Anyways, here is one that is not: a 5-song EP from a guy that turns hip-hop on its head and blends it with some eighties futuristic R&B and some more eighties indie pop. Add to the mix the sparkling synths, bouncing bass lines and infectious choruses, and you have the aural equivalent of a cute smile in your face. Like someone said, it's as if Prince and Kid Cudi had a baby, and that baby grew up listening to a lot of Morrissey. And that's your lesson in the art of procreation for today, kids.

<br />
And now for the question that is in everyone's minds: is <span style="font-style: italic;">Femme Fatale</span> actually any better than <span style="font-style: italic;">Blackout</span>?<br />
Britney's 2007 album is still unique in every sense of the word. Recorded during a very specific period of her life, when she was having a public meltdown in front of the whole world to see, you could sense that turbulence everywhere on that record: her voice engulfed in all the radical sonics, creating a tension and a claustrophobic atmosphere that, in the end, showed she was then a much-solitary soul.<br />
After <span style="font-style: italic;">Circus</span> put her back on track, at least with her own self, <span style="font-style: italic;">Femme Fatale</span> is where everything really falls into the right place, creating what will probably become one of her most iconic moments in her career. This is where the cheeky and naughty Brit that we all love is at full force again, opening up to the world and inviting everyone to her party... while, at the same time, all the producers and writers involved in this project seem to have been blessed with a divine moment of manic inspiration, considering what they've come up with for <span style="font-style: italic;">Femme Fatale</span>. Really now: Cyborg sex-vixen Britney? Yes please! <br />
In the end, saying that this album is without any flaw and that there's not a single filler in here, is an understatement. What is true is that listening to it - and Lord knows I haven't been able to do anything else in the past few weeks - gives a new meaning to the concept of experiencing multiple sequenced eargasms.<br />
And back to that introductory question: is <span style="font-style: italic;">Femme Fatale</span> actually any better than <span style="font-style: italic;">Blackout</span>? Only time will tell, but for now one thing is for sure: <span style="font-style: italic;">Britney's back, bitch</span>! (9/10) <br />

Her new single changes this perception a bit and thus may, very well, become her first international breakthrough hit. Mostly because <em>Broken Record</em> broadens its influences and literally opens up to the world. Just hear that drum'n'bass chorus and you'll understand why. <br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UUumJcrnwbs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.katyonamission.com" target="_blank">www.katyonamission.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p> </p>

This time our favourite Swede has even upped the bar a bit more, incorporating an amazing electro beat that brings his songwriting and singing to new unsuspected heights. I've already read in more than a few places that "<span style="font-style:italic;">Are You Leaving</span>" could be seen as the male version to Robyn's "<span style="font-style:italic;">Dancing On My Own</span>", and I can see where that comes from: both deal with heartbreak lyrics, pumping disco synths and an atmosphere of nordic nostalgia - all things for which I'm a total sucker. <br />Considering that this is just one of the songs from a forthcoming mini-album called <span style="font-style:italic;">Mariefried Sessions</span>, I can't help but becoming über-excited for what's next. In the meantime, here's the fresh-oven video, directed by the (multi-talented) man himself.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XbKP0arfXWo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.erikhassle.com" target="_blank">www.erikhassle.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p> </p>

So the prospect of being able to take part in the best night of his life... that surely sounds like quite an experience, to say the least, doesn't it? Well, following the title by the letter, this album raises the curtain in what a superstar's fun night is like. And what do you know? It's actually not that different from the common mortal's. <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Best Night Of My Life</span> starts with mid-tempo jams that are just perfect to soundtrack private parties in luxury mansions, surrounded by some sexy people. But by the second half, the tempo tones down, while the temperature actually gets higher. So that means it's that time of the evening when you leave the party behind and surreptitiously go upstairs, ending up on a stranger's bed with the hottest guy/girl in the room. <br />Which is to say that you can actually identify with what you're hearing and use this album as a soundtrack to a home-made party of yours. Because, even if with less luxury involved, the script may turn out to be quite similar. And the fact that it all ends with "<span style="font-style:italic;">Sex On The Beach</span>" is literally an added bonus to what was already a very special night.

