George Ezra has premiered his new music video for "Cassy O'," the first cut and title track from UK singer songwriter's new EP of the same name, which released on March 16. Finished in fifth place on the BBC Sound of 2014's longlist, and closing 2013 with the release of his debut "Did You Hear the Rain?" EP, the 20-year-old Bristol native cites Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie as his musical influences. His sound has been described as bluesy with a voice beyond the years as he marked himself out as someone who could match a folk sensibility to a pop touch.
The debut EP is a gorgeous, folk-inflected song that perfectly introduces Ezra to the masses: a shaggy-haired musician who might be good-looking, but he's also incredibly talented. Ezra is standing on the edges, and all he needs is the right push, the right moment, the right song... Now that he's plopped firmly into pop culture consciousness, the rising star is shaking things up in a big way with "Cassy O.'" Well, "Cassy O'" could be it. Stripped from the newly-released sophomore EP, which is a strident, rough hewn effort with just a touch of gloss.
"Cassy O'" is a jangly, clap-a-long stompy number which showcases Ezra's powerful, deep vocals nicely. With the swagger that comes from hundreds of thousand Soundcloud plays, and a confident, rebellious vibe, the clip is proof that Ezra's not just one to watch - he's one to know. Adorable moppet Ezra's "Cassy O'" video sees the acceptable face of singer-songwriterdom stuck in a posh house and wandering around a family scene, guitar in hand, with a load of girls alternately fighting and masturbating, like a hipster version of Big Brother.
The accompanying music video also sees the song's namesake O represented with numerous objects, including spaghetti hoops, a rubber ring, a party ring biscuit and a vinyl. "Cassy O'" is so catchy, but be warned: Ezra's bluesy voice makes everything sound sad and the lyrics make no sense. Not that it matters. As with all songs written by someone born after 1990, let's just go ahead and assume that it's about a depraved sex act or a new drug, neither of which you'll ever do.

British four-piece girl group Neon Jungle strike back with the release of their brand new spankin' music video for the EDM-reggae rave-y club tune, "Welcome to the Jungle." Just with four feisty girlband members instead of a massive bear. Everything about those Neon Jungle ladies is big. Big hair, even bigger fangirly crushes on boybands and bloody mahoosive tunes. And their shiny new single "Welcome to the Jungle" might just be their biggest yet.
Following their first two hit and flawless singles, "Trouble" and "Braveheart," with the latter peaking at No.4 on the UK chart earlier this year. The ladies of Neon Jungle - Scot Shereen Cutkelvin, Amira McCarthy, Jess Plummer, and Asami Zdrenka revealed the naked truth to The Razz with "Welcome to the Jungle" as the third official cut to be lifted from their upcoming still untitled debut studio album, scheduled to be released this Summer via Sony and RCA Records.
The girls continues showing all potential with another club banger from start to finish mixing pop, rap and electronic music with an hypnotic and catchy. "Welcome To The Jungle" picks up where the girls left off with earth-shattering beats, insanely catchy vocals and hands-in-the-air atmospherics. It is a pretty epic electro-pop powerhouse anthem complete with sick euphoric breakdowns, an insanely catchy chorus, and a slick rapping verse to finish us off, and the EDM-tinged beat breaks are hot. Blowing a party horn.
Whilst there isn't an actual jungle in the video, Neon Jungle throw a rave in abandoned warehouse/giant club and showed their wild side when two of the girl band stripped off in a wood during filming for their dimly-lit new video. Staying true to form, the visuals see the girls hanging out in some weird woodland-y type scenario for a right old shin dig before finding themselves shrouded by neon-colored lights at a rave involving lots of foliage, a swing and some shaky camerawork. There's fire, break-dancing and plenty of awesome hair.

Anastacia is the Queen of the Nevada desert and mountains in the music video for her brand new single "Stupid Little Things," the first single from the Chicago singer's forthcoming sixth album "Resurrection," her first record in five years, due out in May 5th. Speaking about her return to music, the powerful singer said: "Writing songs helps pull you past the dark moments. Just being able to speak my story is a great help. "'Stupid Little Things' is about trying not to over think everything to make it much bigger than it is. For me it's about: don't focus on the small stuff!"
The contralto queen needs no formal introduction, having slayed the European scene with single after single of deep-voiced diva goodness ever since 2000's camp-tastic dance floor anthem, "I'm Outta Love." After dropping her cover album of male classics "It's a Man's World" in 2012, the singer revealed in February of last year that she was battling breast cancer for a second time. By summer, she'd triumphed over the disease and declared herself cancer free. And by the end of the year, she was already back in the studio recording a follow-up to 2008's "Heavy Rotation." Now, the time has finally come for her return with "Resurrection."
Kicking off the campaign is "Stupid Little Things," and it just happens to be her best song since 2004's "Left Outside Alone." Leading with a brisk, rollicking stomp that could be considered a distant cousin to Adele's "Rolling In The Deep," the 45-year-old songstress quickly tears into a blistering, rock-tinged chorus - purely the stuff of classic Anastacia - with lyrics that talk about how she doesn't want to lose the man of her life because of those stupid little things that are getting the way of her fully embracing the love they share.
It's an almighty return, and she sounds as defiant as ever. It's nice to hear those pipes wailing out from the speakers, and break out those tinted glasses - Anastacia is officially back. And "Stupid Little Things," is an almighty return and she sounds as defiant as ever. The visual was filmed in El Mirage dry lake at the Mojave desert in California in late-February, while it doesn't present high budget quality, it does a great job at showcasing the song and the singer appears vengeful and full of life as she walks down the road with several outfits and escapes desert.

Florida Georgia Line is showing off how they roll with a little help from their friends in the new music video for their latest country-rock smash "This Is How We Roll," a duet with fellow country singer Luke Bryan. The track is the fifth single featured on the deluxe edition from the American country duo's re-release edition of their platinum-selling freshman album "Here's to the Good Times," released in stores last November.
Florida Georgia Line stick to familiar themes, but deliver their most original lyric yet on "This Is How We Roll," a collaboration with Bryan. The rhymes that flow from Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley's lips are like sugar from a shaker. An especially clever second verse will be what everyone is talking about. It is a song which is definitely well within the musical pocket each of the song's writers have in their music and an obvious choice for single at some point. It's another sing-a-long, small town love type of song, but does that matter at this point, it's a song that's all about feeling good with people you love to be with.
Florida Georgia Line's new single, "This Is How We Roll," is one of those super-sized anthems that seems designed to blow the roof off an arena in your neighborhood. So, of course, the song's new video is appropriately huge. It has everything: Hubbard and Kelley singing atop a moving semi, insane motorcycle stunts from Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus, beautiful women dancing, giant explosions and guest vocalist Bryan. It's a pretty wild party, the kind that most folks don't experience in real life, but the boys all look like they're having a blast.
The Marc Klasfeld-directed video was filmed in the desert just outside of Los Angeles. The action-packed visual begins with Florida Georgia Line along with Bryan stopping their semi on the side of the road to help out their stranded X Games pals. The party then moves to the tractor trailers of an 18-wheeler and take the fun outside with plenty of girls, drinking, as the country duo and Bryan perform the song, the X Games champions show off their impressive jaw-dropping tricks on their dirt bikes to cap off the night.

