Alex Gaudino & Kelly Rowland - What A Feeling | 2011 from The Kelly Rowland Network on Vimeo.

Europe is treating Ms. Rowland quite well. She looks great, and better yet she looks happy.

New Music Video - Frankmusik ft. Far East Movement "Do It In The AM"

Just Cause - Young Magic "Sparkly"

I love the Native American ceremonial sound this has.

The video is so simple and honest.

Foreign Friday - El General

"Hamada Ben Amor, 21, better known as El Général, the Tunisian rap star whose song "Rais Lebled" is credited with helping inspire the uprising in his country that overthrew President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. The song, which includes blunt allegations of government corruption, also became the anthem of protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square"

The intensity in his flow reminds me of Eminem. I would really like to know what he is saying.

Foreign Friday - Allie Hughes

I was going to not be lazy and describe her with my own words, but this is so much better.
"How does one classify Allie Hughes? The only way to really find out is to go to her show before she gets big and starts shooting laser beams from her fingers. If you’re planning to catch Allie Hughes’ live show in the near future, consider bringing a comrade for emotional and physical support. You might start crying and questioning your sexuality or you may forget to breathe, causing you to fall to a heap from lack of oxygen to the brain. In true trendsetting form, Toronto’s freshest weirdo pop princess has created a perfect hybrid between genre-bending alt-pop and the most engaging elements of a budding musical theatre career."

Foreign Friday - When Saints Go Machine

After a much needed vacation, I have returned to exploring random music. First up, When Saints Go Machine. This band from Copenhagen, Denmark makes the type of pop music that is hard to call pop. Typical of European, especially Swedish, pop, the music tends to be smarter, more experimental, and honestly better. You can check out their tracks here. And download "Fail Forever" here.
