Today's Pick

The British singer Cheryl Cole sums up pretty much how she feel right now and lounges in bed in the music video for her long-awaited new single, "I Don't Care," whose audio she had radio premiered just two days ago. The 80's dance song, is the second official single taken from Cheryl's upcoming fourth solo album, "Only Human," establishing her position as pop royalty, due out November 24. Spending a lot of the time waving her arms around and up, close, and personal with the camera, Cheryl looks completely flawless and makes us think that we probably wouldn't care about much if we looked as good as her either.
Carefree! The upbeat anthem celebrates the exciting new chapter in Cheryl's life. The message of the catchy pop song probably means a lot to Cheryl, who is now married and loving life again in July after a three-month long relationship, singing: "Everyone is saying I have to slow it down or I'll get hurt again." A fresh-faced and glowing Cheryl really doesn't care as she chants irreverent lyrics "I don't care and it feels so f****** good to say, I swear that I don't care."
Speaking of her latest upbeat anthem, which will be officially released on November 9, the Newcastle native explained it reflected how she's feeling about her current state of mind and life at the moment. "I'm a woman now; I'm at that age that things don't bother me like they used to," Cheryl noted. Focusing on what matters: "I still care about things, but I've discovered what's important to care about, and what's most definitely not," she mused.
In the four minute long summery clip, was shot in Marbella, Spain, the 31-year-old beautiful Geordie chanteuse shows off her playful side with a more laid-back and natural look than usual, as she walking by the beach, sunbathing with a group of her girlfriends on a yacht in a white crop-top, denim shorts and bright pink sunglasses, while feeling like the queen of the world at the top of a mountain. The stunning star also shows off her flat abs in a yellow crop-top while her ombre locks bounce about in loose waves.

Cheryl Cole is back and whetted fans' appetites with a preview performance of her new single, "Crazy Stupid Love" during the final of Britain's Got Talent last weekend. She managed to turn up the heat when she performed her new single, but it seems Cole's stage show was just a warm up for her scorching video which she unveiled on Tuesday morning. The 30-year-old former Girls Aloud star is sexier than ever as she gyrates, twerks and generally dances up a storm while wearing a daring crop top in the raunchy dance-fuelled video.
"Crazy Stupid Love," described as 'a blast of feel-good pop,' sees Cole collaborate with Brit rapper Tinie Tempah, as well as songwriter Wayne Wilkins, who wrote her million-selling debut "Fight For This Love." Served as the first single from Cole's upcoming (as yet untitled) fourth album release in the autumn, "Crazy Stupid Love" also marks her return to music after a two-year break with her new single due for release via Polydor Records on July 20 - shortly before she makes her television comeback on the panel of The X Factor.
Shot in May over a course of 20 hours in Hackney's underground club, the Colin Tilley-directed clip is certainly full of energy and sex appeal as she looks sensational wearing a just a low-cut tiny bralet top and harem pants and writhes around, and gives Miley a run for her money while surrounded by a hoarde of dancers. The X Factor judge opts for the tired "werkin' it in the club" concept and really lets loose in the shoot, doesn't hold back while displaying some high-energy dance routines. At one point in the video she can be seen twerking while lying down - demonstrating some pretty impressive bottom muscles, a glimpse of her cleavage as well as her massive back tattoo.
Her hair, which has an ombre effect, is full of plenty of volume, flying all over the place with the help of strategically placed wind machines. The video has a very upbeat feeling to due to Cole's happy demeanor. Speaking last week about her racy video, she admits it's more 'grimy' than her usual videos as she revealed: "The video isn't what I've done before and in terms of lighting and stuff, it's a bit more grimy! 'Cos the songs quite up, and pop, it's got that feel, so I wanted it to have the urban twist. It's a bit more of that urban vibe."

