Today's Pick

Dreaming of palm trees tonight? You're not alone. Singer-songwriter-pop star extraordinaire Bonnie McKee is getting us in the sunny, sparkly Christmas spirit with her new cheerful holiday song "California Winter," and McKee's got a hot holiday tip for you as she belts across the chorus of the lovey-dovey wintry ode that is all about cozying up to your love - the only thing that can make you feel like a "California Winter," despite the snow and chilly weather.
"California Winter," is a future holiday classic with bright, catchy, and full of hooks. It's just like one of McKee's pop hits - only with a festive holiday twist. The talented "American Girl" pop penner, who looks like a gorgeous Christmas pin-up dream on the song's cover artwork, provides cheerful horns and wintry jingling bells on her cheery new tune. The super bubbly, upbeat track bops like a squeaky-clean '50s tune with McKee letting the world know that California still basks in the sun during winter. "It's always summer with you," she sings to her lover - the only thing that can make you feel like a "California Winter," despite the snow and chilly weather.
Reflecting the warm weather on the west coast, she wears various pin-up-inspired looks in the festive clip. McKee admitted that this was also a last minute project that came together with a lot of D.I.Y. work from the singer and her friends. Their labor of love is just as charming as the romantic, feel-good track itself. "This one-shot video was duct-taped, stapled, and glued together with chewing gum by my loving, wonderful, talented friends," says McKee of them making of this video.

The former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger has some advice for the next person to date a terrible guy or her ex: "Run." In her just-released stripped-back, atmospheric music video for the emotional heart-breaking ballad, the 36-year-old heartbroken singer gets emotional as she lies on the cold floors of an empty mansion with tears in her eyes and manages to deliver this one piece of advice in a most elegant setting, emoting all the way. It's a pretty, heart-wrenching picture. So powerful and intense!
Scherzinger is switching things up with the ballad after released two up-tempo songs, "Your Love" and "On The Rocks." The enormoballad "Run," is the newest US-only single from Ms. her sophomore solo album "Big Fat Lie," which the singer said was "about me revealing some of my personal struggles and facing them head on. Once you realize something is a lie you are on your way to the truth, where you will find your own clarity, peace and acceptance." The singer's inspiration behind "Run," is her long-term love Lewis Hamilton, as she singing about a terrifying episode of her on/off romance life with the Formula 1 ace where she was neglected as a woman.
"The song is basically encouraging people to run from whatever fears are holding them back," she revealed to E! News. "We all have our own stuff-people, relationships, ourselves, the stuff inside of our mind-that hold us back and make us feel small, make us feel less than, that we can't do it, that we're less then." She added: "It's running from that and running to something bigger and more positive." She was brought to tears while recording the raw ballad. "The song is deeply personal to me and it does show another side to me, a vulnerable side that people don't normally get to see, a more raw side, an authentic side," Scherzinger said.
The clip is simple, emotional and beautiful that reflects the stark and sheer power of her voice with an understated, yet captivating presentation. Set in an opulent mansion, starts with a melancholy Scherzinger lying on a crumpled sheet, writhes around on the floor as she sobs over her lost love and bad break-up. As the piano chords and strings resound, she bares her soul vocally and dead-set on making sure that no one else makes the same mistake that she did. "He's got this perfect way about him," she warns, "He'll make you think that you come first/ But, you'll get lost in the challenge of trying not to get hurt/ Here's advice for the next one: Run."

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding are at it again. Following the success of their previously collaborated on "I Need Your Love" from his 2012 album, "18 Months," the dynamic duo have collaborated once more for the new pop anthem, "Outside." Goulding flaunts her toned midriff area and her favorite brand of underwear as she's feeling the same pain and regret as Rita Ora and every other girl who has ever loved and lost Scottish DJ in their new video for "Outside," the latest single from Harris' fourth studio album, "Motion," released last month.
It's about decaying relationships. The EDM song acts as a darker sequel to their previous collaboration. Whilst "I Need Your Love" found Goulding singing about being enamored with her guy, this finds her breaking up with him as she wondering if breaking up with her ex was the best choice. "I'll show you what it feels like," sings the UK songstress in the hook, "now I'm on the outside," a mirror in front of her shatters and stops time as she temporarily reconnects and comes face to face with her ex.
So that's the plot the director used for the "Outside" video, takes this to the extreme. Opening to a trailer park, of all places, the colorful clip shows a casually clad Goulding on her knees and is lamenting the broken relationship on the ground in the middle of a street in broad daylight. Although it seems like an odd intro, there's more to the story than meets the eye. As it turns out, both musicians are stuck in troubled relationships that are rapidly imploding: there's fighting, screaming, hair-tearing, and crockery throwing, and both are itching for a way out.
The "Burn" singer has a new boyfriend who appears to be an alcoholic with a nasty temper, and Harris has moved on as well to someone with a similar penchant for arguing and throwing dishes. Both "exes" mediating whether splitting was an intelligent move. Hints of real-life troubles in paradise are sprinkled into the nearly four-minute video which works out fine with the original message of the song - two lovebirds thinking about the past. Outside seems like the safe place to be.

