Wynter Gordon and Steve Aoki have a little score to settle between themselves: You see, they’re having a bit of a lover’s quarrel. (Or, as Dannii Minogue would say, a love fight.)

In the Mr. & Mrs. Smith-inspired clip for Aoki’s dubstep-happy “Ladi Dadi (feat. Wynter Gordon),” a track off his brand new album Wonderland, Gordon (who’s looking utterly ravishing, by the way!) and her love interest, Mr. Aoki, have more than just an eye for each other–they’ve got a fist, teeth and a whole lot of blood too.

From decadent dinner to all-out blood bath in mere seconds, this shit gets serious fast. Look at Wynter twirling those blades! And then that stair scene–oof! And then the balcony–OW! Fists flying everywhere…MERCILESS!

I still can’t tell whether or not this one was a fair fight (Wynter didn’t even get a chance to take off her earrings!), but I do know that Mizz Gordon is a fierce glamazon warrior who knows how to serve Kill Bill realness and throw the fuck down.

Pop ladies, you might need more than a few wig fasteners when Wynter comes through with new tunes in 2012.

FIERCE VIDEO ALERT.

Ka-chinggg! Check out the fabulously vintage clip for Wynter Gordon‘s “Buy My Love,” which just premiered earlier today on LOGO.

Co-starring Zelda Williams and Tristan Wilds, Gordon’s latest video finds an absolutely gawgeous Gordon twirling ’round sequins, bangles and shoulder pads while trying on couture galore in a vintage knick-knack shop. As the Pet Shop Boys would say: We’re S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we’re shopping.

And oh–the choreography! So fierce! The side shuffles. The peace signs. That Brit Brit “Circus”-like arm-through-arm move. The butt slap. So, so tight! And speaking of, um…that stomach, Wynter? GIRL. You FIT.

The video is a perfectly cheeky blend of ’80′s nostalgia and modern fresh-to-deathness. I absolutely love it!

I guess what I’m most trying to say is that this is basically like one amazing ode to the entire vintage shop/dressing room scene in The Sweetest Thing, which is basically one amazing ode to Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles and every other ’80′s romantic teen comedy ever.

And all that makes me one very, very happy boy.

Check it out! It’s your first look at the upcoming video for Wynter Gordon‘s next single, “Buy My Love,” which was shot in L.A. and directed by Bec Stupak. The video will include appearances bys Tristan Wilds of 90210 and up-and-coming actress Zelda Williams.

Looks to me like the “Dirty Talk” chanteuse is going on a rummage through a vintage shop for some sweet new finds! Looking hot, hot, hot Ms. Wynter! Oh, just one thing: I’m not mad that you’re wearing my golden shimmer hot pants…I just wish you would have asked me first before borrowing them, that’s all.

And remember: You may not be able to buy her love…but you can still buy her music!

If you’re not already familiar with the musical stylings of Ms. Kimberly Cole, prepare to be schooled.

The former artistic roller skating champion (no, really–here’s the proof), former opener for acts including Katy Perry and LMFAO and one-fourth of soon-to-be pop group, Kimberlegend first struck it big last year with the release of “Smack You,” a feisty, bitchy electro-pop punch that found the California-born chanteuse talking trash and throwing ‘bows with some of the meanest hoes around. The full-on ‘tude track soon led to an official partnership with the Oxygen Network’s all-female, all-drama answer to Jersey Shore: The Bad Girls Club.

“Smack You” wound up traveling well beyond the Bad Girls Club promo commercials cycling on the Oxygen channel, eventually climbing to an impressive #4 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Charts last summer.

Following her lead single’s success, Cole then went on to release her debut record (and Oxygen Network’s first ever co-branded album) in December of 2010: Bad Girls Club, a sassy filth-fest of deliciously trashy, brazen electro-pop cuts about three-ways and vibrators. You know…only the finest things in life!

Now, the singer has taken a quick breather from smacking up bitches to jump into the studio with House DJ/producer Eddie Amador in order to cook up a brand new cut for 2011.