The pop duo Karmin switches it up for the third visual for their new album title track "Pulses," just ahead of their very delayed debut full-length album release - a solid set of pop, rap and reggae songs. If you're familiar with this ongoing story, you know that this effort has been plagued by many delays, originally intended to be released in Q4 of 2012. The Boston engaged couple leaves behind the retro disco vibe of "I Want It All" on the album's title track - opting for an edgier mix of hip hop and pop that showcases Amy Heidemann's steady flow and Nick Noonan's vocal chops.
Judging from its long delayed full-length debut, Karmin can't quite decide whether it wants to fully embrace pop with extra cheese or comment on the genre ironically. The pop duo prove to be better at tweaking pop parameters than redefining them. The bright, thumping tracks offer flourishes of hip-hop, electro, disco and retro new-wave sources. About the album they said: "We want to call it Pulses because it's kind of like the honeymoon is over now. There's good and bad. It's not necessarily everything is happy-go-lucky tracks. There's also some serious stuff. There's definitely a lot more depth in it, which is something we've always felt we wanted to do."
But Heidemann's tongue-twisting rap delivery, clever in small doses, becomes exasperating with over-exposure. The new Video may still be the act's best medium: A Star Trek's George Takei-narrated clip for the title track improves it tremendously. The stylish pair always deliver memorable videos and "Pulses" is no exception. Largely filmed in black-and-white with the occasional splash of bold color that old-movie vibe, the clip begins with mock stock footage of scientists finding a way to visually represent sound before Noonan and Heidemann appear (shirtless and with a huge quiff, respectively) to do their thing with dancers and acrobats.
The scientists in the laboratory are studying cymatics, watching the visible representation of sound as it moves through water. They, of course, throw Karmin's newest album, "Pulses," on the record player, and the real fun begins. "Imagine how these pulses of sound might affect the human body and everything around us..." the duo jump right into the song, which features quite a bit of Noonan's vocals. Heidemann raps while Noonan provides the back up and parts of the chorus. As the song progresses, however, the beats are ramped up and color finds its way into the video, tinting it with the monochromatic colors we've come to see Karmin dressed in during the evolution of their debut album.

Shakira is a girl on fire as a runaway bride in her latest glamorous video for her wailing single "Empire," the second single off her new self-titled tenth studio album, her first studio album in four years, out Tuesday. Love, motherhood, rock roots, a dab of country here, a drop of reggae there, and of course, Latin dance rhythms. Her new album may at first blush sound as if it could be a disparate affair, but instead, it's a cohesive, organic set, with roots that lie mostly in melodic pop-rock and unexpected touches from multiple influences. There's not much Latin-ness to be found here, but it doesn't matter. The album works on the strength of the songs.
Steve Mac-produced "Empire," is a mid-tempo rock-influenced song, described as being Shakira's biggest rock transition in a long time since her earlier music. Critics had immediately noticed the '90s piano rock influences in "Empire," which is a beauty of a rock ballad that begins pared-down with vocals over solo piano in acoustic mode with a sparse intro before Shakira unleashes her inner head-banger and howls her way through the chorus. Lyrically, the track talks about a bursting passion that the singer simply cannot express in words.
On the track, which has the 37-year-old Latin songstress channeling Kate Bush, she sings about the power of one particular man's love, but he is not the man she is set to marry, "Like the empires of the world unite/ We are alive/ And the stars make love to the universe/ You're my wildfire every single night." Pretty intense. Describing the kooky rock song as surprising would be an understatement. Colombia's finest export has dabbled in guitar-pop over the years, but "Empire" is her rowdiest rock adventure by far.
In the clip, Shakira plays a runaway bride, who enters what looks like a devastated church and is about to say 'I do' to an unknown man, only to realize she's not really ready. So, she turns around and bolts out the door and leaving her guests and groom behind. The video then takes us on a visual journey as Shakira breaks free from her past relationship, literally setting it on fire. After fleeing and dancing through a grassy field in a flowing wedding dress, the singer is seen in front of the church singing the powerful rock-pop "Empire" chorus as the veil and back of her traditional white wedding dress go up in flames.

Chris Brown may be behind bars right now, but it's not stopping the singer from releasing his highly anticipated music video earlier Monday morning for his chart-topping no-love anthem, "Loyal," featuring YMCMB's Lil Wayne and Tyga, is the fourth single taken from Brown's upcoming album, "X," which is due out on the singer's 25th birthday on May 5. The new video shows a fun side of Brown who wearing a colored fishing hat, dancing outside a movie theater. Though he's surrounded by beautiful women, he won't let himself get too attached because, as he sings, "These hoes ain't loyal."
Brown shot the video just a few days after completing an anger management rehab program back in February. After he shot the video, the singer was ordered to go back to the facility for further treatment. But on March 14, Brown was taken into custody after getting booted from the treatment center after allegedly violating his probation in rehab. The singer will remain behind bars until April 23. Brown has had his ups and downs, but this is definitely a high point for him as the 24-year-old singer showing off his amazing dance moves and definitely proves that he's still a leader in the hip hop world.
Two versions of this promotional single were released. Both of them feature Wayne, but The East Coast version features French Montana as well, whilst Too Short jumps on the West Coast version. The song, is about unfaithful females, finds Brown addressing gold-digging and money-chasing women who attach themselves to famous names but have no intention of staying loyal to them. It's been reported that his lyrics include a dig at his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna's promiscuous behavior, as he sings about a girl not being loyal in a relationship.
He may be locked up, but Brown proves that he hasn't missed a beat in the dance-heavy video for "Loyal," which was directed by Brown himself The R&B superstar rounds up Wayne and Tyga, who each have rap verses in the tune, and take over Universal CityWalk in Hollywood with their Lambos, exotic animals, and beautiful women for the night. Against the lit-up marquees, Brown nails some impressive moves with his crew, while Wayne and Tyga crash the party. The 4-minute video also features celeb cameos by R&B singer Usher and Cali singer Ty Dolla $ign. Watch the trio light up the screen.

Krewella diving into a dark circus-themed story and takes you to that creepy carnival from your nightmares with a new cryptic video for their latest hit song "Enjoy The Ride," the sixth overall single taken from the Chicago EDM trio's debut studio album, "Get Wet," which was released last year. “Enjoy The Ride” highlights the best of the Yousef sisters and Rain Man bringing their fused, power punching EDM and pop. The harmonies between the sisters shines throughout, giving the song it’s pop edge with Krewella’s signature stamp of making EDM relatable and more mainstream.