Pharrell Williams has reunited with electronic music masterminds Daft Punk and filmmaker Edgar Wright to create a fun music video for their collaboration "Gust of Wind," off Williams' latest album, "G I R L." Autumn is here, so take a stroll through the woods with Williams and his the French DJ duo pals Daft Punk as they entering some kind of enchanted forest full of fairy-like girls who dance around majestically.
The vibe on this new track is just what you'd expect from Williams and Daft Punk - electropop. It finds Williams in love with a lady who lifts him up mentally and emotionally like a force of nature. The song was inspired by Williams' wife, model and designer Helen Lasichanh. He explained to The Sun: "That song came to me in a dream. It's the only time it has ever happened to me in my life."
The 41-year-old entertainer continued: "I woke up and sang them to my girl and said: 'Babe, this is about you. It's about the divine force you have which could be compared to a gust of wind.' I told her: 'Like a gust of wind, you remind me there's someone out there who ushers in the air as I need to power in myself. And my wife was overjoyed when she first heard that song," he added. "She was also a little teary-eyed but then we have the Robots on there. It was like, 'Wow! Those guys are like, the next level."
Throughout the vibrant visuals, "The Voice" coach rocking huge colorful safety pin strolls walks through a fall-covered forest with groups of interstellar gymnasts performing choreographed maneuvers where he comes across two giant boulders in the shape of the Robots' helmets hover around him before final takeoff. The Baes dance alongside Williams and the autumn leaves before the boulders light up and ascend into the sky. This is simultaneously a very simple video and one stuffed with a bunch of effects and complicated choreography. Despite all that, Wright's direction really serves the song here. The song's a smooth jam, and so is the video.

The Dutch DJ/producer Tiësto just recently unveiled a visually stunning music video for his new single, "Light Years Away," featuring American minimal techno DJ DBX, off of Tiësto's newest studio album, "A Town Called Paradise," which was released in June. Not only is the song beautiful, but the futuristic video is absolutely mesmerizing which showcasing a distant galaxy being explored by a team in search of organic life.
It's been a big year for the Dutch superstar producer, who continues to find success in anyway possible. He's been able to consistently find ways to break his EDM influences in to pop-culture with seamless execution. "Light Years Away" continues the Dutchman's crusade of emotionally charged crossover dance music, with the whispery sounds of DBX's vocals to a pop-influenced EDM blended track. The accompanying video reflects the interstellar imagery of the track's title. Slick effects and colorful imagery serve as a fitting visual for the track's big hooks and addictive melody.
Set in a strange and unknown universe, the clip focuses on the life of a young lady living on a very distant lonely planet with the help of her robot assistant, as she examines her surroundings and searches for other forms of life. She is seen conducting research and using advanced technology to look for any signs of organic life on the bizarre planet she inhabits. She is clearly unhappy with where she lives, as is made evident from both scenes and lyrics "I don't know where I'm meant to belong/ I'm lost in space."
A robot loyally helps her with her research and takes care of her when she gets injured. At the end, she comes to realize the love the robot has for her and together they melt into a strange electronic screen where they dance and the woman finally finds happiness. The beat and tune both work well with the futuristic-like video and the story is interesting enough. It ends on a particularly compelling note with space and electronics combining.

The Veronicas return with a vengeance and a twisted ballet music video for their gritty new song, "You Ruin Me," the first new release in seven years and the lead track lifted from Aussie pop sibling duo's upcoming self-titled third studio album, due later this year through Sony Music after splitting with their longtime label Warner Bros.
It's been a decade since the twins cracked the music industry and have been absent from Australian airwaves for five years, but now the sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso - the 29-year-old Brisbane born-and-raised twins who go by the name The Veronicas are back, and kicked off their long-awaited comeback with tortured ballad "You Ruin Me." It's a semi-orchestral, hate-drenched intense breakup ballad which comes from an altogether different place than the Origliasso twins' 2007 catchy electo-pop hit "Untouched," but it's a great reminder of both their songwriting and vocal prowess.
Written with APRA Award winning production team DNA Songs, "You Ruin Me" is a musical statement of The Veronicas' maturity. The song concentrates on the Australian sisters' vocal talents, it's built on keys and fleshed-out with a lush orchestral production, and there's not a single beat to be found. Talking about the inspiration behind the song, Jess revealed to the Courier Mail: "We are in such a great place now as far as being artists and being comfortable as women, and this song was the last piece of the puzzle to say goodbye to the broken parts of ourselves."
The dramatic video, inspired by Darren Aronofsky's dark 2010 feature film "Black Swan." In true rock star form, the raven haired duo sit in a fierce black car with their hit song playing on the radio while wearing identical white framed sunglasses and a slick of rouge, as they pull up outside the State Theatre at Sydney, with a neon lit sign saying "Tonight The Veronicas - Private Show." The twins perform the song on stage while a twisted back story about a jealous ballerinas and a particularly creepy and unscupulous dance instructor unfolds. It's weird, twisted and strangely beautiful. Kind of like the song. Watch the twisted ballet drama below.