Kimberly Cole – Arrow Through My Heart (Preview) by muumuse

Click above to listen to an Excluusive 1-minute extended preview of Kimberly Cole’s new single, “Arrow Through My Heart,” which will be released in August 2.

The track finds Cole playing the temptress atop a searing, dub-laden dance floor throb. But don’t try and impress her with your money, ’cause she don’t want your dollar bills: “Give me something I can feel,” Cole cries out. “Push your arrow through my heart!” Bulls-eye!

After the release of “Arrow Through My Heart,” Cole will ring in a newly inked deal with Big Beat/Atlantic Records (home of MuuMuse fave Wynter Gordon!) with the release of her first major label single later this year.

It was right after she first began posting demos on her MySpace–songs like 2007′s spacey “Surveillance” (which remains as next level today as it did the day she unleashed it upon the world), that I first took notice of Wynter Gordon, the 23-year-old underdog with a superstar’s worth of potential waiting to be unleashed each time she lays a pen to paper.

Just a few years after graduating from LaGuardia’s High School for the Performing Arts (alma mater of such notable acts as Kelis and Nicki Minaj), the young songstress had already notched herself a major writing credit with “Gonna Breakthrough,” a song from Mary J. Blige‘s Grammy Award-winning seventh studio album, The Breakthrough.

Ever since then, the co-writes and features (and unfortunately, the myriad leaks) only kept flowing for Wynter securing a spot on Danity Kane‘s 2008 sophomore record, Welcome To The Dollhouse (“2 Of You”), penning the impossibly catchy chorus of Flo-Rida‘s chart-topping 2009 radio smash “Sugar” and David Guetta‘s “Toyfriend,” joining The Freemasons on their essential 2010 summer jam “Believer” and, most recently, scribing three tracks off of Jennifer Lopez‘s stellar 2011 comeback record LOVE? including title track, “(What Is) Love?”

But despite all of her success as a writer, the song that truly launched Wynter as an artist in her own right was 2010′s “Dirty Talk,” a filthy-mouthed foray into kinky taunts and raunchy references to S&M above a dark disco beat that debuted nearly a year before Rihanna ever started crooning about her enthusiasm for chains and whips.

The song not only notched the singer’s first-ever #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play stateside, but kept her straddling Australia’s ARIA Chart at #1 for three weeks in January (and the duration of Australia’s summer season).

Now, nearly four years since she first started making ripples across the blogosphere and beyond, the Queens-born singer/songwriter has finally released her long-awaited, much delayed debut: The fabulously titled With The Music I Die.

You know when you’re looking for that video from one of your faves that perfectly encapsulates why you go hard for them? For Wynter Gordon fans, this is that video.

Click above to watch Miss Gordon effortlessly flip Katy Perry‘s springtime smash “E.T.” on its head with this hypnotizing acoustic cover, performed at a private concert in Sydney last weekend.

Killer vocals, incredible improvised riffs…it’s just awe-inspiring. Chills!

We love you, Wynter!

Dear Australia,

Tomorrow (Friday, June 17 for clarification, because I don’t get you with your frivolous time zones and the whole kangaroo thing), singer-songwriter/MuuMuse favesie Wynter Gordon will be releasing her debut LP, With The Music I Die.

With The Music I Die is a great album–nay, an amazing album, and it will almost undoubtedly land somewhere high on my Top 10 of 2011 list–that is, unless Britney Spears releases 9 more albums this year.

As a result, I’m urging you now:

BUY THIS RECORD.

Cherish it. Play it until your iPod dies, and then play it on your computer while your iPod is charging, and then play it over and over on your iPod until it dies again. AND THEN GET SOME FOOD BECAUSE YOU JUST FORGOT TO EAT, IDIOT.

Because she deserves it. And you deserve it. And we deserve it. And if you don’t buy it, you’re literally dead to me.

A more formal review is on its way for next week.

With The Music I Die is released on June 17 in Australia. (iTunes Australia)
