Danity Kane - Damaged / Pretty Boy
2008-01-18 05:40:00
Danity Kane wants you to help them choose the first single of their upcoming sophomore album. At this site, you can vote between the songs Damaged and Pretty Boy, both of which are available to you below. Personally, I would go for Damaged; sounds more radio-friendly to me. But then again, Pretty Boy sounds more unique.... gah, I don't know. Which would you vote for? Thanks to Ali for ripping the tracks.Download: Damaged / Pretty Boy

Timbaland [ft. Keri Hilson & Nicole Scherzinger] - Scream [Video]
2008-01-17 00:18:00
Here it is guys, the video for Timbaland 's newest single Scream . The track is hot... but what was up with that clip? No storyline at all, just hot girls looking hot in front of hot cars, lol. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but they told us in the "behind-the-scenes look" I posted last week that there would be some sick robbery going on and all. I don't think you can call wearing a face mask and loafting in a garage a "robbery".

2008-01-12 08:20:00
Goodnight Goodnight is set to be Maroon 5 's fourth single from their latest album It Won't Be Soon Before Long. It's alright, although I don't like it as much as the first three singles. Hopefully it grows on me!Download: Goodnight Goodnight

Fergie - Finally
2008-01-05 03:34:00
At this year's "Dick Clark's New Year's Eve", Fergie performed 3 songs: her last two hits, Big Girls Don't Cry and Clumsy, and a favorite of her's, Finally . But when he was introducing her before her third performance, Ryan Seacrest said "...with her brand new single...", giving the impression that Fergie would release a 6th track from her album. For me, I think some lines got messed up there and Ryan wasn't supposed to say this, because Fergie had claimed that she would end her run with the single Clumsy, and frankly, although it's a nice track, Finally isn't single material. Hmm... what do you think? Check out the song below.Download: Finally

Danity Kane - 2 Of You
2008-01-05 03:30:00

Mary J. Blige - Sleepwalkin'
2008-01-02 09:15:00
Sleepwalkin' is a bonus track off the Japanese version of Growing Pains. Should've been an album track in my opinion; it's really good. The song was produced by Tricky Stewart, one of my favorite producers at the moment.Download: Sleepwalkin'

Bow Wow & Omarion - Hey Baby
2008-01-02 09:08:00
Hey Baby is Bow Wow & Omarion 's second official single from the album Face Off, following the lackluster Girlfriend. I really like this choice; it's got that sorta-banger feel to it lol. But seriously though, it's catchy and radio friendly. The track was produced by Rick Rubin. Peep the video and download the track below.Download: Hey Baby

Ciara [ft. Lil Jon] - That's Right [Video]
2008-01-02 09:01:00
That's right, Ciara FINALLY released this dang video. LOL. It's been shot for months now... I wonder why she held it off for so long. Anyways, check it out. Pretty expected from Ciara, it's got your dance sequences and what not. For some reason though, this video didn't appeal to me as much as her past one's have. The Promise and Like A Boy ones were hot. Check out the Monica cameo in the video as well.

2007-12-16 08:40:00
The Paper Planes video is set to premiere tomorrow, the 17th, on MTV. Following the link below, you can check it out now.. but argh, censored! The gunshots and all were a major part of the song, and it's all gone. But hey, it's being played in the States... what else do you expect *sigh*. At least M.I.A. can get some American exposure again. It's a sick song; one of my favorites from Kala.Watch: Paper Planes [Video ]

Cherish [ft. Yung Joc] - Killa
2007-12-16 06:33:00
Yes, before you open your mouth...this song leaked ages ago lol. But I've never been that interested in Cherish 's singles... Do It To It and Unappreciated were really bland to me. So I didn't even bother listening to Killa . Just recently, I came across the new video for the single [click here to watch], and I got drawn in. Killer beat, and they got Yung Joc on the track as well.Download: Killa

Timbaland [ft. Keri Hilson & Nicole Scherzinger] - Scream
2007-12-12 05:35:00
First off... ahahaha at the picture below. Okay. Scream is to be Timbaland 's 4th official single to be lifted from the album Shock Value. At first, I wasn't really feeling the track - but now I'm loving the production and the sound of those live instruments. Plus, this could give Keri some more good exposure leading up to the release of her own debut album In A Perfect World, as well as give Nicole Scherzinger some MUCH NEEDED time in the limelight lol.Download: Scream