The weekend just got a lot hotter! After being teased with some pictures and previews, the music video for Nicole Scherzinger's new mid-tempo ballad single "On the Rocks" landed online in full on Thursday. The clip offers simplicity in the classic black-and-white fashion where the former Pussycat Dolls singer has a sit down with her love interest so they can duke out the pain together. And, unsurprisingly the 36-year-old looks hot, even though she's crying through a lot of the video. Sad times...
Follow-up to 2011's "Killer Love" has also been preceded by her mediocre hit "Your Love." "On the Rocks," serves as the second single off her upcoming sophomore album, still untitled, due out sometime next year on Epic Records. Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, "On the Rocks," is actually inspired by one of Scherzinger's past relationships. "This song is really personal to me. I love it. It's a break up song," she told BBC Radio 1 recently. "I want the girls and all the people out there who's ever had a hard time in a relationship to put this song on repeat and feel really empowered."
The video fits and compliments the song well with an emotional Scherzinger, clad in sexy lingerie, tearing in a bed. The emotional roller coaster visual then transitions to verbal arguments, then vandalism, to the songstress making her exit. "It's my favorite video I've ever done. It's black and white, it's very cinematic," Scherzinger explained. "I just wanted the video to not feel like a music video, just really authentic and really raw. It's very empowering. It's a very emotional and personal song for me."
Directed by Tim Mattia, the breathtaking black-and-white clip sees Scherzinger emotionally distraught while singing her heartbreaking song. Overcome with emotion, she gets super dramatic and confronts her boyfriend  (soon to be ex) as she fights him and screams at him for f*cking their relationship up big time. Scherzinger's had it. She's had it so much that she's going to actually push her soon-to-be-ex off the chair (with magical powers) and throw him out of the house they have in the middle of the desert breaking the fragile wooden door in the process before tearing up the house. Once she's done with him, a liberated Scherzinger runs away through the desert to find a new better life.

This March, after a few years penning songs for artists like Icona Pop, Cher Lloyd and Girls Aloud, Swedish rising star Tove Lo unleashed her debut EP "Truth Serum," a six-song collection featuring the rising, gold-certified "Habits (Stay High)." Thanks to that success, her debut full-length, "Queen of the Clouds," will be released September 30th in the U.S. on Island Records. Now, the 26-year-old pop singer is back with another stunner, one that flips the substance abuse script of "Habits," the album's second single, "Not on Drugs."

Lo insists, she's back on her feet and reaching for the stars—she's not on drugs, she's just in love, and she has the post-Icona Pop beat drop to prove it. "I'm up with the kites in a dream so blue," she sings. "I live in the sky/ You come live here, too." There's a crushing weight to the song's chorus that roughly approximates the overwhelming, brain-altering infatuation Lo's singing about: if love hit you with this much force, you'd probably seem high too. It's probably better for your health to keep this one on replay, and after hearing it once you won't complain. "Not On Drugs" is so good, it's addictive. It's an epic pop song, no matter how you ingest it.
With "Not on Drugs," she's basking in love's mind-melting glow rather than using to escape its aftermath. "'Not On Drugs' is - like many of my songs so far - about love," Stockholm's Lo told MTV UK. "At least it's about the happy kind of love where you feel like there's nothing that can get you higher than the person you're with and have these feelings for. I guess the best way to listen to it is when you're in that state of mind; I think if you're heartbroken it might be a bit hard to relate to it. So if you've just met someone you love you should listen to it then... On repeat!"
The Kaleidoscopic backgrounds, warped images and fluorescent smoke make the video feel anything but trippy. It finds the Scandi babe dancing in a white room that is filled with both computerized animation and colorful, real-life smoke bombs. "I choked on the paint, the smoke made me half blind and here is my three-minute trip that shows the intensity and weirdness I feel when falling in love," Lo told Rolling Stone, via e-mail. "The main theme we had in mind while making this video was 'What just happened?' It was quite amazing making something with the happy piece of my heart this time! There's always the happy part before the broken heart. Here's mine, about the good kind. Come join me in my little love trip."

