Just when we were beginning to feel our yards have been boy-free for entirely too long, the diva whose milkshake outdoes everybody else’s is back, lending vocals to Scottish producer Calvin Harris’ new single“Bounce.”Over a chipper club beat,our 2010 faveKelis croons:“We bounce to this track, and I don’t care what anybody thinks about that.” And while we applaud the“Brave”songbird’s independence, there’s no cause for her indifference—Flesh Tonefans should be perfectly happy bouncing along with this new dance jam all summer long. Listen below.

50 Cent And David Guetta Party About B.S. On New Dance Track | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
David Guetta has pretty much collaborated with everyone at this point, there’s no reason to leave 50 Cent out of the party. Their new dance track,“Bullshit& Party”, is rumored to be from Guetta’s next album, and it may be the most uptempo song Fiddy’s ever recorded. Wave your glowsticks to the frenetic rave-friendly jam after the jump.
50 Cent& David Guetta - Bullshit& Party
“All we do is bullshit and party around the globe on world tour,” raps 50 on the explicative-laced (but pumped up) track. Does starring ingenre moviescount as bullshitting or partying?
50 Cent collaborating with David Guetta on a dance/trance track might be eye-raising, but it’s nowhere near as“Huh?” worthy than the news that Fiddy is launching his own comedy website,This Is 50 Comedy. We’re not sure what to expect, but we’d love to find out that his Twitter feed is just a huge joke.

Eminem And Royce Da 5′9″Rap About Nicki Minaj’s Booty In“Fast Lane”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Do you enjoy some good old fashioned misogyny in your rap songs? Well, there’s anti-woman smack talk aplenty in Eminem and Royce’s new joint track“Fast Lane”. Off theirupcoming EP, the track features Em talks about a variety of sexual acts, including doing some naughty things to his“Roman’s Revenge”buddy Nicki Minaj’s very prominent assets. Listen below.
There’s lots going on in this quick-paced jam, but we’re too focused on Em giving a slightly disturbing shout-out to Nicki Minaj:“I hope I don’t sound too heinous when I say this, but Nicki Minaj, but I want to stick my penis in your anus.”
Charming. Almost as lovely as this bon mot:“If you don’t suck my dick you’re gonna get decapitated / Otherwise if you don’t give me head, I’m gonna have to take it.”
Are we being too sensitive here, or do you also get queasy hearing statements like these made so flippantly?

The track was originally recorded by Jamaican singer/songwriter Tami Chynn, who’sa protege of Akon, who alsohelped sign Lady Gaga, so it’s all really one big (hypnotic) circle, really.

Neon Hitch“Silly Girl”: Song Premiere | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
It’s no secret that we’re hooked on sassy songstress Neon Hitch, who tore up ourSXSW Pray For Pop Partylast month with her set of catchy electro-pop jams (watch here). So we’re delighted to hit you with the premiere of a brand new track from the crimson-haired singer-songwriter today, ahead of her appearance at this weekend’sBamboozle Festival. Head below to hear Neon Hitch’s“Silly Girl”!
For“Silly Girl,” the UK singer hooked up with Switch (who produced Beyonce’s“Run The World (Girls)”) to write the track. Neon Hitch’s frequent collaborator Benny Blanco handled production chores.
“I’d just got off tour and I went in the studio with Switch,” Neon Hitch tells us about the slow-bubbling dubstep groove.“We partied all night and happened to lay a few melodies. A month later Switch got in the studio with Benny Blanco and played the demo. Benny loved the scratch demo so much that we didn’t really change the song at all.”
Way to get us shuffling around the office on a Monday morning, Ms. Hitch!
Are you digging“Silly Girl”? Let us know below.

A month afterthe death of G-funk crooner Nate Dogg, his good friend and“Regulate” collaborator Warren G has offered up the tribute jam“This Is Dedicated To You.” The song, which is based around the mournful melody of the Eagles’“Hotel California,” features LaToiya Williams (spelled as“LaToya” on the single cover) and is set to be added to iTunes tomorrow (April 26), according toRap-Up.com.