Taking their fist-pumping dance jams, the success of the band's album "Get Wet" has not slowed them down a bit. The EDM trio's new video continues this trend, as they chose the subconscious of a magical and adventurous young circus dancer as the setting for "Enjoy The Ride," and telling a story about liberating people with a little help from their friends. The Kevin Tancharoen-directed visuals take their viewer on a journey through the futuristic/fantastical world of a beautiful but enslaved circus performer, cut with scenes of Yasmin singing in front of happy-go-lucky ravers. Once again, they prove that outcasts know how to party.
The video opens with the trio sitting in a forest with their followers, watching a circus via TV monitors which shows them a brand new "attraction" added to the circus and see two young kids who are being held captive in an eerie steampunk-influenced carnival: a young girl being held in a cage, and a boy visits the circus, he himself captive with a lock around his neck, and is taken into a tent to watch a show. Inside, the girl dances with Matrix-like effects but is soon interrupted by a fight at the tent entrance. The boy is freed from and runs away after a set of keys are given to him.
In the early morning, he frees the girl from the cage and they run off into the forest where children find Salvation through the magic of EDM as Krewella's followers greet them with open arms, and invite them to come and rage the pain away with them. The video ends on a bittersweet note, though, it turns out that this rescue mission was all just a dream and sadly enough the kids are still prisoners at the end. It's fascinating to see the creepy clip come together in such a short space of time. Strap yourself in for a very enjoyable ride and watch below.

Lady Gaga has just unveiled the 'opulent' music video on NBC immediately before news magazine show Dateline's Saturday Night Mystery for her third "ARTPOP" gender-bending single "G.U.Y.," an acronym for "Girl Under You." The 27-year-old pop star has no problem attaching art to music and she's not showing signs of stopping anytime soon with her new big-budget 12-minute "G.U.Y." video, which sees Gaga lying on a 'vintage' chaise-longue on the middle of a pool, performing a choreography in a golden bikini, wearing a huge head-piece, or singing the Zedd-produced EDM banger next to a harpist.
Gaga revealed to Stylist that she wrote this tune as a "new-age feminist" and explained that the track deals with embracing the female image. "Any kind of feminist has valid views for herself about what it means to be a feminist, but, as a new-age feminist, I would say I quite like the transference of strength I feel by submitting to a man - being under him," she said. "I actually wrote a song about it on my album, it's called 'GUY' and it stands for 'Girl Under You.' So wearing make-up, smelling delicious and having suckable, kissable, edible things between your limbs is something I find strengthening because I know that when I pick the right guy, I can let him have it."
The over-the-top visuals, directed by Gaga herself, were shot over six days at California’s famed Hearst Castle, which has not allowed anyone to film there since the 1960 movie "Spartacus." Gaga insists that her whole thing is "not an act," which she has said before. It's her method of expression, which she claims she'd be doing now even if she were still performing in dives on the Lower East Side. "It's interesting because in this video, the fashion and the psychotic sort of whimsy is all happening around me and it's me almost like Alice in Wonderland going through my own rabbit hole in my brain and re-experiencing the past year of my life," explained Gaga.
The clip opens with Gaga playing the role of a fallen angel face down in the ground, suited-up extras grabbing for money around her before abandoning her while "Artpop" plays. She later stumbles through a dusty terrain, collapsing at the gates of a large castle before she's placed in a pool of water, "Venus" now the soundtrack. She reemerges in a skimpy white outfit as the song everyone came for, "G.U.Y." begins. Once she reaches her Valhalla, Gaga and co. unleash a series of dance moves across the castle, both in water and out of it, while seemingly plotting her revenge against the executives grabbing for money in the opening shot. Eventually, she travels to their offices, where she has her revenge of sorts.

Justin Timberlake is taking another unconventional approach to the art of the music video with "Not a Bad Thing," debuted Thursday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and this time using the airwaves and social media to solve a romantic mystery. As the host explains, the "documentary about finding love" is based on the true story and the video is actually a search for them. The mid-tempo cheery "Mirrors"-esque pop ballad, the third single off his fourth album "The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2," is a simple declaration of love that Timberlake tells a girl that it's "not a bad thing" to fall in love with him as he will make her dreams come true.
The new video shows two documentarians, a couple setting out to find a man who using this song and proposed to his fiancée on a Long Island Railroad train en route to New York City around 8:20 p.m. January 12, 2014. "They were so in love - you almost never see that," says a female filmmaker. "We don't know who these people are or what their story is, but maybe you do. We're making a documentary about finding love. Have you seen this couple?" It turns out the man played a Timberlake song to his lady love - the proposal is simulated at the beginning of the video - and "Not a Bad Thing" plays as the filmmakers search for the elusive couple. Timberlake's voice is the only part of him present in the video.
The rest of the video follows their endeavor to find the man and woman and also enlists real-life couples to talk about their reflections on love, their proposals, marriage, relationships, the struggles in their unions as well as what they think of the couple. The documentarians are also shown flooding the NYC streets with flyers with the hashtag #haveyouseenthiscouple, stopping by a radio interview and texting each other from borough to borough, with the messages showing up on the screen, "House of Cards" style. The question became a hastag used by Timberlake to promote the pursuit and his video.
In the meantime, a Twitter account called "Find This Couple" and its respective tumblr "HaveYouSeenThisCouple" have crowdsourced the effort. The video ends with the documentarians getting out of a van to chase down another lead. "Might be them," the female filmmaker said, "Let's try it out." Then "To be continued" is super-imposed on the screen. After the premiere, DeGeneres echoed the filmmakers' plea. "So obviously if you know this couple, contact us, because Justin is trying to find you, and we'll put y'all together," she said.

New Zealand indie-pop brother-sister duo Broods (Caleb and Georgia Nott) take a sweet trip around town in their video for the breakthrough debut single "Bridges," first single taken from dreampop band's upcoming self-titled debut album, due out March 31. Now based in Auckland, Nelson siblings hook up with legendary producer Joel Little, who has helped launch Lorde to international acclaim and the comparisons with the Nott siblings are already being made. As a result, the production is similar to Lorde's downtempo, ambient alt-pop style, albeit with a slightly more heavy electronic pulse and fluttery Ellie Goulding/Imogen Heap-ish vocals from Georgia.
"Bridges," is a pop-indie crossover with introspective shades, piano, synth instrumentation and a strongly commercial chorus hook and seems destined for big things, both in New Zealand and offshore. The song, after many reviews in different websites, was dubbed as 'a potential world smash,' possibly because producer Little is also behind this New Zealand-native act too, and most certainly due to the greatness of the ballad, beautifully sung by Broods' female half, Georgia who provides amazingly sweet, expressive and distinctive vocals that ultimately creates the beauty in this track. There is nothing offensive or intrusive about any of this which is what makes "Bridges" such a breakthrough.
"And we're burning all the bridges down/Watching it all go down in flames," Goeorgia lightly coos above the heavenly production. "Bridges" already suggests heaps of promising things to come from the up-and-coming duo, and lends itself quite nicely to being played on repeat for all of eternity. The synth-pop track is simple, soft and enticing. There's something quintessentially pop about it, but it also sits on a split end, teetering toward a fall down the lavender bridge. It's the sound of riding in a black cab, and leaving someone behind in the pouring rain. Happy on the surface, but melancholic within the depths.
As for the official "Bridges" music video, which was shot in Copenhagen and directed by Jeppe Kolstrup. It's a melancholy tug of war between two young not-quite lovers with some stunning cinematography capturing Denmark's capital. The clip follows the day of two lovers in love as they explore the city streets, sit at a table by a ice-hockey rink and get wrestle-y on the carpet of a hallway floor. When the guy attempts to kiss the girl, things get ugly, though. What happened there? I thought they were in love.