David Guetta decided on a wild west theme for his new "Lovers On The Sun" music video. The track is the fourth single and the the title track taken from Guetta's newest four-track EP, along with "Shot Me Down," "Bad," and "Blast Off." French electro music producer and DJ teased the follow-up to 2011 breakthrough LP "Nothing But The Beat" with a trio of unusually hard electro-house buzz singles before retreating to more familiar ground on the Avicii-assisted, Sam Martin-voiced "Lovers On The Sun."

The blockbuster collaboration is one of those euphoric, vocal anthems you're probably expecting with a release like this. This summer jam is catchy and upbeat and features American singer-songwriter Sam Martin on vocals and was co-produced by Avicii and plugs into a similar country/folk/EDM hybrid as the Swedish DJ's own "Wake Me Up." This features guitar work by Mike Einziger of the rock band Incubus. The multi-instrumentalist also co-wrote the track.
The song is heavy on guitar and whistling, reminiscent of numerous westerns. The feel of the song (except for the parts when Martin cuts out) are a bit like the music from Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The song now gets a suitably epic visual starring Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta who portrays a villain who intent on torturing our hero when he is saved by a poncho-wearing babe with magical powers. It's refreshing to see a comparatively big budget video in the DIY era and the French DJ makes every cent count with a special effects-filled extravaganza.
The Marc Klasfeld-directed clip is western-themed, as the sound of the song dictates, follows Liotta and his villain friends on a chase through the desert looking for a cowboy and a girl with super powers after escaping from being tortured. After a long night of love-making and hiding, the two are found the next morning by Liotta and instead of killing them in cold blood, he decides to do challenge them to a duel. Oblivious to her magical powers, Liotta thinks this is a good idea until he goes to draw and she uses the power of the sun to melt his and his partners in crimes weapons and scare them away. It's a clever twist on your typical spaghetti western-Themed with a better than average soundtrack.

Have you seen Gravity? Barbarella? Or Star Trek? Or the newer trilogy of Star Wars movies? Mash those all together in your mind, add Ariana Grande and Zedd, and remove sense. Congratulations, you mentally created the same "Break Free" video Grande and her team made in real life. The the out-of-this-world clip is one hilarious mess, as Grande flaunts her enviable figure (and even channels her inner Katy Perry and Lady Gaga), and fighting off aliens, floating around in a spaceship while rocking a scandalous outfit and showing off her best dance moves.
The joy-infused song, the second single from her upcoming sophomore album "My Everything," finds Grande celebrating her independence from a past love. The intergalactic video start with the same Star Wars-esque scroll we saw in the "Break Free" lyric video. The scroll promises us it will be "two steps ahead of modern day sexiness," and it's definitely two steps ahead of something. Our heroine appears in a really terribly green-screened wide shot! As far as we can tell, the 21-year-old pop star is a heroine come to save the alien captives on a distant planet.
She shoots down the two guards with ease. The caged alien right next to her during her ambush fails to react at all to the tiny girl with the big ponytail and white boots shooting two reptilian aliens. This planet's people are apparently not very expressive. But Grande's battles are not over yet! After freeing the prisoners, she fights off the other guards by ducking at a convenient time and by shooting missiles out of her breasts.
Then we see Grande writhe around in her space shuttle and apply space lipstick on her way to da club! Zedd pretty much sticks to bouncing around adorably at his table. And, of course, it makes time to introduce us to the inexplicable alien elephant chilling on the ship. But even their combined adorableness still can't explain why the damn elephant exists. So the camera finally makes time to watch Grande dance. Our heroine and her scruffy sidekick then pilot the ship right on through the galaxies, onto what will hopefully be a much better "Bang Bang" video.

