Today's Pick

Zara Maria Larsson better known as Zara Larsson is a Swedish singer-songwriter and potential international star who rose to fame by winning the 2008 season of the talent show Talang, the Swedish version of "Got Talent." She is currently signed to TEN Music Group (For Sweden) and internationally to Epic Records. The 17-year-old Swedish beauty is ready to blow up worldwide and have released a new music video for her brand new Rihanna-esque track, "Weak Heart," the fourth single of her utterly fantastic debut album, simply entitled "1."
Larsson's Rihanna-lite phrasings are distracting on the verses, and her thrilling chorus isn't just effective at fusing slo-mo bass drum hits with twinkling keys - the classic beauty & the beast ballad - it's rhetorically clever. Larsson sings about a having a weak heart, but the song thumps along  with an incredibly strong pulse. It's a relatively uncommon trick, given how satisfying it is, but it places "Weak Heart" in the esteemed company of "This Old Heart of Mine," which similarly thrills at the heart's inefficiency in matters of love.
written by Robert Habolin, Patrizia Helander and Marcus 'Mack' Sepehrmanesh, "Weak Heart" is a mega ballad with a soaring melody that gets bellowed out over the top of some properly dramatic beats. And the lyrics are somewhat genius in that they're perfect for a girl of Larsson's age, yet at the same time quite grown up and so therefore really clever. An epic chorus and a popstar on horseback. You cannot ask for more. In the David Soutar-directed video you’ll see Larsson in a treehouse, riding a horse and more. Watch it below.

Jessie J takes us on a journey of how awesomely awesome her life is in the video for her girl power anthem "Masterpiece," the third single off her latest third album "Sweet Talker," which debuted at No.10 in the U.S., has spawned the Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande-assisted Grammy-nominated hit "Bang Bang," and "Burnin' Up" featuring 2 Chainz.
The melodic ballad that is tamer than its single predecessors but still packs the same punch, is about self-empowerment and living up to one's potential. "I still fall on my face sometimes, and I can't color inside the lines/ 'Cause, I'm perfectly incomplete/ I'm still working on my masterpiece," the British pop star sings. The song's thematic similarity to her debut album, "Who You Are," in that it is addressed to her haters.
Shot in Los Angeles, the Tabitha Denholm-directed music video see a makeup-free Jessie J doing everyday things as she wakes up in her L.A. hotel room and shares grainy Instagram-like footage from her regular day. She then jumps in her BMW vehicle and heads to the set for lengthy photoshoots, handles interviews with the press, and later is partying out in the streets and performing the uplifting track along with a huge crowd of her adoring fans, who know all the words to her new song. Sure, Jessie J's perfectly incomplete, but she's still working on her masterpiece. The best is yet to come!

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."

K. Michelle is everywhere and killing it. After debuting her new VH1 reality show "K. Michelle: My Life," she's back, breaking hearts and flirts with some black mannequins in the new music video for her new heartbreaker anthem, "Love 'Em All." The R&B-dance slut anthem is the lead single from Michelle's upcoming sophomore album, "Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?," due in stores on December 9th via Atlantic.
"'Cause they think I love 'em/ But I love 'em all/ I need another one to get over the other one," sings Michelle in the infectious chorus of her newest single and further confirming her 'sluttery.' She's a slut and proud of being one. The Memphis songstress dons her fire red hair as she belts out her latest song about playing the field, making all the boys feel special and when she's done, discarding them. While she admits to breaking a few hearts, she also reminds you as a single woman, she can do what she pleases.
This sexy and sultry new video doesn't see the "Love & Hip Hop" alum at her fiercest state and acting like a slut with men, though. Taking a page from Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" and J. Lo's "Booty," Michelle highlights her voluptuous asset, of course, her glorious rear and shows off her sexiness and curves. With a driving beat that'll get you moving, the red-haired R&B chanteuse lets the booty meat hang all kinds of out and shows us her moves as she does choreography with a chair and flirt with male mannequins, show some booty and tits in a sluttylicious outfit and sit on her throne because she is the queen (of sluts). Watch Michelle in her fiercest video yet below.