“Reminiscing, memories, on my way to visit you in therapy / Hopin’ God will make it clear to me on what the plan is, this dirty game is hella scandalous / So this right here is dedicated to Nate,” West Coast MC Warren G raps on“This Is Dedicated To You.”
It’s great to hear the Long Beach rapper pay his respects to Nate Dogg, both of whom started out with Snoop Dogg in the group 213. We only wish“Boom”MC Snoop had made an appearance on this track as well.
Are you feeling Warren G’s musical epitath to his friend Nate Dogg?

Preview Jennifer Lopez’s Club-Friendly‘Love?’Album | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Jennifer Lopez’sLove?may be dubious when it comes to romance, but it is overly confident when it comes to the club. After listening to a preview of all 16 tracks on the deluxe edition of her seventh studio album, we really think she should have named itDance!instead. Listen to snippets of every track below, and tell us which one is bound to be J-Lo’s biggest hit.

And is it just us, or do the background“ay”’s in“I’m Into You”— the next single off the album — sound alotlike the one’s in Usher’s“Love In This Club”? Or are we hearing things?

Kid Cudi Reveals His Wicked Awesome New Record Label And Band Name | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Giving up the ganjaisn’t the only change Kid Cudi is making in his life these days. During a performance at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom on Thursday,“Mr. Rager”made two major announcements: he is changing the name of his band (with Dot Da Genius) from Wizard to 2 Be Continuum, and his new record label will be called Wicked Awesome Records (he recently split with Dream On).“I needed something more original, something different. But it’s still wizardry at its finest,” the“All Of The Lights”rapper explained. Watch a video of the“Capcom” kid’sannouncement below.
If we didn’t know better, we’d say“2 Be Continuum” sounds like a band name someone would only come up with while stoned. But we’re all for it if it brings us closer to thenew musicwe’ve been promised. Let’s hope it’s as wicked awesome as Kid Cudi’s new label!

Ke$ha And Nicki Minaj Remix Britney Spears’“Till The World Ends”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
If anybody was going to remix Britney Spears’ single“Till The World Ends”, it may as well be Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj. K-Dolla, of course, co-wrote Brit’s apocalypse-set dance party jam, and Harajuku Barbie will betouring with the pop star this Summer.

The full single is set to debut this Monday. The weekend has barely started and we already can’t wait for it to be over!

Hear David Cook’s New Single“The Last Goodbye”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
The song’s title would have you believe it’s some sappy ballad, but David Cook’s new single“The Last Goodbye”—the first offering from his upcomingThis Loud MorningLP—is here, and it’s pretty rockin’. The new tune from the Season 7American Idolalum was added to iTunes today. Give a listen and weigh in on it below!
“if you hear this on the radio, then we’ve already said our last goodbye,” Cook laments about a lost love on his new single, a co-write with Ryan Tedder. Later he adds,“We were almost beautiful, a broken piece of art put on display.”
Musically, we’re almost getting a Kelly Clarkson-meets-Coldplay vibe here, though David’s vocals are unmistakably his own. We’re just happy he’s kicking things off this time around with an upbeat number.
“The Last Goodbye” marks Cook’s official return following his eponymous, post-Idoldebut, which came out nearly three years ago. From what you’ve heard so far, was it worth the wait?

Beyonce’sMajor Lazer-samplingnew jam“Girls (Who Run The World)” is out, and it’s a chirpy, shimmery thrill ride. (Glastonburyfans better learn the lyrics).

Listen below and decide for yourself.

Hear A Snippet Of What’s Said To Be Beyonce’s“Girls (Who Rule The World)”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Over the past week we’ve seen variousshots of Beyonceon different sets for what is said to be her upcoming“Girls (Who Rule The World)” music video. And today a short, 15-second snippet of what’s alleged to be the song has surfaced online. When it comes to the mysterious buzzing of the Bey, you can never be too sure what’s what. But head below to hear the brief clip of what may or may not be Beyonce’s upcoming single!
In the song, Beyonce sings about women who flaunt it and are“strong enough to bear the children then get back to business” over a sample of Major Lazer’sGuns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Dojam“Pon De Floor.”
Beyonce - Girls (Who Rule The World) (snippet)
There’s really no way to judge this with only a short piece of the tune available, but it sounds promising. Below is the original Major Lazer song.

