Looks like Kendrick Lamar is going to shoot music videos for all of the tracks on his latest album “To Pimp a Butterfly”. And when I say all, I mean ALL – even the interludes! Lamar premiered official music video for “For free? (Interlude)” last night, July 31, on VEVO. I’m sure you would think a…

It is one of the most covered songs in history (might be exaggerating a bit but whatever…) yet Kelly Clarkson hadn’t covered it yet… until last night, July 30th, in Indiana. I’m talking about Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”, whose nakedness-filled music video a lot of us can’t get off our minds yet.…

I’m slayed. In rare television appearance, Ms. Lauryn Hill performed a cover of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” classic on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC last night, July 30. Lady in black Lauryn, accompanied by her all-wearing-black-too band and back up singers, amazed Jimmy,…

The disappointment continues… Havana Brown released her new single “Battle Cry” featuring Bebe Rexha last week, which despite its exciting snippet turned out to be a musical disappointment due to its messy structure, and insipid sound, and today (July 30) the official music video, directed by The…

I have the feeling newcomer Alessia Cara is going to give Def Jam a lot of joy in the coming years. For instance, I’m totally sure her debut single “Here” will be nominated for “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year” at next year’s Grammy Awards and that Alessia will be a nominee in the “Best…
