David Hasselhoff – True Survivor

By | Music, Music Videos | No Comments

80s icon and former Knight Rider and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has just released a new single – True Survivor – and it’s an 80s synth rock dream! The track is lifted from the soundtrack of King Fury, a martial arts comedy film that was completely funded on Kickstarter. 17,713 backers pledged $630,019 to help fund the movie, which is slated for a May 28 release. On Kickstarter the film is described as “a visually spectacular action comedy that has its foundation in ’80s cop movies.”

As you might expect, the video is completely crazy. The Hoff takes on numerous villains, including Nazis and robots, whilst sporting an 80s-style mullet and leather bomber jacket. Gunfights? Dogs with lasers for eyeballs? Hitler? Kung fu? A giant viking? Explosions galore? Dinosaurs? Sure! The video was shared on Twitter by Jared Leto who wrote, “Say THANK YOU for putting this in your life.”

“The song is perfect for me as I really am, in real life, a True Survivor,” Hasselhoff said to Idolator. “The ’80s was about fun, action, and heroes. Kung Fury has it all! I’m honored to be involved with [director] David Sandberg, an up-and-coming force of nature in the animation digital entertainment world,” he said.

Kung Fury was written and directed by David Sandberg who also appears in the film with Joanna Häggblom, Andreas Cahling and Leopold Nilsson. Find out more about the film on www.kungfury.com

Ty Dolla $ign – Drop That Kitty
ft. Charli XCX & Tinashe

By | Music Videos | No Comments

Grab your kitty and report to the dance floor! Fresh off their performance of Drop That Kitty at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, Ty Dolla $ign, Charli XCX & Tinashe will teach you exactly how to Drop That Kitty in their new music video. The track must surely be an ode to cat lovers – get down with the cats in the club!

The fun clip sees the three artists cruising around the streets of LA, you’ll notice that DJ Mustard and Wiz Khalifa both make cameo appearances. Apparently though it wasn’t all fun and games. “I nearly crashed a chopper bike and died,” Charli told MTV News. “And also that’s such a stupid thing to do because everyone can ride a bike apart from me. They had to put a tricycle, like what kids use — stabilizers — I had to have stabilizers on my chopper, which was not cool at all.”

Charli XCX said that the dance-heavy video was inspired by Snoop Dogg’s Gin and Juice, and is all about a “dude hanging out with his homeys”. Any video that includes such great dancing, a catchy hook (be warned you’ll be Dropping your Kitty all day), kitties riding bikes, dancing cat heads and smoking blunts gets our #FreakyFriday vote.

The Cashmere Cat-produced track is from Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming debut album Free TC which includes collaborations from Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Jagged Edge, YG, and R. Kelly.

Drop that kitty down low. Pop that kitty down low.

Ella Eyre – Together

By | Music, Music Videos | No Comments

Hello, summer anthem! Ella Eyre has just released a video for her soulful, drum-and-bass-infused track Together. Forget the 9 to 5 and head off to Barcelona in a VW with Ella! 🙂

Vevo posted the track 2 days ago and called it “The Sound of the summer – We’ve made Ella’s new tune our TRACK OF THE WEEK! :-)” Could this be Ella’s first Nº1? Smells like it to us. We love ourselves some Ella – what a voice!

The 21-year-old Brit has already scored two Top 20 singles as a solo artist with If I Go (Nº 16) and Comeback (Nº12), as well as a Nº1 with Rudimental, Waiting All Night, and a Top 5 hit with DJ Fresh on Gravity.

The video was shot by Craig Moore in and around Barcelona, and was produced by Futurecut (Rihanna, Lily Allen). Together is officially out on May 18 and is lifted from Eyre’s debut album Feline, which is expected to be released later this summer.

Blondie – Call me

By | Music, Music Videos | No Comments

#ThrowbackThursday – We go back 35 years to 1980 when Blondie started a 6-week run on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with Call Me, also a Nº1 in the UK and a Top 10 hit in 15 other countries. The song features on the soundtrack of the Richard Gere movie American Gigolo – it plays over the opening titles where Gere is driving his car down the pacific coast highway in California.

Debbie Harry stated that the song is about driving, and that “When I was writing it, I pictured the opening scene, driving on the coast of California.” European disco legend Giorgio Moroder produced the track. The bridge of the original English-language version also includes Harry singing “Call me, my darling” in Italian (“Amore, chiamami”) and in French (“Appelle-moi, mon chéri”).

Not only was the track Nº1 on the Hot 100 for 6 weeks, it was certified Gold and spent 4 weeks at Nº2 on the US dance chart. It was Nº1 on Billboard Magazine’s 1980 year-end chart and lists as Nº 44 on Billboard’s All Time Top 100. 25 years after its original release, Call Me was ranked at No. 283 on the list of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

J.Y. Park – Who’s your mama? feat. Jessi

By | Music, Music Videos | No Comments

This is the perfect video for #WackyWednesday ! The song is damn catchy and the video will crack you up- it’s hilarious! The song has swept the music charts across South Korea, replacing girl group Miss A’s Only You and is getting more than a million YouTube hits a day. Rapper Jessi of ‘Lucky J’ is also featured in the single and video.

J.Y. Park basically worships the booty against a background of a funky beat. He has the audacity to ask girls in the gym what waist and hip measurements they have! Try that in Europe or America and you’d get your face slapped pretty quick! Overall, YouTube comments seems very positive – “i usually dislike this kind of songs and mvs (girls, butts, boobs) but surprisingly, jyp pulls it off perfectly” and another “Omg, Korean Iggy in the house! This song is catchy and the vid cracked me up!”

J. Y Park, otherwise known as Park Jin-young is a South Korean music mogul – a rapper, singer, producer and CEO of JYP Entertainment. He is also one of the three judges on the show K-Pop Star 4 (South Korea’s version of The Voice). Park made an official comeback with his new album 24/34 in the final episode of Season 4 on Sunday (April 12).

Park has released 7 albums and also composed and produced over 31 charting singles and 25 albums for various groups in South Korea including Rain and Wonder Girls. Park also became the first Asian producer to successfully cross over to the US, producing music for Will Smith, Mase and Cassie.

Janelle Monáe, Jidenna – Yoga

By | Music, Music Videos | No Comments

Janelle Monáe has released a music video for her collaborative track Yoga with singer and label mate Jidenna. We love the tongue in cheek, breezy verse “She did that yoga / Looking for my loafers man, I woke up in a toga,”. The club comes to the yoga studio in this fun video.

This electro-soul track is quite seductive, supported by metallic handclaps and a stuttering beat. It’s the first new single from Monáe since her second album Electric Lady (2013). It will be featured on the upcoming label compilation EP Wondaland Presents: The Eephus which is due to drop this summer. The 5-track EP will feature songs from other acts on the label including St. Beauty, Deep Cotton and Roman GianArthur.

“Baby, bend over / Let your booty do that yoga,”. Sounds like Nirvana to us!