Kylie Minogue is back to her cheekiest of ways with her raunchiest music video for "Sexercise," the second single to be taken from her much hyped newly-released 12th studio album "Kiss Me Once," which hit UK and US stores this week. The new album represents massive change for Kylie, who has signed to new management, Roc Nation, after 25 years with her previous manager, Terry Blamey. Having been based in the UK for years, Kylie will spend a lot more time in Australia over the next year and is set to perform at the Logie Awards in Melbourne on April 27.

This raunchy bedroom number, the hottest and raciest songs on the album, was produced by The Monsters & The Strangerz. "If you're old enough to be a VHS generation kid, you will probably manifest your own workout video in your head - Lycra is optional," Kylie said in a UK interview about the track she co-wrote with fellow Australian Sia Furler, who served as executive producer on "Kiss Me Once" along with Kylie. "'Sexercize' is a little more risqué and has pushed me," the Australian singer admitted to The Sun. "But it's still within my world. I was just pushed out to the limits a couple of times."
As for the "Sexercize" music video, what sport comes to mind when you say the words 'sex' and 'exercise'? Well, in Kylie's mind, 'gymnastics' apparently. The music video below is inspired by that beautiful and demanding sport. Kylie will show off her toned body, will exercise a bit, and 'bounce, bounce' using the 'ball.' "In what can only be described as the hottest workout video ever, Kylie introduces her fans to the hot and steamy world of 'Sexercize'," said her label. "Director Will Davidson, who also shot the viral video for 'Skirt,' takes the viewer on a voyeuristic journey working out, sweating it up in the steam room and scenes that will no doubt see gym memberships soar."
Kylie, 45, dance provocatively with another woman, while she sexily poses in a tiny gold hotpants in her 2000 Spinning Around video clip and they went on to become a symbol of her sensuality and sexiness as a pop performer. The Australian pop princess has pushed all boundaries and given her infamous gold hotpants a run for their money in the sexy stakes. As she sings: "Stretch it out baby; Yeah take your time now; I'm burning patiently; Let me see you sexercize. I'll make you wait for more; Make you ache to the core; Tomorrow you'll be sore; Let me see you sexercize; I wanna see you beat all your best times; And if you're lucky imma teach a class that'll turn you blind."

After releasing his catchy new single "Na Na" a few months ago, Trey Songz decided to heat things up and premiere the steamy new video for his DJ Mustard-produced single which is the lead single from Songz's upcoming sixth studio album, "Trigga," which is set to arrive on June 30. The Gil Green-directed visual shows Songz workin' his aggression out at the gym all while getting closer and closer to his on-screen love interest. Just the recipe for another hot and steamy video from the R&B heartthrob.
The track starts with the 29-year-old R&B singer proclaiming "Put your hands in the air, Trigga," referencing both his nickname and album title. The song's hook samples Teena Marie's 1988 single "Ooo La La La," which was later interpolated on the chorus of the Fugees' 1996 hip hop hit tune "Fu-Gee-La." Here, the Atlantic hitmaker reimagines the Fugees' classic as a sultry ode to sex and money. Superproducer DJ Mustard's exotic flute loops and bass-bumping rhythm section accompany the artist as he urges listeners to "Put your hands in the air if you're f**kin' tonight."
Last Wednesday night (March 12), R&B heavyweight Songz surprised fans and media with private screening of his sexy Fugees' sampled track "Na Na" and released video in tandem with a premiere party at Bugatta Restaurant on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Songz was accompanied by model/dancer Rosa Acosta, who co-stars alongside him in the steamy and fit new music video as well as took pictures with some of his most dedicated fans. The heartthrob is wasting no time hitting hard with the sultry, sexy, sweaty, and work up a sweat in his sexiest video yet.
After being lured into a jewelry store by Acosta, Songz ends up in a hidden gym where he loaded with passion and aggression and fit, beautiful women, as he gets a bit physical and goes through some rigorous steamy and intense workouts with a whole slew of sexy female trainers, including celeb fitness guru, Mankofit, and WWE Divas, The Bella Twins, from sharpening his boxing skills to up close and personal stretches. It all leads up to one final test, where Acosta rewarding him with an intimate private make-out session, heating up the sex-drenched black-and-white clip. Check out Songz's rigorous workout series below.

After a long wait, and snippets of teasing clips, Grammy award winner Zedd has finally released a music video for the official extended mix of his new progressive hit "Find You," which features vocals by Carly Rae Jepsen's boyfriend Matthew Koma and up-and-coming Swedish singer Miriam Bryant, dropped back in January. The song's been re-surfacing frequently, over the past couple of months, as acoustic mixes and independent remixes. It's kind of the perfect mix of dance music video meets pop love story. And the colors of course are just wonderful.
This EDM song finds Zedd linking again with "Clarity" co-writer Koma, who provided vocals on another track, "Spectrum." This time Koma shares the singing duties with Swedish vocal powerhouse, Byrant, whom Zedd first heard on German radio. They previously worked together when the German DJ made a remix of her song "Push Play" for the deluxe edition of his debut studio album "Clarity." Speaking on Vice's Thump channel, Zedd said this is a very different tune from any that he'd done before. He added: "It's a song you could easily play with a full band instead of just a DJ."
Zedd debuted a 15-second snippet of this song during the January 26, 2014 Grammy's music awards show. He performed the entire song live for the first time with Koma and Bryant during the episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 3rd. The song can be heard during Bud Light Platinum's "Turn Up Your Night" campaign, which aired for the first time during the 2014 Super Bowl. The song also featured on the soundtrack of the futuristic action-adventure film "Divergent." It's a massive hit and major dance floor bomb in one.
As for the music video, it's so high-budget and features a beautiful storyline as well as breathtaking shots of the three artists. Opening scene sees a girl dramatically getting her head out of the water in a bathtub. Bryant, Koma and Zedd will have scenes, the last two playing the guitar and the turntables, respectively, against white backdrops. The girl from the first scene and a friend will then try to save their life riding and running away from a flock of scary crows who are chasing them. How will it all end? Click 'play' below!

