dance pop

Well, two of the hottest divas in the pop music industry have had both their collaborations leak online (coincidence?). Video Phone by Beyoncé, an old track from her I Am...Sasha Fierce LP has now been remixed with vocals from GaGa and will appear on the Platinum Edition of the album. While I've always admired the slick, eerie beat-driven intro from the original which has thankfully being extended with some Wild West themed effects, the track has always been too overlong and plodding for my liking. While GaGa adds a refreshing twist to the song, both her and Beyoncé showing plenty of swagga, I still find that this track is a bit of a bore. Hopefully my opinion of this song will change when the "wild" delayed video premieres on the 23rd November (as rumour has it)!
Listen to Beyonce's Video Phone (Extended Mix) here!

It seems like an age rather than a mere three and a half weeks since Alexandra Burke's debut single* Bad Boys first premiered on the Chris Moyles show on BBC Radio 1. And once we had gotten over the shock of finding out that this single wouldn't be the typical post X-Factor ballad (holy cow!), it would, in fact, be a highly danceable electropop tune (get outta here!) and it would feature everyone's favourite American rap gentleman, Flo Rida (*faints*). We've all been waiting for the bloody music video already!