We just can't get enough of Katy Perry! The superstar singer is heating up the summer and enters a hyper-stylized, pastel-soaked pleasure dome in the colorful wild new clip for her upbeat YOLO anthem, "This Is How We Do," which is the newest single from her "Prism" album. The new clip is a modern art masterpiece and is nothing short of colorful, fun and filled with a slew of questionable advice featuring over-the-top visuals and outrageous outfits. There are, however, plenty of vivid colors and retro styling that references the early days of pop art, vintage fashion, and twerking ice cream cones.
This 1990s New Jack Swing influenced dance track is a girls night out anthem that pays tribute to those ladies who party all night. Perry called it "the sequel to 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).'" The lyrics also reference La Super Rica, Perry's favorite taqueria in her Santa Barbara hometown. Perry explained in a tweet that the inspiration for this song was: "My OG crew, our parties & my hometown Santa Barbara." If you can get over the fact that "This Is How We Do" features groan-worthy lyrics like "Now we're talking astrology/ getting our nails did all Japanese-y," you'll realize it's actually kind of a jam.
Unlike women's empowerment, in-depth love and infatuation she crooned about on her other tracks, the current Joel Kefali-directed video is all about having fun no matter what. "This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back/ Straight stuntin' yea we do it like that," the 29-year-old singer gives a slew of questionable advice. The singer wisely steers the costumes clear of any ethnic groups this time, instead opting for pop culture references with the Pee-Wee Herman-inspired backup dancers, Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Mondrian dress, a pepperoni pizza swimsuit, green hair extensions and rocking cornrows.
Perry flaunts tons of colorful looks and boasts about living a carefree lifestyle without consequences in her wacky pop art video, which gives off a clear 80's vibe, complete with side ponytails, colorful outfits, and outlandish jewelry. "This one goes out to the ladies at breakfast in last night's dress," she said after singing about driving in a Maserati. Perry acts out the lyrics to her video pretty literally, as she cooks pancakes for her boys, plays ping-pong all night long, and even performs some Mariah Carey-oke, complete with a cameo by the elusive chanteuse herself. Sound weird? That's a massive understatement. Check out the bizarre little offering below.

Paris Hilton is really out of this world in her brand new music video for latest single, "Come Alive," the second single off her upcoming sophomore studio album. The 33-year-old entertainer has tried many different jobs in her multihyphenate career as a socialite-actress-model-singer-jewelry-designer, but it's hard to write off her music career as passing fling. It doesn't matter, though. Like it or not, she is still making music, and her new colorful video for “Come Alive” graced the Internet with its presence today.
"Come Alive" lives up to its title, as it offers a more mature aesthetic than previous Hilton offerings and in all seriousness, she's also showing growth as a vocalist this time around. "Come Alive" is carefree, fun, and a signature Hilton tune as she sings, "I just want to live in the moment!" There could not be a better cliché to strive for this summer. "Come Alive" is a love song and the insanely amazing clip matches the track's dreamy feel, making it anything but ordinary. The pink explosion aesthetic of the video could easily be confused for a razor commercial, but her clip, which of course features a flower blooming right around the climax of the song.
"It's all about love and how it makes you feel alive. So when I was coming up with the concept for the music video, I wanted it to be something that was very magical, ethereal, just very fantasy like, that's why I wanted to have a unicorn in it because I just think they're such beautiful, magical creatures," Hilton shared to E! about the Hannah Lux Davis directed video. Well, she definitely succeeded.
Filmed in Los Angeles, Hilton's "Come Alive" video is an absurd fairytale rave. Everything is the color of cotton candy as Hilton created an insane world filled with glitter, flower crowns and studded bikini tops. The heiress-reality star dons giant angel wings, a glimmering gown, and even dazzles the night in a blue bodysuit, while singing along while swinging on a romantic pink-flowered swing, lounging on pink clouds, and even next to a unicorn. This is either the type of stuff that made up our childhood dreams or Hilton's latest music video. If you guessed the latter, congrats; here's a rainbow lollipop. Call it Coachella on crack or Lisa Frank's private rave. Either way, this is not a drill.

The Saturdays continues preparing to launch of its upcoming retrospective compilation album officially called "Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits," including all of the band's single plus three extra songs and scheduled to be released on August 11 via Polydor Records. Now, British-Irish girl band strip down to their swimwear as they party up a storm on Greek island in a sunny new music video for their one of three new tracks on new album, "What Are You Waiting For?" and it's seriously going to make us wish we were on a girlie holiday.
Written and Produced by Xenomania, the song, served as the lead single off of the UK fivesome's upcoming greatest hits compilation was premiered on BBC Radio 1 on June 26th. It is a banging, blazing club cut perfect for summertime revelry. And so, what better than to have a video full of beach-y fun and poolside glamour? Filming took place on the Holiday Village resort in the gorgeously sunny Rhodes, Greece in late May, and all five girls jumping up and stripped down in sexy skimpy swimsuits as they soaking up the rays and partying whilst holidaying at on the sun soaked Greek island.
The clip kicked off with the five-piece taking to the winding roads in a jeep, while the picturesque beach also provides a fitting backdrop, and there are a lot of sunshine, smiling and bikini action going on, while showing off svelte and toned bodies that prove The Saturdays are every inch the perfect pop stars. The girls sit by an outdoor pool at the Holiday Village resort in Rhodes before casually hanging out on a yacht and in a jacuzzi.
Una Foden hair flipping and wears a black patterned number that accentuates her toned body; Rochelle Humes rocking giant hoop earrings in a red swimsuit; Frankie Sandford looking seriously fit in a monochrome swimsuit as she performs vocal duties while relaxing in the water with a fruity cocktail, and sultry bandmate Vanessa White is equally eye-catching in a snakeskin print bikini, while Mollie King shows off her slender frame in a vibrant red two-piece. In keeping with the catchy track's upbeat mood, the video also finds the band getting into the holiday spirit with a group of pals as the good times move from pool to boat where they dance on the top deck during a cruise around the stunning Greek island.