After his brush with death from acute pneumonia, George Michael's and finally back with a gorgeous circus-themed music video for his new piano-driven "Let Her Down Easy," the lead single from English singer-songwriter's newest sixth studio album "Symphonica," the first album of new material since 2004, out today! Having often made the news for all the wrong reasons, Michael was hoping to put the focus back on his music. Despite fears that one of the best voices of his generation might never perform again, Michael made a slow recovery and eventually resumed his tour.
Michael's in-concert album "Symphonica," was recorded after his recovered from pneumonia, reiterates his resilience as a consummate live entertainer. Produced by Michael and Phil Ramone, the legendary American producer who passed away last year at 79, "Symphonica" is a far cry from the kind of fare served up in the '80s by the singer and his former Wham! buddy Andrew Ridgeley. As befits a man of 50, this record is more refined. With elegant strings and horns adding color without being intrusive, it places the onus firmly on a smooth, expressive voice that is still in magnificent fettle.
The most interesting covers are the less obvious ones. Michael excels on Terence Trent D'Arby's touching 1993 classic "Let Her Down Easy," a poignant, subdued song written by a concerned father about his teenage daughter's coming of age. But, despite the bumpy ride behind "Symphonica," this polished return is an overdue reminder of a great British voice that might even be getting better with age. He says the orchestral accompaniment on "Symphonica" gave him the opportunity to showcase his famously mellifluous vocal skills.
The cautionary tale told in the Vaughn Arnell-directed black and white circus-themed clip follows the love story of two circus performers - a handsome, love-experienced ringmaster and a virginal young acrobat - who have a romantic interlude. It's already a given that the young man is going to have his way with the girl who retires to her home where she strips naked and is greeted by her co-star. But, as the title suggests, the song's lyrics implore the guy to not lead the girl on and just deflate her hopes for a future relationship as gently as possible. It's very sexual and very emotional. Watch the heartbreaking tale play out below.

Austin Mahone is on a roll! After showing off his softer side with his smooth new love song "U," the 17-year-old singer reminded us that he's still got all the right moves in his brand new dance-heavy video for his fun and infectious dance song "MMM Yeah," his new collaboration with the omnipresent and pop mogul Pitbull. The duo sounds like a dubious combination on paper, but "Mmm Yeah" is a curiously catchy pop, which is shaping up to be the first big hit of the rising teen's career.
Like his most recent hit, "Banga Banga," this one is a total, well, banger. "MMM Yeah," the following promotional single and third overall from pop star's upcoming debut album "Senior Year," is a club-ready dance jam with major hip hop vibes that you seriously won't be able to get out of your head after one listen. The track is as fun, flirty and irresistible as the pop star himself, and it's got a beat that's made for busting moves to. The new catchy song is just more proof that Mahone is maturing from an artist to watch to a talent to be reckoned with.
The Gil Green-directed flashy video is a fairly straightforward pop visual that recalls a classic and doubles as an inspired homage to a music video from the days of yore (aka 1996): Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity." It features Mahone showing off some of his fanciest footwork yet as he moving throughout an enclosed room that includes sliding floors, mobile furniture and glowing lights, while Mr. 305 just stands there and does his awesome thing. They wear matching leather outfits and spend most the video riding a giant conveyor belt with a bunch of pretty young ladies. It makes them look like the world's coolest/creepiest (can’t decide) father and son but it kind of works.
The video was always going to be an experience and the unlikely duo certainly delivers the goods. After all, it takes some stones to step to a classic. And as Mahone begins his journey as pop's next great hope, that confidence will undoubtedly serve him well. It's a cool, confident clip, one that shows off his attributes, and puts his best foot forward. And while his contemporaries are busy attempting to distance themselves from the past, Mahone's embracing it; and it's a good look for him.

Jennifer Lopez objectifies men and rocks familiar looks in her sultry new music video for "I Luh Ya Papi," featuring rapper French Montana, during Thursday's episode of American Idol. The saucy clip, directed by Jessy Terrero and shot in Miami, is the first music video off Lopez's eighth studio album, turns the tables on pop music, rap video stereotypes and objectifies men for a change. It also features throwbacks to Lopez's most famous looks of all time, including her "On the 6" album artwork, her "I'm Real" music video and the infamous Versace cleavage-and-more-baring dress she wore to the Grammys in 2000.
Produced by Noel "Detail" Fisher, this upbeat, summery "I Luh Ya Papi" finds Lopez expressing her "luh" for her beau, and she enlisted fellow Bronx native Montana, who jumps in at the end reciprocating the feelings for his true love. Released as the lead single from the singer's upcoming eighth album, the sunny and infectious tune got its first play during Lopez's trip to Power 106's New at 2 show with Yesi Ortiz on March 5, and has also spawned a remix from Big Sean. "My roots are hip-hop, my roots are R&B, my roots are pop, my roots are Latin," Lopez told Power 106. "All that always comes out in my records. I've always found that when I follow my own heart, that's when my music is the best. This album is right back to that for me."
Sick of all the under-dressed ladies that rappers like to have decorating their sets like sexy lawn ornaments? So is Lopez who's still Jenny from the block, as the 44-year-old diva clearly wanted to spice things up a bit, breaks it down and have men's bodies exposed for once instead of women's. That's why she decided to switch things up and put male eye candy in tiny bikini bottoms, slather them in oil and perch them around the pool. And it's pretty glorious! This isn't exactly moving us past the sexual objectification of music videos, but it sure is fun to watch.
After being pitched some lame treatments for video, the American Idol judge and her girlfriends dream up a concept where the men are the ones being objectified: "Why do men always objectify the women in every single video? Why can't we for once objectify the men?" Cue a fully-clothed Lopez sitting in bed with two naked men "for no reason" whatsoever. The entertainer and her dancer pals then change into matching denim looks before boarding their yacht. Once on board, the women are once again surrounded by quite a lot of the shirtless and almost bottomless men. Luckily for Montana who escapes the blatant objectification when he shows up for his verse. Watch Lopez turns the tables while paying homage to her past in this fun and flirty video.

Ellie Goulding gets lost in a forest in the enchanting music video for the ethereal "Beating Heart," one of the many contributions the British songstress that are featured on the "The Divergent: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack," just released this week. "Divergent," the upcoming new teen movie sensation, will open in theaters across the States on March 21. The quirky pop goddess was appearing on MTV's studio with the cast of "Divergent," namely stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James on Wednesday when the official visuals for the tune were given their first outing.
Goulding wrote this song specifically for the film "Divergent," which is an adaptation of Veronica Roth's popular teen novel of the same name, and she also lent three of her "Halcyon "tracks to the film. "'Beating Heart' is about being away from someone or knowing that you're always going to have to be apart from someone that you really love," Goulding has told MTV News. "And it's painful, but it's hopeful because there's always a chance that they'll collide again like two people collide. Like the universe will bring them back together. I think the song is basically that. Sort of relying on the fact that if you're meant to be drawn back together you will be."
The 27-year-old star also provided the "musical voice" for lead character Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley). "For me, the movie is about a young woman finding herself, transforming herself and becoming powerful on a societal stage," explains director Neil Burger. "It's an intimate, personal portrait, but on a grand scale. Ellie's music has that very intimate quality. You are in the heart of her characters, in their souls, in their minds. When she sings her voice resonates inside you. Her music was a perfect way to do all that for Tris—to feel what she was feeling inside."
In the nearly four-minute visuals, Goulding singing the song while walking around and wandering through a forest , and she's not sure where she's going. Dressed in a lovely short silk black dress, she will eventually face her lover who is also sporting a Dauntless fire tattoo, matching hers, inspired by the dystopian movie. With the dark hues and magical forest atmosphere, it's like we've stepped back into the Twilight days, sans sparking vampires. By the end, she wants to feel his beating heart, finally meeting her tempter face-to-face.

