Cheryl Cole- Promise This Video

Cheryl Coles sophmore effort, Messy Little Raindrops, has already kicked off with lead single Promise This. Ryan Tedder has commented that the albums direction would be "quirky new dance music" and it perfectly sums up this record. Promise This is an unusual track on first listen...and frankly it doesn't live up its lead single status quite as well as R'n'B influenced Fight For This Love. But after repeat listens the tracks proves to be actually brilliant. It has an uncanny reference to death is perfectly timed after Cole Malaria illness, much in the same way that Fight For This Love was released after Ashley Cole was caught cheating, clearly Cheryl loves commentary songs. The video is slightly dissapointing , but still an apt video for the song. Nevertheless this song will succeed due to the legion of Cheryl fans and clearly a performance on X-Factor will increase the album sales.

Robyn- Body Talk Pt 2

Body Talk Part 1 was the first in a trilogy of albums from Swedish pop sensation Robyn. The eclectic E.P introduced a new sound for Robyn, a hybrid mix of her Pop music heard on her 2005 smash Robyn, blended with the Electric disco sound which developed during her collaborations with Kleerup (With Every Heartbeat)and Royksop (The Girl and the Robot). Whilst successfully showcasing her versatility, audibly Body Talk Part 1 seemed somewhat muddled. Undoubtedly tracks Dancing on my Own, Fembots and Dancehall Queen stood out but Swedish track Jag Vet En Dejilig Rosa and Don't F**king Tell Me What to Do distracted from the Electro/pop brilliance of the E.P. It is forgivable to have songs that won't be every bodies cup of tea on an album but on a record of only 8 songs, every track counts. This however is remedied by Body Talk Part 2.

The final master of Hang With Me served as the lead single from the second instalment of the trilogy. The added synths and beat and ultimately the entire reworked version fit more comfidently with the track in comparison to the acoustic version. The final track of BT2, Indestructable also being acoustic suggests it will later be released as in full production on the third instalment however it comfortably suits the acoustic format, as lyrically the song is beautiful and this version allows the lyric to shine through. Employing a orchestral introduction, an unusual ploy for a pop record sonically makes the track a masterpiece and as an album closer this track becomes a dark horse.

The standout tracks come in the form of Love Kills, a former Track of the Week on That Broken Record, and Criminal Intents which is the perfect electro record. these track prove to be the highlights of Robyn's 12 year career. The beats seem infectious enough for the clubs which often means a sure fire hit. Lyrically both are equally as well written and simply get better with repeated plays.

There is a suprise collaboration with Snoop Dog; not the most obvious of choices but works brilliantly on the album. We Dance to the Beat mirrors Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Do from BT1, however manages to go the extra distance which DFTWTD seemed to lack. Include me out and In My Eyes are perfect pop songs to open the album and are perfectly justified for inclusion on the album.

In a year where there has been a resurgence of pop music; with releases such as Kylie's Aphrodite, and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream leading the charts, Robyn manages to hold her position in the charts. Her album works brilliantly and if the final instalment lives up to it's predecessor then Robyn will have cemented herself as a true artist; an acclaim that she has deserved yet seemingly been overlooked in the world of music.

The U.K Charts 08/08/10

Ne-Yo has shot straight into the number one with Beautiful Monster, with Flo Rida just clinging on behind. 'Americano' is still sitting in the top end of the charts just bobbing up and down for the last few weeks.

Video Premiere/ Preview? Kanye West- Power

Im a little confused by this one, as this has been described as the video premiere however only lasts 1 minute 2 seconds, so does that mean that is all we get or is it simply a preview?? The description "It's Not a Video, It's a Painting" from Kanye all fits into place now, because it is a painting, a live, virtual painting. I think so far it is amazing, something you don't really see, and there is SO much to see. Honestly it fascinates me.

Eminem ft. Rihanna- Love The Way You Lie

So its finally here, the video for the smash single Love The Way You Lie lifted from Eminems number 1 album Recovery. The video features Dominic Monaghan of Lost fame, but i'd rather remember him as a hobbit to be honest, and Megan Fox who doesn't really need much of an introduction 'cos she's Megan Fox you know? The couple portray an abusive relationship and do a very good job of it. Brilliant video!