G.R.L., the rising American-British-Canadian five-piece girl group has gotten some shine by collaborating with Pitbull on their hit "Wild Wild Love," but now, the quintet has a deeply enjoyable single of its own to flaunt. The girls just released their very first music video for the stomping single, "Ugly Heart," a radio-friendly, ukulele-tinged and Dr. Luke-produced track. Pretty boys (and possibly gals), if you have an ugly heart, you might want to stay away from G.R.L.! Or probably stay away from the girl group and tattoo parlors because it could get UGLY! At least, that's how it initially seems in their brand new video.
The girls are back with a fresh ukelele country-folk style. Smooth production with an ambitious summer feeling. After committing a crime, the give G.R.L. girls are arrested and taken into custody. At the police station, the girl band will perform a choreography on top of the policeman's desks and will do the same at the mug shot / identification parade room. The girls will wrap up the music video in the corniest way possible. Ah! That ending was so corny. Still, pretty much flawless music video.
The accompanying and long awaited clip was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero (Black Keys, Britney Spears, Ke$ha) and was filmed in downtown Los Angeles, capturing the girls - Lauren Bennett, Paula Van Oppen, Natasha Slayton, Simone Battle, and Emmalyn Estrada - in full force girl power mode, bonding together and seeking revenge against a "pretty man" with an "Ugly Heart," who has clearly done them wrong. It's a really fun visual and the ladies look absolutely amazing. It's definitely not too shabby of a music video! Their HAWT dance moves and stellar vocals definitely make us wanna get up and dance!
As we see the girls get carted out of a tattoo parlor by the po-po, booked at the police station and thrown right into the slammer - all while delivering heaps of hair flips, mean muggin' and ample shimmying, of course. These girls have gone wild! But by the end of the video, as the ladies strut their stuff into the line-up room and deliver a mini-dance breakdown, we discover their true crime: Defacing a hot dude with a bunch of "Ugly" tattoos all over his face. "Now your face is like your heart," Simone sasses in the clip's final few seconds. Check out the epic dance-happy music video below.

Demi Lovato take over Los Angeles' Gay Pride Parade, celebrating with the crowd and sending a clear message to all the haters with her powerful pop-anthem, "Really Don't Care," and brought it to life by sing with the crowd, party with her friends and brush off all those haters. The LGBTQ-friendly clip features a number of celebrity cameos, including the singer's boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, Perez Hilton, Kat Graham, Shane Bitney Cone and British pop singer Cher Lloyd, who lends her vocals and spitting out her sassy verse to the track.
The uptempo dance-pop breakup song, the fourth single off her self titled fourth album "Demi," finds Lovato sending a message of defiance with her "angsty" and "overpowering pipes" vocals to a former lover that their split is for good and she won't change her mind. "For me it was just about a breakup a while ago," Lovato explained. "And now it's just an overall of thinking and not giving a s--t about what people say or what people think about you and your beliefs." The pair met when Lloyd, who was a finalist on the UK's 2010 X Factor performed on the American version of the show, where Lovato is a judge.
"When I originally wrote it, it was a breakup song," the pop performer told E! News. "But now I have sung it so many times that it kind of no longer has a significance in that sort of way. When I sing it, I always want to inspire and empower." After thinking more about the song she wanted it to have "a deeper message" since she stands for much more than that. "I thought what other people could relate to really not caring what people think. I thought of bullies and the LGBT community who are constantly scrutinized. What better place is there than L.A. Pride to celebrate who you are and not really caring what people think?"
Shot at L.A.'s gay pride festival, where Lovato served as the Grand Marshall and performed, the video opens with Lovato telling the crowd that a protester at the parade "has a burn in hell poster' and that "you don't have to hate because my Jesus loves all." The pop star, dressed in leather with rainbow hair, then opens with her song as she marches down the parade on a float as LGBT supporters surround her dancing, celebrating and proudly belting out the lyrics. "And it felt amazing to sing with other people in their faces and sing "I really don't care," Lovato told MTV News.

