Harry Potter 'Deathly Hallows' Part 1 Trailer


The last in the series of novels illustrated into motion pictures that became a worldwide phenomenonHarry Potter is now coming to an end, and they plan to leave with a BIG BANG. The last in the series is the 'Deathly Hallows' which will be split into two parts (with a release date in November 2010 and July 2011), and both will also be viewable in 3D format. I can't lie, I'm super excited and I cant wait to watch it as I've been a fan since the 'Philosphers Stone' book.

Peep the trailer below

N Dubz - Let Me Be Ft. Nivo - Music Video


If you live in the UK you'll have been watching the 'Being N Dubz' documentary that's been airing. If you're fairly new to N Dubz then I suggest you do a YouTube search as they have songs that have been played over 10million times on there, they are a double platinum selling band with over 1.5 million album sales down here in the UK. Furthermore, they just signed a deal with DefJam in the US and they are reportedly working on their new album in Los Angeles.

YES THEY ARE KINDA LIKE A BIG DEAL  




Peep their new music video which will be released in Greece, sounds like a summer time anthem for the Greeks with a homegrown act by the name of Nivo to keep it cool. Don't know if it'll be as successful down in the UK but we'll just have to see.


More Fun


I told y'all, I aim to give more UK artists exposure on the blog and less US orientated. If you remember a short while ago, I blogged Chipmunk the rapper from London with quite a few accolades under his belt at the age of only 19. Well, I got some good feedback from y'all overseas on any new stuff he's got coming out and I promised I would blog his upcoming mixtape in collaboration with London MC Wretch 32.
I haven't actually had time to listen to the whole tape but a few reviews have been quite mixed so I'll leave it to the readers to give a verdict on whatchu think....

Drake - Better Than Good Enough (MTV Documentary) - Full Video








Had to blog it first for y'all who haven't seen it...... Now I can sit down and watch it !

P.S - If you're wondering, Drake sold 447,000 copies of his debut album 'Thank Me Later' (source: MTV UK). Just under Gold Certification but not what I was expecting.... Ill rant about it later lol !

Plan B - Prayin - Music Video




More talent from the UK, and this musician comes to you by the name of Plan B. Now this artist has delved into many roles such as an actor for critically acclaimed movies like Adulthood and is also a rapper (the role he was first introduced to me as). Now since making that transition from rapper into a more 'mainstream' singer, I gotta say I'm feeeeling his new sh*t.




My boy is always going on about him telling me to take a peep but as I said in my previous post due to my iPod storage problems, I've been unable to get new material on my iPod to actually meditate on. Now taking away from that, this is a musician who's music you should definitely buy. His soft melody alongside upbeat backing tracks with the brilliant aesthetics in his video ensure you stay glued to the screen, sorta like Thriller, (as I use that term very loosely at this point of time in his career)

Take a peep at his new music video and tell me whatchu think ?

McQ

Alexander McQueen Menswear Spring/Summer 2011


This is the first collection the brand has showcased under the leadership of Sarah Burton, the recently appointed Creative Director of the brand and close friend of Mr. McQueen. The new collection still holds that McQ flair with the theatrical theme revolved around the show and I like some of the things like the two-tone dye blazer, jacket and waistcoat.

Music Video - J.Cole - Who Dat


Ok, I gotta be honest.... I hear of J.Cole everywhere. He's been recommended to me on numerous occasions by my friends but I just dont have room on my iPod anymore (8gb Woes) so I need to buy a new one, cos in order to fully appreciate an artist I like to jam and take some time out listening to them and since Im always on-the-go, I cant do this at home :(



I gotta say, this video is definatly HOT.... and Im not saying that because of all the fire in the video lol (pun intended). When this guy blows globally it'll be wrap for some of the lame dudes we got out ere !

Rest In Peace - Tom Nicon


"A male model who is the face of British fashion house Burberry has killed himself by leaping 40ft from his apartment window.
Tom Nicon, 22, is suspected of jumping after becoming depressed following a split with his girlfriend.
He was found dead just hours before the start of Milan Men's Fashion Week.
Tom, who was French, was killed instantly after falling four floors from an apartment window in the centre of the Italian fashion capital.
As well as Burberry, he also worked for Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss and had just returned from a Versace rehearsal before he was found dead.
Organisers said the Fashion Week show would go ahead as planned with a tribute to Tom.
Donatella Versace said yesterday: "Tom was with us on Friday morning for a final show fitting.
"He seemed fine and calm. He had already done three or four shows with us and he was a sweet boy."
Rest In Peace to the Late Tom Nicon.

Music Video: Lady GAGA - Alejandro


Check out one of my favourite artist's new music video. She has described the motion picture as an 'homoerotic military fantasy', Lady GAGA has done it again ! Surpassing her 'Telephone' video whilst paying homage to an early 1990's Madonna look the video is directed by Steven Klein, the fashion photographer who also worked with Madonna.
The video has several religious references and Ms. GAGA has commented on it saying "It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love and it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends, but they just don't want me to be with them."
It has been report that the video was based on Madonna's Vogue music video and although this video bares some resemblance to it, the original inspiration from this movie was Steven Klein's previous work titled 'The Stephen Klein Academy' which was featured in W Magazine in August 2009. In the piece, Lara Stone the model is depicted as dominating shirtless men with bowl haircuts; the men later appear in suits and army uniforms. Lara Stone, like GaGa, is seen in various positions with the men, standing over them, clearly showing her dominance and control over the men. You can check out the photos from his previous piece at Homotography.

I personally love this video and YES I may be biased as I am quite an admirer of her musical persona, but this reminds me of the Michael Jackson era in which music videos were feature length pictures with real substance !

En-route to our Destination

Michael Kors Resort 2011
At his informal presentation, Mr. Kors said 'I hate the word resort, and cruise is worse. Cruise is some woman in a warm-up suit at a buffet table' He replaced these words with the word 'Destination', he also added he had a dream location in mind for nearly every one of the looks whilst many of them came from personal experience !