Jennifer Lopez Dances For Her“Papi”In New‘Love?’Track | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Given that her first two singles are the only collaborations with other artists onLove?, werecently wonderedwhether or not Jennifer Lopez would be able to carry the remainder of the album all on her own. Now the answer is here in the form of theBillboard Music Award performer’s“Papi,” produced by RedOne, the third single (already!) from J-Lo’s latest LP (dropping May 3). Listen to the Latina-tinged“On The Floor”-style club banger below.
While this track, like“On The Floor,” doesn’t bring anything new to the dance party table (or require J-Lo to learn any new tricks we didn’t already hear from her a decade ago), that isn’t really a problem. This track is totally club-ready and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t play just as well as“On The Floor.”
As if theworld’s most beautiful womanreally needs another boost to her ego!

UPDATE: Hear Lady Gaga’s New Single“Judas”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Harper’s Bazaarcover girlLady Gaga might be clutching the Rosary today over her newBorn This Waysingle“Judas”popping up online, ahead of its official April 19 release date. A low-quality snippet of the song was doing the rounds, but now the full song has now surfaced. Hear it below!
“Judas” appears to combine dubstep, dance-pop and even heavy metal elements into one fast-paced oddity of a tune. We’re just still laughing, allBeavis And Butt-head-like, over Gaga employing the words“hooker,”“prostitute” and“wench.”
Check out this snippet, courtesy ofPopCrush.
If anything, this short bit of the song proves thatthese lyrics, at least in part, are bunk.
UPDATE:Here’s the full song…
Lady Gaga - Judas (full song)
From the intro to the chorus to Lady Gaga calling out her own name in theJudas-jude-ah-ahchant,“Judas” comes off as being reminiscent of her 2009 smash“Bad Romance.”
During herchat at Google’s headquarterslast month, Gaga mentioned that“Judas is a man of the Biblical senses. So expect to see some symbolism in this video.”
What do you think of“Judas”? Is it another hit or a complete miss for Lady Gaga?

Diddy-Dirty Money Sample Sade In New Free Track“No Ordinary Love”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Looks like we’re not the only ones planning to pick up Sade’sUltimate Collectionwhen it drops— to kick off the start of their Coming Home tour in Minneapolis last night, Diddy-Dirty Money are giving away a free track,“No Ordinary Love”, which covers the chorus to the Brit soul group’s hit of the same name. (They also squeeze in some“Soldier Of Love”in there, too.) Check out Diddy-Dirty Money’s tribute to Sade below.
Diddy-Dirty Money - No Ordinary Love (Coming Home Tour Edition)
Full of syncopated beats pulsing over Sade’s original soulful melody and lyrics, we think D-DM have created a new genre of music: electro-blues. We’re surprised how well they could pull this off.
What do you think?

Hear Far East Movement’s Original Version Of“Rocketeer”With Bruno Mars Singing | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Before Ryan Tedder laid his featured vocals down on Far East Movement’s Top 10 single“Rocketeer,”naturally there was a demo version. And lo and behold, that demo sports the golden pipes ofour favorite bowling partnerBruno Mars, who co-wrote and co-produced the dreamy mid-tempo jam. We’ve got the original version of“Rocketeer” featuringGrammy winnerBruno below—give it a listen!
The L.A.-based gents of Far East Movement are all over the place lately—sidling up to Rihannabackstage in Sydney, performingwith Snoop Dogg, stripping things down for theCherrytree House Sessions, Vol. 1collection (it’s out now). So it’s nice to take a moment and check out an early recording by these guys, before they blew up.
Far East Movement feat. Bruno Mars - Rocketeer
Once we got our mitts on the“Rocketeer” demo, it became apparent that this song would have been just as big a hit with Mars’ vocals still intact.

Hear The Bright And Shiny Long Lost Sun Remix Of Owl City’s“Alligator Sky”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Having remixed Owl City’s“Umbrella Beach”last year, Long Lost Sun have a bit of a history with whimsical music maker Adam Young. They’re currently keeping the synth-pop ball rolling by lending their mixing skills to the one-man band yet again, for new single“Alligator Sky.” Hear the Long Lost Sun mix of OC’s latest below.
This version of“Alligator Sky” whips dreamy keyboard riffs, insistent hand claps and upbeat production into a giddy Owl City-esque wall of sound. We snatched this rendition up as soon as it came to our attention. But, like magic, it appears to have disappeared—except for here.
“Where was I when the rockets came to life and carried you away to the alligator sky?” Young wonders on the tune. Later, Shawn Chrystopher raps,“I sit on my star I see street lights / Look up, you’ll miss me if you blink twice.”
Owl City feat. Shawn Chrystopher - Alligator Sky (Long Lost Sun Remix)
“Alligator Sky” features on Owl City’sOcean Eyesfollow-upAll Things Bright And Beautiful, which is out June 14. Young heads out on a summer tour the day before.