Pixie Lott showcases her trim physique in retro swimsuit as she frolics around Cannes in new music video for her new single, "Lay Me Down," the second official single and the follow up to Top 10 UK hit "Nasty" from her upcoming third self-titled studio album, scheduled to be released on digital retailers on August 4 via Mercury Records. She was spotted among the many stars in Cannes during the film festival last month. And now Lott has revealed exactly what she got up to in the South of France as she unveiled the official music video for her new single, "Lay Me Down."
The pop starlet drops the upbeat bluesy-pop single with sass and soul, while delivering one hard to forget hook.She wrote in a message to her fans: "I absolutely loved shooting this with a fabulous team. I shot it with the same company who did my video for 'Heart Cry,' because they captured the perfect vibe before. It was my first time in the south of France and I was in awe, so beautiful. I think the track is a perfect second single because it still has an upbeat vibe you can dance to, but with a meaningful lyric in a soulful way. I love performing this live with the band because we can really get into it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!"
The release of "Nasty" back in March signaled a new era in Lott's career and it harked back to her roots, and number one inspiration - Motown. Even the fact that her upcoming album will simply be called "Pixie Lott" indicates that Lott is ready to lay herself bare in her most personal work yet, that reflects who she is now as a musician. But before the full extent of her renaissance becomes clear with the album's release in August, there's "Lay Me Down," to contend with first. Shot in Cannes, the video stars a Bardot-esque Lott opted for retro glamour and echoes her 60s influences in both fashion and music.
Echoes her 60s influences in both fashion and music, the Ben Falk-directed cinematic visual shot in Cannes, sees the 23-year-old British pop princess oozed old Hollywood glamour while having a glorious day and soaking up the sun on a Mediterranean getaway as she wears big hats, bright red lipstick, a series of retro sexy outfits including a red and white high-waisted bikini and lays down by her hotel, the pool, and even a fabulous yacht against the stunning backdrop of Cannes. Lott seemed to be channeling Bridget Bardot's effortless class in one shot which saw the singer sitting atop a sun lounger with a large black hat on.

Hollywood Records knows a thing or two about launching a pop career. The label has already made magic happen for many Disney Channel stars, such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez (among others) and is now hoping to repeat the feat with "Shake It Up" actress Bella Thorne. The 16-year-old actress is pretty, pink, and poofy all over and takes it back to the '50s in her fun new candy-colored music video for her debut Single, "Call It Whatever," the lead single and title track for her upcoming debut studio album, due out June 24.
Produced by Paro and was written by Par Westerland, Rickard Goransson and Skyler Stonestreet the classic autotune-assisted bubblegum pop anthem is an upbeat, undeniably catchy and flirty pop tune with a playful nature. It  is about a girl telling her boyfriend that they should call their relationship whatever, because no other words can describe it. In the lyrics, Thorne sings, "Our love needs no name/ We got a thing we can't explain/ Don't care what people say, let's call it whatever/ Whatever."
Previously named the artist formerly known as Ke$ha as a major influence, so that's also very encouraging as Thorne has the ultimate girl time and shows off her amazing dance moves with her friends in the Mickey Finnegan-directed video clip! The stylish star plays dress up in a few different outfits - a princess gown with a huge bow, a sequin shirt, a metallic gold skirt, and hot pink lipstick as a flirtatious waitress and dances her way through a '50s-era old-fashioned diner, as she sips on a milkshake, serves up food and, of course, sings her upbeat new hit!
But don't mistake the teen queen for an apron-wearing frump. Her cherry pie is the hottest dish in town! The video also proves that she's ultra-confident and flirts with cute crush. When the Blonde cutie boy Garrison Lambert walks in the diner, she doesn't shy away, but instead grabs his hand and pulls him up to dance like she just don't care. She's got the whole restaurant up and moving. The set-up is cute and allows Thorne to show her bubbly personality with counter-top dancing and goofy facial expressions. We love that she's showing off her sexy, but sweet new style!

Lea Michele is letting loose and showing off her adventurous side in the new music video for her latest pop offering "On My Way," the second cut off "Glee" star's debut album, "Louder." The lyrics to the upbeat, pure pop track about battling with your head and your heart over a guy you shouldn't fall for say it all. Sometimes you just have to tune out those voices inside, follow your heart, and throw a rager in the desert. The 27-year-old singer and actress is set to have a huge week with the release of the video as well as the launch of her brand new book "Brunette Ambition," which hits stores today!
Michele is finding herself in a little bit of a predicament on "On My Way," as she starts off this upbeat track with a pouty vocal slowly building its beat, with her powerful vocals packing a punch as she shows off a more vulnerable side that quickly gives way to another club-oriented track that's about returning to someone who's not right for you. Sobriety and intoxication comparisons to love run rampant throughout, as she belts out about how her "heart's too drunk to drive" and she exists in a "blackout state of mind," but she's still on her way to that special someone.
The "Glee" star is in a battle between her head and her heart, as she falls for a guy she knows is bad news. "I should stay away from you tonight/ But in this blacked out state of mind/ Baby, all I want is you tonight," Michele sings. "When my head tells me 'no'/ My heart tells me 'go'/ So I'm hitting the road tonight/ I know my heart's too drunk to drive/ But I'm on my way to you." And while "On My Way" boasts a powerful bass-heavy beat that's a bit of departure from the recent tracks we've heard from her, the lyrics are just as emotionally-charged as what we've come to expect. This time around, she touches on a battle between her head and her heart (hey, who hasn't been there!)
However, in her new video, compliments the lyrics to the song, Michele was clearly listening to her heart. The lyrics of "On My Way" are all about taking chances, and that's exactly what Michele is doing as she's embracing the opportunity to live in the moment, looks to be having the best time as she gets very flirtatious with her boyfriend as they share some super-steamy scenes in her hotel room, before hitting the dusty road enjoying a hot Spring day with a group of friends, giving us flashbacks of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." The love story comes out loud and clear, but it's definitely more sexual appeal than we've ever seen before.

