I thought they had gone the same way as CSS, but I guess Baile Funk has more life in it than Nu Rave ( :puke2: ) Kilo is pretty good. Diplo can do no wrong really when he's working with acts like this.

This is great. And it's written by Charlie XCX who is equally amazing.

You can watch a LQ version of the vid here http://nellyfurtadodaily.com/?p=5119 HQ on Vevo Monday.

She's also been working with Ester Dean and Billboard for the new album. I'm usually very open to Shakira working with current producers compared to other fans (who usually just want her to do DELL part 2), but I admit, I'm a little worried about some of the people she's working with this time. LMFAO are really the epitome of what's wrong with music today. I will reserve judgement though and hope she can come up with something fresh. I've got a feeling she's going to go down a moombahton route with this album which would be interesting. There's also rumours she's working with Skrillex. They're both in Barcelona at the moment. And Shakira's obviously a fan - check out this vid: nnjba-kP4Kc

The use of Get On Your Feet is just the best thing ever.

Next single is Power And Control apparently... absolutely crazy when Lies is just asking to be playlisted on Radio 1.

MntbN1DdEP0 The video for Addicted to You, the latest single from Sale El Sol, just came out today so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a Shakira thread going on Buzzjack again! I'm guessing this is just to tide things over until her new album comes out later this year. She's been in the studio with Sia, Afrojack, LMFAO and Akon. She's also got a song on Pitbull's new album called Get It Started, which is scheduled to be the second single. Apparently, her new management, Roc Nation, are trying to time things just right in the run up to this new album. This is good news because Shakira's always been known to have pretty terrible promotional strategies, with big waits for performances, video releases and album releases.

That remix is ridiculous. Summertime Sadness video: http://www.muumuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lana-del-rey-summertime-sadness-preview-04.jpg http://p.twimg.com/ArLs5bfCEAA4zl_.jpg http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/23/lana-del-rey-summertime-sadness-1-580x435.jpg http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/23/lana-del-rey-summertime-sadness-2-580x435.jpg

My first impression is that the production really lets down a lot of this album. There's something a little cheap and nasty about most songs and it's such a shame because there's some amazing songs underneath it all. I don't care that she's gone all electro-pop on this album, but it only works when she goes for that sound fully like on Primadonna, Radioactive and Lies. But on other songs like Bubblegum Bitch, Living Dead and Power & Control they just sound like Family Jewels songs but with a synth instead of a piano. Starring Role is an amazing song, but there is something quite dated about it... it always reminds me of Natasha Bedingfield - Angel. My favourite songs so far (in no particular order): Primadonna Teen Idle (mainly because it is in the same vein as Numb and The Family Jewels) Valley Of The Dolls (although this could do with a slick Lana Del Rey type production) Lies Starring Role Fear And Loathing

One of the deluxe edition songs and an album leftover have leaked...neither are that spesh: http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/marina-th...a-heart-miss-y/

Wow. Strangely beautiful.

Oh God it's awesome. However, please can we stop pissing around now and just have an HQ version already. The wait for this song is already too prolonged.

1 minute clip: http://soundcloud.com/jeff1317/big-hoops-1min Sounds awesome.

That interview has got me even more jimmied up for this album. I really didn't realise how much I missed Nelly. A reggae song, a song with Passion Pit, a track with Nas on... I just can't wait now!!

I heard it will be on iTunes 17th April. Dunno how true that is. I think it's Darkchild. Run The World is brilliant and this has the potential to be brilliant too. If Big Hoops is as brrap as the clip implies, and it turns out to be a hit, I hope it marks the end of the electro dance era.

It sounds awesome... BAH! This has got me so excited!! There's so much I love about that clip...the beat is massive...the lyrics ridiculous...the lack of anything like a Calvin Harris chordal synth...it just makes me so happy.

The Clams Casino remix of NLMG is amazing. Also, a Florence song used for realz in a trailer: UV3RflsNxak

Where's the chorus? Not even a good drop. Disappointed.

Roman Holiday doesn't sound as good without the "MOTHER STOP IT PLEASE!" screams over the top of the chorus. She better still shout "YOU'RE A PSYCHOTIC LAYDEE" at some point.

Absolutely stunning. I want that intro!

I'm glad it's going to be shown in the UK. I didn't think this would get picked up because it might be "too American"... Hopefully people will give it a chance because it's just so ridiculously good!

I like it. I don't think it's generic or a sell out. It's not much poppier than Oh No and the melody and lyrics are classic Marina. I agree with the person that said she doesn't really pull off this image. I think Lana Del Rey has shown how you do the whole old-Hollywood 'thing'. Marina doesn't have any mystique however desperately she tries.

I really like the cover. She said on twitter there will be 4 deluxe track. I'm guessing Jealousy and Radioactive will be 2 of them.

It will be nice to have Blue Jeans as a single as LDR has said that Video Games, Born To Die and Blue Jeans are a kind of trilogy so it makes sense to complete the trilogy. I hope they move on from it relatively quickly though and have This Is What Makes Us Girls as the next single in May. Then as someone else said, Summertime Sadness released at the end of summer.

Probably on my own here but...I actually prefer season 2 to season 1... The first couple of episodes of season 1 were amazing but then I thought the rest of the season sort of trailed off. I'm enjoying this more now that it has become a proper character driven show.
