Cheryl – “Under The Sun” Music Video

Cheryl’s music video for Under The Sun premiered today on her official VEVO. Under The Sun is the second single to be taken from Cheryl’s third album, A Million lights.

Under The Sun’s video is reminiscent of Girls Aloud’s The Promise with it’s 60’s theme. The video isn’t at all what I expected it to be like. Nothing really happens in it except Cheryl walking around a diner and the streets with guys checking her out. For a song called Under The Sun, the video doesn’t have much sun in it. Cheryl breaks into a dance routine for the second pre-chorus and chorus where it turns to night time and begins to rain. Cheryl then returns to looking pretty in the diner.

Overall it’s a decent video but it’s just a bit boring compared to the highly energetic Call My Name video. Cheryl’s nice to look at though.

Under The Sun will be released on September 3rd through Polydor.

Little Mix – “Wings” Music Video

Published July 25th 2012

The music video for Little Mix’s debut single Wings (not counting their X Factor winners single), premiered today.

The video is very Cher Lloyd. By that I mean it’s clearly aimed at a young audience and features a lot of colourful cartoon squiggles and lines layered on top of the video. Cher Lloyd’s Swagger Jagger had similar effects.

The video comes across quite amateurish, which is allowed considering it’s a debut single but the girls seemed a lot more established and experienced on The X Factor and this doesn’t come across in the video. They also came across much more mature on The X Factor. However, it’s nice to see a girlband’s debut video for the first time and already know who they are and what kind of personalities they have, and the video manages to get this across.

Wings is finally going to be released in the UK on August 19th. For such an important release for the girls, this single campaign has really been dragged out.

Owl City feat. Carly Rae Jepsen – “Good Time” Video

The music video for Owl City’s collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen on his new single Good Time has premiered on VEVO. The video is very basic, doing exactly what the song is about; just having a good time at a party.

Following Call Me Maybe, Good Time is one of the catchiest, most infectious songs of the year. Although it’s not nearly as good as Call Me Maybe.

Good Time is already doing considerably well in the U.S., charting at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. I’m still looking forward to Carly’s own upcoming single, Curiosity.

Good Time is out on August 12th in the UK.

Tulisa feat. Tyga – “Live It Up”

Published July 24th 2012
Filed under Reviews

Tulisa’s second single from her forthcoming debut solo album premiered on radio today. Live It Up, like Young, is a summer anthem. The track features rapper Tyga.

On first listen, it’s nothing special but I’m sure it will be a grower. It took a while to get into Young.

There’s a vocodered vocal on the track behind the lead vocals during the verses which is a bit repetitive and annoying. It reminds me of Cheryl’s Make You Go. However, the chorus is a little more instant and less shouty than Young.

You can listen to Live It Up below:

Live It Up is released on September 9th.

The tracklisting for P!nk’s sixth studio, The Truth About Love, has been released on iTunes. Some of the songs have very interesting titles.

It’s still unknown which track Lily Allen features on but I’m guessing it’s one of the more “out there” titles such as Slut Like You, Chaos & Piss or Walk of Shame.

The standard edition of the album only contains the first 13 tracks as P!nk has said she likes her albums to have 13 tracks, since it’s her lucky number.

The track list includes the following:

01. Are We All We Are
02. Blow Me (One Last Kiss)
03. Try
04. Just Give Me A Reason
05. True Love
06. How Come You’re Not Here
07. Slut Like You
08. The Truth About Love
09. Beam Me Up
