Meghan Trainor has released a new music video for her most recent single Dear Future Husband, lifted from her highly successful debut studio album Title. 

The video is theatrical, colourful, playful and backed by a barbershop quartet. Directed by Revon Yousif the bright visuals are consistent with that Doo-Wop retro charm that we have come to associate with Trainor. She’s also looking better than ever in her high waisted patent skirts.

The song is basically a dear diary letter, that she’s hoping her future husband will read, or in this case hear.
”Dear future husband,
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only all my life’’

That’s the intro to the song as well as the beginning of the chorus. In our opinion, there isn’t a request we don’t agree with,

”You got that 9 to 5
 But, baby, so do I
, So don’t be thinking I’ll be home and baking apple pies.” 

Sounds fair enough, right?

Trainor will perform at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards later this month along with the likes of Madonna, Rihanna and Sam Smith. She then embarks on a headline UK tour next month, which includes a night at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The North American MTrain Tour kicks off on July 3 in Atlantic City.

Rae Sremmurd’s latest collaboration Throw Sum Mo with Nicki Minaj and Young Thug is just as we expected. With the song being about throwing money at strippers, getting more money, and then throwing larger dollar bills at them, they managed to come up with a simple video concept. I bet you can guess it.

Everybody wins, the strippers love it, the rich horny young rappers/ thugs get to put their overflowing income to good use, and Nicki Minaj gets to parade her massive tits around the joint whilst all this is taking place. Oh and of course she’s spitting sick versus, but if she wasn’t it would just be really out of place.

Strippers on rollerblades. Strippers. On. Rollerblades.

We have a sneaky suspicion there’s never a dull moment in the White House ever since Obama’s election. Recently, the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show to mark the 5th anniversary of her ‘Let’s Move’ initiative, aimed to inspire people to get active and have fun doing it. Michelle and Ellen have a chat first and then break into a fantastic dance routine. (If you prefer to get straight to the dancing, rather than hear them chat first, fast forward to 3:13)

Whilst on the show, Michelle revealed that as part of her campaign, there will be a dance routine on the front lawn of the White house on April 6, during the annual Easter Egg Roll. The dancers will be a host of helpers from the popular reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance. Of course, they will be getting jiggy to the tune of Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.

During her airtime with Ellen, Michelle stated: “We’re asking folks all across the country to #GimmeFive ways they are leading a healthy life, Beyonce gave me five, and Ryan Seacrest and Nick Jonas and even the astronauts on the space shuttle, the International Space Shuttle, got involved.”

One of our five has got to be listen to more happy music at C5! (Which leads to dancing… and then fitness ensues.) 🙂 There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them!

Muse get their war faces on in their new lyric video for Psycho. This adrenaline-pumped song is from their upcoming album, Drones, set to be released June 8, 2015.

The video begins with what seems to be a drill sergeant yelling a spew of army-drenched authoritative dialogue which is featured throughout the entire track, giving the song this intense edge from the get-go. Muse has gone a lot heavier and darker with this style of music, but their fans are crazy for it.

The band co-produced the disc with Robert John ‘’Mutt’’ Lange who has produced albums for the likes of AC/DC, Maroon 5, Nickelback and Shania Twain. The band is currently on tour in the UK and will be travelling around the rest of Europe during the summer months.

Frontman Matt Bellamy had this to say about the track: “To me, drones are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by drones utilising drones to turn us all into drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.”

So, safe to say they’re pretty obsessed with drones at the minute, fair play to them..

A cheeky Miranda Lambert struts her stuff in new music video Little Red Wagon, her third single off new album Platinum. Just released a couple of days ago to YouTube and the video already has over 2 million views. However, a fair chunk of her fans seem displeased with the her new look and sound, missing her old country rock.

