Artwork for Alizée's 'Une Enfant Du Siècle'

Alizée’s lovely new single ‘Les Collines (Never Leave You)’ is just the thing to temporarily soothe a Friday afternoon hangover (not that we’ve got one, you understand.)

The track is taken from her new album ‘Une Enfant du Siècle’, which is out March 29th.

Kick-Ass

Back in 2006 Mika was the darling of the UK music industry with his Marmite-y but massively successful debut, ‘Life in Cartoon Motion’. Fast forward three years and the last two singles from his second album ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much’ have failed to make a dent on the UK top 40.

Despite this apparent dip in fortunes Mika is still enjoying great success across Europe, where his latest offering ‘Kick Ass‘ will probably find a more appreciative audience. The song was produced by RedOne, the man behind many of Lady GaGa biggest hits.

As with most Mika songs, ‘Kick Ass’ is rousing, danceable and Queen-esque, but its repetitive nature and high-pitched vocals won’t suit everyone’s tastes.

‘Kick Ass’ features on the soundtrack to Brad Pitt’s new comic-book adaptation of the same name.

Florence & the Machine

Florence Welch has wasted no time in capitalising on her recent Brits triumph (she and her Machine walked away with the Mastercard album of the year award for ‘Lungs’); just a few short weeks after racing back into the top 5 with a Dizzee-fied version of ‘You Got The Love’ and a re-release of her 2008 single ‘Dog Days Are Over’ is already upon us.

The track originally came with a low budget video (Welch said afterwards, “[It] was so cheap…it was a video camera in a forest, with my Dad and Marks and Spencer sandwiches,”) but someone has since ponied up the cash for a rather more expensive treatment. Check out the new ‘Dog Days’ video below.

You may remember rapper Trina from such family-friendly hits as ‘Da Baddest Bitch‘ and ‘No Panties’, not to mention her 2006 collaboration with Kelly Rowland (‘Here We Go‘).

Trina’s fifth studio album ‘Amazin’‘ is set for release on May 4th 2010, and the first video from the record has now surfaced – check out ‘Million Dollar Girl‘ (ft. Diddy and Keri Hilson) above.

And just in case any of you are upset that we’ve got to the end of a post without mentioning Lady GaGa, you’ll be relieved to hear that she appears on ‘Amazin” album track, ‘Hoes Fight‘.

Artwork for Lady GaGa ft Beyonce: 'Telephone'

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the full video premiere of Lady GaGa’s ‘Telephone‘! And look, her pal Beyonce popped in for a quick singalong! HOORAY!!! (Please note, there is a short ad before the video.)

As you may have heard, the ‘Telephone’ clip carries on where ‘Paparazzi’ left off; GaGa finds herself in prison for killing her boyfriend, but Beyonce bails her out. And before you know the two are up to no good.

Both clips were directed by Jonas Akerlund, the acclaimed director behind controversial promos such as Prodigy’s ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, The Cardigans’ ‘My Favourite Game’, Christina Aguilera’s ‘Beautiful’, Madonna’s ‘American Life’, Rammstein’s ‘Mann Gegen Mann’ and about a zillion others.

OK, we’re ready for the next GaGa video now please.