Ne-Yo loves the strip clubs but he can't seem to shake them when he's out doing errands, and he can’t escape the strip club either in the raunchy video for his latest banger "She Knows." The racy and humorous clip starring alongside the R&B singer and rapper Juicy J, as well as some talented pole dancers. The Juicy J-assisted urban track, "She Knows," is the latest single lifted from Ne-Yo's upcoming sixth album “Non Fiction,” which he's dubbing the "Rebirth of Storytelling," Ne-Yo is telling tales that stem from his own life and the lives of his fans.
But with "She Knows," a horn-infused club banger produced by Dr. Luke, Ne-Yo wanted to get you dancing. Or, really, get strippers dancing. "I wanted to make something for the strip club that isn't just for the strip club," he says. "It’s a record that could move. It's for the house party, for the strip club. It's something to get you going in the morning or before you head out for the night." "She Knows" is about a woman who has the confident and "swagger" to own the world (and she also knows how to “drop it down” with her sick body). Sonically, "She Knows" marries a "Problem"-style horn riff with a minimal trap beat, and comes out sounding very trendy indeed.

At first glance, the Emil Nava-directed risqué video featuring Juicy J may not seem like a ballad meant to empower women with a number of pole dancers performing in a series of rather inappropriate places, including a convenience store, a library, a sidewalk and an office. However, the 31-year-old R&B singer tips his hat to the skin-flaunting woman who is aware of her sex appeal and simply oozes confidence. In fact, the video features four women Ne-Yo hand selected, who own pole dancing studios, compete nationally or have competed in shows across the nation to be part of the video.
The clip shows Ne-Yo and his entourage having the time of their lives and slapping booties at a club. Each of the women have a story about who they are and why they decided to get into the sport of pole dancing. One of the dancers has a circus background, another is a stunt double and a third teaches classes at her own Los Angeles studio. Ne-Yo believes their individual stories give the song a whole new meaning and purpose. A woman "knows" she knows what she's doing when she walks into a room. "She's smart, sexy, and she owns it. It's about confidence." Watch Ne-Yo's strip club fantasy come to life.

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.

Jessie J sets the screen ablaze as she brings the heat and shows off her raunchier side sharing a steamy kiss in a gold bikini for her latest 2 Chainz collabo jam, "Burnin' Up" new video. Her sex appeal is turned all the way up for the visual, which is perfect for the sultry tune. It shows the singer frolicking at a pool party as she's surrounded by hot male eye candy, and she also throws in some fiery dance moves.
Written by Jessie and produced by legendary Swedish producer Max Martin, "Burnin' Up" follows the 26-year-old's recent success of "Bang Bang," with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and has that same R&B-pop-hip/hop feel. It's all about those diva-sized pipes, as Jessie struts through the fire and loses her mind due to the heat of her lover. While her vocals flirt with ostentatiousness, Chainz is all chill, smoothly rhyming 'corridor' with 'Oreo,' as he adds some fuel to the fire with his scorching rap verse, stir.
This tribal-influenced dance anthem is the second single to be taken from the British beltin' babe's upcoming third studio LP, "Sweet Talker," which is full of slick production and showcases Jessie's incredible vocal range and her divisibility as a power-player on the global music scene, will be released on October 14. Jessie's signature vocals shine bright over the high octane, stripped back beat before the track erupts into an epic chorus. Chainz adds his own cool twist to single before Jessie breaks it down as the song comes to a close.
Shot in a luxurious LA mansion with a slew of buff men and talented back-up dancers on hand to step up the glamour, the Hannah Lux Davis-directed clip features a cameo rap from Chainz who makes an appearance in the performance scenes, adding his swaggerific edge to the video. Jessie shows off her incredible figure while lied down on a bed in an intricate embellished gold bikini as she reclines on a pool lounger, surrounded by crystallized water and glistening, shirtless men, Jessie seduces and flexes her dance moves in black latex and can really slay a choreography.

Ed Sheeran ballroom dances his ass off, ditches his typical garb (hoodies and flannel) for something a bit more formal and shows off sexy new look in the dance-driven music video for his uber-romantic single, "Thinking Out Loud," the third single from the British singer-songwriter's chart-topping sophomore album, "X." The video finds the British redhead in a regal ballroom performing a heartwarming lyrical number with a professional dancer.
This soulful song finds Sheeran tipping the hat to his key teenage influence, Van Morrison. Co-wrote with Amy Wadge, Sheeran wrote this love song about his girlfriend, Athina Andrelos, who works for English celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. And the 23-year-old described the romantic ballad as a "walking down the aisle song (for a wedding)." It's a blatant and mercilessly effective bid for "I'll Be"-style wedding-song immortality.
Sheeran pushes this bold stab at romance past its sappiest moments, and ends the album "X" on a likable note. The song on "X" that's most likely to get the average listener moving is "Sing," produced by Pharrell. But Sheeran throws a curveball with this one, unveiling his hard-won new abilities over a slower number that's heavily-indebted to classic soul.
The accompanying music video, directed by Emil Nava who was shot all at once in 16 mm film, sees Sheeran sports in black suit pants, a black suit vest, and a white Oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his tattoos. His female partner, played by 'So You Think You Can Dance' star Brittany Cherry, 20, is barefoot and dressed in a flowy white gown, lending an ethereal vibe to the video. It's pretty much the girl who does all the heavy dancing, but Sheeran's effort definitely deserves some admiration, as he makes the fan world melt with a load of emotionally-loaded dance moves while executing several lifts and twirls to the romantic love song.