Hunter Hayes goes for full-on inspirational in the touching video for his latest single, "Invisible," debuted at this year's Grammy Awards in January 26, is the first single from Hayes' sophomore set, "Storyline," out May 6. This new clip depicts the struggles described in Hayes' powerful song, a complex and satisfying expression of vulnerability, plays out various scenarios in which people, especially students, can feel as if they are invisible. Feeling low? Have you ever felt invisible? Hayes' "Invisible" will get you through today.
Hayes is only 22, but the young country artist is going to be hearing from fans for the rest of his career about how his current single, "Invisible," helped them through a rough time. The uplifting song, is about overcoming personal struggles and adversity, whether from bullying or loneliness, a subject that is close to the singer's heart. The message of "Invisible" is more than just your new pick-me-up anthem, but also has a quantifiable real-life impact: For every download of the song from iTunes, 'Child Hunger Ends Here' will donate the equivalent of one meal to 'Feeding America,' up to one million meals.
Hayes spoken earlier about writing this piano ballad about his being bullied in high school, "To me it's also just about being misunderstood. Just me being in high school, just the smallest scale I know compared to a lot of stories that I've heard, a lot of people that I've met... yes, I was a total geek, I was a total nerd, and you know, I still am, and I'm proud of that. But it took me a while to realize that it's OK to be proud of that, right? Because in that time and period of my life, if you didn't fit in, what else was there? Fortunately for me I had incredible parents, I had an incredible support system, musicians around me, and that showed me that there was hope that there was maybe something else I could look forward to."
The clip opens on a night drive amidst gleaming lights, but the '80s-synth nightmare of "Drive," this is not. Instead, the video features vignettes of people down on their luck or faced with a rough situation: a mother ignored by her son, a girl picked on in class, a hungry kid coming home to an empty fridge. Soon, in comes Hayes to the rescue: "Hear me out/ There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now," Hayes sings as the country-pop track swells to an electric climax. Some nifty special effects help the actors bring the song's title to life, but as Hayes delivers an emotional guitar solo, they go from fading to glowing.

Nina Nesbitt has unveiled the video for her cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop," which is included on the Deluxe edition of her debut studio album, "Peroxide," is filled with snappy pop songs about growing up, first love and heartbreak, released on Valentine's Day. The Scottish-Swedish singer-songwriter and guitarist recorded her cover version of the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac's 1976 hit rock track for the department store John Lewis last August, and it has been used in one of their advertising campaigns as she entered the hallowed clique of female singer-songwriters to have soundtracked.
Discovered by Ed Sheeran at the age of 16, and gained exposure as his support act, the Scots starlet is just 19-year-old, but her debut album "Peroxide" looks as if it's about to top the charts as the most pre-ordered record in the history of her record label. Nesbitt has already released several EPs, but the deluxe edition of her new album contains an impressive twenty tracks - quite a feat for somebody who only picked up a guitar four years ago. With her pretty, doll-like features and great big mane of dyed blonde hair, Nesbitt stares out of the cover of her debut album like a standard-issue pop starlet.
Following in the footsteps of friend and fellow female singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin, Nesbitt's cover of Fleetwod Mac's "Don’t Stop" for a John Lewis advert is perhaps a little muted and forced, but nonetheless showing off her versatility. The original "Don't Stop" reflects Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie's feelings after her separation from Fleetwood Mac's bass guitarist, John McVie, after eight years of marriage. "'Don't Stop' was just a feeling. It just seemed to be a pleasant revelation to have that 'yesterday's gone'," she remembers in The Fleetwood Mac Story: Rumours and Lies, "It might have, I guess, been directed more toward John, but I'm just definitely not a pessimist."

Nesbitt explained of the new single: "I have always loved Fleetwood Mac and am really glad that John Lewis liked my version of Don't Stop." If you've been anywhere near a tellybox over the past few weeks you'll probably have seen their new ad with Nesbitt's vocal chops chucked over the top of it. And now Nesbitt's made her very own video for the quirky little Fleetwood Mac cover. The clip basically features an actual real life tortoise and sees Nesbitt perform in a house, whilst a guy is pictured showering in blue paint (practical) and lots of amazing hair and clothes.

Lily Allen goes on a long taxi ride in the music video for her newest catchy ditty "Our Time," the third official single, following "Hard Out Here" and "Air Balloon," to be lifted from the British singer-songwriter's upcoming third solo studio album "Sheezus," will finally hit shelves on May 5th through Regal Records; more than five years after her last collection "It's Not Me, It's You" in 2009. The artwork for "Sheezus" sees her sitting outside a stately home with her corgis, while the building is engraved with the Latin motto 'divide et impera' (divide and rule).
She's coming back to pop music in a big way. While Allen's "Hard Out Here" video was playfully skewered Robin Thicke's misogyny, her new single "Our Time" takes a page out of his VMAs twerking partner's playbook. The latest "Sheezus" track, celebrated with hot dog fights and flasks, is basically Allen's version of Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," a girl-party jam that makes no apologies about getting drunk and high: "We will wear our drink til we lose our minds / Wanna lose sense of space and time / We're going through, it's how we do / Tonight we're taking over."
The satirical 3AM party anthem "Our Time," is more downtempo than previous releases and probably the best tune to be revealed from her eagerly awaited new album. The 28-year-old has been showcasing plenty of new material in recent months, including her addition towards the the popular "Girls" soundtrack. With a little over two months until the release of "Sheezus," the London singer reveals an equally entertaining video for "Our Time," which chronicles a booze-filed and drunken late-night in London through a familiar journey of grabbing food, getting into an argument and the long taxi ride home.
Directed by Christopher Sweeney, the boozy Lahndan-themed clip features a hilarious plot and shows Allen getting drunk and seeing triple with a number of different versions of herself in the back of a taxi cab, going for a wild ride, enjoying a night, performing the song, driving around the streets of London, and, at one point, wearing a hot dog costume and eventually getting into a fight with one of her doppelgangers. There's also some bonding, crying, passing out, stiffing a taxi driver, and stumbling home in the early hours of morning. And she's definitely on her worst behavior.

