"My Life Would Suck Without You" - NEW Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly Clarkson has just released her new song, which occupies the No.1 spot on I-Tune (beating out even U2's new single). "My life would suck with you" can be found on her forthcoming album "All I Ever Wanted". It's not much of a departure and resonates like her huge hit "Since U Been Gone". Hopefully this new album does better then "My December" which tanked --- BIG TIME.

"Get on your boots" - NEW U2.

This is U2's new single "Get on your boots". Their new album "No Line On The Horizon" will hit stores on March 3rd. I don't know what you all think but this just sounds like "Vertigo" warmed up. I like old U2. Their new stuff of late has been too industrial and void of any emotion. The sound is cold and leaves me feeling nothing...nada...zilp...zilch.

Pure gold...Santogold, that is.

If you're a fan of MIA you are going to dig Santogold. Santogold, by her stage name, is Santi White, an American singer-songwriter. She was the opening act for Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" tour and has been praised by artists like Bjork. She accused reviewers and music vendors of being racists because they labeled her music as hip-hop and R&B, just because she was black. What you have here is a fresh collection of songs that transcends any genres. But you can definitely hear that her sound is 80's inspired.Her self-titled album, "Santogold", is in stores now or can be found on I-Tunes. See her video for "Lights Out", below.