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.

The past few months have been pretty crazy for the English pop/R&B band Rixton. They just wrapped up their sold out US headlining tour so now it's time to give us something new by debuting the "interactive" vintage-styled music video to their current hit single, "Wait On Me," the lead-off single off British sensations debut full-length album, "Let The Road," which coming out on January 6 of 2015.
Following the success of "Me And My Broken Heart," the boys of British band Rixton, Jake Roche, Charley Bagnall, Danny Wilkin, and Lewi Morgan, are back with another tune, "Wait On Me," and somehow, it's equal parts Maroon 5 ("One More Night") and Rihanna ("What's My Name"). The Wayne Hector co-written catchy pop tune is basically just this song about a guy telling a girl, "Look no further, for I am the best lover there is!" But, like, in a sexier, cooler way. Oh, and did I mention that the track rhymes "body" with "body"? Well, it does and it's brilliant. On the chorus.
Not only is the song awesome, but the cool new interactive visual is amazing! It is set in the 1920's and is quite unique and the viewer gets to "chose their fate" throughout the video which asks you questions and allows you to click and respond and that affects its outcome. Your decisions effect how it all turns out, which in our case led to Roche hiding in a wine cellar and getting in a lamp fight, but the outcome can be totally different for you depending on what you pick. Check out the video to see how it works!
This video was directed by fourclops ::) and Cameron Duddy. In video, the band is performing a show at a Gatsby-themed mansion party and the host's wife shows interest in Rixton's frontman Roche, who will do more than just singing songs. He'll 'mingle' with a pretty lady at an upstairs room but before "it" happens the mafia boss who hired the band will attack when he finds out he's trying to "get it" with one of his girls. Thankfully, the two newly-met lovebirds will find their way out. Fans have the ability to click through the video and ultimately chose what happens to Roche. Check out the video below and play along.

He recently welcomed her into his world when they collaborated in a Photoshop for agency Select Model Management. Returning the favor, Pixie Lott cast her real-life boyfriend Oliver Cheshire to play the love interest in the steamy music video to her new single, "Break Up Song." Giving a glimpse into their relationship, the pair get steamy in the three minute long clip as they portray the highs and lows of young love.
"Break Up Song," taken from Lott's new self-titled album, is a ballad made up of bittersweet lyrics which the singer has said is one of her favorites off the LP. The 23-year-old singer wrote this song with English singer-songwriter Jim Irvin, and producer Rami Afuni. When asked by You magazine if her model boyfriend Oliver Cheshire minds her writing songs about breaking up like this one, Lott replied: "I don't think he minds, because it makes great music; we are really strong. I think real emotion makes a better song. I just love writing about tragedy and heartbreak."
Directed by Nick Bartlett and filmed at London's Waldorf Hotel, the pop starlet and her 26-year-old beau tell the tale of a couple who have an intensely dangerous and passionate relationship, which basically sees the couple snogging and getting into mischief throughout the video. The action kicks off with the pair running through a hotel restaurant, cheekily grabbing cookies from leftover dinners. Showing off their mischievous side, the pair break into the posh establishment where they are chased around by security before finally escaping and end up in a huge open room as Lott belts out her huge notes, and shows off her tiny figure while lying flat out next to her man.
With some scenes shot using a hand held camera, the duo get hot and steamy and embrace one another as they lock lips and frolic between the sheets. However, the twosome are torn apart when Lott spies Cheshire talking to another woman at the bar and she loses her rag. The video comes to a close with Lott ends their romance by removing what appears to be an engagement ring from her finger before he storms off. The drama then cuts back to the bedroom where they stage make-up sex through Lott's tears and live happily ever after.