Kaiser Chiefs recently released a new music video for their comeback single "Coming Home," the first official single to be lifted from British indie rock's forthcoming new album "Education, Education, Education & War," which marks a new era for the band and will be released in the UK on March 31 and in the US on April 1 via Universal Music. The return of English rock band Kaiser Chiefs is around the corner. After promoting the first buzz tracks "Misery Company" and "Bows & Arrows," the world is ready to enjoy its upcoming new album.
Some songs are made to fill summer stadiums as the last light falls over the crowd. Kaiser Chiefs' new single "Coming Home," a U2/Kings of Leon-ish stadium-sized ballad, is one of them. There's a softer flow to "Coming Home," with light synth chords and twinkling guitars. It's a bit like Mancunian mystics James, for all you gnarled veterans out there, and boasts a second singalong chorus on the trot ("We're coming home... light a fire") to prove once again that those chops are still intact, however hard will.i.am tries to infect frontman Ricky Wilson with his anti-joy miasma.
The 'one shot' promo was shot in the Yorkshire Dales, not far from the band's hometown, and was directed by James Slater who took the songtitle to heart in his latest video for Kaiser Chiefs. As he explained: "We shot the video in a jovially named place called Blubberhouses which is right on the southern cusp of the Yorkshire Dales, and not too far from where I'm from. Its also just up the road from where the band hail. I think we all just hankered after a bit of home cooking. I've never shot in Yorkshire before, I should do it more often. The landscapes are great and as soon as DOP Jonathan Isles put the anamorphic lens on, it looked like a Western setting."
The video features Wilson share a journeyman's trek, walk up a path in what looks like the English countryside as he strolling across moors, while various characters, including his bandmates are lined up along the pathway, and finishing up alongside his bandmates in deck chairs looking down the road. The meaning behind the small details of the video coordinate with the song, and are really rich here with Wilson's quality as a performer, embraces the band's laddish humor, and adds a welcome measure of theatricality to the whole affair.

Kings of Leon are steady rolling out videos from their 2013 album "Mechanical Bull." This time, the band of brothers strip away the drama and the actors and keeps it simple with a straightforward performance video that they have just released for their song "Temple," the second official and third overall taken from the rock band's sixth studio album, "Mechanical Bull," the band's first album in three years sees the Tennessee rockers attempting to rediscover their early spark, but falling frustratingly short. The yearning "Temple," which sits neatly in the middle of the 11-track release, is perhaps the best thing they've written in five years, and certainly the most effortless.
Self-assured, conventional, and damned if it's not pretty effective, Kings of Leon's "Temple" neatly sums up the strengths of "Mechanical Bull." This song about taking a shot in the head for a prospective lover, was penned in a South African hotel room. "Obviously things changed when we got in the studio, like the intro, but it felt like a '90s song to me," frontman Caleb Followill told Billboard magazine. "That's when we were listening to a lot of music, and still when we play it, we crack up the whole time, this the most radio friendly song..." According to drummer Nathan Followill, the breakdown in the song is the band's ode to Irish rockers Thin Lizzy.
Kings of Leon's confident throwback "Temple" Video. In fact, much of the Paul Greenhouse-directed vintage-style visuals mix with a no-frills performance of "Mechanical Bull" standout, which they've already given on both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Saturday Night Live. But the song has a "by Mennen" catchiness that the unshowy presentation only boosts. And the lyric about how Caleb would "take one to the temple" is more than a reference to Kings of Leon embedding themselves in some cranial pleasure zone.
Largely washed with a vintage effect, the video was filmed half on nice modern cameras, and half on and old-fashioned hand-held Super 8 camera that makes Instagram filters shiver in their boots to posterize their footage into blurry oblivion. The new clip also serves as a nice homage to the band's hometown of Nashville and is made up of shots of the band playing the song in front of the sign on the album cover giving Caleb plenty of screen time to tell us rather over-romantically that he'd "take one in the temple" for us. Together, they evoke both the reason the Followill clan do this and the old-fashioned pride in craft with which they do it.

At any given point during a night at the club, you'll only find a fraction of the clientele actually dancing, while the rest order drinks and chat in the periphery. Unless the DJ is spinning that song - you know, that one jam that makes everyone drop what ever they're doing and rush out onto the floor. With his debut single, "Calling All Hearts," Booth newcomer DJ Cassidy was clearly angling to write that song. On this high-energy cut, the Columbia Records signee's electrifying disco boardwork bangs in the back as Grammy nominee Robin Thicke and British pop hitmaker Jessie J exercise their powers of persuasion, urging couples to get a little bit closer and wallflowers to abandon their positions on the sidelines.
Cassidy's vibrant new video for his feel good upbeat party anthem, "Calling All Hearts" is a disco inspired Dance hit with some R&B flavor and is about to be a R&B dance party! The exuberant retro song pays tribute to the golden era of Club music, and like the rest of Cassidy's upcoming debut LP "Paradise Royale," due in May, it honors the disco era of late '70s and early '80s by purposely avoiding modern studio techniques like sampling and recycling established material. "Four years ago, I set out on a mission to bring the greatest and most universal dance music of all time back to the airwaves, back to nightlife, back to the dance floor," Cassidy told Rolling Stone.
The X-directed video was shot in London and is equally epic affair, which begins and ends with a storyline that features Cassidy and a girlfriend. Initially she leaves him after forcing him to make a difficult decision, but after Cassidy enters a hat store and gets a complimentary hat, she changes her tune and they reunite. The celebrity DJ gets dumped by his girl in the black-and-white intro before he's whisked away to a pink soundstage after buying a magical hat. It's like 'The Wizard Of Oz' with a disco soundtrack!
Aiding in dancing away Cassidy's pain are pals Jessie J and Thicke, not to mention a 13-piece band in preppy sweaters jamming on a 52 square-foot flamingo-pink lacquer heart-shaped "Paradise Royal" stage, surrounded by flamboyant pink flamingos and palm trees, while Cassidy rocks the CDJ's in a lime green tuxedo jacket and his signature 1920's boater hat. The jubilant song bounds along on a pop-funk-disco euphoria, despite all the hangdog mugging that opened the video. That's because, much like chewing gum and walking, it's almost impossible to dance and mope at the same time. Watch the candy-colored visual below.

