New Whitney Houston: ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’ (Comeback single!)

July 2nd, 2009 by Silvan

YouTube Preview Image
Whitney Houston is back! Back!! BACK!!! And she’s brought the power ballad with her.

Opinions are divided over comeback single ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength‘ – it does sound rather dated, and it’s hardly attention grabbing – but we think it was probably wise to bring her back along these lines rather than with some dreadful attempt at targeting a younger audience (hello, Madge) who probably weren’t alive during her pre-bonkers days.

Having said all that, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if she’s got something more ghetto/urban/feisty up her sleeve…

Mr Hudson feat. Kanye West ‘Supernova’

July 2nd, 2009 by Geraint

http://www.vimeo.com/5373691

First things first – Mr Hudson is the palest person alive. The guy makes Rhydian look orange, seriously. (Where is Rhydian, actually?)

Secondly, Mr Hudson is one of Kanye West’s pet side-projects. He wrote to Kanye – a bit like Jim’ll Fix It, we imagine – and somehow ended up working with him. It’s all here if you want to read about it.

Anyway – we find Mr Hudson’s overly-English pronounciation rather irritating (’tons of fun’, seriously? Is Mr Hudson from a Famous Five book?), but maybe Americans will think it’s quaint/cute/adorable (delete as appropriate).

Drake ‘Best I Ever Had’ (Video)

July 2nd, 2009 by Geraint

According to Neon Limelight, Drake’s Kanye West-directed ‘Best I Ever Had’ could be ‘one of the most anticipated hip hop videos in years’.

We know nothing about the guy or the song – or hip hop, for that matter – but we thought some of you might be interested. See how nice we are?

There’s more Drake here.

Preston (ex-Ordinary Boys) ‘Dressed To Kill’ (Solo Single)

July 2nd, 2009 by Geraint

YouTube Preview Image

Preston is having another crack at pop stardom.

His former band The Ordinary Boys folded after his disastrous appearance on Celebrity Big Brother (well – the subsequent marriage to winner Chantelle was disastrous), and then…well, Preston vanished into fat thin air.

As it transpires, he was quietly ditching the mod/ska obsession and undergoing an electropop makeover – and we’ve got to admit, the resulting ‘Dressed To Kill’ is not bad at all.

If you’re intrigued, there’s another track (’Teenage Zombie’) on MySpace. It’s not as good, FYI.

Dizzee Rascal feat. Chrome ‘Holiday’ (New Single)

July 2nd, 2009 by Geraint

YouTube Preview Image
Dizzee Rascal’s gone all trance-y on his super-summery new single, ‘Holiday’.
It’s not exactly knocking WAPS’ socks off, but lyrically it’s getting us very excited about our own holiday…and that’s really our main reason for posting!
Seriously though – Dizzee’s probably going straight back to the top with this, the guy can do no wrong these days.
Ps. Apologies for Zane Lowe at the end. VILE.