Pet Shop Boys’Single“Together”Gets U.S. Release, Pepptalk Mix | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Godfathers of synth-cool awesomeness Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe—aka Pet Shop Boys–haven’t exactly been sitting on their respective duffs since releasing their Grammy-nominated LPYestwo years ago. In addition to embarking on a world tour, writing a musical score for the current London ballet production of Hans Christian Andersen’sThe Most Incredible Thingand, most recently, signing up to hit the road with Take That across Europe this summer, the pair also released new single“Together” overseas last year. Tomorrow the song gets a U.S. release. Hear two of the mixes below!
You might recall the Boys’ raddance-off video for“Together,”directed by Peeter Rebane and shot in Estonia, from last fall. The song initially appeared on the pair’s European greatest hits offeringUltimate(which, despite its title, was missing a few key singles if you ask us).
At any rate,“Together” hits U.S. iTunes tomorrow. Below is the waltz-influenced extended version and previously unreleased Pepptalk Mix.
Pet Shop Boys - Together (Extended Mix)
Pet Shop Boys— ”Together (Pepptalk Mix)”
Also included on the U.S. iTunes release: Pet Shop Boys’ covers of Dave Clarke Five’s“Glad All Over” and Kate McGarrigle’s“I Cried For Us,” recorded as B-sides to the single.

After being MIA since 2007, the chart-driven prestige fest that honors winners based on sales is bringing Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Taio Cruz, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, and the Black Eyed Peas to the stage to perform when the showairs live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. (Is J-Lo currently the busiest woman on the planet or what?) And while we sort of think“lots of money” should be reward enough for charting highly, we know exactly where we’ll be when this star-studded spectacle lands on May 22.

While the album title leaves it a little ambiguous, there is no question mark needed when referring to the adoration fans have for J-Lo’s“comeback.” Now we have less than a month to wait untilLove?’s May 3 release date, when we will really know if thePia-mourningdiva’s latest LP is moreOn the 6(hit!) or moreBrave(flop).

Who Did“Airplanes” Better — B.o.B Or Lupe Fiasco? | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
We already know that Lupeoriginally recorded the song“Nothin’ On You”, and that it went on to be released by B.o.B and became a Grammy-nominated chart-topper for the rising artist. (Lupe, suffice to say,wasn’t too happy about it.) Well, that wasn’t the only Bobby Ray single that could have been Fiasco’s smash hit in an alternate universe – the MC also recorded other Grammy-nomm’d song “Airplanes”. Listen to both versions below and tell us who did it better!
First, here’s the Atlanta rapper’s version, featuring the Paramore frontwoman whom henever metuntil hefinally did:
Now check out Fiasco’s version, in which he raps about two lovers, whereas B.o.B used the song as an expression of handling success:
Lupe Fiasco feat. Hayley Williams - Airplanes
The biggest thing missing from Lupe’s version? Energy. Maybe we’re simply used to B.o.B’s take since that’s the version we’re used to, but Bobby Ray’s spirited delivery makes Lupe just come off as disinterested.
But honestly, either way we think this track would have been a hit, since it’s really Hayley’s hook that sells it.
But that’s us. Which version do you prefer? And how bitter do you think Lupe is of B.o.B?

Listen To Chris Brown’s‘F.A.M.E.’Bonus Track“Talk Ya Ear Off” | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Chris Brown huffed and puffed away from histemper tantrumbackstage ofGood Morning Americamostly unscathed— after a few bad days of press, Brown was still allowed toperform onDancing With The Starsand even scored his first#1 album. Not included on version ofF.A.M.E.released here in the States was“Talk Ya Ear Off”, a Timbaland-produced bonus track on the Japanese edition of his album. On the bubbling beatbox-assisted tune, Chris calls all the“pretty ladies to the floor” and lets them know he’s not interested in them because he wants some conversation.
Chris Brown - Talk Ya Ear Off
Kicking in with some beatboxing that lays itself across the whole track, Timbaland does his usual thing while Brown makes it work in this catchy dance club number. We just wish Breezy would cut back on the Auto Tune. We know he can sing— why mask your voice with so much production?
What do you think of Brown’s latest?