If you are Cut Copy, then this is what you do: reduce the anthemic properties of your new tracks, take out almost all guitars and immerse the tunes in a myriad of 80's synthesizers. And <i>Zonoscope</i> is exactly all about that: building ethereal dance atmospheres instead of physical numbers, while exploring different synthetic textures. <br />But the final goal is still the same and almost as successfuly achieved as before: to create ecstactic music and aim higher into the sky. Or, in other words, to reach for the stars while dancing on the way.

And those are in a large part due to the presence of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart as producers and writers, providing the vibrant synthetic R&B atmosphere that permeates all over <i>Basic Instinct</i>, with some amazing back instrumentals for Ciara to do her thing on. Not only are those beats sexy and seductive on their own, but they also blend perfectly with her trademark soft and anonymous (- compliment here!) voice.

The frantic beats don't let it be mistaken by anything else than a grime album, as well as Devlin's flow, or shall I say, angry words-spitting rhymes? But then there are also the immense pop hooks, absurdly catchy choruses, emo pianos and strings, heavy guitars and a whole lot of intense drama, taking everything into another level that comes really close to reaching epic proportions. In a way, it all reminds me of a less-cartoonish version of Eminem, which - in my book - is a very good place to start with.

This Swedish duo took 2009 by storm with one of the best songs ever done (no kidding here), the perfectly-titled <em><a href="http://randomtypes.blogspot.com/2009/08/and-now-for-popjustice-moment.html" target="_blank">Into The Clouds</a></em>... and then vanished completely. Well, that absence from the public-radar was all for a good reason, as they went to prepare their debut album, which is now finally ready and will be released very soon. Its first single is titled <em>Nova</em> and it's so fantastic that I'm literally drooling here right now as I write this. Another beautiful half-melancholic / half-ecstactic song, like only the Swedes seem capable of doing, loaded with a myriad of epic goosebumps-inducing synths. Seriously, things like this make me fall in love with the world.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1FHEn8rJ4Vw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.thesoundofarrows.com" target="_blank">www.thesoundofarrows.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p> </p>

What was my problem with this album before? The fact that it all seemed too incomplete, like too much sketches and great ideas grouped together but with something still missing. And what changed in the last high-fever days? I suppose my availability and patience to fill in the gaps by myself.<br />So yes, I now agree: this will probably be considered a landmark in the future, when a dubstep musician started building up his own world and used some - but not much - of the scene's elements to create a new and very personal sound. As a matter of fact, I don't think there's much dubstep in here anymore. This album is more a collection of leftfield songs, little melodies with a heavily processed voice - that anyway still sounds fragile enough, actually like everything else in here -, built around some really unique electronic sounds and... a lot of silence.<br />Yes it can sound incomplete in the beginning. But maybe there's another expression for that, and that's: entering someone's intimacy.

Don't blame yourself for that, and actually he's the first one aknowledging this fact, so all the better for it. But judging by <em>Last Train To Paris</em>, at least no one should question his skills as executive producer, considering that he's capable of bringing together so many A-list names to collaborate with him, from Grace Jones, Usher, T.I., Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake and Drake to Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Bilal. Oh and the list of producers is also pretty awesome: Danja, Polow Da Don, Jay-Z, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Swizz Beatz, Rodney Jerkins, Sean Garrett, D’Mile, Mario Winans or DEEKAY, among others. The end result is a kaleidoscopic journey described as an “electro-hip-hop-soul-funk experience blending elements of U.K. grime, Mediterranean techno, and the 808s of American hip-hop”. Sounds good, no?<br />With such an ambitious project that goes much broader than the standard hip-hop album, it's a bit inevitable to bring to the table comparisons with Kanye West, but not forgetting that, as said before, Diddy takes himself way less seriously. True, he probably has less than half the talent of Kanye's... but on the other hand, not having a stick up your ass - and surrounding yourself by all the right people - can sometimes result in music that sounds much more fun.

Patrick has to be one of my favorite musicians ever, I think his lyrics are genius and the intense emotions of his music is unparalleled. Give me dark Patrick Wolf or joyful Patrick Wolf any time of the day and I’ll take it. And this video! I mean, come on, could it be any more cute? That vintage cinematography with burnt-out colors, the beach settings, the friends gathering, that sexy look with his mate at minute 3 (wow!)… bliss!