Hedley are back and continues musical journey with their latest Juno-nominated fifth studio album "Wild Life." After the international success achieved with its lead single "Anything," the Canadian rock outfit is ready to impact the world with the next as they released a dark music video for their follow-up single "Crazy For You," which is a Justin Timberlake inspired dance/pop track with with a fury of flashy pop hooks hurled through a powerful disco-funk-pop production that just won't leave your head.
Hedley has their collective finger on the pulse of what is driving present day pop music, and the Vancouver pop rockers shows its positively wild side with their latest effort "Wild Life," which is all about channeling positivity, appreciating the little things around you and finding a way to always see the light at the end of the tunnel. On "Wild Life," the band toyed with a wide array of synths and electronic gizmos, espousing a pop sound that owes much to the slick '80s but is also very much aligned with the trends of the day. And the disco-fied "Crazy For You" totally takes its cue from Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
Time after time, the guys of Hedley manage to churn out music videos that always seems to possess their unique brand of fun. Whether they're playing in the midst of a crazy house party ("Anything") or in the street as a pair of lovers meet thanks to the world's most dangerous meet-cute (a car crash in "Kiss You Inside Out"), the band never fails to impress us with their imagination. The frontman Jacob Hoggard and the boys of Hedley take a darker turn in their newest dark video for "Crazy For You," which was directed by J.Lee Williams and Timur Musabay.
We've always known that Hedley is a little kooky, but we never thought we'd actually see them in a pysch ward. In "Crazy For You" video, they literally go crazy as they are trapped and get locked up in a hyper stylized mental asylum, but break free their padded cells and go on the run from what appears to be hoards of crazed fans. Hedley only to discover the outside world isn't what they remembered it to be and may be in worse shape than inside the crazy house! The clip definitely sends the message of a crazy kind of love.

We've been buzzing about MTV Artist To Watch Tori Kelly since 2012, but by far one of our fave Stan moments was her House Of Blues Sunset set in January. Remember when she slayed our souls with "Dear No One" then raised our adrenaline with a surprise "Right There" duet with Ariana Grande? Well, brace yourself for even more feels thanks to Kelly's new video for "Paper Hearts." Fair warning, though: You'll probably need a box or three of tissues to get this breakup anthem's clip, which is drowning us in feels and is getting rave reviews.
The buzz around Kelly continues to grow with the second promotional cut from her critically acclaimed debut EP "Foreword," which was released last October. The talented 21-year-old songstress follows "Dear No One" with simple acoustic gem "Paper Hearts," which puts the focus on the rising star's songwriting ability and pretty voice as she channels a seventies rock 'n' roll vibe. Signed to Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, the up-and-coming Capitol Records recording artist is planning to release a debut album later this year.
Just like the song, the Andrew Rose-directed video is powerful and a sentimental affair - melds two tales - that finds Kelly looking at old photos and reflecting on happy memories with her man. That part is great but half-way through she disappears and dancer Ian Eastwood spends the rest of the visual performing kooky slow choreography. It's certainly different! The first is of Kelly and her presumed boyfriend enjoying carnivals and quiet walks on train tracks. No tears there, unless you're crying over Kelly's cashmere-soft vocals and gentle guitar-strumming.
Too bad these are just memories of a failed love swimming through Kelly's mind as she eyes a bunch of old Polaroids! Cue the tears, but at least Kelly's boo has some fancy, interpretive dancing to perfectly capture the pain, frustration, and sadness we're vicariously feeling. It features choreographer/dancer Ian Eastwood, who creates a masterpiece through dance in the video. On the brighter side, we've at least learned a new way to break up with someone when you can't find the words: dance it out!

Nearly 20 years after "Clueless" hit theaters, Iggy Azalea pays homage and brings a new attitude to the 1995 cult classic in the throwback video for "Fancy," co-starring British alt-pop songbird Charli XCX with the bragging on the rowdy hook. The Aussie rap queen rules the halls of Beverly Hills High School as socialite Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) in the X-directed clip. The blonde bombshell went back into the memory vaults and filmed at the same high school where "Clueless" was shot, inviting 250 fans to be a part of the video.
Azalea rocked a '90s wardrobe straight out of Cher's designer closet and even shut down the freeway while recreating one scene. This is the best thing ever! We are just so behind this, we can't even tell you. Naturally, Azalea is our Cher and she brought Charli XCX along with her to sing the chorus and stand in for Tai. Not only do we get the opening debate scene, but snippets of tennis practice, the party, and the hallway cell-phone strut. Azalea and co. even went through the trouble of recreating the freeway scene, complete with swerving Mac trucks. That's dedication and it works like gangbusters.
This bouncy hip-pop song itself, is all about the high-flash, high-glam, high-cost lifestyle, finds Azalea letting the world know why she's the hottest female rapper in the game over a stripped back production driven by a retro-induced synth. The song was premiered on Mistajam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show on February 6 and released as the fourth single from Azalea’s long-awaited solo debut, "The New Classic," is due out on April 15 featuring collaborations with T.I., Mavado, Watch the Duck, and Katy Perry, who co-wrote her next single. The Aussie rapper makes a case for why she's "The New Classic."
The clip is basically a throwback to that absolute '90s teen blockbuster 'Clueless,' and takes us all the way back to 1995, when Alicia Silverstone was just a valley girl with a heart of gold. But Azalea, isn't some ditzy blonde, instead she's making it clear she's a girl with some expensive taste, and exudes confident sex appeal, flipping her golden locks relentlessly and shaking it in her pleated skirt. But all Azalea really wants is to solidify her fancy status. The fun, high school party scene takes the video to a whole new level, thanks to some red cups, cute choreo and classic teenage debauchery. It's clear that Azalea is working harder than ever and making a play to become Queen Bee of female MCs.

If you're a young British girl group who are traveling down the tried-and-true road paved by the Spice Girls, and you've been commissioned to record the official 'Sports Relief' charity single, then you'd best enlist Melanie 'Sporty Spice' Chisholm, aka, 'Mel C' for at least a cameo in the music video. And actually, that's exactly what Little Mix did for their "Word Up!" visual. The ladies of the X Factor girlband have taken a few tips from Mel C as they hit a gleaming fitness center and channeled their 1990s Sporty Spice look for their version of Cameo's track.
The new song is not included on the album because it's confirmed as the 2014 Sport Relief single. Sport Relief is a biennial charity event in conjunction with Comedy Relief, merges entertainment with sport to raise money and awareness to people both in the UK and the world's poorest countries. Each year, Sport Relief has a single used to promote the charity event. This year's Sport Relief fundraiser will take place between March 21 and March 23. "We've all seen people push themselves and do incredible things for Sport Relief, so it's a dream come true to be releasing the official single this year," Perrie Edwards previously said.
The R&B/funk song, "Word Up!" is a cover of American soul-influenced funk group Cameo's 1986 funk-pop classic hit of the same name, which has also been a hit for Gun and Spice Girl Mel B, will be released on March 16 with a CD on sale the following day, and it can be pre-ordered on iTunes now. The star-studded video is a virtual camp fest that finds the quartet aerobicising and creating all-around chaos while several well-known faces flash by the camera, including Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, Lara Croft: 'Tomb Raider' actor Chris Barrie and, of course, Spice Girls star Mel C.
The sports themed promo sees the four girls all exercise with a number of famous faces, and pulled out their best Sporty Spice impressions as they showed off their incredible gym gear and burst into action in a selection of funky running gear and appear to break quite a sweat on the treadmill and spin bikes as they dance energetically around. With Jade 'sporting' (wheeey) some cute coral leggings with a pink sports bra, Jesy rocking her trademark basketball jersey and minxy eye make up, Leigh-Anne looking like a total tennis megababe and Perrie pouting away in a monochrome number, and yes, we're really missing the 90s today.
