Sophie Ellis-Bextor burst onto the international scene with her dance smash “Murder On The Dancefloor” back in 2001. Since then, she’s scored a few other hits mostly in her native UK. Earlier this year, the 34-year-old songbird released her fifth studio album titled Wanderlust which she funded herself. Good thing for her the album debuted at No. 4 on the UK album chart. It’s her highest-charting since her debut LP.

The lead cut “Young Blood” broke the Top 40 on the UK charts and I predict her latest will do even better. “Runaway Daydreamer” picks up the tempo somewhat from “Young Blood.” Ellis-Bextor looks absolutely stunning in the Sophie Muller-directed visual. Check it out below.

Is it me or does anyone else get the feeling that Iggy Azalea is single-handedly trying to bring the 90s back? With music videos paying homage to both Showgirls and Clueless, it would appear so. This latest track pretty much solidifies her agenda.

The 23-year-old Aussie rapper is taking on the classic “Mo Money Mo Problems” for the film The Other Woman. She’s enlisted Keyshia Cole to sing the hook to the 1997 smash.

Given that the original featured Biggie, Mase and Puff Daddy doling out rhymes, it’s surprising that Nicki Minaj, who appears in the Cameron Diaz film, doesn’t show up on the cover. Instead, Iggy fills the shoes of the aforementioned male rappers all by herself. Check out a preview below which Irv Gotti uploaded on Instagram.

Forget Popeye. It’s Papa: The Sailor Man. At least in this promo video it is. Eliad Cohan corralled a few of his beefy sailor friends (insert seamen jokes) to promote the upcoming Papa Paris party at Le Redlight in Paris on March 15.

Along with flexing their bountiful muscles, they lip sync to Pharrell Williams‘ Oscar-nominated song “Happy.” Check out all the sexy action below. It’ll make you happy along with a bunch of other emotions of the X-rated kind ;)

Whether we like to admit it or not, we’ve all illegally downloaded something at some point. RuPaul is here to remind you to think twice before committing a crime.

To coincide with the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 and the release of her latest LP, >Born Naked, the 53-year-old drag superstar flooded torrent sites with a decoy album. Numerous people fell for it and the fake tracks were shared tens of thousands of times across various blogs and social media accounts.

“We work so hard on this music,” RuPaul said in an interview. “So we thought, why not flood the torrents with a decoy album that educates consumers on why it’s important to buy music.”

Not only did the fake tracks serve as a PSA of sorts, but they were hysterically entertaining as well. Each track began with 20 to 30 seconds of the actual song before fading out and giving way to RuPaul’s random commentaries which included calling out listeners for illegally downloading the album.

“Girl, you done stole my album. Uh Uh, you better don’t hookah, you better get your tail on over to iTunes baby, because I want to get some of that,” is how the first track “Freaky Money”

“Hey, who hasn’t illegally downloaded an album? But when it’s somebody that you admire or that you want to support, child! How am I gonna keep my lace fronts on point if I can’t make a living doing what I’m doing with that ‘Freaky Money’?”

Before we get to the actual single, can we just acknowledge how gorgeous Jennifer Lopez looks on the single artwork. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m almost certain the 44-year-old entertainer found the legendary fountain of youth and is hording all its secrets to herself.

J. Lo premiered her latest single titled “I Luh Ya Papi” on Power 106’s “New at 2″ show with Yesi Ortiz earlier today. Aside from the annoying spelling, the track isn’t half bad. It has this cool breezy vibe that’s perfect for the summer months. The French Montana-assisted track is an official single, unlike “Same Girl” and “Girls” which were simply promo buzz ones. “I Luh Ya Papi” is off her yet-untitled eighth studio album due in stores later this year. Give it a listen below.

I first wrote about Broods back in January as part of our Rising Artist Spotlight. The brother-sister act comprised of Caleb and Georgia Nott are primed to take over North America like their fellow Kiwi, Lorde. They recently signed with Capitol and Polydor Records. A debut EP was released on January 28 and a full-length album is scheduled for August.

The duo recently premiered a visual for “Never Gonna Change.” I thought for sure a clip for “Bridges” which cracked the Top 10 in New Zealand would be their first video. That track has a really cool chamber vibe to it. I digress. While I would’ve loved to see the Notts starring in “Never Gonna Change,” the clip is thoroughly captivating. Even though I really have no idea what’s going on. I appreciate an attempt at a plot, but it’s a tad confusingly abstract for my taste. Check it out below.

I’m not a card-carrying KatyCat by any means, but I have to give Katy Perry props for her stint as guest meteorologist. Unlike John Travolta’s Oscar flub, the “Dark Horse” singer manages to make her mispronunciations of Australian cities somewhat adorable. With that being said, I wouldn’t advise of a career change anytime soon even though Katy was quite comfortable waving that weather wand of hers. Check out the cute clip below.

Everybody and their dogs are jumping on the retro-dance bandwagon these days. Given that Pharrell, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake and most notably Daft Punk scored big with the genre, it only makes sense. However, prior to Daft Punk walking away with Album of the Year at this year’s Grammys, Chromeo dabbled with electrofunk before it became en vogue.

“Jealous (I Ain’t With It)” is the Montreal duo’s most commercial offering to date. It’s bold, fun and undeniably catchy. It was reportedly inspired by Wyclef and Mary J. Blige’s 2000 duet, “911,” which Chromeo’s Dave 1 heard while writing at a Jamaican strip club.

“Guys are all schmucks, let’s face it,” Dave 1 says about the song’s theme. “I don’t know why music constantly extols this fictitious macho fantasy persona — we’re all just puny insecure oversize children. And it would be funnier to embrace it.”

I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the track breaks the upper echelon of the Billboard Hot 100. The track is lifted off their forthcoming album, White Women, which hits stores May 12th via Atlantic Records. Give it a spin below.
