Music Choice

Girls run the world….doesn’t everybody know that? From the original queens of the music game to those just getting off the bench, girls are completely dominating!

We can always count on Mariah Carey & Jennifer Lopez to give us the perfect summer anthems! Mariah’s ballad #beautiful featuring Miguel features the mom of two chilling on a motorcycle sporting a scandalous shorts and black cut out crop top combo. I’ve never seen Mariah look any better- and let’s not forget Ms. J Lo! Her new song featuring Pitbull “Live it Up” is sure to be a club banger, not to mention we are currently playing it on our Pop Latino channel. J Lo is doing the mom thing, the music thing and of course, the fashion thing! She gave an exclusive sneak peek for the fall collection of her clothing line Jennifer Lopez for Kohls earlier this week that include jumpsuits, comfy harem pants and bedazzling jewelry!

If you’ve felt like it’s been attack of the former Disney Queens lately, you’re not alone! Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus aren’t letting anyone steal their sunshine! There’s a reason Miley Cyrus is #1 on Maxims Hot 100…it’s because this girl pulls ANY look together ever so perfectly! Miley gets an A+ for her flawless red carpet look with a black and white Valentino jumpsuit and striped Saint Laurent heels. Pulling it all together with a popping red lip and that spiky blonde hair, Miley is Valedictorian for this red carpet style course…SPEECH! Demi Lovato looked better than ever last weekend at Wango Tango in LA sporting an all black look including a sheer Raquel Allegra tie dye tunic, YSL heels, Topshop pants and a crop top! Looking fabulous Demi-plus I love the blonde locks!

Whose styles are digging more? Do the original queens of the game still have it or is it all about the former Disney queens?

Tell me what you think!

Until next time- Brookie

Daft Punk’s New Album Leaks!

It was bound to happen… Virtually no highly-anticipated release from a major artist goes un-leaked on the internet these days. This is exactly what happened to the celebrated French electronic duo Daft Punk, and their new LP, Random Access Memories. And once one website posts the stream, that album has little to no choice of falling on deaf ears. So despite Columbia Records’ best interests, RAM is out in the open, and people are universally ecstatic. The group has been dropping hints of the new album for weeks now, with video teasers, confirmed collaborators, the release of a massively, infectious single, and interviews with major music blogs and magazines. Sure, no artist wants their music to come out too soon; but ever since Napster paved the way for illegal consumption of music back in the late 90’s, this has become an all too regular practice. The album? I’ve heard it. Is it amazing? Absolutely. It’s more mellow than most fans would expect, but it makes up for the lack of hard-hitting EDM with groovy, well-crafted songs about love and dancing and everything we come to expect from Daft Punk. It officially arrives on May 21st. Until next time, Indie-minded friends…

Check out Daft Punk’s first single off Random Access Memories, “Get Lucky”, on the MCU, Hit List, Alternative, and Dance/Electronica audio channels.

A Week in Magazine Covers & Sneakers

My oh my- it’s been a jam packed week full of star studded magazine covers and sneaker love! Selena Gomez has been making the rounds to any and every media outlet promoting her new single Come & Get It- an infectiously catchy song that’s nearly impossible to get out of your head! The starlet’s collab with ADIDAS NEO launched this week which includes sporty and chic sneakers that are perfect for the summer season! I love this collection because it’s girly, fun and most importantly- PRACTICAL. It’s always the worst when a pair of kicks totally ruins your cute outfit- but thanks to Selena, that’s not the case! Guess who else loves sneakers? A$AP Rocky …duh! He’s featured in ADIDAS’ Hoops brand new “#quickaintfair” campaign that focuses on the philosophy behind the Crazyquick sneaker. That’s pretty…dope.

Okay- so A$AP is featured on the newest commercial for ADIDAS, has two songs sitting pretty on the charts, and a lavish feature in the May issue of GQ in full blown nautical gear. Chilling on a yacht with straight off the runway models, Rocky is decked out in a stripped Ralph Lauren No-Sweat Sweater and white shorts, a Stampd Los Angeles cap, and a Louis Vutton belt…it doesn’t get any preppier than this. From preppy to completely risque, Ms. Liam Hemsworth sets the record straight that Hannah Montana was probably a figment of all our imaginations. Miley is featured on recently released projects with Snoop Lion and will.i.am, but my favorite new project is her spread in V Magazine. Is she just being Miley? Well…you be the judge. Baring down to nearly nothing in American Apparel briefs, Y-3 pants and Chanel, she definitely proves that twerking in your spare time does the body good. :)