While most of us may have been waiting for Santa at the strike of midnight, Cheryl Cole had other things on her mind, as she gets her swagger on in the brand-new music video for her track, "Ghetto Baby," the eighth song from Cheryl's latest third solo album, "A Million Lights." Released the video via The Hunger magazine as a extra Christmas Day treat for fans via Twitter, Cheryl struts and dances like there's no tomorrow in this rather-cheap, but good-nevertheless 90s style clip.
This urban ballad "Ghetto Baby," is an R&B song influenced by synthpop and trip hop which was penned by American singer Lana Del Rey with Roy Kerr and Anu Pillai and produced by Kid Gloves. The Girls Aloud singer is a big fan of the "Video Games"singer and was interested to learn there were plenty of songs penned by her that she wasn't planning on recording herself. Speaking to Capital FM, Cheryl explained how she got to know Del Rey: "I noticed Lana about a year ago," she said. I was hearing these songs that were really fresh to my ear and amazing and I asked the guy who she was and he said, 'Watch out for her, it's a girl called Lana Del Rey'." She continued: "It all happened really organically just like that. And then 'Video Games' came out and I fell in love with her as an artist as well."
Cheryl steams up the heat for her new promo, which was directed by celebrity fashion photographer John Rankin Waddell and also features her dancer boyfriend Tre Holloway, as we see Cheryl seduces the camera with her sexy move and gets touchy feely with her dancer beau, while executing some hard, urban choreography that was utilized during her recent "A Million Lights" tour. "I love working with @rankinphoto so much that I did this exclusively for him," the 29-year-old British songstress said about the music video's director/fashion photographer.
The clip is a simple photoshoot-style clip with plenty of street dance and glamour shots. We already knew that the Almighty Aloud temptress can fight for our love with just a single glance–this isn’t the first time Cheryl's writhed around sexily for Rankin, after all. But this time around, she's serving up some of her most ferocious street dance/krumping to boot. Passions of Girls Aloud flashbacks galore!

Cheryl Cole charms, shocks, and annoys people with her carefree demeanor in a fun and happy music video for her brand new single, "Under the Sun," the second cut follow up to her dance smash lead single "Call My Name," and taken from the British singer's latest third solo album, "A Million Lights." The UK diva has graduated from slinking around in Los Angeles' reservoirs in her "Call My Name" video to strutting her retro-leaning stuff around the streets of London in her visual for "Under The Sun."
The song offers a weird and hugely enjoyable cocktail of tinny synthesiser, vast Chemical Brothers-style breakbeat and football-terrace backing vocals. The 29-year-old Girls Aloud member sings about a complicated love affair, "I'm sure you'll tell me anything under the sun," in the bubbly chorus for the Alex Da Kid-produced beat, which Cheryl said, "It's a really fun song. It's about a guy telling you anything you want to hear to get his way, and you saying, 'actually, normally I wouldn't, but today I might."
The sun shines throughout the promo as Cheryl explores the town and dances with well-dressed men and spends most her time looking like a supermodel while making every dude around her crazed with "Cheryl Fever," in this retro-inspired clip, which sees the star opt for a more classic route this time around. Capitalizing on the 1960s trend that's going around as late, Cheryl traveled back in time for her "Under the Sun" video, which opens in an old school bar while playing songs on a jukebox.
The 'Parachutes' star parades down a busy town street, dressed in a long fitted red skirt and cream top with her hair up in a beehive style, as she greets neighbors and passers-by. Eventually, a bevvy of 50's-era-inspired men in suits dance their way on to the scene. Cheryl then launches into a dance routine on top of a classic car backed by several slickly dressed businessman and young greasers. This is all before she ends up back in the coffee shop, where Cheryl 'entertains' alongside a pack of military men with her curves. Looks like she really is up for anything under the sun.

After weeks of teasing and hype, Cheryl Cole has finally released the video for her new dance tune "Call My Name," the lead single to be released from the Girls Aloud star's upcoming third solo album, "A Million Lights," will be released on June 18 in the UK. The 28-year-old singer looks extremely attractive, adorned in on-trend fashions and that will no doubt perk up some interest.
Cheryl makes her return to music minus her surname and with a new album after a long absence. She worked with Lana del Rey on the record, and confesses to have 'fallen in love with' the US singer. The song "Call My Name" itself is extremely catchy, especially on repeated listens, largely thanks to producer Calvin Harris' Caribbean bombastic rhythms, which will go down a treat for summer playlists, and Cheryl's enthusiasm and energy in this are refreshing after all the drama last year.
The Anthony Mandler-directed promo was filmed in downtown Los Angeles, which opens with about 60 seconds of just a quiet beat with just Cheryl preening and posing before it finally kicks in. A muddy handprint is visible on her bottom while a quote from French philosopher Marquis de Sade's words: "The only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment" appear on screen. We then get wind chimes in a graffiti drenched tunnel where Cheryl finds herself after clearly forgetting where she parked the private yacht.
A distorted version of her single plays in the video as Cheryl dances her way down through Los Angeles' predominantly dry river bed and happy to show off her physique and certainly looks her best throughout as she writhes around wearing three different racy tiny ensembles, showing off her super svelte dancer's body in the energetic video. Cheryl is later seen walking and coincidentally meets up with a troupe of muscular male dancers hanging around with their cars. It's then she kicks off her dance routine and performing tight choreography with a handful of male dancers under the bridge.

