After over a year of delays, setbacks and public squabbles with Avicii, Leona Lewis finally released her third studio album, Glassheart, this week. Rejoice!
I’m not sure if I’ll get around to doing a proper review of the record since I have no time because I just moved and I’m like, living out of boxes and eating off of the floor or whatever (EXCUSES), but there’s one song in particular that I simply adore too much to ignore (aside from “Glassheart,” which remains a game-changer): “Shake You Up.”
It’s fall, which means two things in accordance with the laws of nature: The air’s getting cooler, and a new Rihanna era is beginning.
And just has she’s done for years now–with 2009′s “Russian Roulette,” with 2010′s “Only Girl (In The World),” and with 2011′s “We Found Love,” the Bajan beauty’s come guns blazing with a brand new beat for her Navy: “Diamonds,” penned by Sia and produced by Benny Blanco & Stargate.
From the very first moment, “Diamonds” presents itself as something entirely different from anything on the radio: It’s not the killer club cut many might have been expecting from the “We Found Love” songstress–instead, it’s a gorgeously soulful, triumphantly striding midtempo.
In case you didn’t know, everyone in the world is releasing music this week. And that doesn’t just include our favorite pop princesses: Dance floor titans are getting in on the action too.
Today, Deadmau5–or as Real Housewives of New York star Carole Radziwill might call him, Dead Mouse DJ–dropped his latest studio effort >album title goes here< , featuring collaborations with My Chemical Romance‘s Gerard Way, Cyprus Hill and, to my great delight, Miss Imogen Heap. (Eep…I know!)
And so, to celebrate the release…
Four years (and one baby girl!) since her last studio album Funhouse, punky pop princess P!nk has returned at long last with her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, which was released on September 18. (Yesterday!)
The record–which was largely produced by pop savant Greg Kurstin, as well as Billy Mann, Jeff Bhasker, Max Martin and Shellback–includes lead single “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” and current single “Try.” There’s also a bunch of collaborations, including “True Love” with Lily Allen–err, Lily Rose Cooper, “Here Comes The Weekend” with Eminem, and “Just Give Me a Reason” with Fun.‘s Nate Ruess. And then there’s my personal favorite: “Walk of Shame.”
And so, to celebrate the release…
Today, the Pet Shop Boys release their eleventh studio album, Elysium. It’s absolutely brilliant and, if I catch a moment in between running after Madonna across the country and awkwardly chatting with Britney via webcam, I’d love to do a proper review.
