X Factor Video Wrap Up

February 28, 2012 Music Reviews No comments

It’s raining X Factor news these days with some highly anticipated releases coming up. A quick overview.

Marcus Collins, the runner up from this years contest is currently promoting his first single ”Seven Nation Army”, followed by his first album a good week later. Now when we reviewed the video a few weeks back we said we weren’t sure but thanks to radiostation Gaydar we have discovered the Cutmore Radio Edit of ‘Seven Nation Army’ which has given it much more punch and is right up our street. We hope it’s included on the EP, so we can buy it straight away. So check it out the video for your own verdict!

 

While Marcus is up for his very first single, the runner up of the X Factor in 2010, the lovely Rebecca Ferguson, released her album ‘Heaven’ back in December and is ready to release the 2nd cut ‘Too Good To Loose’. It’s without a doubt the track which will come closest to her rendition of ‘Sweet Dreams’ on the X Factor. The vocals of Rebecca are simply outstanding, absolutely pure class. Not quite the video expected of the song, but it fits it amazingly. If you haven’t got it on pre-order yet, or bought the album I suggest you do.

 

And while we’re at it, we also have news of X Factor 2009 runner up, Olly Murs who told us a few weeks ago, he’s releasing ‘Oh My Goodness’ as the 3rd cut from his second album already ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’. Mr Murs,  who lost out on a Brit Award last week for ‘Song of the Year’, has now revealed the video for the jazzy swing-pop song which sees him making the Westfield Shopping Centre unsafe to find a girl he has laid his eyes on. Go Get’er Olly! Great vocals from Olly, and definately one of the highlights chosen for his new single, which will be out April, 1.

 

Enjoy!

 

This week’s music news in a nutshell

February 10, 2012 Daily News No comments

It’s been a busy week in music land. A few bullet points.

Main news over the week has been Madonna’s smashing Superbowl performance with M.I.A, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO & Cee Lo Green. The queen of pop’s interval sees the amount of viewers triple during half time and figures on Youtube continue to rise. You can watch the performance here. Little incident however with M.I.A as she puts up her middle finger, which forces NBC to apologize towards its viewers. Madonna has been said not to be amused and M.I.A is apparently to be asked to pay a fine. In the mean time, the pre-order option for MDNA has made the album number 1 in 50 countries, while the new single ‘Gimme All Your Lovin’’ is steadily going to the top of the charts. Earlier this week, rumours were said that Britney Spears would appear on one of the tracks but today the news was called a rumour by Madonna’s management.

Plenty of news in regards to releases as well. 16 years have passed but now Brandy and Monica have released a new duet together, called ‘It all belongs to me’. It doesn’t quite sound as ‘The Boy is Mine’ but it is infectious. Jedward are taking part in this year’s Irish selection for Eurovision, with ‘Waterline’ and are the big favourite to represent the emerald isle for the second time in a row. Marina & The Diamonds had good news for their fans as well. The Welsh singer’s releasing her new single ‘Primadonna’ early April. Olly Murs has also revealed the title of his new track being ‘Oh My Goodness’. Lots of video’s as well this week with Ladyhawke, Alexandra Burke’s video. Boyband JLS did so as well for their Sports Relief 2012 single ‘Proud’. We’ll soon review the song here.

Lady GaGa revealed during the week the first dates of her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour preceded with the tour poster, seeing the stage of the performer in the shape of a castle. The singer is expected to go on tour for 2 years. Speaking of touring and , here she is again, Madonna has also given out the dates and cities of her new world tour, Australia is one of the countries who sees the artist return after 13 years,  Not embarking on a world tour yet, but Mel B and both Geri Halliwell haven’t ruled out a possible Spice Girls reunion. All the members of the band are planned to meet up later this month to discuss new exciting plans. We will just have to wait and see.

The Grammy’s are approaching and stars confirmed to perform are Chris Brown, Tony Bennet, Carrie Underwood and the comeback of Adele, who’ll be performing for the first time since her throat operation. Now that is something really exciting!

Lots to talk about and with the Brits and Grammy’s on their way, things will only get busier! Hooray!