Nearly a year into promotions for his critically-acclaimed debut album "Testimony," August Alsina revisits the project with an official music video to his Nicki Minaj-assisted sixth single "No Love (Remix)." The Best New Artist winner of the 2014 BET Awards actually hesitates in the cinematic visual and having a simultaneous affair between a cute curly blonde and voluptuous Minaj. Would you have that hesitation? Me neither! Her Minajesty all the way!
Directed by Benny Boom, the black and white racy video for "No Love (Remix)," which the rapper wrote part of the treatment herself, who and the 22-year-old New Orleans R&B singer get real close and cozy as the sensual, as the smooth R&B track sets the mood. It's not all peachy though, as Minaj and Alsina's love is tested when she kicks him out of the house after one of his old girlfriends calls him on the phone.
By the time she hops on the phone for her guest verse (singing and rapping!), she's back to fiending for Alsina's love, though she admits he's conceited and "weeded," whatever that means. Meanwhile, Alsina's dancing with another rando in the club. While Alsina harmonizes about his inability to commit, the YMCMB femcee swoons in as the woman looking to soften his heart and they look pretty comfy together on camera too, taking selfies. That is, until Alsina gets busted for having a side chick.
"I know you hard, I know that you a killer/ I know you started off a dope dealer/ But let your guard down, your n---as know you feel her," she spits. Minaj's fellow YMCMB rapper Tyga also makes a cameo towards the end of the nearly five-minute clip. After cheating on the "Anaconda" star, and making her go through terrible times of stress and pain, Alsina of course regrets the decision and realizes how much he really loves Minaj's role and comes to his senses quickly realizes that it's time to right those wrongs and he will win Minaj's heart back with a huge flower arrangement and a promise that he'll be exclusively hers from now on. Watch the video for the hood love song below!

Chris Brown sparks a new flame with Ariana Grande as the pair will fight for their medieval love, cozy up, dance and ride horses in the long-awaited romantic fantasy-themed music video for their pop-dance collaboration "Don't Be Gone Too Long." In a fairy tale setting, Brown, 25, courts Grande, 21, play medieval forbidden lovers romancing in the moonlight and display their unbreakable love connection in the video.
Brown continues to keep the surprises coming. After sharing his Trey Songz-assisted record "Songs On 12 Play" on Friday, the R&B star comes through just hours later and delivers a new music video to his dance-pop duet with Grande, "Don't Be Gone Too Long," which was announced back in March, before it was postponed due to Brown's incarceration for breaking the Rihanna case's probation. Then Grande decided to remove herself from the song and cancel the video premiere. A version without Grande will now appear on Brown's sixth album "X," which drops next Tuesday.
Shot in a darkly lit palette with dramatic Arthurian aesthetics and a Romeo and Juliet-inspired plot, the video, directed by Brown himself, taking it back to medieval times, features him and the pint-sized diva as a fairy-tale couple whose happily ever after is interrupted when the two are forced apart. Grande playing a princess who falls in love with Brown, but when discovers their forbidden romance, the royal kingdom heavies appear on horseback to separate the pair, and Brown is captured, hauled away and gets thrown into prison, he must do anything it takes to escape and get back to his love while Grande is kidnapped by an evil king and taken back to captivity on a castle balcony.
Interspersed with the narrative are shots of Brown performing acrobatic dance moves in a castle alongside Grande's tutu-clad ballerina poses and show off their amazing chemistry together in the romantic scenes. Nothing can keep them apart. Brown eventually manages to escape, breaks free, finds himself on a journey back and rescues Grande and the lovebirds reunited, but is discovered by the guards once again toward the end of the visual for a to-be-continued battle on a cliffhanger. The fantasy backdrop is very cool, and the moody video feels like an episode of "Once Upon A Time." Watch their forbidden love story unfold below.

Alicia Keys revealed an uplifting video on Facebook page for her powerful brand new song, "We Are Here," The pregnant songstress wants her child to grow up in a better world than the one we occupy now. Those feelings of world peace and equality spawned the meaningful lyrics to "We Are Here," a new song the R&B artist preaching about the need to rid the world of war, violence and discrimination. The clip is simple, with the focus on the inspirational anthem's message, as Keys pounds the ivories and sings about violent current events.