Pharrell Isn’t Playing Around On His‘Tron: Legacy’Rap“The Game Has Changed”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
If you’re getting antsy waiting for theTron: Legacyremix albumto come out, here’s a little something to hold you over. A new track featuring Pharrell rapping over Daft Punk’smoody scorefor the film has just leaked, and true to its name,“The Game Has Changed” putsSara Bereilles’ web cam buddyin a whole new ballgame (or should we say video game?). OnlyTronstar Jeff Bridges covering N.E.R.D.’s“Hot N’ Fun”could have our curiosity any more piqued. Have a listen below.
“LikeTron, I’m brightly outlining my shit up,” thefence-hopperspits in just one of many cinematic shout-outs (appropriate, given that the music is from a movie). The references are all over the place:The Da Vinci Code,King Kong,Twilight, Mini Me,Return of the Jedi, and of course, Michael Jackson (since seemingly every rapper feels the urge to name-check the late King of Pop at least once per song). And while initially this pairing of rap with the Disney sci-fi flick’s soundtrack seems like a totally random experiment, it all kinda makes sense when we recall that Daft Punk produced“Hypnotize U”on N.E.R.D.’sNothing, and the Neptunesremixedthe French duo’s“Harder Better Faster Stronger”long before Kanye West ever got his hands on it.
Pharrell - The Game Has Changed
We think the gloomy, suspenseful Daft Punk score is a strange but surprisingly good bedfellow for Pharrell’s intense (and equally dark) verses, which give us such memorable gems as “run too hard, you might tear your meniscus” and informs us thatthe Oh Land collaboratormisses“the taste of blood.” (Meanwhile, we’ll also get to hear the Crystal Method’s take on “The Game Has Changed” whenTron: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3Ddrops on Tuesday.)
“I hate to eat and run, but this was delicious,” is Pharrell’s exit line here, and while we completely agree, at just over two minutes, this is more like a tasty snack than a fully satisfying meal. The track ends rather abruptly — is this possibly just a taste of more to come? Probably not,but we’re intrigued enough by “The Game Has Changed” that we could go for hearing Pharrell rhyme over the entire soundtrack.
Consider our appetite for rapping over film scores officially whetted. More, please!

Nicki Minaj - Tragedy (snippet)
We can’t say Lil Kim didn’t have this coming aftergruesomely decapitatingtheSongs for Japanartiston herBlack Fridaycover art (not to mention thevideo). But Nicki’s already clearly come out ahead in this battle royale thanks to all her recent success, while Lil Kim came off as a has-been struggling to stay relevant by cashing in on controversy she herself created. Is a response from Nicki necessary? Absolutely not— but you’ll never hear us complaining about new music from this“Fly”girl, especially when the result is as delightfully catty as“Tragedy.”

‘Glee’Planning A Super-Sized“Born This Way”Episode As Warblers Ask“Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”| Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com
Glee’s April 26 episode is so big, it won’t even fit in its normal time slot.Reportssay that the ep, titled“Born This Way”— which, incidentally, concludes with a rousing performance of Lady Gaga’s single, may be expanded to 90 minutes. More details (and a brand new Warblers tune!) below.
In the episode, the kids deal with self-acceptance issues, such as Lauren running for prom queen and Rachel considering a nose job. It was also mentioned by show creator Ryan Murphy that this episode may involve Kurt’s bully, Karofsky, finally taking a step toward accepting his sexuality.
“This show is by nature optimistic and I think a character like Karofsky could turn to booze or pills or alcohol and kill themselves or do something dark,”he toldEntertainment Weeklyback in January.“But I also love Max and I love that character and I sorta want that character to have a happy ending. So I don’t really know what that’s going to be, but I do know we’re going to do a whole episode that’s about {Gaga's 'Born This Way'}.”
Instead of cutting anything out of the episode, producers want to add two more musical numbers and make this a super-sized episode. May we suggest simply having The Warblers sing two more songs?
Check out Darren Criss and his merry men singing“Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”. (Short answer: yes.)