Popular opinions agree that she’s sold herself out to the mainstream masses to remain relevant. They dislike how this new music video is so sexualised, and is distasteful of a married woman. A YouTube comment with over 100 likes states: ”There was so much sexual over tones in this video that I feel that’s all the video was about. The song got lost in the video. All we really got was tits & ass….I love Miranda but HATE the direction she’s taking her music’’

Personally, we don’t see what problems her husband could possibly have with such a fun, naughty, yet innocent enough production by his successful wife. Sure, the video is very sexual, more so than usual for her, but it seems almost all videos are like that nowadays, we’re just obsessed with the cute pooch side-kick who stars in the clip alongside her and her outrageous red boots.

Azealia Banks is definitely back in the game with her state-of-the-art new music video for Wallace.

Azealia comments on her own experience of ’the making of’; “Working side by side with this incredible team of tech-creatives was a truly unique and enjoyable experience, and I’m thrilled to be part of a potentially groundbreaking new ‘norm’ in the future of making music videos.”

“I’m such a huge fan of technology and creative new ways of interacting and engaging with fans, so this collaboration was perfect for me. Music videos are as much of an art form as the music itself. The more I can push myself in my creative endeavours, the better.”

#ThrowbackThursday – Judy Garland’s little girl Liza May Minnelli turns 69 today! Acclaimed for her performance in Cabaret (1972), we think the song Cabaret from the movie, is the perfect number to celebrate with!

The film was an immediate success at the box office, earning millions in profits as much so in other countries as in North America. Fast forward to the mid-90s where it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the US National Film Registry. It has been deemed as “culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.’’ To this day the movie holds a 97% “Fresh’’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a website devoted to film reviews and news.

Directed by Bob Fosse, the film is set in Berlin during the Weimar Republic in 1931, under the ominous presence of the growing Nazi Party. It’s some of Liza’s best work, for which she deservingly won the Academy Award for Best Actress In a Leading Role. In fact, the film scored an incredible 8 Academy Awards, including Best Sound and Best Original Song Score. It also won 3 Golden Globes, 7 BAFTAs and scores more, too numerous to mention.

The Script’s brand new music video for Man on a Wire is out! and tough love is what it’s all about. Shot in Cape Town, South Africa, lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue shows off his wire-walking skills, attempting to win back the love of his life. The one he is trying to get over, according to the song, because she’s bad for his health… Apart from that one mixed message, the song and video got the scary heights part on par with the lyrics,

The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets
Now you’re not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down

Feels like I’m walkin’ on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I’m counting on high hopes to get me over you

The video was inspired by the French tightrope walker Philippe Petite who has his own famous documentary ‘Man on Wire.’ The song is their latest hit single, taken from their 4th album No Sound Without Silence.

In an interview with Metro, Danny shares what it was like filming; “We flew to Cape Town, we flew the director over from the USA, we secured a big budget and then suddenly it was the training day and I had to step off the building! It was so scary, everyone tells you not to look down but as soon as I stepped off I looked down. You can’t not look down. It doesn’t get any easier either, the wire is two inches in diameter and every step feels like the first step.’

Funnily enough, and ever so fitting, that his experience is a great way to describe having to get over somebody you loved. Just like in the song.

A kaleidoscopic club adventure is had by a sultry Selena Gomez in the new music video for I Want You To Know. Co-written by Zedd, OneRepulic frontman Ryan Tedder and KDrew, there’s no wondering how it got so popular so quickly.

The music video was posted just yesterday (March 10) and already has 700,000 views. By the time you’re reading this it will probably have well over a million. The audio only version, posted just a couple of weeks ago, has racked up an impressive 12,000,000.

An adorable tuxedo-clad Zedd just watches Selena frolicking around the dance floor for most of the video with her bouncing cleavage. I mean, who wouldn’t be staring? Some lucky takers manage to bump and grind with her for a few seconds but she mainly wants to rave solo. Violently flipping all that hair around can’t be fun for close-by dancers anyway… So we’re pretty sure that’s the reason she’s been given her personal space. She does however take a break from all the hyper dancing to reapply her lipgloss and smooch her reflection in the mirror. Again, who wouldn’t want to smooch those puffy red shiny lips at such close proximity?

Ohh not you? Fair game. Just watch the video then, un-seduced.
