I like this kid, easy to listen to but he sounds abit too much like Kanye

Introducing...... Jessie J

If it weren't for bloggers like MitchandSuave and RWD Mag's latest issue, I wouldn't be as clued up as I am on Jessie J. She is a very talented singer and songwriter from my side of the pond, hailing from Essex. She has been dubbed one of the biggest acts to watch out for in the upcoming year by many media outlets, currently signed to Island and Lava Records, she has quite a few acolades already as she co wrote Miley Cyrus's 'Party In The USA' , she's also written for Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake who titled her as 'the best singer in the world right now'. With titles like that she's bound to work on her own material and here is her first official single 'Do it Like A Dude'.

The video is edgy with rock chic all over, when I was going through the YouTube comments I realised everyone was making comparisons to her style as a mix between Lady GaGa, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. I can see why people would make that comparison but it seems she is still an artist with her own identity, also it would be safe to say that if she's being compared to the best female artists around right now then this can't be a bad thing.

Whatchu think of Jessie J ?

A Universal Language

So I started my day by hitting up Twitter as usual checking what's poppin, and to my suprise two bands were trending on the #TT's. Now you're probably wondering why I was suprised, well the two bands were from South Korea who just dropped some hot material on the web. Being the intrigued person I am, I went and done some research (YouTube and Wikipedia of course) and then before I noticed, I was listening to music that wasnt in English and really enjoying it. So today, Im going to introduce to those who haven't heard of em 'B2ST' and 'SHINee'.

B2ST (pronounced BEAST) is a boy band from South Korea that consists of 6 members. They are 'Kinda A Big Deal' down in Korea with 3 only EP's. They are known for their hot dance moves and explosive vocal ranges, and this was an accurate description as I decided to hear their latest single from their latest 5 track E.P 'Mastermind'. The single from this E.P is titled 'Breath' also known as 'SOOM', I can't tell you precisely much about what the song is about but judging by the video, the concept is 'I can't breath without you here' sorta like 'No Air' but much edgy. I love the video cos it seems alot more epic than stuff we've been used to recently especially down here in the U.K.

Take a peep at the full video here....

You can buy the mini-album NOW

Next up, it's SHINee (pronounced Shinyy) also a boy band from South Korea. Formed in 2008 with an impressive sized fan base, people often find themselves in #TeamSHINee or #TeamB2ST like the Twilight Movie stans. With 3 E.Ps and 2 albums, these guys have been putting in the work so they deserve it, they have their own fashion trend that was dubbed the 'SHINee trend' and product endorsements with brands such as Smart and Reebok. Their latest E.P 'Hello' will be the repackaged version of their E.P 'Lucifer', with the first single being the E.P title 'Hello' the track is refreshingly cool, and this time I was able to find out what the track actually means.... Here's an extract from the chorus - 

[All] Hello, hello

[Key] I brought up the courage

[All] Hello, hello

[Onew] I want to talk to you for a moment

[All] Hello, hello

[Jonghyun] I may be rushing a bit

[All] Who knows? We might

[Taemin] End up doing well
