New Music: Katy Perry California Gurls Ft. Snoop Dogg

Katy Perry’s new single “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg has been posted on her official site.

Listen to the track on KatyPerry.com! It was produced and co-written by Katy, Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Benny Blanco. Katy recently spoke to MTV, “We nailed it: It’s roller-skating! It’s ’90s! It’s Ace of Base! It’s Cyndi Lauper! It’s like all these colors and more… It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be one of those records that is everybody’s favorite guilty pleasure.”

I LOVE this song. I need to be the pool chilling to this song. I will be playing this at all my BBQ's until the radio plays it out. I KNOW they will.

New Music: Miley Cyrus - Cant Be Tamed

Miley Cyrus is done with Hannah Montana and ready to grow up. The Disney queen has a new track called "Can't Be Tamed". Miley's voice isn't that strong so the whole electro-pop sound works in her favor. Good job on the person who mixed her vocals. It's going to blow up on the radios and be played probably more times than "Party In The U.S.A." and "The Climb" so be ready if your not a Miley fan. The music video for "Can't Be Tamed" will premiere on May 4 on E! News, and the song will be available as a digital single on May 18.

New Music: The Truth - Kris Allen Ft. Pat Monahan

I was wondering when I would stop hearing Kris Allen's first single on the radio repeatedly. Here's some new music from the American Idol winner featuring Train's Pat Monahan. It's good stuff. I can hear it now on the radio.

New Music: N.E.R.D. Feat. Nelly Furtado - Hot & Fun

N.E.R.D. are back to blow up the charts. The group teamed up with Nelly Furtado on "Hot & Fun" off their upcoming album Nothing, set to release June 15.

I immediately bobbed my head to this, but doesn't this remind you of Britney's "Boys"? A remix, even better version maybe? Its a hot record but Britney came to mind immediately.
Take a listen HERE and let me know what you like about it?

New Music: Carmen Reece - Raindrop

Carmen Reece's second single "Raindrop" is the follow up to her debut single, "Right Here". The track was produced by Mark J. Feist (Beyonce, Kelly Rowland).

The song may remind you of David Guetta and Lady Gaga. Put away the umbrella and dance to this song in the rain. Perfect for a gloomy day when your driving too.


Share your thoughts on the song.

New Music: Orianthi - Shut Up & Kiss Me

Orianthi just released her second single, "Shut Up & Kiss Me," which is available now on iTunes. Fresh from the success of "According to You"- the first track from her debut album Believe - the multi-talented musician delivers a high-energy pop song with guitar riffs and plenty of attitude. My prediction is this track will be another radio smash hit. What do you think?

Orianthi just released a remix of her hit debut song "According To You." The remix is by Jason Sangerman and can be downloaded on iTunes. I'm not a fan of remixes, so I'll stick with the original that already has been played out thanks to the local radio stations.