British pop sensation Cheryl Cole premiered the video for her latest single "The Flood" on 4Music. Expectations for the song are high given the fact that her last single holds the highest opening week sales for a non-charity single in 2010. It will be impressive if she can repeat that success because "The Flood" as close to a power ballad as her voice can manage, is a radical departure from the upbeat dance-pop of "Promise This."
This ballad "The Flood" is the album's fourth track and second single from the X Factor judge's sophomore solo studio album, "Messy Little Raindrops," which got to the No.1 spot this month despite dividing critics. From running the club with "Promise Me," she slows it down in moody track "The Flood," which was described by X Factor magazine as an "enormo-ballad" and "a massive, strong-laden, Christmassy tear-jerker about wreckage, drowning and natural disaster love." The Wayne Wilkins-produced cut is a "trip-hop ballad, with strong hooks and synthesised strings." It received comparisons to Natalie Imbruglia.
Since she kicked off her solo career with "Fight For This Love," most of Cole's single releases have been fast-paced with action-packed videos. But after a tough year for the singer, it seems she has decided to show her more vulnerable side with a moody new video for her new single "The Flood." The lyrics suggest Cole's love has drowned in a shipwreck and she is forever haunted by what she could have done to save him. She is struggling to adjust her life without the man she loves in this Sophie Muller-directed music video.
The gloomy video is a very different change of pace for the singer, who is seen tossing and turning in bed as she struggles to adjust to life without her love. The Girls Aloud singer is lonely throughout the scenes, sleeping restlessly on the bed and singing in a remote beach house while overlooking the stormy ocean. The video was filmed against the dramatic backdrop of white cliffs on England's south coast, and the classic cinematography compliments the song's melancholic mood, complete with a montage of quick shots in the beginning and end of Cole in a dark beach house with violent waves crashing the shore and a dark room with Cole lighting a candle. Meanwhile, "The Flood" will be released on January 3, 2011.

Last Sunday, Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge, up for Best Single at the Brit Awards, Cheryl Cole is back with yet another sure-fire smash fantastic new video for her upcoming new single "Parachute" is now scheduled to be the third single as a solo artist, follows up the title track from her debut UK solo album "3 Words" which featured last night's big Grammy winner will.i.am on vocals. The grand premiere of the video took place on Channel 4 at 12:20pm, immediately following Hollyoaks. The Girls Aloud star debuted "Parachute" on her Night In show on ITV1 last December with a Latin dance routine performed with Derek Hough. (See picture)
If her first two videos didn't already solidify Cole as a full-fledged pop star in her own right, "Parachute" surely will. This is truly a piece of art, recalling the best moments of the past decade of Kylie Minogue's videography and the fierce poise and style of fellow girl grouper Victoria Beckham. As usual, British pop singer looks gorgeous, moody lighting, sharp choreography and absolutely stunning and performed a Latin dance with Derek Hough, a professional champion of Dancing with the Stars in the music video. Evocative lighting, melodramatic dance routine, pitch perfect 1930s screen queen styling, and shoulderpads that show she means business. And about time too!
The song "Parachute" that MuuMuse called "the album's most accessible track with marching drum beat and a twinkling mid-tempo piano melody," was written by Ingrid Michaelson and Marshall Altman, and was produced by Syience and Will.i.am. The physical CD will be out on March 15. Cole states that "Parachute" one of the more "left-of-field sounding" tracks from the "3 Words" album and that it was "unique". Some critics commented on "Parachute" was mainly positive. Tom Ewing of The Guardian said that the song was "an austere take on modern pop that gives Cole's voice the space it needs" and Louise McCudden of In The News said that, despite having "possibly the most lyrically mundane chorus [she had] ever heard", "Parachute" is a "well-calculated song" that gets stuck in the listener's head.