The stripped-down, piano driven track provides her with ample excuses to put her famous pipes through their paces. "The day I wrote this song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, 'Why are you here.' Why am I here?? This really hit me on a deep level. I realized no one had ever asked me that question before," explains Keys. "As I prepare to give birth to a new child, I can't help and think about the world I'm bringing my baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference. And we all have a voice - we just need to know how to make it heard."
"We Are Here" is a song with a beautiful message and Keys using music to heal and inspire amid the chaos in the world. Keys is inspired by her desire to make a difference and create a kinder and more peaceful world for ALL children. Keys is using her voice to reinforce her vision of an empowered global community in which all people are heard, respected, equal, and treated with dignity. She's rallying fans and challenging them to raise their voices for the causes they believe in - because real change begins with all of us. Keys said, "It's not about me, it's about WE. This is OUR world. And we are here."
Rocking her signature throwback braided and beaded hairstyle straight out of her "Fallin'" days, the Grammy-winning singer uses her voice to spark change and stands for peace, love, and unity on the marching anthem, while reflecting on the current global and political turmoil in Chicago, Israel, Gaza, and Nigeria. "Our souls were brought together so that we could love each other, brother/ We are here /We are here for all of us," Keys croons out on the power ballad from behind the piano on a rooftop overlooking her hometown of New York City in the empowering video.

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.

Jasmine Villegas has been fully entrenched in the entertainment industry since the age of 9, appearing in various television shows and music videos throughout her adolescence, including a leading role in Justin Bieber's "Baby." Now under the stage name Jasmine V, the 20-year-old L.A. songbird has her sights on a music career. After signing a record deal with Interscope Records last year, Jasmine shares her fresh hip hop new single, "That's Me Right There," which features Compton's own Kendrick Lamar that oozes confidence and star power.
"That's Me Right There," which has smooth R&B vibes and a killer booty-shaking beat, will be the first single from Jasmine's upcoming EP this October, with her full-length debut to be released in early 2015. Hailing from San Jose, the rising R&B pop songstress providing some smooth vocals and a catchy hook, while hip hop master Lamar comes in and steals the show with a vicious verse, as expected. As the title implies, "That's Me Right There" is all about Jasmine; backed by Harmony Samuels's trap-tinged percussion and lumbering synth-brass, the singer celebrates her own poise, self-assurance and realness.
"'That's Me Right There' is talking about being confident in a relationship," Jasmine told Rap-Up TV. "Basically saying you can leave your man or girl wherever and at the end of the day, nobody can take them from you." Even so, the cut is a team effort as fellow west coast native Lamar grabs the mic to deliver some characteristically masterful guest bars on the back end. Jasmine was excited to collaborate with the Compton MC. "He's amazing. So low key and he's so quiet, but he's such a humble guy," she said. "I was definitely honored and blessed to be on the same set as him."
But her new flick is pretty grown up. Jasmine keeps her love locked down in the Gil Green-directed video as she heats up the screen with a new man. Most of it features Jasmine dancing suggestively and woos the fellas on the court before portraying a budding romance with a handsome basketball player. They cozy up on the basketball court and on the hood of an old school Chevy, while Jasmine busts out some fierce moves suggestively. With a hoodie covering his eyes, Lamar makes a dark, creepy, and Slim Shady-esque appearance seated behind the wheel of his four-door car. There is no storyline to speak of, other than the basic romance-in-progress. The couple isn't unhappy, but they are clearly meant to be lower income and ethnic.

Fresh off his white-hot performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Usher lights up the screen alongside Nicki Minaj in the dance-heavy and super-sexy new music video for their underground disco, "She Came To Give It To You," the first single off of Usher's upcoming eighth album, "UR." The song is Usher and Minaj's second collaboration since 2010 for their hit tune "Lil Freak." And the new clip features the R&B superstar performing at an underground club, where he has his eye on a particular lady (The Floor's Taylour Paige) and it's a jolly good time.
This dance track finds Mr. Raymond telling a story of love in the club. Produced by Pharrell Williams, who delivers a smooth '80s boogie soul sound, "She Came to Give It to You" boasts the same retro vibe of "Blurred Lines," but instead of borrowing from Marvin Gaye, Usher's cut borrows more from the Gap Band. Minaj jumps in and delivers 16 bars, in which she makes sure the guys know what to do with a good woman: "Tell your man play the back like a spine/ you only last six seconds like a Vine," Minaj raps.
In the video, Usher clad in all black while he walks into an electronic store that are up and down New York City's Eighth Avenue. As he makes his way to the back, he enters a secret night club equipped with a full band as he performs the 70s inspired hit. He shows off his famous fancy footwork with one memorable dance scene with a girl, and Minaj comes through the after-hours party, dressed to kill in all black, looks sassier than ever and spits her quirky verse in front of a wall of TV monitors. The entire reality-bending video has a dark, sexy vibe and features really cool lighting.
Things seem pretty normal at first with Usher just performing the "UR" cut, but at the 1:38 mark, some dude's eyeball melts out of its socket. A few seconds later, another dancer's face erodes off and leaves a skull. The Philip Andelman-directed video also features some impressive camera tricks that seem to bend reality like an Escher etching. Still, the weirdest thing about this video is Usher singing, "Don't be stingy, pass the J." Minaj makes an appearance about halfway through! We first see Minaj's legs and feet as she struts her stuff. The camera pans upward to show Minaj's rocking body in a little black dress.