Ricky Martin is breathing life into the 2014 World Cup with the music video for his energetic and upbeat single "Vida," the second track off the Official FIFA World Cup album, "One Love, One Rhythm," due out in May. The FIFA World Cup has been a happy hunting ground for 42-year-old Martin. His 1998 theme song "The Cup Of Life" introduced him to new fans around the globe and a subsequent performance of the song at the Grammys is credited with breaking him in America. The energy, fun, sensuality and culture of the Brazilian people, through music and soccer, are highlights of the "Vida" video.
Produced by Salaam Remi, and written by the winner of the SuperSong global competition, Elijah King, who worked closely with Martin to record the final version of the track. The song's lyrics pay tribute to the international soccer tournament's ability to bring people from "every nation" together to celebrate and enjoy "la vida buena" (the good life). The bilingual rhythmic new anthem is a percussion-heavy, celebration of the important things in life (romance, having fun, partying etc). It's only fitting that then that the feel-good song get an equally uplifting video.
"I had a lot of fun flying to and shooting in Brazil," the Latin heartthrob said. "It's an incredible feeling to have had the opportunity to participate in a global initiative like SuperSong. I'm very excited to finally be able to sing "Vida" and share this special song with the world." Looking quite relaxed in shorts and a tank top, Martin sings along the beaches of the Brazilian city with approximately 100 extras - kids, dancers, models, samba dancers and more that were carefully chosen to represent the diversity of the Brazilian people, dancing on the beach.
Filmed on the sun-drenched beaches of Rio, the Kátia Lund-directed Summery clip finds the Puerto Rican superstar and a crowd of beautiful people strutting along to the track's propulsive rhythms. "The lyrics and the emotion that are reflected in the video for "Vida" inspire a celebration of life, in a way that is pure and simple: the sun, coming together and the energy," Lund said. "It's about a life where differences are celebrated and appreciated easily and with happiness. That's why Ricky wanted a singular video, one totally different from what he has done in the past: without choreography, big sets or directed scenes. He just wanted it to be natural."

Calvin Harris has been teasing fans all week on Twitter with the promise of new material, and Scottish DJ and producer has finally unveiled the stunning visuals for his brand new single "Summer," the lead single from Harris' upcoming fourth studio album and the follow up to the record-breaking successful "18 Months." Set in a desert where Harris embarks on a gripping dramatic drag race with "Fast & Furious" star Jason Statham in the glamorous clip, which also sees a bevy of model beauties strutting around in skimpy clothing.
The party-ready dance-pop song finds Harris perform vocal duties as he singing about the euphoria of a summertime romance. The exuberant club-stomper marked the Scottish DJ's first time on the microphone since "18 Months"' second single, "Feel So Close." The song was played for the first time on UK's Capital Radio on March 14. peaking to Capital about his new music at the BRIT Awards last month, Harris said he was planning on releasing a series of singles first and had to convince a big name star about a possible collaboration.
The video starts with an ariel view of a long stretch of road, before showing the 30-year-old Scottish hitmaker hits the dessert in a relaxed pair of jeans and a white T-shirt singing "Summer" while walking on the desert road. Sporting designer stubble and side-parting, he looks every inch the understated urban pop star. Meanwhile, a lingerie-clad model watches him from a balcony before seductively reclining on a bed in what is one of Harris' more sensual videos.
Shortly after, Statham can be seen driving intensely down the road in a direct competition with Harris. With a determined look on his face, the character is reminiscent of his many other film roles, which sees him play a rough-around-the-edges bad guy. Fortunately, the battle doesn't last long, as the drag race is soon replaced by a late-night epic pool party, which sees bottles of champagne explode and a delighted Harris celebrate amongst plenty of bottle-popping and party-goers. Visually energetic, the clip is a perfect match for the new single which is eagerly anticipated.
