day 4.68

rihanna, chris brown set back domestic violence movement

um, what pr team let this happen. it's no secret that three years ago chris brown beat rihanna, sending her to the hospital and forcing both stars to pull out of the 2009 grammys. it's also no secret that rihanna publicly pled to never go back to brown, telling barbra walters it would set a bad example for her young fans. but now it looks like rihanna might be eating her words - a little bit. there's no confirmation that the duo is back together romantically (in fact, tmz has plenty of pics of brown and his new girlfriend frolicking on the beach) but they are together musically. in honor of rihanna's birthday, the duo each released remixes of their new singles, featuring the other. rihanna dropped a full-length version of "birthday cake," and brown premiered a new version of "turn up the music." my biggest problem here? both songs are so catchy that they'll get plenty of radio play -- and people will probably forget about what happened.


"birthday cake"

"turn up the music"

sometimes i wish i were famous...

so i could do stuff like this with my other famous friends, ya know? selena gomez, justin bieber, ashley tisdale and the boys of big time rush (amongst others) got together to create a viral video for their friend, canadian pop star carly rae jepsen's new single "call me maybe." the song is catchy, but the video's better.

new girl: you decide?

chances are you've checked out one of this season's breakout hits, "new girl," staring the "adorkable" (their word, definitely not mine) zooey deschanel. and chances are, if you've seen the show, you've gotten its theme song stuck in your head. well now you can get it stuck in your head all over again while interacting with the cast. sort of. fox released an "interactive" music video for the theme song. so, go interact.

album review: born to die, lana del rey

chances are you caught lana del rey's not-so-stellar tv debut on saturday night live last month. forget it. so, the girl's not a live performer. what she is a killer song writer. del rey (real name, lizzy grant)'s debut, born to die, is a mixed bag of melancholy ballads and catchy choruses sure to get stuck in your head. here are some of the stand out tracks.

"off to the races"

this song will take a couple listens, but trust- you'll love it. del rey moves from deep voiced sing-speak to flowing melody to punchy chorus. she name calls bacardi- how can you not love it?

"radio"

most of born to die is made for move soundtracks ... or a nivea commercial. this is one of those songs.

"diet mountain dew"

the other half is calling out for a rap remix (think kanye, or even childish gambino). "diet mountain dew" is an anthem about love in new york ... and maybe diet soda that melts animal carcasses. i'm not really sure.

"summertime sadness"

a lot of del rey's songs seem to follow the same story arc, with recurring themes of red dresses and death. fun stuff, right? "summertime sadness" is part of that series, which also includes "races" (above), "born to die" and "video games."

that's just a small preview- definitely check out all of del rey's debut on spotify.