After being teased through three pictures, British pop singer Cheryl Cole's raunchy and stunning new video for "3 Words" has finally been brought forward, and premiered on her official website and GMT last Friday. Cole looks hotter and sexy than ever as she leaves her X-Factor judging panel behind to adopt a Lady Gaga-inspired style long blonde wig with black bra but looks sad.
The atmospheric love song "3 Words" is the title and as the second single off the 26-year-old X-Factor judge's chart-topping (for two consecutive weeks) debut solo album via Fascination Records. "[It's] my favorite track on the album," said Cole. "It's totally different to anything I've done or liked before, and one of the tracks on the album I am bursting for people to hear." The song features additional vocals from rapper Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, who wrote the song with Cole. It is the second single Cole and Will.I.Am have duetted on with Heartbreaker going to number four in 2008. The song got its worldwide radio premiere on October 13 on BBC Radio 1's The Chris Moyles Show.
Dark Rapunzel locks are her trademark and thanks to a lucrative L'Oreal deal, her bread and butter too. But Cole has swapped those famous tumbling brunette curls for a bold suicide blonde wig in the new Vincent Haycock-directed video, which features both stars in a pretty creepy scenario, and tells the story of a couple who socialise separately and are both approached by other members of the opposite sex in a nightclub, and features Cole and her collaborator rapper Will.I.Am in split screens which morph together and part continuously throughout the video. The L'Oreal shampoo model appears in a futuristic gold and leather outfit before shocking with lightning white hair, and makes the ghostly transformation and shakes her body around as she moves alongside a troop of half-naked backing dancers.
Although the song "3 Words" has already getting regular airplay and charted at #26 on downloads alone, the style icon Cole is trying her hand at solo singing and hoping her slow tempo track will be the first #1 in the charts of the new decade when it officially release as a single on December 21.

The Girls Aloud singer and 'The X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole has been mocked for miming and savaged for her singing, but Cole has left critics stunned by achieving a prestigious double #1 on both the Irish and UK music charts success with her debut solo studio album "3 Words" which released on October 23, while "Fight For This Love" spends a third week at the singles summit, as the fastest selling single of the year thus far.
The 26-year-old British pop star became the nation's sweetheart after she joined 'The X Factor' last year and took a contingent of wide-eyed young girls under her wing, leading Alexandra Burke all the way to victory in the show's final. Cole is the 12th female artist in UK chart history to record that double achievement, according to the Official UK Charts Company, and the third this year, following Lily Allen and Lady Gaga.
"Fight for This Love" is first solo single, was written and produced by Wayne Wilkins, Steve Kipner and co-written by Andre Merritt, was released as the lead single off her album "3 Words" on October 19. The song received its worldwide radio première on September 7 on BBC Radio, and Cole performed the song for the first time on The X Factor' on October 18. The song is a midtempo pop-R&B track with subdued, synthy production and an infectious hook that gnaws into the consciousness". Popjustice praised the song, describing it as "one of those songs you can have on repeat for an hour and a half without getting bored. Like some of the best pop tunes "Fight For This Love" is a very simple affair without bells, whistles or kitchen sinks, but there's more going on than is initially obvious and the production's certainly a cut above."
The music video was directed by Ray Kay and was filmed in early September, and premièred on September 20. The video stars Cole dancing in front of various moving backgrounds in a number of outfits, most notably a soldier-themed outfit with a red military jacket. There is also a dance sequence in which Cole, wearing leopard-print bottoms and a number of dancers perform a routine. The main colors of the video are red, white and black. Kay commented on the filming that: "The recordings went very well, and Cheryl was fantastic to work with. I drove her very hard at the shoot, and it was very difficult on her part. My job was relaxing in comparison. We made the video in London, with a lot of focus on fashion and dance, with very tough choreography, before putting it all together in Los Angeles afterwords. I have a strong feeling that this will be a #1 for Cheryl in England!"
