé and David Bowie. It’s kind of cool, really, and the song is cheerful and pretty, just like Ingrid!
If you haven’t bought Sleigh Bells‘ album Reign of Terror yet, please do because it’s so damn sweet. They’ve finally released a music video the standout track, Demons, it’s way cool. That being said, they really need to make one for End of the Line because it’s by far the best song of the year!
If you haven’t heard of Kreayshawn yet … meh. I really have no strong feelings either way. Her first single Gucci Gucci was bizarre enough that it crossed over into being awesome, but after a while, it seemed like she was succeeding in spite of herself. Case in point: her new single, Breakfast (Syrup) (featuring 2 Chainz). Don’t get me wrong, it’s decent, but for the all the accolades she received off of Gucci, I wanted more than something that sounds like the end product of Minnie Mouse entering a battery eating contest.
Earlier today, Feist dropped a new music video for my favorite song off of Metals called Cicadas and Gulls, which true to the song’s nature, is pretty stripped down, as she plays on a street at night with a crowd behind her along with some vocalists backing her up. Also, there’s two guys who sort of dance in front of her the entire time. Which seems a bit … off. If this were the dubstep remix, I guess this would make more sense. Hmmmmm … actually, it sort of coalesces if you just go “wubwubwub” over it the whole time. Other than that, the song and video are both AMAZING.
I know a lot of people have been hating on Canadian singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado‘s latest single Big Hoops (Bigger The Better) but I think it’s totally fantastic and it’s one of my favorite tracks right now! I cannot wait for The Spirit Indestructible, her brand-new album, to drop next month on June 19th. Watch the music video below which was just released earlier this morning, Ms. Furtado looks super amazing, I really hope she’s planning a tour to promote the album, I still haven’t seen her perform live yet!
That’s right, Boyfriend is another song of the summer contender, this time from Justin Bieber. And I am incredibly confused by all of it. I’ll concede that Justin is plenty talented, but since I’m not the target demographic I don’t really listen to him. So Beliebers, humor me here: When did Justin’s voice break? He actually sounds grown up now, and it’s wrinkling my brain. Also, this one is on the music video’s makeup artist, but you really don’t need to put that much mascara on a man. Just putting that out there.
A few weeks ago we heard Cheryl Cole‘s fantastic new dance single Call My Name (produced by Calvin Harris), and now we’ve got the music video, shot right here in Los Angeles! I think Cheryl looks beyond fantastic plus the video is super hot! I can’t wait for Cheryl’s third studio album, A Million Lights to drop next month on June 18th over in the UK. Hopefully she’ll finally be able to break into the US music scene, she definitely has the potential (along with looks and talent) to become a global pop superstar.
Since we’re almost into May, it’s time for everyone to start releasing the videos for the summer songs that will invariably be played at every house party, barbecue, and prom this year. So with that in mind, here’s Rihanna throwing her hat into the ring with her music video for Where Have You Been (off Talk That Talk), which is bombastic and dubsteppy enough to take the crown of 2012′s song of the summer. Possibly.
I have no idea what I just watched, but I love it. Here’s the new music video for Nicki Minaj‘s latest single Starships (off her album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded), which features Nicki’s big ass bouncing around in a bikini, super sexy tattooed guys twirling fire, neon dancing people, along with something about aliens because hey, sure. Aliens. The video is pretty awesome and the song is hot too, so check it out!
