MuuMuse Approved Tracks for the Week of January 23, 2011
5. Koda Kumi – POP DIVA
J-Pop temptress Koda Kumi’s gone bolder than ever on her 49th single! “POP DIVA” is a brag-filled outburst of pounding beats and wild screeches that rides atop a stinging bass-line similar to the Far East Movement’s “Like A G6.” It’s noisy, it’s erratic–but ultimately, it’s utterly Kumi. (LISTEN)
4. Adam Tyler – I Won’t Let You Go
Up-and-coming L.A. musician Adam Tyler returns with his second single–a gorgeous, heartbreaking electro-pop scorcher that builds and builds with intensity as the song progresses. One to watch in 2011! (LISTEN)
3. Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor (feat. Pitbull)
Kicking off her latest stint as a judge on American Idol’s tenth season, J-Lo premiered the first single from her upcoming album, LOVE?, to radio this week. The spicy songstress enlisted Gaga hit-maker RedOne to produce this floor filler, which capitalizes on all the popular club sounds of late, including the European pulsations of Yolanda Be Cool’s “We No Speako Americano” and Edward Maya’s “Stereo Love.” It’s no “Waiting For Tonight,” but it’s still a proper call to arms. Take it on the floor! (LISTEN)
2. Mya – Fabulous Life
The time is now! Mya seizes the day in this glittery, gleeful electro-pop confection co-produced by J-Pop mastermind Jeff Miyahara and Swedish sensation, Fredro. While this pop treat may only be released in Japan, “Fabulous Life” packs more than enough sparkle and shines to provide universal appeal. (LISTEN)
1. Neon Hitch – Get Over U
You haven’t even debuted yet, and you’re already making me cry at the discotheque? Of all the bad girls, you’re badder than most, Neon Hitch. With sad, stomping synthesizers ourtesy of Benny Blanco and a sorrowful vocal melody contributed by co-writer Sia, “Get Over U” plays like a 2011 continuation of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” proving that the upcoming debut by this whimsical pop gypsy is definitely worth waiting for. (LISTEN)
And now for something completely frivolous.
Here is the video for Enrique Iglesias‘ new single, “I Like It,” featuring Pitbull and the illustrious cast of Jersey Shore.
I am posting this for two reasons, and two reasons only: (A) Because Enrique is sofa king hot it’s insane, and (B) because I wish Snickers and J-Woww were my best friends. Also, the song is somewhat catchy.
Enrique’s new album, Euphoria, will be released on July 6.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING: A PUSSYCAT DOLL HAS JUST DONE SOMETHING AMAZING.
“Candy” is the upcoming single by Aggro Santos, an up-and-coming urban-electro artist from Londontown. The song features vocals from Kimberly Wyatt, otherwise known as the one who did the leg-in-the-air bit at the end of each Pussycat Dolls video.
Though the debut solo song Wyatt recently posted on YouTube (“Not Just A Doll”) is more of an annoying, defiant “Suck it, Nicole Scherzinger” sort of song, “Candy” is an instantly delicious stomp fest.
Even if “Candy” sort of sounds like a standard Pitbull song in the verses, it’s the infectious ear-worm that is the chorus (“Come and get you some, come and get you some candy”) that elevates this song from modern radio pop to speaker burning brilliance.
I cannot wait to hear the song in full!
“Candy” will be released on May 10 in the UK. Click here to visit Aggro Santos’ official website.
This is a teaser clip of the Babes’ upcoming single, “Get Sexy,” due to premiere this Tuesday on Radio 1. No word on if it’s the final version or not (what with the constant male voice included), but it is indeed the new single.
On the plus side, the line “Just shut up and watch me walk.”
On the con, the fact that the Babes have essentially re-recorded and combined the Black Eyed Peas‘ “Boom Boom Pow” with Pitbull‘s “I Know You Want Me.”
I’m not sure whether to start dancing or be embarrassed yet. Until I hear the whole mess, I’m leaning toward the latter.
