#NEWMUSIC: JESSICA MAUBOY – “I CAN’T HELP MYSELF” FROM “THE SAPPHIRES” OST
I am pretty much obsessing! Although Australia and parts of Europe already are familiar with Jessica Mauboy, we too soon will get to know former Australian Idol Runner-Up and top-selling Artist Jessica Mauboy. I cannot stop listening to the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to The Sapphires, the Musical Dramedy which premiered at TIFF here last September and soon will be due for a release across North America.
The Soundtrack includes stellar Covers of Motown Hits like I Can't Help Myself, ...

#NEWMUSIC: SELENA GOMEZ – “RULE THE WORLD”
"Our love was made to rule the World/You came and broke the perfect Girl.". BIEBER!
It is no mystery that I love Selena Gomez like a Love Song. I am totally loving this new Track which has just surfaced, called Rule the World. The beauty of a Break-up is that good Music often is born from it. This definitely shows maturity and growth from her last Disc as Selena Gomez and The Scene, When the Sun Goes Down. Musically, it's giving me major flashbacks to Kelly Rowland & David Guetta's When ...

#NEWMUSIC: MICHAEL BUBLÉ – “IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY”
Everybody loves a bit of Bublé! Canadian Crooner Michael Bublé has just released his brand new Single, the cheery It's a Beautiful Day. On the Track, we hear him veer away from the Jazz Standards, sounding more Pop than ever. The Vocals however are unmistakably him and we can never say "no" to a big, brassy Horn section. Lots of fun and surely to become one of those Songs you will hear looped at least three times on the Adult Contemporary Station during that two-hour-long wait at your ...

#NEWMUSIC: DEMI LOVATO – “HEART ATTACK”
We loved Give Your Heart a Break and we adored Skyscraper. Demi Lovato may have given our hearts a break but now she's full-on giving us a Heart Attack - the name of her brand new Single. The Suspex-produced Track is the first to be released from the Teen Idol's fourth studio Disc, due in-stores later this year. The mid-tempo Electro-Pop Production goes pretty much the same direction Katy Perry and Mariah Carey have gone with their recent releases, and Lovato really separates herself from ...

#NEWMUSIC: ASIAN MEGASTAR KAREN MOK TO MAKE STATESIDE DEBUT WITH “SOMEWHERE I BELONG”
Now this totally made my day! Those of us in North America likely have little idea who Karen Mok is, but in Asia she is an Icon. The Hong Kong-born and British/Italian-educated Singer Actress first made her debut in 1993 as a Singer with moderate success, before branching out into Film and signing to Rock Records in Taiwan, which quickly propelled her Career.
Soon before she knew it, she was working with A-List Directors like Wong Kar Wai and at one point she even was considered for the Steven ...

#NEWMUSIC: MARIAH CAREY – “ALMOST HOME” (THEME FROM “OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL”)
After much teasing, finally we get the full stream of Mariah Carey's new Single, Almost Home - the Theme Song to Oz The Great and Powerful, co-written and produced by Norwegian Duo Stargate, who are responsible for Beyoncé, Ne-Yo and Rihanna's biggest Hits.
As a die-hard Fan of Mariah's, my complete CD and Deluxe Editions Collection dating back to her 1990 Debut, I am rather pleased with the results. The Track sounds fresh and maybe even somewhat reminiscent of Katy Perry's Wide Awake ...