One bangin' Sunday! It was a big wild night for Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on Sunday night, when the three celebrated performers took the stage to open the  MTV's 2014 Video Music Awards, performing a medley of their own singles and their new hit "Bang Bang," and later dropping the music video, which is set to go off like a bang and shows the most glamorous sides of all the ladies. Despite the song's message, it's the kind of song, you put on when you want to dance and let loose and that's exactly what the three manage to do.
The chart-topping track, which is produced by Max Martin, serves as the first cut off of Jessie J's upcoming third studio album, "Sweet Talker," due out on October 14th and also appear on the deluxe version of Grande's sophomore studio album, "My Everything," released today. Backed by clap-heavy production, and built over big bouncy beats and horn blasts, the up-tempo soulful and powerful song is composed of piercing vocals courtesy of two contemporary crooners, as well as rapid-fire spitting from the hottest female MC on the planet who really steals the show with her verse.
The video for "Bang Bang" was shot on the Paramount lot in Hollywood by Hannah Lux Davis who said: "The concept of the video is really about girls coming together and partying it up." Takes us to the streets of New York and beyond, the retro-inspired clip (with shades of the '60s and '70s) opens with Grande, 21, hangs out in her neon apartment as she applies makeup and prepares for a performance; Minaj, 31, then enters a shot, strutting in stilettos and leopard print and takes us above the concrete jungle, as she climbs into her private helicopter drops her off on the helipad on top of one of NYC's skyscrapers.
And finally Jessie J, 26, makes her appearance on a steamy NYC street, driving down a busy thoroughfare in a hot rod and shakes her groove thing with her friends. The trio of divas then break it down in respective scenes shine and shake their booty while singing they turn the streets of Manhattan into a pink paradise." While they take their 'bang bang' action out on the middle of the NYC streets and into the room, the video is certainly not a let down as the dynamic pop trio then come together on the rooftop, wearing brightly-colored skimpy outfits. It makes us wish summer would never end!

So was she just daydreaming? Only one week after premiering her new single "Comeback," the up-and-coming London soul songstress Ella Eyre premiered the Jon Jon Augustavo-directed music video which documents a tale of bittersweet revenge. Described as "the ultimate break up song" by Eyre, her newest "Comeback" feeds off comradery and girl power, is the second single follows her debut single "If I Go" from her upcoming full-length debut album, still untitled, scheduled to be released later this year via Virgin EMI Records.
With a whole heap of attitude, this thrilling, horn-led smash new tune is based on a break-up Eyre experienced at 17, but is written from the point of view of speaking to a troubled best friend. "We've all been played, we've all been hurt, just take the pain, let that motherf**ker burn... you will find in time, that they always come back." Fierce, bold and brash, it's a feel good ditty about empowerment, independence and strength. Eyre says her previous track, if "If I Go" was about whether or not she should leave a relationship, and "Comeback" is about the relationship’s aftermath. "There's no more vulnerability, it's a very defiant 'f**k you,'" she says.
Eyre returns with visuals for the rousing, scorned-lover-anthemic-energy and powerhouse vocals of "Comeback," the U.S.-shot video reflecting her feelings about the sassy, fiery breakup song, with Eyre saying "'Comeback' is such a...boisterous, attitudey and quite a fierce sort of song, I wanted a video that could relate to that, really, and I think for me all I can say is that it's for me what represents what anyone would want to do to their ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend if they ever found out that they cheated on them."
The clip opens with Eyre and her ex talking at a diner. He wants her back but she is not buying since he's a filthy cheater and will always be one. So, not caring about what he has to say, Eyre begins to daydream upon looking at her ex's car keys. As Eyre and her pack of trendy pals getting sweet revenge; turning up at his house, smashing plates, causing havoc in his bedroom and even blowing up his car! At the end of the video, Eyre wakes up from her daydreaming, throws a glass of water to the man's face and walks out the diner.
